"Over the years, Dorothy wore a favorite T-shirt that read: "The death of
the forest is the end of our lives." She knew first hand what the
destruction of the Amazon meant, not only for Brazil but for the planet. In
1991, she took a sabbatical program in Oakland, California to study
creation spirituality with Matthew Fox (and lived around the corner from
me. ) Afterwards, she attended the historic 1992 first Earth Summit in Rio
de Janeiro. A few weeks later, she wrote her family, "Tell all that we must
make great efforts to save our planet. Mother Earth is not able to provide
anymore. Her water and air are poisoned and her soil is dying of
exaggerated use of chemicals, all in the name of profit. Pray for all of us
and for a world where all can live -- plants, animals and humans -- in
peace and harmony." In 2002, the death threats intensified. The mayor of
the nearby town said, "We have to get rid of that woman if we are going to
have peace." A list circulated of people with "bounties" on their heads.
Atop the list was her name -- Stang, $20,000."

Introducing the Open Building Institute: a Q&A with Marcin Jakubowski

by Cat Johnson

The Open Building Institute is an open source effort to make affordable
housing widely available while fostering collaborative and ecological
practices. The project is focused on low cost and rapidly-built structures
that are modular, ecological, and energy efficient. At the heart of OBI is
a library of building modules, including walls, windows, doors, roof,
utility and functional modules and more that can be combined to create a
variety of structures, including studios, homes, multi-family houses,
greenhouses, barns, workshops, schools, and offices.

I spoke with founding partner Marcin Jakubowski about the importance of
open source design to address pressing global issues, why modular building
is an exciting alternative to traditional building methods, and how an
empowered community of people that draw from, and contribute to, the
library can help provide low-cost housing solutions anywhere.

* Cat Johnson: How did the Open Building Institute (OBI) come about? What
need does it fill that is not available elsewhere?*

Marcin Jakubowski: Catarina Mota and I got married in 2013 and she moved
from Brooklyn, New York to the middle of nowhere, Missouri. She realized
that the house we had was simply too small. We called some contractors, but
found out that what we wanted didn?t exist yet. Catarina needed a
comfortable house that didn?t cost a million dollars, that could be built
quickly from local materials, and that could be expanded as we grow.

There was only one option: we had to build it ourselves. So we did just
that. We examined the best practices then took our open source high power
brick press and, through much trial and error, developed a formula for
rapid builds. With rapid builds, a big group of people builds a large
number of modules in parallel and then assembles them rapidly into a
building. We realized that, using these techniques, we could build an 800
square foot structure from scratch in just five days. So we decided to take
it to the next level.

For a few years now we?ve been developing an open source toolkit that can
make building a house easier, faster, and cheaper. We started a library of
modules that can be put together like building blocks. We?re developing
instructionals, including software and many other tools to enable anyone to
design and build using this open source system. Moreover, we?re creating a
training program for our system so, if you want, you can hire an OBI
builder anywhere in the world.

We have decided to build a solar-powered, replicable Materials Production
Facility so you can use local materials wherever you are. Focusing on
integrated, regenerative design, we are pursuing Living Building Challenge
certification, which is the highest standard for regenerative construction.
We are also developing a social model of production, where
apprentices-in-training build the houses during immersion training
workshops. Our combination of rapid build time, low cost, regenerative
features, user-generated design, and feasibility of both social production
or commercial build models are not found in any other house offering. Our
value proposition revolves around democratizing construction.


* The Institute offers a library of building modules, including walls,
windows, doors, roof, and utilities, that can be combined to create homes,
barns, greenhouses, studios and more. Why does open, low-cost, modular
building make sense? *
Modular, open source housing makes sense because you can design and modify
it yourself for your specific needs?or you can use existing designs. Open
design means that you have full access to use, distribute, modify, or sell
the product, free of charge. Low cost makes sense for access, such as when
modular housing can be built in an incremental fashion. Our standard model
costs under $25k for materials for a 700 square foot, expandable Starter
Home. But you can build a structure of any size, larger or smaller.

Rather than getting in debt with the average $360,000 dollar new house, you
can start with a smaller home for 1/10 of the cost and then expand it as
needed. You have the ability to choose standard or innovative features, as
your budget allows. Because we are developing design guides and we provide
the module libraries, you can become your own house designer. The point of
modular design is that you have access to design assets that have already
been worked out or engineered in detail by others so you are able to create
house designs that are not only fanciful, but also buildable in real life.
If you contribute your designs or improvements back to the common pool
under a share-alike license, which is a requirement of using the OBI
library, then access to quality designs increases with time. The whole
ecosystem grows in value and service to humanity.

