TRANSCRIPT Welcome to Popeular History, a library of Catholic knowledge and insights. Check out the show notes for sources, further reading, and a transcript. Today we're discussing another current Cardinal of the Catholic Church, one of the 120 or so people who will choose the next Pope when the time comes. John RIBAT was born on February 9, 1957, in Volavolo, archdiocese of Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. As you may know, Papua New Guinea is an island nation, making John our fourth island-born Cardinal in a row, though Volavolo isn't actually on the island of New Guinea, instead, it's on the northern end of New Britain, the nation's second largest island. Ecologically, New Britain is that classic Oceanic mix of tropical rainforest and volcanos, to the extent that Rabaul, the provincial capital where John went to high school, now by and large sits under several meters of volcanic ash after a 1994 eruption. Don't worry, John was class of 70-something. After a bit of minor seminary preparation, John signed up with the Congregation of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (M.S.C.)., a religious order founded in 1854 by a French priest. Of course, France is on the other side of the world from New Guinea, but “Missionaries” is right there in the name, and Rabaul and its volcano destroyed high school was actually their first oversees mission in 1882. John did his first vows in 1979, and was ordained a priest for the Sacred Heart Missionaries in 1985. He did pastoral work for the next six years, then started serving as a master of novices after some supplemental training. He alternated those roles through the 90s, and in the year 2000 he was called up from his work- now in Fiji- to serve as the Auxiliary Bishop of Bereina on the main island in Papua New Guinea. In 2002 he dropped the Auxiliary part and became the full-on bishop of Bereina. Spiritually, a strong majority of Papua New Guineans identify as Christian, with the Roman Catholics representing between a quarter and a third of the total population, depending on who you ask. Various forms of Protestantism make up a larger group when viewed collectively, though Catholicism is the largest single group. Though Christianity is dominant, traditional animist customs and ancestor worship are also common in the country operating under or sometimes on the surface. In the case of the Bereina diocese, church records suggest a higher percentage of the local population is Catholic than the national average, over ⅔. In 2006 John Ribat was transferred to the capital see, running the Archdiocese of Port Moresby. According to my 2013 data, the first readily available during his tenure, the Archdiocese had 204,186 Catholics and, drumroll please, *six* diocesan priests. But old hands looking for a catch here have probably already called it, the keyword there is *diocesan* priests, as the Archdiocese also had a healthier total of 82 priests belonging to religious orders. Considering Archbishop Ribat is from a religious order himself, it's not too surprising, but it does draw attention to New Guinea's history as a significant focal point of the sort of missionary activity that missionary religious orders specialize in in recent years. Things are shifting in a logical pattern–in 1990 religious priests outnumbered diocesan in New Guinea four to one. Twenty-seven years later, they reached parity, and since then diocesan clergy have been gradually outpacing religious clergy in a trend that I expect to continue, though of course predicting the future is hard and honestly I don't have deep enough data at the moment to be especially confident, a statistical breakdown of clergy by religious order is on my to-do list here. Getting back to Archbishop Ribat, he was president of the Episcopal Conference of Papua New Guinea and Salomon Island from 2011 to 2014, and from 2014 to 2018 he was president of the Federation of the Conferences of the Catholic Bishops of Oceania (FCBCO). In 2016, Archbishop Ribat was made a Knight of the British Empire, which took me by surprise since I had it in my head that the Papuans had rejected the British monarchy at independence, but nope, turns out they're a commonwealth country with Charles III as their Head of State and God Save the King as their Royal Anthem. 2016 was also the year when Archbishop Ribat became eligible for this episode, with Pope Francis elevating him to the College as a Cardinal-Priest with the title of San Giovanni Battista de' Rossi–and yes that's a name church archeology fans will recognize but it's actually a 18th century priest and not the 19th century archeologist. I do seem to recall there is a connection between the two this time but I admit I've forgotten exactly what it was if so, either way I'm going to do a deeper dive on the titular churches and deaconries eventually so I'll get into that in more detail when we get there. Cardinal Ribat is the first Cardinal from the Sacred Heart Missionaries and also the first Cardinal from Papua New Guinea. In 2017, Pope Francis also added now-Cardinal Ribat to the Dicastery for the Service of the Integral Human Development, a role he has filled while continuing his service as the Archbishop of Port Moresby. John Cardinal RIBAT is eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2037. Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers, and there will be more Cardinal Numbers next week. Thank you for listening; God bless you all! Thanks Joe! Hey quick supplemental note from Gregg in case anyone's wondering, uh, yes, this was certainly recorded before we had the announcement of Pope Francis' upcoming trip to not only Papua New Guinea but also Indonesia, Timor Leste, that's East Timor, and Singapore. So he'll be on the road from September 2nd to September 13th of this year, which I believe is going to be his longest trip of his papacy. And then he's actually also going to be doing a quick European swingover to Luxembourg and Belgium from September 26th to the 29th so keep him in prayers for safe travels if you would be so kind, or, you know, thoughts if that's your thing, he's got a busy month ahead.
The grape family (Vitaceae) is known and appreciated the world over, largely for their culinary value. Ecologically speaking, they are very important plants as well. However, we know very little about their origin, evolution, and rates of extinction. Thanks to some lucky paleobotanical finds, that story has become a bit clearer in recent times. Join me and Paleobotanist Dr. Fabiany Herrera as we explore 20 years of fossil hunting and research and learn what it can teach us about the grapes!

