Allan Savory: How to Green the World's Deserts and Reverse Climate Change (TED video) - http://permaculturenews.org/2013...
Private Sanjeev, ʎəlɹoɯ uəʞ, Greg GuitarBuster and 4 other people liked this
"“Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert,” begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it’s happening to about two-thirds of the world’s grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes — and his work so far shows — that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert."
- Todd Hoff
from Bookmarklet
Desertification is occurring across the world. It happens when we create too much bare ground. Desertification is when a land does not hold water so it turns arid. He had 40K elephants killed with the thought that a lack of grazing elephants would restore the land. It did not. In the US areas without grazing cows for 70 years are still becoming deserts, due to "unknown processes." We've...

- Todd Hoff
What we failed to understand is that the soil and the vegetation developed with large numbers of grazing animals. They developed with ferocious pack hunting animals, which caused them to form large herds which caused a lot of peeing and pooing over their own food. So they had to keep moving. This prevented to over grazing of plants. Periodic trampling caused coverage of the soil.
- Todd Hoff
If the tall grasses that grow during the spring and summer do not decay biologically it shifts to oxidation which is a slow process that smothers and kills grasses which shifts to a woody vegetation which leads to bare soils releasing carbon. Traditionally fire is used to cleanup the brush. Which also leads to bare soil and release carbon and pollutants. In Africa 1 billion hectares of grassland a year are burned.
- Todd Hoff
So if we reduce the animals we get deserts. If we burn we get deserts and pollution. The solution is to use livestock. Bunched and moving they are a proxy for former herds and predators and mimic nature. The result is the grass covers the soil, dung and pee mix with the leftover grasses to form a mulch, and the mulch protects the soil and holds the rain, which stores carbon and breaks down methane. No fire is needed to damage the soil.
- Todd Hoff
I'm really surprised he doesn't seem to know about the role of composting roots as fertility builders. The great plains were not made fertile by defecating buffalo, but the buffalo would eat the grass, which would kill off the extensive root systems, which decompose and build the soil. This process would repeat endlessly driven by solar energy to grow the grass and the root systems, the buffalo would migrate and eat the grass, release the fertility back to the soil, and the process repeats.
- Todd Hoff
Note in the modern era with factory farming we bring in subsidized corn inputs to feed cattle, injecting them with drugs, instead of letting the graze freely over the grasslands while creating better and better soil. There's a management technique called holistic pasture management that reverses this evil trend and gets back to exactly what he's talking about here. It reduces input costs, and can be done without hormones or toxic meat factories.
- Todd Hoff
Modern range science accelerated desertification. Oh, he talks about holistic management, seems like he may have invented it. Whoops. Plan grazing to mimic nature. Use cattle to prepare crop fields. Geoff Lawton and sepp holzer talk a lot about this.
- Todd Hoff
Awesome example of two ecosystems. One is dead and dry, the ground and bare, her people on permanent relief. The other is verdant, the rain is captured and kept on the soil, rivers can form, and they have little fear of dry years. Beautiful. They did that by increasing cattle and goats by 400%. Planning the grazing to mimic nature and integrate with the all the other animals that they...

In environments where humidity exists throughout the year it's almost impossible to make deserts. Nature covers it up so quickly. We have other environments where months of humidity are followed by months of dryness. This is where desserts occur. 2/3rds of the earth is desertifying. The good news is these areas get enough water, but that water is not being held on the land. It evaporates away when the soil left uncovered.
- Todd Hoff
When we damage soils carbon is released back to the atmosphere. Grass lands that look healthy from a far are turning into deserts because the grown is really bare and covered with a crust of algae which leads to water runoff and desertification.

We have a LOT of work to do if we're going to rehab our landscapes enough to perform that kind of work.

During this time I was doing a little retro gaming and found myself wondering what it was like to develop games in those days and the stories they'd have.