*Designs and build instructions are contributed by designers around the
world. What type of designs are found in the library and why is the
collaborative and distributed approach important?*

We have seeded a library, which has sufficient modules to design a house.
But our scope of usage in many contexts and locations is so broad that only
a collaborative and distributed approach can achieve it. Many designers,
many perspective and experiences are needed to pull it off. This could not
be done with a centralized approach.

The library, at this point, contains around 20 structure and utility
modules that we have built and tested over the last three years. The scope
of the library includes materials, build processes, structural and utility
modules, and entire house designs. *10 AM CST, Wednesday June 29, 2016*
marks the official launch of OBI, with the Kickstarter campaign. We will
start accepting contributions to the library from the general public upon
successful funding of the Kickstarter campaign. As people contribute and
the library grows ? the more valuable the system becomes.

*The modules and procedures are open source?forever and with no exceptions,
so that everyone is free to use, modify and redistribute them. How do you
see the open source movement intersecting with the affordable, ecological
housing movement?*

Open source also means that you can learn more about building and get
actively involved, as opposed to leaving it to others and accepting their
choices without fully understanding them. This is important, since
involved, knowledgeable, proactive citizens are the only thing that can
change the world.

Open source means that the competitive waste is zero and innovation is
unleashed. We are pursuing the extreme limit of both ecology and cost, as
exemplified in our goal of attaining Living Building Challenge compliance
while remaining affordable. We believe that only if the design is open
source can it become affordable as otherwise you are paying for expensive
expertise.

* There?s a focus on empowering non-professional builders with modules that
can be easily and quickly built. Why is this important? Who do you see
utilizing the library and Institute?*

Empowering non-professionals to build increases access to housing
significantly as more people will have the ability to build and to do so at
lower cost. In the global context, this is especially relevant with the
tide of urbanization. According to world-renowned architect Alejandro
Aravena, ?by 2030, out of the five billion people that will be living in
cities, two billion are going to be under the line of poverty. That means
that we will have to build a one million-person city per week with 10,000
dollars per family during the next 15 years.?

Arevena believes that this equation can be solved by incremental
housing?only if we ?channel people?s own building capacity.? We envision
that DIY builders and startup entrepreneurs will be our early adopters and
we believe that some of our designs will be adopted by mainstream builders
once the open source cost-to-performance advantage becomes clear.


*Who contributed designs and are the designs tested or approved? *
The current designs have been produced by Catarina Mota, project founder,
and successful Kickstarter funding marks the opening of public
contributions. Our goal is to have both the modules, materials, and house
designs fully certified, with calculations and engineering approval as
needed.

We will provide test data for building materials that we release from third
party testing labs. We will provide support in navigating building codes,
and we will crowdsource location-based information on standards and
requirements for locations around the world. We will encourage voluntary
contributions of not only on module designs, but also on materials testing,
product certification, code compliance, and engineering calculations. We
will document testing protocols, and use open source design/calculation
software throughout, so that our products have an extra layer of
transparency.

* The mission for the Open Building Institute is to make affordable,
ecological housing accessible to everyone. What is the big picture vision
for it? If everything goes really well, what would you most like to see?*

The average American pays $1.2M over their lifetime just to secure their
home. And 1.6 billion people on earth live without adequate housing.
Housing is not a privilege, it?s a basic need. We envision a world where
everyone has access to housing?and without getting into debt. We envision a
future where regenerative housing helps to heal the environment by
providing surplus food, energy, and fuel to its its inhabitants. We
envision a world where housing contributes to, rather than detracts from,
the natural ecology of a place.

WATCH: Raindrops Catapult Bacteria Into The Air, And It's Beautiful

March 7, 201712:14 PM ET

Rae Ellen Bichell <http://www.npr.org/people/488507788/rae-bichell>

When you step outside after a big rainstorm and take a deep whiff of that
fresh, earthy smell, you're mostly smelling a chemical called geosmin.

It's a byproduct of bacteria and fungi. And something about rain lofts
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3013058/> the chemical ? and
sometimes the organisms themselves ? into the air, a process that not only
helps release that earthy smell but may, in very rare conditions, spread
diseases.

Somehow raindrops launch tiny living things off the ground.