Did you know that grasslands account for between 20 and 40 percent of the world's land area? Generally open, fairly flat, and accessible, they exist on every continent except Antarctica. Ecologically as important as but different from other large ecoregion types such as forests or deserts, grasslands are even more vulnerable to pressure from human populations – for settling, planting, livestock, and development. Threats to natural grasslands, as well as the wildlife that live on them, include farming, overgrazing, invasive species, illegal hunting, and climate change. At the same time, one study found California's grasslands and rangelands could store more carbon than forests because they are less susceptible to wildfires and drought. Still, less than 10 percent—of the world's grassland is currently protected in large part due to a lack of understanding of their ecological role. Which is where Dr. Justin Luong comes in. Grassland ecosystems fill an ecological role as important as and different than our charismatic forests, our extreme deserts, and our coastal or chaparral scrub. And in fact, much of the general home garden lanscapes with their mix of perennial flowers, annual vegetables, and grasses, in many ways mimic grassland meadows. Ecologist and educator Dr. Justin Luong of Cal Poly Humboldt joins Cultivating Place this week to share more about his journey (including being a worm wrangler) in science, practice, and education focused on biodiversity and climate resiliency, most recently through grassland restoration ecology.

This session will discuss how short-term global healthcare mission trips can benefit medical students and residents, but also be beneficial to their global hosts. Ways to make these trips ethical, equitable and ecologically responsible will be presented. Mission and academic agencies are paying critical attention to “Global Healthcare Education” experiences. Short-term mission trips in a Christian context may meet this need. How can we make these experiences ethical, equitable, and ecologically responsible? This workshop will look at the ethics of taking teams from HIC to LMIC, the preparation and training required to make these trips valuable to the hosting site and visitors, who initiates the request, the expertise visitors bring, and what needs to be considered to leave something which is beneficial to the hosts. Session recorded on Thursday, November 9th during Session Block #1 at 3:45PM EST ; speakers: John Tarpley; James D. Smith; Maggie https://www.medicalmissions.com/events/gmhc-2023/sessions/making-short-term-global-healthcare-mission-trips-ethical-equitable-and-ecologically-responsible

In this episode, Alex Sarama discusses the concept of principles of play and how they can be developed through the constraint-led approach (CLA). He explains that many offensive and defensive schemes in basketball are highly controlled, which can over-constrain players' behaviors. Instead, he advocates for using principles of play, which provide possibilities and shape players' intentions without stipulating specific actions. Alex conceptualizes offense as creating advantages and converting them successfully and uses the concept of medals to guide shot selection. He also discusses the application of principles of play in transition and defense which as with offense are centered around adaptability. Key Takeaways: 2:20 - Game Model vs Principles of Play 8:05 - What is a conceptual offense and how to categorize shots 11:30 - Transition concepts 13:05 - Using triggers 14:25 - Varying defensive coverages 16:10 - Takeaways Links: Website: http://transformingbball.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/transformbball Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/transformingbasketball/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@transformingbasketball Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/transformingbasketball/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@transforming.basketball

Today I had the opportunity to visit with Tim Kaelin, CEO of Renewable Energy Management about his energy storage company that does not need tax incentives, or subsidies to bring to market. This is a huge win for the grid stabilization that needs to happen for our increased energy demands.Sustainable to many people does not include fiscal or ecologically responsible in their definition. Our conversation went over their energy storage solution and it hit all of my top requirements. Ecologically sound, not require the massive critical minerals from foreign countries, and fiscally sound. The other key point of our discussion was the battery technology. It could spill out on the ground, and could even be considered fertilizer.There is a massive need for ending energy poverty, and I am thrilled to have had the opportunity fo visit with Tim, and am looking forward to visiting with his executive team of world experts. George McMillan is one of his team members with whom I have been communicating and planning some fantastic geopolitical discussions around energy.Check out their event November 9th with the Finacial Policy Council HERE: "Energy vs. Business: Where Mainstream Energy Policy Has it Wrong"00:00 - Introduction02:00 - Tim Kaelin founded a company to create affordable utility-scale batteries for renewable energy, aiming for profitability without subsidies.04:27 - Explaining their technology's operation.06:45 - The significance of kilowatts per megawatt-hour in the discussion.08:15 - Their batteries for large solar farms in shipping containers, addressing reclamation and recyclability concerns.11:14 - Upcoming November 9th event with George McMillan, covering energy, geopolitics, market dynamics, and renewable energy challenges.16:46 - Importance of battery storage in renewable energy, regulatory hurdles, fiscal sustainability, and global energy dynamics, including skepticism around net-zero goals in developing countries and coal demand.21:31 - Highlighting energy storage as a currency for economic growth and societal advancement.23:23 - Preview of the November 9th event in New York and the possibility of a live podcast before the event.24:57 - Outro.Full Transcript and Show notes will be added shortly.

As Regis emerges, he's tackled and eaten by the juvenile tyrannosaurus, which pushes Grant and the kids to escape further into the park, rather than following the road back to “safety.” Discussions surround: Show, don't tell; Daddy Issues; Timeline; Believe me, I know!; Corrections: Side effects: May cause you to login to Zoom twice, creating a ghost account, which can only be spoken to via a Ouigji board.

