Podcasts about trees

This week is all about setting up for Christmas and oil-soaked food. On the gaming front Trees has finally 100 percent completed Maneater, DLC and all, as well as rounding out the end of Picross Sega. The real highlight is the new CMS 2021 DLC that includes Jaguars and Pugatis. Fred has been continuing to enjoy Final Fantasy VII Remake and taking his RPG interests to a whole new level with the tabletop game Hero Quest (yes, that one from the early 90s) and the PC indie darling Wildermyth.

In Edible-Alpha® podcast #101, FFI's Brad Rostowfske interviews Bree Breckel and Eric Weninger of B&E's Trees, a certified-organic maple farm near Viroqua, Wisconsin. Along with tapping trees, the couple makes a value-added product, B&E's Trees Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup, and is launching a new consumer-facing brand, Embark Maple. When Bree and Eric bought their 184-acre farm in 2011, their main goal was to live off the grid while doing fulfilling physical work outdoors. If they could make and sell enough maple syrup to pay the mortgage, they'd be happy. But when their first go at it, in 2012, happened to be the worst maple syrup season on record in Wisconsin, they realized they needed a value-added component. So in 2013, they began collaborating with local Central Waters Brewing, which provides B&E's Trees with bourbon barrels to age their syrup in for two years, then uses the maple-soaked barrels to age its Maple Barrel Stout. As their business took off, Bree and Eric realized they wanted to remain a family-sized farm and keep doing the physical labor they loved. So, with about 5,000 taps in their trees, they stepped up their partnerships with other local farmers, businesses, and retailers to add more resilience to their supply chain and business model. When the COVID-19 pandemic sidelined their usual travel and events plans, Bree and Eric pivoted into another value-added project. Years prior, Eric had the genius idea of offering maple syrup in resealable, packable pouches for adventure races and endurance events. Suddenly having more bandwidth, the two set to work creating the product and building a brand around it: Embark Maple Energy. In doing so they created two separate-but-intertwined business models that are running as two separate entities: B&E Tress remains the farm name and all of their products, including their bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup, is branded as Embark. Business structure aside, the team is now focused on bringing the Embark brand, and its new adventure packs, to life. As such, Bree and Eric attended several races to hand out prototypes, network, and build brand awareness for Embark. Revenue from their Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup has carried the business through these hiccups during a pandemic launch period, underscoring the benefits of a diversified business model. As for funding, Bree and Eric had received a value-added producer grant (VAPG) to propel their brand-building efforts just before the pandemic hit. They had to pivot their spending of that money, which actually proved beneficial by helping them streamline their marketing and communications. Wrapping up, Bree and Eric discuss navigating their finances through a year where things didn't go as planned. They share a few lessons they've learned while scaling their business and offer advice for other farmers exploring adding value to their farm and launching consumer-facing brands.

Setting up and decorating your Christmas tree every year is a lot of work. So opting for artificial trees instead is a time saver. Not to mention, a fake tree can end up saving you quite a bit of money if you use it year after year. But, are artificial Christmas trees safe to have in your home? The short answer is no. And I'll explain why. You'll probably be surprised by my stance in the real versus fake tree debate, so you're definitely not going to want to miss this one. || LINKS | Full Show Notes - https://darinolien.com/artificial-christmas-trees-fatal-conveniences/

We began this season with a declaration; we would be covering fitness through the very particular lens of motor skill acquisition.  As it's been a couple months since episode one dropped, let's define skill again; the consistent achievement of a goal, under a variety of conditions, with an economy of effort.  Thus far we've spent a good amount of time talking about approaching our workouts with a strategic intent on varying conditions and using them to achieve different gym goals. Now let's focus on the last part; economy of effort.  What do we mean by economy of effort?  We're talking about efficiency.  What comes to mind when you think of movement efficiency? Squeezing all of our muscles as hard as we can for the entire workout?  What if doing that actually inhibited movement and minimized the application of force?  Would that be efficient? Efficiency in the way we move, efficiency in reducing excessive levels of joint stresses and even efficiency in achieving our goals, are all factors that we should consider when designing exercises and workouts. In this episode we go deep into uncovering aspects of things we can do in the gym to facilitate our progress, or potentially hinder it.  How? Why?  Well, you'll have to listen to find out!  Along the way we'll also cover what we can learn from research on the topic, and of course, what really matters in terms of applications you can try yourself the next time in the gym.  In this episode we discuss: Neuromuscular states of co-contraction and their effects on movement What we're really observing when someone is shaking on an unstable surface The difference between generating force and applying force when it comes to strength Tri-phasic emg patterns and what that implies about reciprocal inhibition The drastic difference body position has on joint forces when doing a lunge!   Glossary: Co-Contraction - A neuromuscular state in which more than one muscle around a joint contracts Impulse - The aggregate of all forces throughout a range of motion of performing a task Movement efficiency - Movement that is smooth, fluid and performed with an economy of effort Strength application - The ability of the neuromuscular system to generate and apply force to an object Tri-Phasic EMG pattern -  A neuromuscular phenomenon that happens during a movement task in which the agonist muscle fires, followed by the antagonist, then a final re-activation of the agonist References Hofmann, C.L., Holyoak, D.T. and Juris, P.M. (2017). Trunk and shank position influences patellofemoral joint stress in the lead and trail limbs during the forward lunge exercise.