Wind can pick bacteria up from the ground and bring into the sky,
sometimes settling
in clouds
<http://www.npr.org/2013/01/29/170459317/bird-plane-bacteria-microbes-thrive-in-storm-clouds>
thousands of feet above us. Sea spray can also send
<http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmicb.2014.00557/full>
bacteria flying. The mystery has been, how does rain do it?

Now, mechanical engineers writing
<http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/NCOMMS14668> Wednesday in the
journal *Nature Communications *say they've figured it out. It has to do
with tiny bubbles.

Using high-speed cameras and fluorescent dye, the researchers filmed drops
of water as they fell on different types of soil infused with bacteria.
They watched as the drops delicately catapulted the microbes into the air.
Aerosols

raindrop hits the ground. Airflow in the room pushes the droplets off to
the side.

When a raindrop hits the ground at the right speed, it traps air bubbles
beneath it, each one no wider than a human hair.

Like an air bubble stuck under a container at the bottom of a pool, those
bubbles then rise, bursting when they reach the surface.

As the bubbles burst, they send a spray of tiny water jets into the air,
sometimes carrying bacteria with them.

"It's very similar to what happens if you pour a glass of champagne or any
carbonated beverage and you see that fizz on top," says Cullen Buie
<http://web.mit.edu/lemi/pers_faculty.html>, a mechanical engineer at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an author on the paper. In that
case, the popping bubbles are full of carbon dioxide; in this case, they're
full of air.

In a few microseconds, Buie and his colleagues found, a single raindrop can
create hundreds of tiny airborne droplets, each one carrying as many as
several thousand live bacteria.

It's as if the ground has gently sneezed.
Bubbles

The more bubbles there are, the more chances there are for bacteria to get
launched into the air.

Source: Joung et al. Nature Communications

The soaring microbes can survive inside a tiny water droplet for at least
an hour.

"The next step is studying how far they can potentially travel," says
Cullen, who estimates that bacteria could travel for miles, if the winds
are right and they don't get dragged down by other raindrops.

The three kinds of soil bacteria involved in this study ? *Corynebacterium
glutamicum, Pseudomonas syringae, Bacillus subtilis* ? are harmless. But
pathogens can also get a lift <http://aem.asm.org/content/35/2/290.short>
from water droplets.

Cullen and his colleagues got started on this study after a British
scientist contacted them after noticing an uptick
<http://www.nature.com/nrmicro/journal/v4/n4/abs/nrmicro1385.html> in a
rare disease called melioidosis during the rainy season in parts of
Southeast Asia and northern Australia. The lung infection is caused by the
soil-dwelling bacterium *Burkholderia pseudomallei*.

Cullen's results suggest rain could be a reason for that uptick. He and his
colleagues varied the speed of the falling raindrops and the type and
temperature of the soil. They found that the Goldilocks conditions for
producing spray loaded with bacteria is exactly what you'd find in certain
tropical places ? sandy clay soils, a soil temperature of 86 degrees
Fahrenheit and droplets falling at about 3 miles an hour.

"I don't want people thinking they shouldn't go outside after it rains
because they might get some bacterial infection. I definitely don't want
people thinking that," says Cullen.

Melioidosis, he says, is very rare. And, if rain really is the culprit
behind a small rise in cases, that would only be the case in the rare
locations with exactly the right conditions ? and with the disease-causing
bacterium living in the soil.

"Bacteria, unfortunately, get a bad rap," says Buie. Most, he says, are
harmless or even beneficial. And sometimes they even smell good.

It would be great if we could find a Masters or PhD student keen to

This conference is another thread

Perhaps culminating at IPC14 in Argentina ??

Hi, how you faring there in Nashville? The Ph.D. Title is very impressive. 
Seriously with a shade of sarcasm. I've been in the field getting experience 
and inflicting good deeds going on 50 years now. No titles, yet. Ever since 
as an infant and crawled through the hedgerow in Africa and grocked into 
observationland. 
 The hairs on the back of my neck raise up when I hear subjective terms like 
"high quality" and "good".  However, I lend my moral support with the benefit 
of the doubt. Best wishes and health to your efforts. Lecture over lol. Thank 
you for your time and consideration.

Hi Alan,

I have never been to this place, but I have had students who went to Rancho
Matatal, and had a great time. They seem very well organized, and have
great green building skills. In Costa Rica.