A recent consultant's report on Sandy Lake identified several ecologically important features, even though the area has been earmarked for housing development. Hear why that's concerning for conservationists.
Dr. Sabrina Chakori is my guest on Episode 164 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Sabrina is a Researcher at CSIRO - Australia's Science Agency, Associate Lecturer University of Queensland, founder (Brisbane Tool Library), Post Growth Institute fellow. Sabrina holds a BSc. in Biology (University of Geneva) and an MSc. in Environmental Economics (The University of Queensland). Using a systems approach in her Ph.D. research (The University of Queensland) Sabrina explored packaged food reduction in food systems. Her work provides an understanding and repositioning of the socio-materiality of food packaging, politicising packaged food, and highlighting the need to pursue degrowth strategies to increase the sustainability of food systems. Post Growth Institute fellow, winner of the 2020 Create Change 7News Young Achiever Award (QLD), and recipient of the Emerging Female Leader bursary from the National Council of Women of Queensland (2020), Sabrina is a multi-award social entrepreneur, researcher, educator, and dedicated activist. Sabrina is fully invested in creating systemic change that would build a more socially just and ecologically sustainable degrowth society. Sabrina has been advocating for a more sustainable society, leading numerous collaborations in various countries. For example, to translate into practice her knowledge and vision, in 2017, she founded the Brisbane Tool Library, a social enterprise that encourages people to borrow tools, camping gear, and other equipment. This community-driven circular model reduces productivism and consumerism. The Brisbane Tool Library is Australia's first and only ‘library of things' to be located within a public library (State Library of Queensland). Sabrina also co-founded the Degrowth Journal with a collective that aims at changing the academic culture, decommodifying knowledge, and supporting slow science.

He's a systems thinker, a traditional carver, an arts critic and a senior lecturer in Indigenous Knowledges at Deakin University in Melbourne. He's also the author, along with his land and community, of Sand Talk: How indigenous thinking can save the world. And today, he's going to bring us into this question:What are people for? Ecologically speaking, in relation with the other species whom we're here with, what are we for? In this context, why do we tell stories, think in metaphors and symbols, and enact ceremonies?This episode includes guided meditations, original music and much more.

The fact of the matter is we live in co-existence with our environment: our cities, our neighbourhood, animals, trees and plants… as well as our ex-lovers, however many billion corpses and the world's garbage and excrement. In the age of the Anthropocene, ecological collapse, and a pandemic what does it mean to be 'all in this together', especially when there's no getting out of it? Timothy Morton, a Texan-based philosopher and Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English at Rice University, joins Blueprint For Living to help us with these questions and introduce us to the idea of the 'hyper-object'. This was first broadcast on July 17, 2021.
Kevin founded the Southwest Environmental Center in New Mexico in the early 90's and has been fighting for wildlife and wildlands for decades. Kevin realized that as long as people who viewed animals as soulless resources were making all the decisions on how wildlife should be managed – we as wildlife advocates would be fighting an endless battle. So he and his team at Southwest Environmental Center launched— Wildlife for All – a national campaign to reform state wildlife management to be more ecologically driven, democratic and compassionate.
Prosperity Homestead helps property owners get more from their land.

You'll discover ways to get more from your land and examples of others who have already done the same.
The future is now. Technology augmentation of the dissemination and implementation of EBPs has never been more widely accepted, from mobile apps to synchronous telehealth to asynchronous post-workshop support. Join us as we geek out with Dr. Peter Tuerk about the merits of technology adoption in EBPs, thinking creatively about using familiar technologies in new ways, provider-crowd-sourcing, and avoiding the trap of insisting that technology solutions must be replications of the old ways of doing things. Come for the tech talk, stay for the “skewmorphs.”Guest Bio: Dr. Peter Tuerk is a research psychologist and clinician who specializes in evidence-based treatments for anxiety-spectrum disorders, related research and training, and the integration of technology into clinical care. Currently, he is Director of the Sheila C. Johnson Center for Clinical Services, a multidisciplinary training clinic at the University of Virginia, and he serves as Professor of Education within the Department of Human Services. His current research focuses on novel asynchronous telehealth technologies, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence in service of addressing EBT barriers.Resources mentioned in this episode:OC GO: oc-go.org [22:46]Brian Bunell case report: https://doi.org/10.1177%2F1534650113483357 [26:41]Calls-to-action: For example:Subscribe to the Practical for Your Practice PodcastSubscribe to The Center for Deployment Psychology Monthly Email
While many growers are familiar with the Western Leafhopper, they may not know as much about the Virginia Creeper Leafhopper. Houston Wilson, Assistant Cooperative Extension Specialist in the Department of Entomology at UC Riverside and Director of UC Organic Agriculture Institute has been studying the Virginia Creeper Leafhopper and potential biological controls. Leafhoppers are pierce and suck feeders. The insect removes small amounts of plant material causing a stippling effect on the leaf. This damage reduces the photosynthetic capacity of the vine and can reduce yields. The Virginia Creeper Leafhopper was recently introduced into the North Coast of California where it was discovered that it has no biological controls. Additionally, its life stages are different from the more well-known Western Leafhopper so growers must utilize different management practices to control the pest.

Kaela Atleework takes us on her journey growing up in California, becoming an international model for Chanel, and then leaving it all to pursue the nomad life. After 10 years of traveling, she shares her critical reflections on “voluntourism”. Kaela then takes us through some considerations for being more socially conscious travelers, including the importance of learning the historical and political context of the places we travel. Next she shares a story about the time she hitchhiked across South America alone, and reflects on how becoming a digital nomad helped her create a more socially connected life. Kaela then dives into her area of expertise on human connection, talks about her concept of “Instantaneous Intimacy”, and shares techniques for making deep friendships quickly. She then explains the importance of being more than just environmentally conscious travelers, and shares some specific tactics for how we can be “ecologically regenerative” travelers. Kaela then talks about founding Montaia Basecamp as a model for ecologically regenerative and socially connected co-living and co-working in connection with the land. She then explains her “migrational” nomad lifestyle and the unique benefits of this particular travel style. And, finally, Kaela offers her observations and analysis of the way a segment of the pseudo-spiritual wellness community has coalesced with the far right wing around narratives around COVID disinformation and anti-vaccine conspiracies, and what she feels is a potential path out.