Financial Lessons From "It's A Wonderful Life" - http://www.wisebread.com/financi...
Thomas Page liked this
You may have seen the classic film “It’s A Wonderful Life” that is often played over the holidays. Set on Christmas Eve in the 1940s, the story is told through a series of flashbacks, an alternate reality of what the world would look like if main character George Bailey had never been born, and, finally, a happy resolution in the present day. Described as a reverse “A Christmas Carol” with George’s nemesis Mr. Henry F. Potter playing a Scrooge-like role, the movie has many financial lessons that are relevant today. (See also: 21 Personal Finance Lessons From Harry Potter) Financial Crises Can Cause Tremendous Stress George Bailey went berserk and contemplated suicide in a financial crisis. As the top executive of a local financial institution, Bailey Bros. Building and Loan Association, he was responsible for regulatory compliance. But when his Uncle Billy, a key employee, lost an $8,000 bank deposit on Christmas Eve (which coincided with a visit from the bank examiner), he faced...

"Religious people seem to have higher willpower, on average, than nonreligious people. This causes them to live longer (again, on average) because they are more likely to go to the doctor or eat well, less likely to smoke and drink, and so on. The ego-depleting nature of prayer, meditation, fasting, etc. might contribute to why the religious often have more willpower."
- Amit Patel
"Consuming glucose restores willpower. When people in a depleted state are asked whether they’d rather have $100 now or $150 in one month, most select $100. Drinking a soft drink before they make a selection makes more of them choose $150 (the rational choice)."

How to swing the prediction markets and boost Mitt Romney’s fortunes - http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...
Greg GuitarBuster, Thomas Page and Stephen Mack #TeamMomo liked this
"The betting markets can sometimes be swung — at least temporarily — by single traders who post extraordinarily large trades. That appears to have happened Tuesday morning, when a single investor spent about $17,800 on Intrade and boosted Mitt Romney’s fortunes considerably. For about six minutes. Here’s the backstory: On Monday night, after the debate, Barack Obama was leading Romney on Intrade by around 60 percent to 40 percent. But at around 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning, Romney had surged to 48 percent. Was this evidence that the conventional wisdom was wrong? Had Romney actually won the debate handily? Or, perhaps, was the nosedive in the stock markets putting a dent in Obama’s re-election chances? Neither. As economist Justin Wolfers pointed out on Twitter, the huge swing toward Romney appears to have been driven by a single trader who spent about $17,800 pushing Romney’s chances on Intrade up to 48 percent. But the surge only lasted about six minutes before other traders whittled the price back down to what they saw as a more accurate valuation."

"Alex Tabarrok, a major proponent of prediction markets, offered this take at the time: “This supports Robin Hanson’s and Ryan Oprea’s finding that manipulation can improve prediction markets — the reason is that manipulation offers informed investors a free lunch … The more manipulation, therefore, the greater the expected profit from betting according to rational expectations.” So...

Shows how small the participating audience is there if a mere $17.8k can cause that large a swing.

"Bailey represented an agrarianism that stood in the tradition of Thomas Jefferson. He had a vision of suffusing all higher education, including horticulture, with a spirit of public work and integrating "expert knowledge" into a broader context of democratic community action.[8] As a leader of the Country Life Movement, he strived to preserve the American rural civilization, which he thought was a vital and wholesome alternative to the impersonal and corrupting city life. In contrast to other progressive thinkers at the time, he endorsed the family, which, he recognized, played a unique role in socialization. Especially the family farm had a benign influence as a natural cooperative unit where everybody had real duties and responsibilities. The independence it fostered made farmers "a natural correction against organization men, habitual reformers, and extremists". It was necessary to uphold fertility in order to maintain the welfare of future generations.[9] According to Bailey, the...

"Bailey is credited with being instrumental in starting agricultural extension services, the 4-H movement, the nature study movement, parcel post and rural electrification. He was considered the father of rural sociology and rural journalism." Holy crap, that's huge!

I picked up a copy of his "The Pruning Book" at a garage sale last Friday and that's what had me looking him up. Though I imagine most if not all of his stuff is in the public domain now, there seem to be "publishers" on Amazon trying to make money off it. And I don't see that much of it around Archive, Google Books or others.

Electrons lack the warmth of bound volumes. Several works are at Project Gutenburg. I found the Amazon links from the Bailey Museum website.

Using Google to search Friendfeed, is seriously inferior.

How do I ... +1 April's comment?

Yesterday I was looking for a link I know I shared here, facebook, and on the DonationCoder forum. Search was down here, Google failed to find it here or on the web, facebook search has always been a joke, DonationCoder search, powered by ZillaRank, won. It's a sad day when an amateur modification to the world's worst forum search (SMF) can kick the asses of both Google and Friendfeed.