Bocas del Toro in Panama had a permaculture project, but i have not heard
of it in a whie and forgot the name of the place

Punta Mono is another place that is well known for its fruit selection, on
the Atlantic side of Costa Rica.

Good luck!

Christopher

Rancho Margot near Arenal, in CR.  
They have a good array of permaculture and appropriate technology inventions 
to support a community, resort, restaurant and dormitory for WWOOFers, 
students and lower income travelers.  It is truly gorgeous there. There were 
several WWOOFers when I was there and I fell in love with the place. The hot 
water is heated through the compost bins, there is a beautiful river and 
swimming area with a large diverted swimming area with compost heated water. 
There are local people employed teaching sustainable technologies to the 
students who come.

SANET Compatriots -

My friend Allan Balliett has not gotten around to posting this notice on
SANET, so I'm going to do it for him. Time to get the word out.  Allan
organized, recorded and has now podcast a conversation with Elizabeth
Henderson and me about the new CSA Charter.

Here's an edited introduction to the podcast, and also a link should you
wish to listen or to download:

-----------

Many small farmer-operated CSAs are in a crisis because numerous non-local,
non-quality food sales schemes have pushed Real CSAs out of the fresh,
wholesome local food marketplace that they created. Consumers and
small-scale sustainable farms are the big losers here.

The CSA Charter is a way Real CSAs can identify themselves as authentic to
local consumers and is a way that consumers can make sure that they invest
their food dollars with Real CSAs and not profiteers, so their food dollars
support better personal health, the training of future farmers, and a
better environment.

In this episode of the Biodynamics Now! Podcast, CSA movement leaders
Elizabeth Henderson and Steven McFadden discuss details of the new CSA
Charter with host, and long time biodynamics CSA farmer, Allan Balliett.

"Over the years, Dorothy wore a favorite T-shirt that read: "The death of
the forest is the end of our lives." She knew first hand what the
destruction of the Amazon meant, not only for Brazil but for the planet. In
1991, she took a sabbatical program in Oakland, California to study
creation spirituality with Matthew Fox (and lived around the corner from
me. ) Afterwards, she attended the historic 1992 first Earth Summit in Rio
de Janeiro. A few weeks later, she wrote her family, "Tell all that we must
make great efforts to save our planet. Mother Earth is not able to provide
anymore. Her water and air are poisoned and her soil is dying of
exaggerated use of chemicals, all in the name of profit. Pray for all of us
and for a world where all can live -- plants, animals and humans -- in
peace and harmony." In 2002, the death threats intensified. The mayor of
the nearby town said, "We have to get rid of that woman if we are going to
have peace." A list circulated of people with "bounties" on their heads.
Atop the list was her name -- Stang, $20,000."

Introducing the Open Building Institute: a Q&A with Marcin Jakubowski

by Cat Johnson

The Open Building Institute is an open source effort to make affordable
housing widely available while fostering collaborative and ecological
practices. The project is focused on low cost and rapidly-built structures
that are modular, ecological, and energy efficient. At the heart of OBI is
a library of building modules, including walls, windows, doors, roof,
utility and functional modules and more that can be combined to create a
variety of structures, including studios, homes, multi-family houses,
greenhouses, barns, workshops, schools, and offices.

I spoke with founding partner Marcin Jakubowski about the importance of
open source design to address pressing global issues, why modular building
is an exciting alternative to traditional building methods, and how an
empowered community of people that draw from, and contribute to, the
library can help provide low-cost housing solutions anywhere.

* Cat Johnson: How did the Open Building Institute (OBI) come about? What
need does it fill that is not available elsewhere?*

Marcin Jakubowski: Catarina Mota and I got married in 2013 and she moved
from Brooklyn, New York to the middle of nowhere, Missouri. She realized
that the house we had was simply too small. We called some contractors, but
found out that what we wanted didn?t exist yet. Catarina needed a
comfortable house that didn?t cost a million dollars, that could be built
quickly from local materials, and that could be expanded as we grow.

There was only one option: we had to build it ourselves. So we did just
that. We examined the best practices then took our open source high power
brick press and, through much trial and error, developed a formula for
rapid builds. With rapid builds, a big group of people builds a large
number of modules in parallel and then assembles them rapidly into a
building. We realized that, using these techniques, we could build an 800
square foot structure from scratch in just five days. So we decided to take
it to the next level.