Mildly-meditative, kind of relaxed state we move into when we're near, in, on, or under water, or when we're thinking about those things. There's science backing up how water shifts our mental state, our emotional state, how it calms us and centers us, how it connects us to each other in the best possible ways, and even boosts creativity. Maintaining the Blue Mind State Prioritize your water time. Prioritize your down time. Understand what your body needs to restore May be sleep May be a long soaking bath May be a mindful shower May be a float spa – a sensory deprivation tank May be a weekend retreat to the lake, ocean, river, or mountains What is Red Mind? Our normal base state in modern society; you're wired, you're dialed in, you're over-connected, you're striving towards goals. While necessary if it's all you have you will burn out. It affects our sleep, it affects our performance, it affects our relationships, it affects our physical wellbeing, and our emotional wellbeing. What is Grey Mind? When you've hit burn out stage by living only in Red Mind constantly. It's just the burnt out, indifferent, numbed-out, disconnected, don't care much about anything anymore state, mildly depressed, or even severely depressed. And we've all been there, too, where you're just spent. And that may last an afternoon, it may last days, weeks, months, and even years. It's the chronic social and psychological stress that just eats you up, that never goes away. Relieving the Grey Mind State Exercise Diet Supplements Social interactions Experiencing the beauty of nature, being out, being in awe and wonder, out on the water, out on the mountain, and moving your body outside.

In today's episode we'll talk about ecologically sustainable planning - an important issue in the context of climate change as cities consume about 80% of all energy produced and in 2030 are prognosed to emit 74% of greenhouse gases.
The rat race we all run on a daily basis has driven a wedge between humanity and the natural world. All the evidence we need is found in the destructive and exploitative relationships we've formed with the earth in the name of production and profit. Ecologically, we're committing species-wide suicide by denying the fact that we *are* the nature we've come to view as a spectacle. While we can put vast distances between our paved cities and the wilderness, we cannot ever be separate from that which we are part of. Hence why the world suffers when the Earth shows symptoms of her distress. And why we struggle as a whole - because we're fighting our very own nature by insisting on living a life of unnatural motives and outcomes. Joining us on this episode is Wild Quetzal, an indigenous citizen of Hawaii, here to talk about the vitalness and resulting rewards of repairing humanity's connection with ...itself. a.k.a. Nature. No primitive return to caveman days, required! Just ecological consciousness for the sake of humanity, the planet and our future.

Désirée Brucks is a postdoc at the University of Giessen and studies social cognition in animals, having worked with dogs, wolves, parrots, and a few more species. She is currently studying farm animals. In this conversation, we talk mainly about her work on inequty aversion in dogs and helping behaviour in parrots. Along the way, I get to ask all sorts of questions about animal cognition.BJKS Podcast is a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related, hosted by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith.

I was unproductive yesterday... But I was also productive (I hope) by watching more educational content such as PolyMatter, Saint Andrewism, Tom Nicholas, Today I Found Out, and EcoTechBro. How can we better educate and organize ourselves to be better manifestations of nature? I discuss what I learned from my lazy day yesterday and I how I think about moving towards a better future.

A South Island iwi is taking legal action against the government - saying it's been shut out of discussions about the protection given to ecologically-important land. The stewardship land makes up about 10-percent of the country and contains valuable forests and homes to threatened species. The government has announced plans to speed up decisions about which parcels of land will get the most protection - setting up independent expert panels to help advise it. But environmental groups fear it's a red herring that could lead to more mining on conservation land. Hamish Cardwell has the story.

Ecologically speaking, the edge effect results in greater diversity of life in a region where the edges of two adjacent ecosystems overlap, but social scientists also propose that the edge effect can help cultivate creativity in people who are exposed to different cultures. The edge effect may have been at play when some of our most revolutionary thinkers had creative breakthroughs, possibly even when Felix Adler founded Ethical Culture.

Ann Pettifor is best known for her prediction of the Great Financial Crisis in The Coming First World Debt Crisis (Palgrave 2006). In 2008 she co-authored The Green New Deal published by New Economics Foundation. In 2017 Verso published The Production of Money on the nature of money, debt and the finance sector. She is the author of The Case for The Green New Deal (Verso, 2019).In her paper for the Social Justice Ireland Annual Social Policy Conference, Ann speaks of the urgent need for ambitious, cohesive and transformative economic policies and for Europe’s need to face challenges collectively, and in solidarity. But Europe must do more. The upcoming challenges are daunting: not just the ecological and economic failure brought on by the coronavirus pandemic and the risk of a debt-deflationary downward economic spiral, but also the economic divergences that have led to the rise of anti-Europe sentiment, nationalism and populism; and the grave, even terrifying ecological risks that transcend borders.
Podcast: Brain Inspired (LS 46 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: BI 089 Matt Smith: Drifting CognitionPub date: 2020-11-12 Matt and I discuss how cognition and behavior drifts over the course of minutes and hours, and how global brain activity drifts with it. How does the brain continue to produce steady perception and action in the midst of such drift? We also talk about how to think about variability in neural activity. How much of it is noise and how much of it is hidden important activity? Finally, we discuss the effect of recording more and more neurons simultaneously, collecting bigger and bigger datasets, plus guest questions from Adam Snyder and Patrick Mayo. Smith Lab.Twitter: @SmithLabNeuro.Related:Slow drift of neural activity as a signature of impulsivity in macaque visual and prefrontal cortex.Artwork by Melissa Neely Take home points: The “noise” in the variability of neural activity is likely just activity devoted to processing other things.Recording lots of neurons simultaneously helps resolve the question of what's noise and how much information is in a population of neurons.There's a neural signature of the behavioral “slow drift” of our internal cognitive state.The neural signature is global, and it's an open question how the brain compensates to produce steady perception and action.

