[00:00:00] Beth Vukmanic: Sustainable farming practices are essential to protect the environment, improve a long-term agricultural productivity and support healthy communities. [00:00:08] Welcome to Marketing Tip Monday with SIP Certified. We know that customers are looking for wines labeled as sustainable. While our longer form episodes help you learn about the latest science and research for the wine industry, these twice monthly micro podcasts will help you share your dedication to sustainable wine growing. [00:00:27] And this week's marketing tip, we're going to take a close look at three areas where regenerative farming practices make a big impact, including water management, soil health, and habitat preservation, [00:00:39] let's kick it off with water management. Water is one of agriculture's most critical resources. Sustainable farmers work carefully to both use water efficiently and protect quality. Anyone who has struggled to keep a plant alive knows that plants don't like too little or too much water and wine. Grapes are no different. [00:00:57] Regenerative farming practices incorporate moisture sensing technologies to help farmers determine irrigation needs when placed in the soil. These devices estimate how much water is available to the plant, and farmers can use this information to avoid both over and under watering their crops. [00:01:13] When it comes to rain, there's a greater impact than just irrigating the grapevines. Heavy rains can pull sediment, nutrients, and other farm inputs into neighboring water bodies. This causes imbalances in the water body ecosystem and could threaten the life within it. [00:01:28] Plant matter can remedy these issues. Roots of living plants spread underground act as a filter that holds sediment in place. Preventing it from exiting the property. Vegetation above ground slows water down as it travels and eases the impact of rain as it hits the ground. Furthering the anti erosion benefits. [00:01:46] The next time you drive past a vineyard, take a look at the plants growing in between the vine rows. Those cover crops are help protecting waterways. [00:01:55] Now let's talk about soil health. Healthy soil is the foundation for a thriving farm and a resilient ecosystem. Sustainable practices aim to keep soils rich in nutrients full of life and resistant to erosion for years to come, [00:02:08] rather than relying on guesswork. Farmers committed to sustainability conduct regular soil tests. This helps them make nutrient management plans that supply the plants with the food that they need without over applying fertilizer [00:02:22] and back to those cover crops. Healthy soils have a lot of life in them. Microbes, fungi and bacteria are key players in decomposition, helping to convert and transport nutrients that are vital to a healthy plant. [00:02:35] While cover crops are a fantastic way to enhance soil biodiversity, their benefits extend even further. They can provide refuge for beneficial insects, prevent erosion and improve water infiltration. [00:02:48] Let's talk about habitat preservation. The influence of farming extends beyond the fence line. Regenerative farmers recognize that their land is part of a larger ecosystem. Protecting natural habitats and promoting biodiversity are key components of responsible land management. Many farmers set aside areas of their property to remain wild or minimally disturbed. [00:03:09] These spaces serve as important refuges for wildlife and help preserve native plant and animal species beyond simply leaving areas undeveloped. Sustainable farmers often actively work to create and maintain habitats that encourage a diversity of species, including pollinators and beneficial insects. [00:03:28] They may also take special measures. To protect endangered species where applicable. [00:03:33] All of these regenerative practices are incorporated into the SIP Certified program.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 382-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 19,861 on turnover of $8.6-billion N-T. The market ended the day down on Thursday, as the market fell into consolidation mode amid lingering concerns by investors about the impact of U-S tariffs on Taiwan's semiconductor industry. Taiwan FM and King unveil oil reserve facility project in Eswatini Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung and Eswatini's King Mswati III have jointly presided over an unveiling ceremony for an oil reserve facility project Taiwan will build to enhance the energy resilience of its ally. Lin attended the ceremony marking The Strategic Oil Reserve Facility project as part of his ongoing visit to Eswatini. According to Taiwan's embassy in Eswatini, the oil reserve facility project is expected to be completed in three years and will ensure a 60-day fuel reserve for the kingdom. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says prior to (之前) attending the oil reserve facility project ceremony, Lin presented a letter from Lai and cows as gifts while meeting the king and queen mother. The foreign minister in the kingdom this week as a special envoy for President Lai Ching-te to pariticpate in the king's 57th birthday celebrations. Vegetation in Yangmingshan fire could take 1 year to recover The Ministry of the Interior says a fire that destroyed some 4.5 hectares of vegetation in Taipei's Yangmingshan could take about a year to recover. The fire broke out on April 14 near the Xiao-You-Keng Recreation Area and burned for about five hours - destroying silvergrass and portions of the Yangmingshan National Park's arrow bamboo forest. No deaths or injuries were reported. Authorities have said the fire was likely caused by air quality monitoring equipment belonging to the National Science and Technology Council installed at the site. Besides the vegetation, the fire also damaged various amenities (設施), including ropes, sand-filled barriers and several wooden posts along the forest trail. Total estimated damage caused by the fire is being put at between 1.7 and 1.8-million N-T. NATO chief in Washington for talks Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte is in Washington for talks with senior members of the Trump administration as Ukraine peace talks are stalling (停滯).