For a few years now we?ve been developing an open source toolkit that can
make building a house easier, faster, and cheaper. We started a library of
modules that can be put together like building blocks. We?re developing
instructionals, including software and many other tools to enable anyone to
design and build using this open source system. Moreover, we?re creating a
training program for our system so, if you want, you can hire an OBI
builder anywhere in the world.

We have decided to build a solar-powered, replicable Materials Production
Facility so you can use local materials wherever you are. Focusing on
integrated, regenerative design, we are pursuing Living Building Challenge
certification, which is the highest standard for regenerative construction.
We are also developing a social model of production, where
apprentices-in-training build the houses during immersion training
workshops. Our combination of rapid build time, low cost, regenerative
features, user-generated design, and feasibility of both social production
or commercial build models are not found in any other house offering. Our
value proposition revolves around democratizing construction.


* The Institute offers a library of building modules, including walls,
windows, doors, roof, and utilities, that can be combined to create homes,
barns, greenhouses, studios and more. Why does open, low-cost, modular
building make sense? *
Modular, open source housing makes sense because you can design and modify
it yourself for your specific needs?or you can use existing designs. Open
design means that you have full access to use, distribute, modify, or sell
the product, free of charge. Low cost makes sense for access, such as when
modular housing can be built in an incremental fashion. Our standard model
costs under $25k for materials for a 700 square foot, expandable Starter
Home. But you can build a structure of any size, larger or smaller.

Rather than getting in debt with the average $360,000 dollar new house, you
can start with a smaller home for 1/10 of the cost and then expand it as
needed. You have the ability to choose standard or innovative features, as
your budget allows. Because we are developing design guides and we provide
the module libraries, you can become your own house designer. The point of
modular design is that you have access to design assets that have already
been worked out or engineered in detail by others so you are able to create
house designs that are not only fanciful, but also buildable in real life.
If you contribute your designs or improvements back to the common pool
under a share-alike license, which is a requirement of using the OBI
library, then access to quality designs increases with time. The whole
ecosystem grows in value and service to humanity.

*Designs and build instructions are contributed by designers around the
world. What type of designs are found in the library and why is the
collaborative and distributed approach important?*

We have seeded a library, which has sufficient modules to design a house.
But our scope of usage in many contexts and locations is so broad that only
a collaborative and distributed approach can achieve it. Many designers,
many perspective and experiences are needed to pull it off. This could not
be done with a centralized approach.

The library, at this point, contains around 20 structure and utility
modules that we have built and tested over the last three years. The scope
of the library includes materials, build processes, structural and utility
modules, and entire house designs. *10 AM CST, Wednesday June 29, 2016*
marks the official launch of OBI, with the Kickstarter campaign. We will
start accepting contributions to the library from the general public upon
successful funding of the Kickstarter campaign. As people contribute and
the library grows ? the more valuable the system becomes.

*The modules and procedures are open source?forever and with no exceptions,
so that everyone is free to use, modify and redistribute them. How do you
see the open source movement intersecting with the affordable, ecological
housing movement?*

Open source also means that you can learn more about building and get
actively involved, as opposed to leaving it to others and accepting their
choices without fully understanding them. This is important, since
involved, knowledgeable, proactive citizens are the only thing that can
change the world.

Open source means that the competitive waste is zero and innovation is
unleashed. We are pursuing the extreme limit of both ecology and cost, as
exemplified in our goal of attaining Living Building Challenge compliance
while remaining affordable. We believe that only if the design is open
source can it become affordable as otherwise you are paying for expensive
expertise.

* There?s a focus on empowering non-professional builders with modules that
can be easily and quickly built. Why is this important? Who do you see
utilizing the library and Institute?*

Empowering non-professionals to build increases access to housing
significantly as more people will have the ability to build and to do so at
lower cost. In the global context, this is especially relevant with the
tide of urbanization. According to world-renowned architect Alejandro
Aravena, ?by 2030, out of the five billion people that will be living in
cities, two billion are going to be under the line of poverty. That means
that we will have to build a one million-person city per week with 10,000
dollars per family during the next 15 years.?

Arevena believes that this equation can be solved by incremental
housing?only if we ?channel people?s own building capacity.? We envision
that DIY builders and startup entrepreneurs will be our early adopters and
we believe that some of our designs will be adopted by mainstream builders
once the open source cost-to-performance advantage becomes clear.


*Who contributed designs and are the designs tested or approved? *
The current designs have been produced by Catarina Mota, project founder,
and successful Kickstarter funding marks the opening of public
contributions. Our goal is to have both the modules, materials, and house
designs fully certified, with calculations and engineering approval as
needed.