“Nature doesn't make farms, nature produces only jungles. But this doesn't mean that farming has to be against nature. A farming in complete harmony with nature is the concept of Ecological Farming.” Ecological Farming is the process of farming done by reviving natural ecology of the water and soil, by making them alive ecologically. We don't need to teach Nature or interfere with, in the domain of plants and animal rearing. Nature knows it very well and grows them better in absence of our interference. Thus in Ecological Farming, the focus is on reviving the water and soil to life and rest everything is done by Nature on its own. Cownomics – is the Vedic Science of Resuscitation of Native Ecology in Water, Soil & Air and therefore farming Ecologically in absolute harmony with Nature. In Vedic Science these three are called the key elements of life and therefore keeping them ALIVE was the primary source for exuberating life and enthralling economy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vaidicsrijan/message

Ndege (Birds) song by Waridi and Brenda. Africa has recorded 2,355 species of birds of birds making it a bird watching paradise to the bird watching enthusiasts and tourists. The birds in Africa occur everywhere from Lake Assal which is 156M below sea level to mt Kilimanjaro at 5,900M above sea level. Birds in Africa play an important social-cultural role through proverbs, riddles, stories and songs. Birds like the Blue swallow (Hirundo atrocaerulea) have been used by communities in western Kenya to predict the weather. Ecologically, birds play an important role as an indicator of the health of the environment because of their responsive to environmental changes In spite of the value they have to Africa and it's people, birds continue to face a number of threats namely: -Hunting and trapping -Habitat destruction -Poisoning -Climate change and severe weather -Illegal birds trade The onus is on each one of us to ensure birds habitats are protected, develop an interest in bird watching and lobby our respective national and local Governments do develop and enforce policies geared towards protecting birds habitats also encourage young people to develop interest in birding as a career either in tourism, sciences or the arts like Brenda and Waridi

Mildly-meditative, kind of relaxed state we move into when we’re near, in, on, or under water, or when we’re thinking about those things. There’s science backing up how water shifts our mental state, our emotional state, how it calms us and centers us, how it connects us to each other in the best possible ways, and even boosts creativity. Maintaining the Blue Mind State Prioritize your water time. Prioritize your down time. Understand what your body needs to restore May be sleep May be a long soaking bath May be a mindful shower May be a float spa - a sensory deprivation tank May be a weekend retreat to the lake, ocean, river, or mountains What is Red Mind? Our normal base state in modern society; you’re wired, you’re dialed in, you’re over-connected, you’re striving towards goals. While necessary if it’s all you have you will burn out. It affects our sleep, it affects our performance, it affects our relationships, it affects our physical wellbeing, and our emotional wellbeing. What is Grey Mind? When you’ve hit burn out stage by living only in Red Mind constantly. It’s just the burnt out, indifferent, numbed-out, disconnected, don’t care much about anything anymore state, mildly depressed, or even severely depressed. And we’ve all been there, too, where you’re just spent. And that may last an afternoon, it may last days, weeks, months, and even years. It’s the chronic social and psychological stress that just eats you up, that never goes away.

Lampung Province's experience in implementing forest tenure reform or Social Forestry (SF) program was discussed interactively through radio broadcast of RRI Pro 3 FM Bandarlampung, on 12 November 2017 at 19.30 - 20.00pm. The resource persons on the dialogue were Mr. Ir.Syaiful Bachri, MM (Head of Lampung Forestry Office), Ir. Warsito, MM (Working Group of Social Forestry Lampung), Ir Edi Kariza (WATALA), Dr. Tuti Herawati and Nining Liswanti (CIFOR's Global Comparative Study on Tenure Team). Ir.Syaiful Bachri stated that Lampung is a pioneer in the implementation of Social Forestry program in Indonesia, with progress of 184,000 ha of forest managed legally by 110,000 families. Social Forestry is a solution for better forest management as the philosophy of SF is cooperation between government in granting legitimate rights to community in managing forest land, and in the other hand the community helps government in rehabilitating and preserving forest area. The analysis of CIFOR's research team as described by Tuti Herawati indicates that Social Forestry program has a positive impact on the community's livelihood, since SF is main source of family income. Ecologically, SF in Lampung also has indicated a positive contribution in terms of increasing the amount of forest cover.