Vatican Keeps Basilica Open Overnight for Mourners The Vatican kept the doors St. Peter's Basilica open overnight, as lines of mourners waited to pay their last respects (致敬) to the pope. Officials closed the basilica for just an hour and a half Thursday morning for cleaning, and by the evening that day, the Vatican says more than 90,000 people had paid their respects. After three days of public viewing, a funeral Mass including heads of state will be held Saturday in St. Peter's Square. The pope will then be buried in St. Mary Major Basilica, near his favorite Madonna icon. Namibia New President Announces Free Education Changes New Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has announced that her government will introduce free education at state universities and technical colleges starting next year. Nandi-Ndaitwah was sworn in as Namibia's first female leader last month. Namibia already provides free education in public elementary and high schools, though parents still typically have to pay for school uniforms, stationery, books, and hostel fees. There have been calls for years for all levels of education to be subsidized (補貼的) by the government in the country of around 3 million people in southern Africa. Two of Namibia's seven universities are state run and will offer free education under the policy. That was the I.C.R.T.

Seit Jahrzehnten kämpfen die Sahraouis, das Volk der Westsahara, für ihren eigenen, unabhängigen Staat in der «letzten Kolonie Afrikas», der Westsahara. Gegen einen Gegner, der andere Pläne hat: Marokko. Es ist einer jener Konflikte, die die Welt fast vergessen hat. Gelöst ist er bei weitem nicht. «Es gibt ganz offensichtlich Menschen, die mehr wert sind als andere». Der Ingenieur Lehbib Mahjoub Abdelfatah sagt diesen Satz, ein bisschen verärgert und vielleicht auch verbittert. Wovon er spricht? Vom Wunsch seines Volkes, dass die Einhaltung des Völkerrechts nicht der «Realpolitik» weicht. Seit rund einem halben Jahrhundert lebt ein Grossteil der Sahraouis im Exil im Südwesten Algeriens, angeführt vom Frente Polisario, der politisch-militärischen Organisation der Sahraouis. Sie leben in einer der unwirtlichsten Gegenden der Welt: Wüste, so weit das Auge blicken kann, kaum Wasser, kaum Vegetation. Die Menschen hier sind Flüchtlinge, einst geflohen vor der Armee Marokkos, das einen Grossteil ihres angestammten Gebietes besetzte: der Westsahara. Seither warten die Sahraouis darauf, dass sie zu ihrem Recht kommen: dem Recht, selbst darüber bestimmen zu dürfen, ob sie in der Westsahara ihren eigenen Staat errichten oder zu Marokko gehören wollen. Sie warten. Und bereiten sich vor. Auf den Tag der Unabhängigkeit, den sie einst nahe glaubten, und der inzwischen weit in die Ferne gerückt ist. Augenschein in den sahraouischen Flüchtlingslagern in Algerien, bei Menschen, die ohne fremde Hilfe nicht überleben können, für die aber Aufgeben auch keine Option ist.

Maurice Enriquez-Sarano, MD, FACC JACC: Case Reports Associate Editor, is joined by author Emmanuel Daniel, MD, discussing this study from Daniel et al presented at ACC.25 and published in JACC: Case Reports. Large lead-associated vegetations carry a significant risk of pulmonary embolism with hemodynamic instability when transvenous lead extraction is attempted. In this case, a 54-year-old male came to the hospital with fever and dyspnea. He was found to have MSSA bacteremia and a large RV lead vegetation on echo. He had multiple co-morbidities and was a high-risk surgical candidate. He underwent successful vegetation aspiration using the Flowtriever system, followed by endovascular lead extraction.