We will provide test data for building materials that we release from third
party testing labs. We will provide support in navigating building codes,
and we will crowdsource location-based information on standards and
requirements for locations around the world. We will encourage voluntary
contributions of not only on module designs, but also on materials testing,
product certification, code compliance, and engineering calculations. We
will document testing protocols, and use open source design/calculation
software throughout, so that our products have an extra layer of
transparency.

* The mission for the Open Building Institute is to make affordable,
ecological housing accessible to everyone. What is the big picture vision
for it? If everything goes really well, what would you most like to see?*

The average American pays $1.2M over their lifetime just to secure their
home. And 1.6 billion people on earth live without adequate housing.
Housing is not a privilege, it?s a basic need. We envision a world where
everyone has access to housing?and without getting into debt. We envision a
future where regenerative housing helps to heal the environment by
providing surplus food, energy, and fuel to its its inhabitants. We
envision a world where housing contributes to, rather than detracts from,
the natural ecology of a place.

WATCH: Raindrops Catapult Bacteria Into The Air, And It's Beautiful

March 7, 201712:14 PM ET

Rae Ellen Bichell <http://www.npr.org/people/488507788/rae-bichell>

When you step outside after a big rainstorm and take a deep whiff of that
fresh, earthy smell, you're mostly smelling a chemical called geosmin.

It's a byproduct of bacteria and fungi. And something about rain lofts
<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3013058/> the chemical ? and
sometimes the organisms themselves ? into the air, a process that not only
helps release that earthy smell but may, in very rare conditions, spread
diseases.

Somehow raindrops launch tiny living things off the ground.

Wind can pick bacteria up from the ground and bring into the sky,
sometimes settling
in clouds
<http://www.npr.org/2013/01/29/170459317/bird-plane-bacteria-microbes-thrive-in-storm-clouds>
thousands of feet above us. Sea spray can also send
<http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmicb.2014.00557/full>
bacteria flying. The mystery has been, how does rain do it?

Now, mechanical engineers writing
<http://nature.com/articles/doi:10.1038/NCOMMS14668> Wednesday in the
journal *Nature Communications *say they've figured it out. It has to do
with tiny bubbles.

Using high-speed cameras and fluorescent dye, the researchers filmed drops
of water as they fell on different types of soil infused with bacteria.
They watched as the drops delicately catapulted the microbes into the air.
Aerosols

raindrop hits the ground. Airflow in the room pushes the droplets off to
the side.

When a raindrop hits the ground at the right speed, it traps air bubbles
beneath it, each one no wider than a human hair.

Like an air bubble stuck under a container at the bottom of a pool, those
bubbles then rise, bursting when they reach the surface.

As the bubbles burst, they send a spray of tiny water jets into the air,
sometimes carrying bacteria with them.

"It's very similar to what happens if you pour a glass of champagne or any
carbonated beverage and you see that fizz on top," says Cullen Buie
<http://web.mit.edu/lemi/pers_faculty.html>, a mechanical engineer at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an author on the paper. In that
case, the popping bubbles are full of carbon dioxide; in this case, they're
full of air.

In a few microseconds, Buie and his colleagues found, a single raindrop can
create hundreds of tiny airborne droplets, each one carrying as many as
several thousand live bacteria.

It's as if the ground has gently sneezed.
Bubbles

The more bubbles there are, the more chances there are for bacteria to get
launched into the air.
[image: Droplet]

Source: Joung et al. Nature Communications

The soaring microbes can survive inside a tiny water droplet for at least
an hour.

"The next step is studying how far they can potentially travel," says
Cullen, who estimates that bacteria could travel for miles, if the winds
are right and they don't get dragged down by other raindrops.

The three kinds of soil bacteria involved in this study ? *Corynebacterium
glutamicum, Pseudomonas syringae, Bacillus subtilis* ? are harmless. But
pathogens can also get a lift <http://aem.asm.org/content/35/2/290.short>
from water droplets.

Cullen and his colleagues got started on this study after a British
scientist contacted them after noticing an uptick
<http://www.nature.com/nrmicro/journal/v4/n4/abs/nrmicro1385.html> in a
rare disease called melioidosis during the rainy season in parts of
Southeast Asia and northern Australia. The lung infection is caused by the
soil-dwelling bacterium *Burkholderia pseudomallei*.