Forest Fires in B.C. Recent forest fires in British Columbia have once again raised the horror of forest fires to the top of the news feeds. The hot dry weather that has been a constant companion for the past few weeks has allowed the number of fires to escalate in the interior of British Columbia and has sky watchers in Alberta thankful for the good soaking we finally received after some record hot temps. B.C. has issued a state of Emergency due to the hundreds of forest fires and thousands of homes evacuated. This gives the province additional authority in times of emergency. The last time a province wide state of emergency was issued was in 2,003 which was another extreme year for fires. As of July 8, there were still 9 major fires burning out of control in the province. They were located throughout the dry interior and Caribou regions. Thousands had been evacuated with little time to grab personal belongings, or deal with animals and livestock. Numerous fires forced evacuations of the airport near Williams Lake. Firefighters are also arriving from numerous other provinces, police are moving inland from Vancouver and the military has been placed on standby to assist where possible. The Canadian Red Cross has also begun to accept donations to provide assistance to those affected by the fires and evacuations. They are also helping to supply bedding and cots to people displaced by the flames. In one day, on July 7, 142 new fires broke out across B.C. bringing the total to 182. By Monday, the number of fires had grown to 225. Some of the largest fires are burning near Princeton and Ashcroft. The Princeton fire swelled by a factor of 7 in just a few days. As of Saturday, July 8, it was engulfing some 1,500 hectares. The Ashcroft fire is more than 4,000 hectares in size. Cache Creek was also evacuated as a result of this fire. As the fire moved through Cache Creek, it burned two airport hangers and 30 homes in a Boston Flats trailer park. It also burned through the Ashcroft Indian Reserve. A 3,200 ha fire near 100 Mile House forced evacuation of the entire town on Sunday, July 10. To complicate matters, they had to drive through the night to make their way to Prince George as Kamloops was already inundated with people that had been displaced by other fires. The evacuation of 100 Mile House brought the number of evacuees in British Columbia to more than 14,000. For firefighters, it seems that every tiny bit of progress on one fire is countered by new outbreaks, changes in the winds or fires closing in on new communities. Williams Lake, a town of 10,500 now has fires closing in on three sides with a total of 5 fires burning in the area. Alberta fire crews are heading to B.C. to help with the firestorm and thankfully, many areas in Alberta got a good dousing of rain today. This should help reduce our hazard level and free up more firefighters to travel west. In an outpouring of generosity, Fort McMurry has reached out to help British Columbians. After enduring devastating fires last summer, the community is sending trailers full of bottled water, toiletries, medical supplies, food and fuel to Kamloops and Prince George. This time last summer, they were the people in desperate need of assistance. Fort Mac lost thousands of homes and resulted in one of the largest evacuations in Canadian history. The fire was so massive and unpredictable that it was dubbed "the beast". No matter what fire crews did, the fire seemed to thwart their efforts. Youtube videos showing the evacuation are absolutely terrifying as some 60,000 people tried to head out of town on Highway 63, only single highway leading into and out of fort McMurray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieTQvIdG-Vo Canadians take care of each other. The Red Cross is now taking donations to provide relief to displaced families in British Columbia. To donate you can simply text 'FIRES' to 45678 and you'll make a $10 donation to the Red Cross BC Fires Appeal. Cash is always the best way to donate. Goods are much more difficult to manage and involve larger logistic challenges. If you want to do more, hold a fundraiser and donate the proceeds to the Red Cross or another organization assisting in the locally affected areas. Please focus on cash as local agencies are already overwhelmed and unable to accept donations of clothing and toys. If you need to donate goods, contact local agencies and find out what they need before collecting materials and assuming there will be facilities and personnel to store and distribute it. Also, like Fort McMurray, the residents of affected areas will need help long after the flames have subsided. With changing climates, large fires are likely to become more explosive AND more prevalent. Even here in Alberta, while we are seeing more total moisture over the course of the year, we are seeing it in fewer, more extreme storms. Just today we ended a dry heatwave with a huge thunderstorm that produced prodigious amounts of precipitation. For days, we have been in a similar situation to our neighbours in B.C. but we dodged the bullet with the large downpouring of rain. As we look to the future, we also have to look at the changing climate realities. Longer droughts mean larger fires. Prescribed burns reduce the fuel available to potential fires, but they also provide natural fire breaks in the case of major fire seasons like this year, and 2003 which saw fires burning extensively through the Rockies. That summer huge fires burned around the Blairmore area in the Crowsnest Pass as well as a huge area of Kootenay National Park. At its peak, three fires converged near Vermillion Pass in Kootenay National Park and made a run for the Alberta border and the adjacent Bow Valley. It took heroic efforts by fire fighters to keep that fire from sweeping towards communities like Banff. It's time to look at stepping up our programs of prescribed burns to keep up with the changing realities of climate change. This summer, the mountain parks are planning a number of burns. There are numerous reasons for planning prescribed fires. They include improvement of wildlife or plant habitat, reduction of disease or invasive species, and most importantly at this time, they provide firebreaks and fuel reduction. Ecologically fire is essential to most mountain landscapes. If we look beyond the immediate danger, the role of forest fires on ecosystems is a key process that helps drive the ecology of the mountain west. While fire near communities is both inevitable and destructive, that's where fuel reduction and prescribed burns can help provide effective barriers to conflagrations like the current ones being experienced. Outside of communities, fire is a critical part of mountain ecological processes. In nature, any time there is a regular and inevitable disturbance, nature will learn to take advantage of it. That's why the two landscapes in the Rockies that we, as humans, see devastation…forest fire sites and avalanche slopes, nature sees opportunity. They are too of the most productive habitats in the mountain west. If we look at our local trees, many are particular fire adapted. Douglas-fir trees sport thick cork layers that allow them to survive all but the largest fires. Core samples from large Douglas-firs help fire ecologists to determine local fire histories often spanning centuries. Trembling aspen trees are a truly unique plant. One tree will grow from a seed. It will then send out roots horizontally just below the surface. Periodically they will emerge as new shoots or suckers. That's why if you have an aspen in your yard, every time you cut the lawn, you're cutting down newly sprouted suckers that will quickly take over your property if you don't stay on top of them. Clonal groves of aspen can be enormous, spanning hundreds of hectares, all representing a single organism, joined by a common root system. They are also some of the oldest living things. Although individual stems are not particularly long lived, the root systems can live for tens of thousands of years. One particular grove in Utah, in the Fishlake National Forest, is estimated to be some 80,000 years old…yowza. A single organism has been alive since long before humans made their way to the new world. Aspen groves living today could have witnessed the extinctions of the woolly mammoth. They could have witnessed the disappearance of the Neanderthal in Europe where their relatives also exhibit the same longevity. When a fire comes through, the shoots are killed, but the roots survive. Before long, they begin to send up new shoots to greet the new firescape. This brings us to the lodgepole pine. This common low elevation pine tree can't even reproduce on a large scale without the help of fire. Its cones are sealed with a hard wax that will only melt when the temperature reaches approximately 45 C. In this area, that means fire. It just doesn't get that hot…at least not yet. They've actually taken this adaptation to fire one step further. They have perfected something that most gardeners would kill for, they're a self-pruner. Any branch that doesn't get enough sunlight, they shut off the power and let that branch die. That does two things. It lets them operate more efficiently in a harsh climate, much like a lot of corporations these days…killing off the unprofitable branches. But it does one other thing; how much do you think it will take