There have been big promises about tree-planting numbers over the last few years - but is there much point in planting more trees, if we're not looking after the ones we've already got? The Woodland Trust estimates that only 7% of the UK's native woodlands are in good ecological condition - with pests, diseases, climate change and development all threats to tree health. Meanwhile a report from Botanic Gardens Conservation International says that a third of the world's trees are at risk of extinction. In this programme, Peter Gibbs finds out what's ailing our trees, and asks what can be done to nurse them back to health. He talks to scientists, campaigners and the government's Chief Plant Health Officer, and finds out about a project where researchers are on the hunt for trees with natural resistance to ash dieback, which may be able to re-populate the ash woodlands of the future. He also visits a 'research forest' in the Midlands, where scientists are piping extra carbon dioxide at some of their trees, to find out what the impact of rising CO2 levels is likely to be for trees in years to come.

Here, Lav serves up a dosage of 'experimental metal' with the 2003 debut from British Prog band 'SikTh'. It's undeniable this band and the sounds they created went on to influence some of the biggest metal acts in the mid-2010's, so were they before their time? Were people just not ready for the frankly bonkers sounds created for this album? Join us as we explore this wild one and realise just how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Hope is necessary for life. It's hope that makes it possible to get up tomorrow morning, put your feet on the floor, and take a step. Hope is the belief that in the end, everything is going to be okay, and if it's not okay, it's not the end. We need hope, and Christmas provides it in surprising ways, as surprising as the gifts the magi brought to the holy family. Christmas is proof that God is still working, just as he promised through the prophet Isaiah. And hope is why NOW is the time for God's people to build houses, start families, and plant trees. Preacher: Andrew Forrest Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6, Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11 References:

The mellow fruitfulness of Autumn has been heralded by the subtle change in temperature and darker mornings and evenings in the garden. For Lucy Chamberlain and Saul Walker this starts one of their favourite times of year as Lucy's vegetable patch is at maximum yield producing food for East Donyland Hall and Saul revels in the changing colours in the canopies of his precious treescape at Stonelands. So join us throughout the season as we bring tales of crispy leaves, hibernating plants and plenty of pumpkins!Whether you love formal or informal, evergreen or deciduous, large or small - hedges play an intrinsic role in our gardens. There is a hedging plant to suit all gardens, tastes and budgets but it's crucial to put some thought into exactly what and how you want to plant, to ensure the hedge meets your specific needs. Saul and Lucy muse on what would be their hedging masterclass.Twitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulLucy @HeadGardenerLCIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Dante and Nia talk being defeated by the password, social media panics poops, accidental dieting, good communication tools, a verbal optical illusion, giving new Aunt Vivs a chance, $1.25 Trees, and MORE!

My guest today is harpist Tiffany Schaefer. Tiffany is a harp teacher and performer based in Ohio. During our chat we discussed the Ohio Scottish Arts School, or OSAS for short, and how, “music is bringing people together and [how] it is ageless that way.” Tiffany grew up in a musical family and started playing the harp in 2007. Her involvement in OSAS and The Scottish Harp Society of America (SHSA) brought her into the world of Scottish traditional music.The first harp album she found in her local library was by Sue Richards and she became inspired by Sue's playing. You could imagine Tiffany's surprise when Sue was one of her adjudicators at her first OSAS's harp competition! We talk about many of the amazing harpists who have inspired her, many of whom have been interviewed on this podcast folks like: Rachel Hair, Corrina Hewat, Kim Robertson and more...make sure to check out those episodes in our archives.On competition: Although it can be nerve wracking, “It's a great way to work toward something and get some feedback from people who know what they are talking about.”Tiffany is passionate about creating community, something that we here at HarpSong™️ and Moon Over the Trees are as well. Tiffany's hope for her free FB group, “Mastering Celtic Music”, is that it will, “grow into a hub for Celtic music and all different kinds of instrumentalists...not just harpists.” You can also check out her Patreon page for classes, and arrangements for the harp. On performing:Tiffany performs as a soloist and accompanies her own singing and storytelling. Right now she has two ensembles, one plays Renaissance and Baroque repertoire and the other is an Irish Traditional group called, Creggane. Check out her youtube page for more information.

