Smartcultures provide a set novel of regenerative technologies that mimic nature to provide enhanced foundation (soil structure) and nutrients for crops. Plants thrive in amended soils; they grow faster, stronger and reverse nutrition dilution, empty calories, with more nutrition per bite. Regenerated soils enhance color, taste, texture and yields. Algae biofertilizers carry bioavailable nutrients that may be delivered in precise amounts at specific times during each crop's growing cycle. Smartcultures support sustainable crop production by cultivating nature's nanotechnology - algae and microbial communities - to build soils, feed crops and reduce pollution and erosion. Growers use the natural power of microflora in place of synthetic agricultural chemicals and are rewarded with superior nutrition in their produce and regenerated soil. Growers use 360 microfarms near their fields to cultivate microorganisms such as algae, which they grow and flow to feed their crops. Growers transform a cost, their waste stream, to a profit center while reducing ecological pollution up to 90%. Microfarmers practice abundant agriculture as they produce nutrient-rich food, feed, fertilizer and other forms of energy using primarily plentiful, non-fossil resources that are free or surplus and will not run out - sunshine, CO2 and wastewater.

Abundant agriculture can transform modern extractive agriculture from an unhealthy, food insecure and expensive proposition to a healthy, sustainable and affordable food and energy, (SAFE) production system based on abundant inputs; available and affordable to everyone. Abundant agriculture exploits the green solar energy in algae to permit farmers to recover, recycle and reuse the energy and nutrients from farm waste streams. Farmers are able to transform a cost - waste management - to a profit center. Abundance significantly improves yields and crop quality while reducing costs, consumption of fossil resources and environmental pollution. Abundance offers an alternative food production method that uses no or minimal fossil resources consumed by industrial agriculture. Farmers who practice abundance use 360 microfarms on their existing farms as they produce food and other forms of energy using only plentiful resources that are free or surplus and will not run out - sunshine, CO2 and wastewater. Abundance farmers close the loop as they recover, recycle and reuse energy and nutrients from farm waste streams. Abundance enables sustainable and affordable food and energy (SAFE) production. Diffusing abundance methods globally will enable hungry people to produce sustainable and affordable food and energy for the needs of their family and community locally.

Cultural heritage is of key social, economic and democratic importance for communities and economies across European regions. In recent years, how it is co-created, shared and accessed is fundamentally changing due to the pervasiveness of digital technology and, unrelated to that, the more and more pressing need for the sector to explore new business models in the light of reduced public funding. This volume brings together the scientific contributions that have emerged from a European funded project to explore the innovative concept of this SmartCulture economy. The result is a portrait of a digital cultural heritage sector as a novel grouping of sectors that stretch from the cultural industries and heritage and digital technology."

This three-volume set is a landmark comprehensive overview of the business of sustainability, providing 56 separate chapters from leaders in business, non-profit organizations, and from within the academic and policy world. In today's business environment, "garbage" isn't simply worthless refuse to be disposed of anymore; it often represents a material with monetary value. The human population is using up about 30 percent more natural resources in one year than the earth can regenerate. Because businesses constitute half of the world's largest economies, there can be no sustainability without sustainable businesses. The Business of Sustainability: Trends, Policies, Practices, and Stories of Success is a foundation set that effectively captures and articulates the why, what, who, and how of sustainability and business. Volume I covers the scientific, economic, and social underpinnings of sustainability and identifies the challenges facing business leaders. Volume II explores the global network of designers, producers, suppliers, distributors, and consumers that must be addressed as a unit from a cradle-to-cradle, life-cycle perspective. Volume III presents examples of success across many industries, demonstrating that sustainability is indeed possible. Each volume analytically addresses the larger issues, such as the challenges of managing a business to the standards of sustainability, measuring progress or success, and creating—and maintaining—sustainable businesses. This monumental work provides a comprehensive treatment of sustainability in the world of businesses, exploring all of its dimensions: obstacles, metrics, opportunities, and pathways to success.

