But if you took salt beef you would not get any butter and if you took butter you would not get any salt pork. You had a choice, you could not get both.PRINTED ITEM MAY 13 1988G.M.

Evaluation of the removal efficiency of the wastewater treatment system of Wack Wack Golf and Country Club
No full textThe study was conducted at the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club from April 16 to June 7, 2008. It generally aimed to evaluate the removal efficiency of the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club Wastewater Treatment system, as well as determine the suitability of the effluent for turf grass irrigation and aquaculture. To achieve these objectives, wastewater characterization for both influent and effluent were done based on selected water quality parameters. Values obtained were then used to determine the removal efficiency of the wastewater treatment system. The effluent water quality requirements of tilapia and irrigation water quality criteria for turf irrigation. The pH range from 6.71 to 6.96, EC from 249.33 to 352.33 μmhos/cm, temperature from 27.94 to 29.99 °C, DO levels from 2.4 to 6.28 mg/l, ammonia concentrations from 0.97 to 2.54 mg/l, nitrite-nitrogen from 0.262 to 0.366 mg/l and nitrate-nitrogen levels from 1.1 to 2.7 mg/l and a BOD₅ of 75 mg/l for influent. While pH ranges from 6.91 to 7.19, EC from 262.67 to 272 μmhos/cm, temperature from 27.83 to 28.58 °C, DO levels from 8.25 to 12.41 mg/l, ammonia concentrations from 0.02-0.21 mg/l, nitrite-nitrogen from 0.01-0.075 mg/l and nitrate -nitrogen levels from 2.4 to 3.4 mg/l and a BOD₅ of 25 mg/l for effluent. For removal efficiency, the ammonia was reduced by 94.95%, nitrite by 90.29%, TSS by 77.5%, COD by 70.54%, oil and grease by 83.33% and BOD₅ by 66.67%. Based om the results, it is concluded that the produced effluent is safe for tilapia and turfgrasses in terms only on the parameters used in the study. The Wack Wack Wastewater treatment system is efficient and effective in reducing most of the organic compounds in water and some inorganic compounds such as nitrite and ammonia. However, other water quality parameters such as heavy metals need to be evaluated for a better assessment of suitability. Aside from his, the system also needs to be improved

Village Homes, Davis, California: A Learning Lab for Future Planners
No full textBuilt in the 1970s, Village Homes is an extremely successful housing development in Davis, California, and considered a model of sustainable community design. Energy-conscious houses are organized around a system of pedestrian-friendly streets and open spaces, with community facilities, shared gardens, orchards, and vineyards, all managed by residents. Professor Paul Wack, a founder of the Sustainable Environments minor in the College of Architecture and Environmental Design, has been adopting it as a case-study for his classes for several years
Pre-determined elements in the business environment: Reflecting on the legacy of Pierre Wack
No full textUnderstanding uncertainty in the business environment has long been a key challenge for managers to help them understand drivers of change, yet scant attention is paid to the idea of 'predetermined elements' in the business environment. Pierre Wack defined predetermined elements as 'those events that have already occurred but whose consequences have not yet unfolded' created by the underlying systemic structures. By drawing on a recent scenario case study we are able to develop Wack's idea of predetermined elements from which it is possible to determine what is inevitable from what is fundamentally uncertain in the business environment. Identifying predetermined elements provides managers with insights that reveal the nature and interaction of factors and actors that are part of systemic structures driving change
Sustainability and Interdisciplinary Education: Planning and the CAED Sustainable Environments Program
No full textFor the past fifteen years, through an interdepartmental effort, the College of Architecture and Environmental Design has been offering an interdisciplinary minor on Sustainable Environments. CRP professor Paul Wack, a devoted co-founder and one of its most popular instructors, writes about this unique and popular initiative which recently received a national educational award from the American Institute of Architects
The World Changed Today: A Ten Year Reflection for a Climate Changing World
No full textIn this article Paul Wack offers us a reflection on two of the most important issues for the planning profession: climate change and the public’s short attention span. He starts by addressing a 1895 poem depicting an optimistic view of the future which the late musician John Denver used to recite during his concerts, and in which Paul finds much inspiration for his classes. The article also ties into the next one, titled “Hot Topic”, dealing with the same theme and originally published in the APA’s Planning magazine