Wir richten unseren Blick in die Neue Welt, zumindest in eine Zeit und ein Setting, in dem dieser Begriff noch zutreffender war, als er es heute ist. Es ist die Zeit, in der die Engländer diese neue Welt entdecken, erforschen und sie sich vor allem zu eigen machen wollen, also schätzen wir den zeitlichen Rahmen auf das frühe 17. Jahrhundert, obwohl genaue Zahlen im Roman nicht genannt werden, aufgrund der Umschreibungen nicht nötig sind und wir als Leserin die Handlungen auch anhand der Beschreibungen – zumindest nach und nach – einordnen können.In Lauren Groffs Die weite Wildnis begleiten wir ein Mädchen, vielleicht kann sie auch als junge Frau bezeichnet werden – ihr Alter liegt zwischen 16 und 18, so genau weiß das keiner – die als Teil einer Gruppe englischer Siedler die noch unbekannte neue Welt erreicht. Sie gehört zur Gefolgschaft ihrer Dienstherrin, welche mit ihrem zweiten Ehemann, einem Pfarrer, sowie ihrem Sohn Kit und ihrer Tochter Bess aus erster Ehe reist. Unsere Protagonistin selbst, die von ihrer Herrin mit vier oder fünf Jahren aus dem Waisenhaus adoptiert wurde, trägt den Namen Lamentatio, der genauso eine Beleidigung ist, wie die anderen Namen die man sie ruft, doch oft wird sie im Roman auch einfach nur das Mädchen genannt. Sie war Dienstmädchen, in einem einst liberalen und großzügigen Künstlerhaushalt und kümmerte sich voller Herzblut um Bess, die Tochter ihrer Dienstherrin, die zwar nicht der geistigen Entwicklung ihres Alters entsprach, dafür umso feiner und schützenswerter war und für das Mädchen wie eine Tochter war. Mit Bess' Tod endet auch die Zeit, die das Mädchen bei ihrer Adoptivfamilie im Fort der englischen Siedler verbringt, welches ohnehin mittlerweile von Hunger, Gewalt, Kälte und Tod geprägt ist.Den genauen Grund der Flucht des Mädchens, mit nichts als dem Nötigsten, erfahren wir als Leserin, das darf an dieser Stelle schon erwähnt werden, aber erst kurz vor Ende des Romans. Vielmehr ist man von Anfang mit der Protagonistin in Bewegung, weg aus dem Fort und hinein in den Wald und immer Richtung Norden, wo sie eine französische Siedlung vermutet, von der sie sich Schutz verspricht. Doch bis es soweit ist, sind die weite Wildnis, wie es im Titel heißt und der Wald das zu Hause des Mädchens.Die Natur bildet dabei das prägnante Motiv in Lauren Groffs Roman. Sie symbolisiert einerseits das Unbekannte in Form eines neuen Kontinents, damit einhergehend einer neuen Umgebung und neuer Vegetation, neuer Lebensumstände und Möglichkeiten. Andererseits, wirft sie den Mensch bzw. in unserem Fall das Mädchen auf sich selbst zurück. Die Natur stellt also die Frage nach dem Selbst, da das Mädchen auf ihrer Flucht fast vollständig den Gegebenheiten der Natur unterworfen ist und es schafft, sich anzupassen, herauszufinden, was sie ohne Schaden essen kann, wie und wo sie unter schlüpfen kann, um die Nacht und viel mehr die Kälte und Nässe zu überleben. Schließlich wird ihr bewusst, dass sie die Natur zu kennen glaubte, was ein Irrglaube war, der sich nun aber ins Gegenteil verkehrt, denn nun lernt sie in ihr zu leben. Dies steht im krassen Gegensatz zu den Besiedlern, die sich das neue Land unterwerfen wollen, die Wälder roden, Siedlungen bauen und eher für Zerstörung als Bewahrung stehen. Was durchaus als klarer Verweis auf unsere heutige Zeit gelesen werden kann und sollte. Auch die Dankbarkeit und Wertschätzung des Mädchens gegenüber allem, das sie aus der Natur nimmt, verweist auf die krasse und gegensätzliche Ausbeutung des Menschen eben dieser und las sich für mich dennoch nicht wie ein erhobener Zeigefinger, den Lauren Groff auf jemanden richtet, vielmehr ist es die Erinnerung daran, sein Bewusstsein wieder mehr für die Dinge zu schärfen, die einen umgeben.Zu diesen Dingen gehören für das Mädchen auch Männer, vor denen sie sich in erster Linie fürchtet. Einer von ihnen ist zu Beginn des Buches noch auf der Jagd nach ihr. Dass er diese Jagd schnell verliert, erfahren aber nur wir Leserinnen. Andere sind Männer, in denen sie in ihrem Leben als Dienstmädchen begegnet ist und die, bis auf eine Ausnahme, alle mit negativen Erfahrungen in Verbindung gebracht werden. Auch auf ihrer Flucht durch die Wildnis ist sie ständig auf der Hut, denn auch in der vermeintlichen Abgeschiedenheit lauern Gefahren für sie. Dazu schreibt Groff Folgendes:„Und es lief ihr eiskalt durch Mark und Bein, ein Reflex, denn sie fürchtete das Schicksal, das Frauen überall auf der Welt fürchten müssen, wenn sie in der Stadt allein auf einer dunklen Straße unterwegs waren oder auf einem abgelegenen ländlichen Weg fernab menschlicher Ohren oder an irgendeinem anderen Ort ohne die Gegenwart von Zeugen.