This book explores the ways in which information and communication technologies (ICTs) offer a powerful tool for the development of smart tourism. Numerous examples are presented from across the entire spectrum of cultural and heritage tourism, including art, innovations in museum interpretation and collections management, cross-cultural visions, gastronomy, film tourism, dark tourism, sports tourism, and wine tourism. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the smart destinations concept and a knowledge economy driven by innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship. New modes of tourism management are described, and tourism products, services, and strategies for the stimulation of economic innovation and promotion of knowledge transfer are outlined. The potential of diverse emerging ICTs in this context is clearly explained, covering location-based services, internet of things, smart cities, mobile services, gamification, digital collections and the virtual visitor, social media, social networking, and augmented reality. The book is edited in collaboration with the International Association of Cultural and Digital Tourism (IACuDiT) and includes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Cultural and Digital Tourism.

New technological innovations have given birth to paradigms such as robotization, increased and advanced mechanization, and dehumanization of public diplomacy around the world. Other related developments have been the acceleration and growing popularization of the smart city concept as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, which have all combined to compel almost all major industries—including diplomacy—to shift online and to be revolutionized. The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Digitalization of Diplomacy explores the influences of the new ICTs, AI, and smart cultures on the conduct of public diplomacy. It further examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the conduct of digital diplomacy in the world and analyzes the implications of the dynamics of ICTs and AI for teaching and research in digital diplomacy. Covering topics such as defense diplomacy, the fourth industrial revolution, and technological determinism, this premier reference source is an essential resource for diplomats, politicians, government officials, ICT developers, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

When you understand how the mind works, you can think smarter—and act smarter. Based on the precepts of cognitive science and drawing on a half century of interdisciplinary studies, Smart Thinking is the first book to reveal a three-part formula that distinguishes Smart Thinking from innate intelligence and shows how memory works, how to learn effectively, and how to use knowledge when you need to get things done. Beginning with defining the difference between Smart Thinking and innate or raw intelligence, cognitive psychologist Art Markman demonstrates how it is possible to learn Smart Thinking that you can apply to the real world. This engaging and practical book introduces a three-part formula for Smart Thinking, which demonstrates how anyone can: • Develop Smart Habits • Acquire High-Quality Knowledge • Use High-Quality Knowledge when needed Smart Thinking explores each part of the Smart Thinking formula and provides: • An understanding of how the mind works and the means to replace self-limiting habits with those that foster Smart Thinking • Insights into how memory functions and how to improve the quality of what you learn • Ways to present new information effectively • Specific techniques for improving your understanding of how the world works • The ability to define and solve problems by finding the relevant knowledge from any area of expertise and applying it effectively Drawing on multiple research disciplines, including psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy, neuroscience, learning sciences, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and education, Markman provides insights into the functioning of the mind and synthesizes this understanding into practical tools and exercises that develop new skills and achieve personal goals. The book culminates in tips for creating a Culture of Smart to make everyone in an organization more effective.

Ancestral is about searching or researching to find comparable history links. Slavery was about buying and selling versus being indentured, and there were differences in trends by legislated regulations. I find both topics fascinating. Its about kinship groupsnothing to do with ancestral. Indentured labor has its relevance here in Canada, Lord Selkirk Settlement. This is dedicated as my fifty-second-year contribution as a Canadian citizen in my new homeland.

Why successful leaders must embrace simple strategies in an increasingly uncertain and complex world. Making decisions is one of the key tasks of managers, leaders, and professionals. In Smart Management, Jochen Reb, Shenghua Luan, and Gerd Gigerenzer demonstrate how business leaders can utilize heuristics—simple decision-making strategies adapted to the task at hand. In a world that has become increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA), the authors make the case against complex analytical methods that quickly reach their limits. This against-the-grain approach leads to decisions that are not only faster but also more accurate, transparent, and easier to learn about, communicate, and teach. Smart Management offers an evidence-based yet practical discussion of how business leaders can use smart heuristics to make good decisions in a VUCA world. Building on the fast-and-frugal heuristics program, Smart Management demonstrates the efficacy of heuristic decision making in a twofold approach. First, it introduces the concept of ecological rationality, which prescribes the environmental conditions under which specific heuristics work well. Second, the book describes a repertoire of heuristics, referred to as the adaptive toolbox, that leaders, managers, and professionals can develop and rely on to make a variety of decisions, such as on business strategy, negotiation, and personnel selection. The toolbox not only showcases the practical usefulness of these heuristics but also inspires readers to discover and develop their own smart heuristics.