to light those dry, dead branches on fire? Not much. In a way, they've found a way to attract fire, and through death comes life, comes a new generation of lodgepole pines. This is a good strategy for lodgepole pines, and in the east, jack pines, because they can't live in any shade at all. Not even the shade of another lodgepole pine. If a fire doesn't shake things up every 90 to 130 years, eventually the shade tolerant white spruce will shade them out and they'll disappear. About this time, people say, "but what about the animals…we've all seen Bambi". In reality, Bambi was not very realistic. Very few animals die in forest fires. A natural fire is not like a tsunami of death. It moves more like a tornado. It leaves almost as much unburnt as it burns. To fly over a natural fire, you will see something that looks like a patchwork quilt of burned and unburned areas. It moves much more like a tornado than a wave of destruction. It is a very chaotic movement. If you watch coverage from the Fort McMuray fires of 2016, you're constantly struck by the fact that while communities were devastated, individual homes somehow survived in the middle of the conflagration. Animals take advantage of this pathwork character and pick their way between the burned and unburned areas to stay away from the flames. However, imagine life as a common animal, a red squirrel. Now imagine spending your life chewing open the rock hard cones of the lodgepole pine, trying to get at the few seeds that are inside; it's a whole lot of work for a few seeds. But suddenly, as those flames flicker out, for as far as the eye can see, the ground is covered with millions upon millions of juicy, tasty, succulent, chewy seeds. They'll move back into that fire site as fast as their little legs can carry them, and hot on their tails will be every other seed eating bird and animal, and they'll have the biggest feeding frenzy they'll ever have in their lives…but even at their best, they can't eat all those seeds. At the same time, before the trees even stop smoldering, hundreds of large black beetles will descend on the scene. These are the white-spotted sawyer beetle. They're several centimetres in length and then they have antennae that are as long as their body. I don't care how tough you are, if you look at your shoulder and see one of these beetles, you scream like a school girl. These are wood boring beetles and they lay their eggs in the newly burned wood. Well beetles don't arrive in a vacuum. Hot on their trail will be an in migration of woodpeckers. The woodpecker population can increase by 500% following a forest fire as the woodpeckers are attracted to the insects that are attracted to the dead wood. Well, what do woodpeckers do to trees? They bore holes in them. Those holes are what many of our native songbirds need to nest and so the songbird population also increases after a forest fire. On the ground, for the first time in perhaps a hundred years, sunlight bakes the forest floor. This will spur an explosion of wildflowers, followed by a larger explosion of new shrubs and trees. This new growth is the food the animals most people visiting the mountains are here to see. The word moose, is an Algonkian native term that literally translates to 'twig eater'. They need the new twigs, the new growth that comes in after a forest fire. In Montana, they did a study of grizzly bears and they found that of the foods important to grizzlies, almost all were more common in areas that regularly had fire, which simply means more bears in areas that regularly burn. This includes buffaloberries which represent the single most important food to black and grizzly bears in the Rockies. They have just ripened locally and they line most low elevation trails and roads. Expect closures as bears are attracted to these critical foods. An adult grizzly can eat the equivalent of 75 Big Macs a day for the next 6 weeks. Fire makes fat bears. Fire is as much a part of our mountain landscape as bears, berries, glaciers and global warming. As communities, they are our greatest fear and our hearts go out to our British Columbia brothers and sisters. However in the larger ecosystem they are critical. As we look towards a future of changing climatic norms, we need to carefully consider the role fire will play in this changing landscape. Prescribed burns can allow fuel to burn on our schedule rather than that of the fickle finger of fate. For the past 30 years the mountain west has been slowly ramping up the use of prescribed fires in order to improve habitat, reduce the rate that invasive species can move and in this story, most importantly, reduce the likelihood of large fires sweeping through our communities. We really need to support our B.C. neighbours as fire terrorizes their communities at the moment. They will need our help for some time to come. At the same time, we need to also realize that fire is an integral part of our landscape. We can't stop it without compromising the ecology that has evolved over millions of years around fire created ecosystems.
The 'Redesigning Society Podcast' includes guests such as Gregg Braden, Geoff Lawton, Rupert Sheldrake, Michael Tellinger, Fred Alan Wolf, Ellen Brown, Greg Carlwood and Max Igan. It captures expert perspectives on the current state of societal affairs, as well as the collective change we desperately need both philosophically and practically. It also aims to amplify mainstream engagement in how we should globally move forward for ourselves and our future generations. An Interview with Rupert Sheldrake Rupert is a British scientist who has worked in developmental biology and consciousness studies. He is an active researcher, author and public speaker and has been a leading voice in pointing out the dogmas that are restricting contemporary science. His latest book Science Set Free (US version) or The Science Delusion (UK version) shows how the sciences could be liberated from the dogmas of materialism and regenerated. In this episode Rupert first focuses on the philosophical bias that has severely impacted the worldview heralded by science today. He points out that many of his scientist colleagues have different beliefs then what they admit publicly and then moves onto some of the parapsychological research that scientifically shows that the mind is interwoven with the external world. He also briefly discusses his own theory of ‘morphic fields’, which he believes explains how the mind projects into the external world, why “memory is inherent nature” and that “most of the so-called laws of nature are more like habits”. The Verdict The demise of materialism has been reinforced by contradictory evidence, as well as its epic failure to explain what consciousness actually is, at what point matter becomes ‘alive’ and why the human mind and its intangibilities have a direct impact on the external world, including the human body. The reality is we are now transforming into a philosophical worldview which is actually a rebirth of ancient wisdom. In very simple terms, this understanding accepts that consciousness or mind plays a fundamental and co-creating role in our interconnected and ‘life-full’ reality. The perception of the interconnectedness of life can also be viewed through various prisms. Ecologically, we are interdependent with all life on earth. Science clearly illustrates it. We can also refer to various spiritual and tribal traditions which have advocated for eons that we are one and the same at our core. Therefore, this wisdom is not just making a passionate resurgence through the opening of individual minds and hearts to spiritual experiences – such as psi phenomena, synchronicity and symbolism – but it’s also making an evidence-based comeback through the information that has emerged from the quantum, psychological and parapsychological fields.
Dr. Nicole Apelian joins us to share about her experience living with Lions and the San Bushmen in southern Africa. Nicole is a scientist, mother, educator, researcher, expeditionary leader, safari guide, herbalist and traditional skills instructor. Nicole’s background is as diverse as it is impressive. She has worked as a game warden with the US Peace Corps, spent time tracking and researching lions in southern Africa and she’s developed strong relationships with the San Bushmen tribe through years of living and working with them. A passionate educator, she currently leads yearly tracking & bird language expeditions through the Kalahari alongside the Naro Bushmen. Nicole continues her work with the San Bushmen to help them find strategies to preserve their traditions and is currently cataloging indigenous plant uses with a community of Naro Bushmen who regard her as family. In this episode, Nicole gives us a peek inside the world of the San Bushmen tribe. We learn who they are, how they structure their tribe, how the relationships between men and women work and how they raise their babies. She also shares some of the horrific obstacles they’ve faced over the years and how they’re recovering today. Our conversation traverses a myriad of fascinating topics. We discuss what it’s like living with a predator, cultural appropriation and the romanticizing of the hunter-gatherer lifeway, Nicole’s time spent surviving alone in the wilderness, the future of modern day indigenous tribes living in their traditional lifeway and much, much more.

