These dimensions coexist, each with its own unique worlds, civilizations, and wonders. But what lies beyond the veil of our own perception? What secrets and perils await in the uncharted realms of the multiverse? In this tale, we delve into a universe where the boundaries between dimensions are not fixed, where rifts appear and threaten to merge worlds, unleashing chaos and annihilation. To combat this imminent danger, a top-secret organization known as The Nexus Initiative has emerged from the shadows. Composed of a diverse group of operatives with extraordinary abilities, The Nexus Initiative's mission is to maintain balance and prevent interdimensional catastrophes. As the story unfolds, we follow the journey of Zara, a skilled and resourceful agent who is thrust into the heart of this grand interdimensional adventure. Alongside a team of extraordinary individuals, each possessing unique talents, Zara must navigate treacherous realms, unravel hidden conspiracies, and confront ancient entities that seek to reshape reality itself. But it is not just the fate of one dimension that hangs in the balance. The actions of Zara and her team will determine the survival of countless worlds, as the ripple effects of their choices reverberate through the multiverse. With time running out and the threat of an impending cataclysm growing, they must race against the clock to close the rifts, harness the power of ancient artifacts, and confront the malevolent forces that seek to plunge the multiverse into eternal darkness. In a universe where dimensions collide and the very fabric of reality is at stake, The Nexus Initiative becomes the last line of defense. As they face insurmountable odds, forge unbreakable alliances, and embrace their own hidden potentials, they epitomize the indomitable spirit of heroism and sacrifice in the face of unimaginable peril. "The Nexus Initiative" is an epic tale of adventure, interdimensional intrigue, and the enduring power of unity. Join us as we journey through the realms of the multiverse, where dimensions intertwine, heroes rise, and the fate of existence itself hangs in the balance.

Book excerpt: Stop Networking: Networking is broken. Too many people view it as a form of taking. They want your business. They want your referrals. They want your advice. With everyone trying to get something from you, how are you ever supposed to receive the things you need to grow? You can't. That's why you need a new system. That's why you need a neXus. Start Giving: It's no secret. No great leader succeeds without the help of close supporters and advisors. But what great leaders know (that isn't so obvious) is that you get there by giving. Industrial Psychologist Brent Henley illustrates how easy it is to create and sustain a neXus and why you must make it part of your long-term growth strategy. By creating a structured, invested group of people who shift their focus from taking to giving, a profitable chain reaction occurs. New clients call. New opportunities emerge. To others, you seem to effortlessly grow your business, reach your goals and expand your possibilities for success. It's your neXus.

Book excerpt: A radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist Paul Hawken, creator of the New York Times bestseller Drawdown Regeneration offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. Regeneration describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything. Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. Regeneration is the inspiring and necessary guide to inform the rapidly spreading climate movement.