Today I'm excited for you to meet an extraordinary artist from Sonoma County, California. His name is Adam Wolpert. For quite a few years, Adam has been involved in painting the local landscape, but lately, which caught my attention, his art shifted. Not only did it become bigger, but it became simpler. Now it is mostly just about trees.  Every time his work takes a quantum leap forward, I am always excited to catch up with him to learn why. What just happened? How is it possible these paintings have become so so powerful?  At first blush, if you are just listening, the subject seems fairly straight up but not once you see these paintings. They have been realized from countless hours standing beneath trees, paying attention, listening, thinking, and quietly observing.

This week we're talking trees, from Kew Gardens to Dame Judi Dench's back garden. Join hosts Matt Winning and Mark Maslin as they chat to Prof Mat Disney about measuring trees, and to Craig Bennett, CEO of Wildlife Trusts about the importance of biodiversity, and how the UK is ‘beaver ready'. Listen now to hear about a NASA app that allows you to measure trees around you and assess how much carbon they can hold. We also chat about the UK climate, how wildlife is on a decline and what needs to be done now to undo the damage.

Robert Penn describes himself as a journalist, woodsman and lifelong cyclist, who has written some of the best craft-based books of recent years, including It's All About the Bike, where he travelled the globe finding the best components with which to build his dream bicycle, and The Man Who Made things out of Trees, which told the tale of what he did with an ash tree that he felled in some nearby woods. The titles tell a personal story, which Penn deftly combines with a broader history and, sometimes, a bit of science. But, really, they are all about the importance of making. His latest is no different. A little like Ronseal, Slow Rise: A Bread Making Adventure, does exactly what it says on the tin. It has been described by writer, Jenny Linford, as ‘a wide-ranging, gloriously obsessive odyssey'.Robert lives in the Black Mountains with his wife, three children, two spaniels, 12 bicycles and a collection of axes. He bakes his own bread in a wood-fired oven. In this episode we talk about: writing a book devoted to bread; his fascination with the ordinary things that surround us; how a three-year, around-the-world cycling trip piqued his interest in baking; the relationship between bread and power; ploughing his own field with a horse; searching the globe for the right wheat seeds; seeking divine intervention; our obsession with white bread; and how industrial farming took such a wrong turn.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/materialmatters?fan_landing=true)

The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was like a cosmic reset button. It killed off most of the life on Earth, which made it possible for modern life to take control. The asteroid was a few miles in diameter. It hit off the coast of Mexico 66 million years ago. It caused a massive tsunami, plus a firestorm that blacked out the Sun and created acid rains across the entire planet. About three-quarters of all the plant and animal species died off — in both land and sea. On land, dinosaurs and other big animals died off quickly. That let small mammals begin to dominate the landscape. A couple of recent studies have found other changes that followed the mass extinction. One study says it destroyed almost half the vegetation in the Amazon rainforest. It took millions of years to redevelop. Trees with thin canopies, which allow dense vegetation to grow at the surface, were replaced by flowering trees with much thicker canopies. That transformed the rainforest's appearance. A study in September said that snakes profited from the changes as well. Many of them were able to remain underground, without food, for up to a year at a time. As conditions improved, they returned to the surface. With most life eradicated, there was less competition for limited food supplies. So snakes multiplied, evolved, and spread out across the planet — beneficiaries of a global catastrophe.

Anna and Annie discuss The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak.  Shafak is an award-winning Turkish-British novelist whose previous novel 10 Minutes, 38 Seconds in This Strange World was short-listed for the Booker Prize.  We loved this latest novel set in Cyprus and London and featuring a sassy fig tree.

Author Elif Shafak struggled at first with how to write her new book, The Island of Missing Trees. The story she wanted to tell is about a family from Cyprus, a Mediterranean island that was the center of a conflict in the 1970s, but she didn't want the story to be about tribalism or nationalism. Which is why, Shafak told NPR's Steve Inskeep, much of the story is told from the perspective of a fig tree

If you're new, welcome! If you're not, welcome back! This week we spoke with Martin Bouchard who is a professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Simon Fraser University. We ask Martin about the social nature of gangs and gang members. He tells us why he thinks gangs are a very social and not necessarily anti-social phenomenon. Martin then discusses the network analysis method and why it may be useful for the study of crime. We then discuss a paper Martin wrote discussing the ways in which network analysis can aid in the study of organized crime.  Martin has published in journals such as Journal of Quantitative Criminology, Justice Quarterly, and Global Crime. You can find him on Twitter @MBouchardCrim. You can find us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @TheCrimAcademy. Please visit our website www.thecriminologyacademy.com.

Palmyra Atoll is a ring-shaped island encircling a lagoon in the South Pacific. The atoll lost many native trees due to U.S. military activity during World War II. Conservationists have worked to restore the ecosystem. Seabirds such as Black Noddies and Red-footed Boobies nest in the island's rainforest. Their guano enriches the soil, and the soil's nutrients help support the coral ecosystem that provides fish for the birds. Learn more at BirdNote.org.
