  The Evolution of Urban Planning...

  Urban planning is the process by which cities, towns, and other urban spaces are designed, organized, and managed. It is a field that encompasses various aspects of human life, from infrastructure to social dynamics, and aims to create environments that promote the well-being of residents and the sustainability of the urban ecosystem. The importance of urban planning lies in its ability to shape the physical, social, and economic structure of a community. It influences the way people interact with their environment and with each other, determining the accessibility of resources, the flow of traffic, and the availability of green spaces, among other factors. 
  The evolution of urban planning can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where early cities were often designed around central hubs of commerce, religion, or governance. In these early stages, urban planning was driven by necessity, focusing primarily on basic functions like defense, water management, and trade. Over time, as cities grew and became more complex, the need for more organized and systematic approaches to urban development emerged. This shift was marked by the introduction of formal planning principles that considered not only the practical aspects of urban life but also the aesthetic, cultural, and social needs of the inhabitants. 
  In the modern era, urban planning became an established profession, with experts tasked with the responsibility of designing and managing urban spaces to meet the growing demands of an increasingly urbanized population. The industrial revolution, for example, brought about massive shifts in population density and the structure of cities. It prompted the creation of zoning laws, housing regulations, and other planning policies that addressed new challenges such as pollution, overcrowding, and public health. These developments laid the groundwork for the more sophisticated planning techniques used in contemporary cities.

  Ecofarmer's Discovery An - How...

  As more farmers move to a regenerative approach to their farming practices, many turn to Ewan who has been farming this way for decades, providing practical answers for practical farmers through growing the greatest soil on earth. 
  Ewan, faced with a failing farm and 'empty pockets', realised that doing things the way they had always been done was what had gotten him to the point of 'farming off the cliff slowly'. Asking the question 'What is soil?' he embarked on a journey of research and trials resulting in a deep understanding of the delicate interaction of the soil, biology, nutrient, plant and ultimately health of the animal and ourselves. 
  Through observation of phenomena, study of concepts and testing Ewan finds solutions to problems that are facing farmers today - always a beneficial outcome. 'Study books and observe nature; if they do not agree, throw away the books' (Albrecht). 
  This book chronicles the pursuit of knowledge and excellence in farming - everything is connected to the soil. If the soil is failing then so is the produce and profitability. In this world of clean and green, Ewan is able to bring back the natural nitrogen cycle in the plant (nitrogen doesn't need to be from a bag) whilst growing and measuring deep carbon levels, beneficial to the water cycle as well. Nature will repair itself and this book will explain how. 
  With the patent for 'Probitas' - a product that amplifies the natural electrical potential of the earth and with his extensive knowledge of soil silicas and free aluminium, Ewan is a force that Big Ag tried to eliminate. 
  Farmers are increasingly looking to heal their land, maintain healthy and productive animals and revitalise and regenerate their farming life and enthusiasm. 
  Ewan puts complex concepts through the 'simplifier' to allow anyone to understand, linking soil-plant-animal-human health. He is often told that nobody else has their feet in the farm like he does.

  Tech Giants - The Companies...

  In just a few decades, a handful of tech companies have grown from humble beginnings into the most powerful corporations in the world. These tech giants—such as Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta—didn’t just ride the wave of technological advancement; they created it. Their influence now extends far beyond the digital world, reshaping industries, economies, and even the way we live our everyday lives. 
  The journey began in garages and dorm rooms, where innovative minds dreamed big. Apple started in a California garage, Google in a Stanford dorm, and Amazon as an online bookstore. What these companies shared was a willingness to challenge existing norms and reimagine how technology could serve people. Their founders—visionaries like Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg—helped pioneer bold ideas and new ways of thinking that forever changed the tech landscape.  
  Key moments in tech history marked pivotal shifts. The launch of the iPhone in 2007 revolutionized the way we interact with technology, putting the power of computing into our pockets. Google’s search engine transformed the internet into an organized, navigable space. Amazon redefined convenience with fast, efficient online shopping and then changed the game again with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leader in cloud computing. Microsoft, once synonymous with desktop computing, adapted to lead in software, enterprise services, and gaming. Meta, originally Facebook, reshaped how we connect and share online.
