The document discusses factors that can contribute to the collapse of civilizations, using the examples of Cahokia and Easter Island. For Cahokia, overreliance on corn as a single food source led to problems with nourishment and lack of enough farmland as population grew. On Easter Island, overharvesting of trees for resources led to their depletion and an inability to sustain population growth. More broadly, the document notes that lack of vital resources like land, food, water, and an inability to replenish or expand these resources can undermine civilizations.

Microbes in Soil Essential to Plant Growth, Scientists SayMabel_Berry
It’s now widely accepted by scientists that organisms in the soil are significant factors in plant health. An agricultural scientist and professor, Phil Robertson, said these organisms form a small world in the soil they live in. They decompose dead greens and creatures and redistribute their nutrients to growing plants. These organisms are likened to the ones found in the gut, which aid in digestion.
Feeding a growing world population with the aid of scienceeli_rothstein
It is challenging enough trying to rustle up enough food to feed a planet that already runs to seven billion people, and which is predicted to add a further two billion mouths by the middle of the century, without wasting so much of the food that we have managed to grow, cultivate, milk and rear.

WebVisions – ViziCities: Bringing Cities to Life Using Big DataRobin Hawkes
Imagine being able to explore any city in the world in 3D in your browser. Now imagine being able to overlay data onto your city - transport, crime, pollution, social data and weather - all live and in real time…and it was open source!
In this session Peter and Robin will talk about how they're creating ViziCities, an open-source, 3D visualisation platform, combining cutting-edge web technologies with open data to create beautiful visualisations. If you can’t imagine it…imagine SimCity for real life.
We’ll discuss the power that new types of visualisation present for all of us to better see, understand and make decisions in our worlds.
We’ll guide you through the technologies we're using, including D3 and WebGL, the design approach we’re using and share some important lessons learnt along the way.
By the end, we hope to have inspired you to start experimenting with these technologies to create beautiful visualisations of your own.