Cullen's results suggest rain could be a reason for that uptick. He and his
colleagues varied the speed of the falling raindrops and the type and
temperature of the soil. They found that the Goldilocks conditions for
producing spray loaded with bacteria is exactly what you'd find in certain
tropical places ? sandy clay soils, a soil temperature of 86 degrees
Fahrenheit and droplets falling at about 3 miles an hour.

"I don't want people thinking they shouldn't go outside after it rains
because they might get some bacterial infection. I definitely don't want
people thinking that," says Cullen.

Melioidosis, he says, is very rare. And, if rain really is the culprit
behind a small rise in cases, that would only be the case in the rare
locations with exactly the right conditions ? and with the disease-causing
bacterium living in the soil.

"Bacteria, unfortunately, get a bad rap," says Buie. Most, he says, are
harmless or even beneficial. And sometimes they even smell good.

Dear fellow designers and like-minded folks,

We have a couple of students that are planning travel to Panama and Costa
Rica, and we would like to direct them to some high-quality Permaculture
farms and/or projects where they can get some good hands-on experience.

Please reply with some links or contact details if you know of any.

Thank you!

This conference is another thread

Perhaps culminating at IPC14 in Argentina ??

Hi, how you faring there in Nashville? The Ph.D. Title is very impressive. 
Seriously with a shade of sarcasm. I've been in the field getting experience 
and inflicting good deeds going on 50 years now. No titles, yet. Ever since 
as an infant and crawled through the hedgerow in Africa and grocked into 
observationland. 
 The hairs on the back of my neck raise up when I hear subjective terms like 
"high quality" and "good".  However, I lend my moral support with the benefit 
of the doubt. Best wishes and health to your efforts. Lecture over lol. Thank 
you for your time and consideration.

Hi Alan,

I have never been to this place, but I have had students who went to Rancho
Matatal, and had a great time. They seem very well organized, and have
great green building skills. In Costa Rica.

Bocas del Toro in Panama had a permaculture project, but i have not heard
of it in a whie and forgot the name of the place

Punta Mono is another place that is well known for its fruit selection, on
the Atlantic side of Costa Rica.

Good luck!

Christopher

Rancho Margot near Arenal, in CR.  
They have a good array of permaculture and appropriate technology inventions 
to support a community, resort, restaurant and dormitory for WWOOFers, 
students and lower income travelers.  It is truly gorgeous there. There were 
several WWOOFers when I was there and I fell in love with the place. The hot 
water is heated through the compost bins, there is a beautiful river and 
swimming area with a large diverted swimming area with compost heated water. 
There are local people employed teaching sustainable technologies to the 
students who come.

SANET Compatriots -

My friend Allan Balliett has not gotten around to posting this notice on
SANET, so I'm going to do it for him. Time to get the word out.  Allan
organized, recorded and has now podcast a conversation with Elizabeth
Henderson and me about the new CSA Charter.

Here's an edited introduction to the podcast, and also a link should you
wish to listen or to download:

-----------

Many small farmer-operated CSAs are in a crisis because numerous non-local,
non-quality food sales schemes have pushed Real CSAs out of the fresh,
wholesome local food marketplace that they created. Consumers and
small-scale sustainable farms are the big losers here.

The CSA Charter is a way Real CSAs can identify themselves as authentic to
local consumers and is a way that consumers can make sure that they invest
their food dollars with Real CSAs and not profiteers, so their food dollars
support better personal health, the training of future farmers, and a
better environment.

In this episode of the Biodynamics Now! Podcast, CSA movement leaders
Elizabeth Henderson and Steven McFadden discuss details of the new CSA
Charter with host, and long time biodynamics CSA farmer, Allan Balliett.

1 - Hugh Lovel will be in the UK and giving a course at the Asha centre in
the Forest of Dean on the upcoming weekend. He's author of A Biodynamic
Farm and Quantum Agriculture and an internationally sought after expert on
soil amendments and radionics as a way of getting land productive and
healthy. Details here: http://www.considera.org/quantum.html

2 - Enzo Nastati will give a talk about Widdar / Trinium agriculture which
uses potentised preparations to address the health of plants and soil. This
will happen on March 28th at 3pm at CAWR in Ryton Gardens / Go Organic  -
the old Henry Doubleday centre. This is the only time Enzo will be in the
UK this year and the results are stunning. *http://tinyurl.com/h5q3xza