“ (S. 199)Und selbst der Pfarrer, der Mann der Religion und des Glaubens, wird als Negativbeispiel nicht ausgelassen. Die Religion selbst wird im Roman immer wieder thematisiert und in Frage gestellt. Das Mädchen erkennt Gott in ihrer Not und ihren Schrecken in der Natur selbst und ist sich sicher, dass viele Völker, auch wenn sich ihre Namen für Gott unterscheiden, doch denselben anbeten. Gleichzeitig wird ihr bewusst, dass viele als unumstößliche Wahrheiten oder Tatsachen getarnten Aussagen vor allem dem Streben nach Macht und Unterdrückung entspringen und lehnt diese ab.Während man als Lesende der Protagonistin, dem Mädchen, immer weiter in die Wildnis folgt und sich fragt, wie es einem Menschen möglich sein kann, all die Widrigkeiten zu überwinden, die sie überwindet, zieht einen der Roman in einen Sog, dem man nicht mehr widerstehen kann. Dabei lässt Lauren Groff wenige Abscheulichkeiten, menschliche Abgründe und körperliche Ausscheidungen aus, die einen abstoßen und dennoch weiterlesen lassen. Die weite Wildnis ist ein Roman, der viele Themen beinhaltet, die uns in vielfältiger Weise im Alltag begegnen, die Art sie literarisch zu verarbeiten finde ich jedoch besonders und mitreißend. Der starke Drang und unbedingte Wille Gemeinschaft zu finden, ihr anzugehören und sich geborgen zu fühlen, ist dabei ein Motiv, dass in vielerlei Hinsicht bewegend ist. Eine unbedingte Leseempfehlung. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit lobundverriss.substack.com

As a new year unfolds, 2025 has already brought devastating natural disasters. From blizzards to wildfires, climate chaos is impacting our neighbors and communities in real time. My heart goes out to the people of Los Angeles for the profound losses they suffered last month, and for the difficult path of rebuilding that lies ahead. This devastation brings to mind a tragedy that struck even closer to home in 2018.I remember driving through Oakland that year, watching ash fall from the sky as the Camp Fire ravaged Paradise, California. That fire, still the deadliest and most destructive in California's history, was sparked by vegetation coming into contact with power lines-- a common risk that, coupled with dry conditions, strong winds, and human activity, can ignite a wildfire. That same year, at least 17 additional wildfires in California were triggered by power lines.Across the country and around the world, utilities face ongoing challenges from vegetation. The diversity of trees and their unique characteristics make it difficult to forecast where or when they might encroach on power lines. Traditional monitoring solutions like trucks, helicopters, and even drones cannot effectively or cost efficiently analyze the nearly 7 million line-miles of transmission and distribution that cover the US alone. In response, Indra Den Bakker and Anniek Schouten founded Overstory in 2018 — a software company that partners with utilities to predict and prevent wildfires caused by vegetation encroachment. Powerhouse Ventures is proud to be an early investor in Overstory, joining the team in 2020 via their seed round. It's been inspiring to watch the company grow, even in the face of immense loss.Overstory's founding CEO Indra tragically passed away in October of last year after a devastating battle with cancer, but his vision lives on. In a world where climate risks are increasing, Overstory's work is more critical than ever. Today, Overstory's CEO Fiona Spruill and her team are continuing to manifest Indra and Anniek's vision to reduce wildfire risks and make our grid resilient. This episode is a tribute to Indra, Anniek, and all that they've built together.Sponsors:Watt it Takes is brought to you by Powerhouse Innovation.