Beaver (Castor canadensis), have been kicking around in North America for 2 million years. Ecologically they do all sorts of great things: their ponds ease flooding downstream, and support large numbers of bird species, fish, amphibians, and otters. They're what's called a keystone species, as in the keystone to an entire eco-system. But they're also the world's second largest rodent and a nightmare for property owners. Humans and beavers have a long history together because they like to live in the same places, but the way we've built our infrastructure has almost guaranteed our two species will be locked in eternal conflict.

Today's show is another remarkable story of another entrepreneur, a permaculture entrepreneur. It's the story of someone who went from being an anti-money activist to running a $1M permaculture design and build business. A business that catches millions of gallons of water, builds soil on hundreds of acres, plants hundreds of useful trees every year, restores native habit, redesigns our cites our schools and new developments. It is a success story that is 10 years in the making. And one was almost derailed a few times along the way. But just like with Harland Sanders, it was persistence and a strong belief in what he was doing that allowed my guest today, Erik Ohlsen of Permaculture Artisans, to continue his vision and build it into a $1M design business. If you don't think that permaculture based business can be profitable or be big, here's an example of one to change your mind... Learn more at permaculturevoices.com/cd6

Joel talks a lot about how young people can get into farming by establishing synergistic relationships with older farmers as he tries to dispel the big belief that you need land to farm. He touches on the farming business and how conventional farmers can start to transition to a perennial based agricultural system.Key Takeaways from this Episode:Convert a little bit of acres at a time, when converting a large amount of land from an annual based system to a perennial based system. Converting a corn, soybean operation over to grassfed beef. It would take a year to plant the grass, an d it would take another year to come into production. You could start grazing it the second year and 3 years out you would be making more money per acre than you would on corn and beans.Possibly sell some land to get yourself enough wiggle room to convert your farm over to a more regenerative agriculture system.Prune off enterprises that don't work. Maybe you can't figure them out. It doesn't fit your marketbase or your unfair advantage. Each enterprise has to carry its own weight.Beware of the enslavement of highly capitalized infrastructure. Too often that infrastructure controls the decision making process for right or wrong due to the amount of money invested into it.Use in place infrastructure to help transition to a perennial polyculture. That equipment is already in place. Make use of it.Take the Stephen Covey approach. Control your own sphere of influence. This episode of the podcast is the audio from an interview that I did with Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm back on May 22, 2013 in Big Bear Lake, CA. Show Notes: www.permaculturevoices.com/19
Host Kathy Sipple speaks with Paul Quinlan, Stewardship Program Manager at the Shirley Heinze Land Trust. The Trust works to protect and restore ecologicaly significant natural areas in Northwest Indiana. Since its inception in 1981, they have acquired for preservation over 1,100 acres of natural land surrounding southern Lake Michigan, including 900 acres they own outright, 100 acres held as conservation easements and 30 acres transferred to the National Park Service and Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Paul Quinlan earned an M.S. in Environmental and Forest Biology from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. He previously worked for the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission. Paul has been the Stewardship Program Manager since December 2002. Facebook Twitter
Ecologically, the past is always present if you know where and how to look. Paleontologist-biologist-artist Laura Cunningham spent 20 years exploring California's archives and relic lands to reconstruct exactly what life used to look like here over the past 10,000 years. Her beautiful images and her insights about long-period ecological change are collected in her new book, A STATE OF CHANGE: Forgotten Landscapes of California. Like many regions, California is busy restoring portions of the natural environment to previous conditions---native meadows, riparian woodlands, salt marshes, old-growth forests, along with the animals that used to populate them. But there is no static past to restore TO. With Cunningham's guidance we can choose to restore to a particular period: say, before the white invasion; or, during the Medieval Warm Period; or, before the human invasion; or, during the Ice Ages. With her inspiration, we can begin to envisage the ecological changes coming over the next 10,000 years.
An interesting question was raised in the forums this week. It was regarding an Ecologically friendly reef/fish tank.