Book excerpt: The 2019 Ghana Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) follows IFPRI's Standard Nexus SAM approach, by focusing on consistency, comparability, and transparency of data. The Nexus SAMs available on IFPRI's website separates domestic production into 42 activities. Factors are disaggregated into labor, agricultural land, and capital, with labor further disaggregated across three education-based categories. The household account is divided into 10 representative household groups: Rural and urban households across per capita consumption quintiles. Nexus SAMs support the improvement of model-based research and policy analysis in developing countries and allow for more robust cross-country comparisons of national economic structures, especially agriculture-food systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is intricately linked with food security, energy security, and sustainable development. As the world is moving towards sustainable development goals, it is critical to recognize the role of water in attaining these goals. The Water-Energy-Food Nexus draws attention to the complex and interrelated nature of global resource systems and forces us to think about how a decision in one sector impacts other interlinked sectors as well. This book looks at the three dimensions of sustainable developmentenvironment, economics and society – and how water is linked with them and explores the nexus approach as a framework to look at the issues and identify solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critically analysing methodologies and objectives of capacity building and the practical linkages required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, this book looks at whether nexus thinking offers a systematic approach to combat global environmental problems and facilitate enhanced sustainable development. Building effective and sustainable mechanisms to tackle environmental problems requires in-depth understanding of relationships between natural resources, going beyond conventional policy and siloed decision making. The water energy food nexus has been promoted as a conceptual framework and management tool to facilitate integrated planning and practical linkages to support sustainable development. The author opens this book with an overview of capacity building and reviews the significance of the water energy food nexus, bringing in links to the 2030 Agenda. Climate change is highlighted as a key consideration in any conversation about natural resource use and case studies from Japan, India and China are utilised to show that whist long-term sustainable development practices are being implemented the environmental challenges across the region raise concerns about institutional capacity, economic sustainability and future of the region. Finally, through the lens of capacity building, the book suggests that whilst the water energy food nexus may provide a new approach to sustainable development, it will not be enough to achieve long-term sustainability or extend to the lives of those most affected. The book will be interest to scholars and students within the water, energy and agriculture sectors, sustainability governance and sustainable development. It will also be a valuable resource to those working in governmental organisations and NGOs involved in capacity building and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the need for a more open and interdisciplinary dialogue on the nexus of food, water and energy security in the Arab region. It argues that achieving sustainable economic development is irretrievably tied to the security of the water–energy–food nexus, which is in turn essential for bringing about sustained peace. Further, it discusses various approaches to achieving these lofty objectives, and offers the following take-away messages: The Arab region is currently under considerable water stress, and the situation will continue to get worse with a number of global changes – most notably those related to climate and regional water distribution. Viable solutions are available in the Arab region and can be implemented through innovative policies, judicious use of new technologies, and stimulating public opinion. Integration across water, energy, and food sectors is obviously needed but achieving it in practice is extremely challenging. There are some gaps in the scientific understanding but at the same time there is a wealth of data and synthesized information that can guide decision-making.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This Synthesis publication covers lessons on interlinkages, trade-offs and benefits in managing water, energy and land/agriculture, as well as on protecting the environment derived from several transboundary river basins in Southern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia, and one aquifer system in North Africa. These lessons are the result of the collective experience of Parties to the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention) and other States, joint bodies for transboundary cooperation, and other stakeholders who participated in carrying out these assessments from 2013 to 2018. This publication also consolidates the methodology which was developed under the Water Convention specifically for the purpose of assessing nexus issues and identifying solutions in transboundary basins. Its development involved a broad range of expertise, gradual refinement upon use, and an intergovernmental review process. The publication was developed in response to a decision by the Meeting of the Parties in 2015 to promote the application of the methodology in other basins worldwide through the sharing of experiences. The publication also aims to foster follow-up action to the nexus assessments. A key dimension of the methodology is the facilitation of multistakeholder dialogues, which convene sector Ministries from riparian countries with often diverging interests in developing and benefitting from a river basin ̶ be it for irrigated agriculture, eco-tourism or energy generation. With the nexus approach, trade-offs and impacts but also mutual interests are identified. This step is subsequently followed by determining jointly with the authorities and stakeholders packages of policy and technical measures to address the problems identified. This intersectoral transboundary dialogue is coupled with a structured analysis, considering technical aspects and governance across sectors. With this composition, the participatory assessment of the nexus applying the methodology provides a better basis from which to address the common challenges of coherence between sectoral policies (as well as between environment and climate policies) and integrated planning. Related shortcomings result in negative impacts causing friction between riparian countries, inefficiencies at different levels, and missed opportunities for more sustainable and cooperative development. The international community explicitly calls for a nexus approach in efforts to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The assessment process can assist countries seeking to initiate, broaden or revisit transboundary cooperation. Furthermore, the resulting insights can also help reinforce national efforts to optimize resource use (e.g. through improved efficiency), improve policy coherence and achieve co-management benefits. The main audiences for this publication are authorities involved in natural resources management, regional organizations and cooperation organizations, international organizations, bilateral development partners, and technical experts."--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borders are critical to the development and survival of modern states, offer security against external threats, and mark public policy and identity difference. At the same time, borders, and borderlands, are places where people, ideas, and economic goods meet and intermingle. The United States-Canada border demonstrates all of the characteristics of modern borders, and epitomises the debates that surround them. This book examines the development of the US-Canada border, provides a detailed analysis of its current operation, and concludes with an evaluation of the border’s future. The central objective is to examine how the border functions in practice, presenting a series of case studies on its operation. This book will be of interest to scholars of North American integration and border studies, and to policy practitioners, who will be particularly interested in the case studies and what they say about the impact of border reform.

Book excerpt: Whether through speech, writing, or other methods, language and communication has been an essential tool for human cooperation and development. Across the world, language varies drastically based on culture and disposition. Even in areas in which the language is standardized, it is common to have many varieties of dialects. It is essential to understand applied linguistics and language practices to create equitable spaces for all dialects and languages. The Research Anthology on Applied Linguistics and Language Practices discusses in-depth the current global research on linguistics from the development of language to the practices in language acquisition. It further discusses the social factors behind language and dialect as well as cultural identity found behind unique traits in language and dialect. Covering topics such as linguistic equity, phonology, and sociolinguistics, this major reference work is an indispensable resource for linguists, pre-service teachers, libraries, students and educators of higher education, educational administration, ESL organizations, government officials, researchers, and academicians.