ENVIRONMENTALISM ITS ARTICLES OF FAITHNorthwest Environmental J.docxkhanpaulita
ENVIRONMENTALISM: ITS ARTICLES OF FAITH
Northwest Environmental Journal Vol. 5:1, (1989) p. 100
Victor Scheffer
Here I offer an interpretation of environmentalism, a body of principles and practices so recently manifest in national thought that its meanings are still disputed. It is called, for example, "a theology of the earth," "a religion of self restraint," and "a science rooted in resource management and ecology." I define it broadly as "a movement toward understanding humankind's natural bases of support while continuously applying what is learned toward perpetuating those bases."
The word environmentalism entered the American vernacular during the 1960s. An editorial in Science (Klopsteg 1966) noted that "one of the newest fads in Washington-and elsewhere-is 'environmental science.' The term has political potency even if its meaning is vague and questionable." Environmentalism was at first perceived by the public as merely a response to a crisis, but it quickly proved more than that. As Lord Ashby (1978:3) explained to a Stanford University group:
A crisis is a situation that will pass; it can be resolved by temporary hardship, temporary adjustment, technological and political expedients. What we are experiencing is not a crisis, it is a climacteric. For the rest of man's history on earth. . . he will have to live with problems of population, of resources, of pollution.
The vision of environmentalism is to preserve those things in nature which will allow the human enterprise, or civilization, to endure and improve. (I use the word nature for the world without humans, a concept which-like the square root of minus one-is unreal, but useful.) Because civilization depends absolutely on surroundings that are healthful and stimulating, environmentalism aims to protect both material and spiritual values. At the risk of oversimplifying, 1 review five articles of faith which support and energize the environmental movement. They reflect ideas developed by "earthkeepers" from the time of George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882) down to the present.
1) All things are connected. The cosmos is a set of dependencies so complex that its boundaries lie forever beyond understanding. Simply lifting a spadeful of garden soil disturbs a trillion protistan lives, impinges on the lifter's muscles and mind, and changes the landscape. The poet who mused, "Thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star," was struck by the unitary connectedness of all matter (Thompson 1966 [1897]:19). He was an environmentalist before his time. Now we technological beings have Spun a web of change around the whole earth and nearby space. Our artifacts range in scale from radiations and molecules to mountains and lakes. Yet never will we understand completely the spinoff effects of the environmental changes that we create, nor will we measure Our own,' independent influence in their creation. Consider the mysterious decline in the numbers of fur seals breeding on A.
Saturn: Roman God of Agriculture & CivilizationVapula
The worst mistake of the whole human story has been adopting agriculture. Moving to domestication. What that is, is extremely fundamental. It has all the implications and everything really flows from that in so many ways. That is the move from taking what is available in nature, what nature freely gives us, in general, to controlling nature. To making the earth work, to making humans work, to engineering nature at an ever greater level. This is the fundamental thing. And there is an inner logic that is unbroken as Paul Shepard has put it so well, the current step to nanotechnology, genetic engineering and all the rest of it is implicit in the first step. Once you adopt the logic of domestication, you get all the rest, all the way, complete control, surveillance society, it's all of the control things. It's the ethos of control from top to bottom unless it's interrupted, unless it's about de-domestication, about getting off this path. And it isn't just in terms of the physical environment. Agriculture is the triumph of estrangement and the definite divide between culture and nature and humans from each other. ―Zerzan
And was it not a result of agriculture and commerce, installed by the “neolithic revolution”, that the vermin kings and priests appeared? ―Vaneigem
Agriculture, the age we are still in, is at most 1% of the whole human story.
Agriculture is the only radical new technology that ever appeared in the world; what it amounts to is a cutting into the earth.
There is no doubt that this technology leads inevitably and fairly quickly to social hierarchies, separation, class structure, property, and religion as we understand it—a priest class that tells everybody else what to do and how to think. It leads, in other words, to authoritarianism and, ultimately, to the state itself.
Economy, money, all the misery of civilization, we owe to agriculture. Before that, you have two million years of hunting and gathering, the beautiful cave art, a world that looks suspiciously utopian, a golden age by comparison with a lot of the problems that agriculture brings about. In some sense, agriculture is fall from grace. ―Cybernetics & Entheogenics
If SATURN/KRONOS was the reason for agriculture & civilization (separation from paradise) we can observe how this FALL turns itself INSIDE OUT now: agriculture created wars and technology culminating in ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Saturn's incarnation on Earth that is used to automate everything including its own origin FARMING! Liberation from work.
Saturn as COMPUTER teaches people that life is a divine simulation. You are then God of your own world again without EGO.
The INTERNET transcends borders and unites mankind, creating a virtual heaven or hell. REMEMBER that Saturn teaches spiritual maturity through SUFFERING.
Other Saturn technologies will eventually right all wrongs that were intentionally created for the FALL like bad genes (aging etc.) turned on and good genes (regeneration) turned off.
The Worst Mistake In The History Of The Human Raceby Jared.docxchristalgrieg
"The Worst Mistake In The History Of The Human Race"
by Jared Diamond, Prof. UCLA School of Medicine
Discover-May 1987, pp. 64-66
To science we owe dramatic changes in our smug self-image. Astronomy taught
us that our Earth isn't the center of the universe but merely one of billions of heavenly
bodies. From biology we learned that we weren't specially created by God but evolved
along with millions of other species. Now archaeology is demolishing another sacred
belief: that human history over the past million years has been a long tale of progress. In
particular, recent discoveries suggest that the adoption of agriculture, supposedly our
most decisive step toward a better life, was in many ways a catastrophe from which we
have never recovered. With agriculture came the gross social and sexual inequality, the
disease and despotism,that curse our existence.
At first, the evidence against this revisionist interpretation will strike twentieth
century Americans as irrefutable. We're better off in almost every respect than people of
the Middle Ages who in turn had it easier than cavemen, who in turn were better off than
apes. Just count our advantages. We enjoy the most abundant and varied foods, the best
tools and material goods, some of the longest and healthiest lives, in history. Most of us
are safe from starvation and predators. We get our energy from oil and machines, not
from our sweat. What neo-Luddite among us would trade his life for that of a medieval
peasant, a caveman, or an ape?
For most of our history we supported ourselves by hunting and gathering: we
hunted wild animals and foraged for wild plants. It's a life that philosophers have
traditionally regarded as nasty, brutish, and short. Since no food is grown and little is
stored, there is (in this view) no respite from the struggle that starts anew each day to find
wild foods and avoid starving. Our escape from this misery was facilitated only 10,000
years ago, when in different parts of the world people began to domesticate plants and
animals. The agricultural revolution gradually spread until today it's nearly universal and
few tribes of hunter-gatherers survive.
From the progressivist perspective on which I was brought
up to ask "Why did almost all our hunter-gatherer ancestors adopt
agriculture?" is silly. Of course they adopted it because agriculture
is an efficient way to get more food for less work. Planted crops
yield far more tons per acre than roots and berries. Just imagine a
band of savages, exhausted from searching for nuts or chasing wild
animals, suddenly gazing for the first time at a fruit-laden orchard
or a pasture full of sheep. How many milliseconds do you think it
would take them to appreciate the advantages of agriculture?
The progressivist party line sometimes even goes so far as to
credit agriculture with the remarkable flowering of art that has taken
place over the past few thousand years. Since crops can be stored,
and since it takes less time to pick ...

This paper is written to question the wide spread belief among anthropologists that pre historic hunter gatherers knew about agriculture long before agriculture began to be practiced. The paper suggests gradually accumulating human knowledge led to the development of agriculture, rather than population pressure, favourable mutations or convenient climate all of which would have occurred at various times long before agriculture was developed without leading to the discovery of agriculture.
Our environment is constantly changing. There is no denying that. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, different types of weather patterns and much more, people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing.

Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Cahokia:Collapsing Inot Thin Air
1. Collapsing Into Thin Air A study into the downfall of civilizations, the causes and factors. By: Katherine Moore
2. Cahokia These are contributing factors for basically just the food resource component. When you base your diet off of one main food group (starch or carbohydrate), especially one main food as the Cahokians did, corn, you neglect to appropriately nourish your body , or provide enough food , and the right food to expand the population. Land is an issue, too. to continue to produce that crop, you need more land as the population grows. So if the civilization could thrive on just corn, there wouldn’t even be ample farming ground to produce enough of the crop. Even if a civilization was dependant on a fish species, they would have to make sure that a healthy, growing fish population was inhabiting their lakes and rivers to continue on their growth path.