Das Interview mit der Autorin Helke Dreier, die zusammen mit ihrer Kollegin ein Buch über die Trümmerbeseitigung in Kassel zwischen 1942 und 1955 verfasst hat, beleuchtet die Hintergründe der Trümmerräumung und die Rolle der Trümmerfrauen im Wiederaufbau der Stadt nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die Idee für das Buch entstand aus einer Anfrage des Kasseler Stadtparlaments bezüglich der Errichtung eines Denkmals für die Trümmerfrauen. Es zeigte sich, dass es bisher kaum wissenschaftliche Studien zu diesem Thema gab, insbesondere speziell für Kassel. Die Stadt förderte daraufhin das Projekt, was zur Entstehung des Buches führte. Dreier erklärt, dass die Erfahrungen und das Engagement der Trümmerfrauen in Deutschland und den unterschiedlichen Besatzungszonen stark variieren. Während in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone Frauen zur Trümmerräumung eingesetzt wurden, um ihre Lebensmittelmarken zu verbessern, war das in den westlichen Zonen nicht der Fall. Kassel sticht hier als besondere Ausnahme hervor, da zahlreiche Frauen zur Trümmerräumung herangezogen wurden, was in anderen Städten oft nicht der Fall war. Die Diskrepanz in den Erfahrungen wird auch durch fehlende einheitliche Gesetze zur Trümmerräumung nach dem Krieg deutlich. Im weiteren Verlauf des Gesprächs beleuchten Dreier und Eggert die Komplexität der Erinnerungsarbeit und die unterschiedliche Wahrnehmung der Trümmerfrauen. Dreier beschreibt, wie emotional aufgeladene Erinnerungen von Zeitzeugen oft narrativ verschieden sind und historische Fakten überlagern können. Zudem wird eingegangen auf die Schwierigkeiten der Aufarbeitung, insbesondere wenn Zeitzeugen, die Kinder oder Jugendliche während des Krieges waren, über ihre Erlebnisse berichten. Viele erinnern sich lebhaft an Bilder und Gefühle, die nicht immer mit der systematischen Organisation der Trümmerräumung übereinstimmen. Die Gespräche über die Gefahren der Trümmerbeseitigung bringen interessante Aspekte ans Licht. Dreier erzählt von Bombentrichtern, die damals eine ernsthafte Gefahrenquelle darstellten, da sie oft nicht detonierte Munition oder Wasser beinhalteten. Diese Aspekte stehen im Kontrast zu den Erinnerungen der Interviewpartner, die sich mehr an die Vegetation und die neuen Lebensbedingungen der Trümmergebiete erinnern, was auf eine ambivalente Beziehung zwischen Zerstörung und Wiederaufbau hinweist. Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt der Diskussion ist die Frage nach den Eigentumsverhältnissen der Trümmer und die damit verbundenen rechtlichen und bürokratischen Herausforderungen. Dreier beschreibt, dass Trümmer als wertvolle Ressourcen betrachtet wurden und die städtische Verwaltung sich mit Fragen der Zuständigkeit und Haftung auseinandersetzen musste. Im Verlauf des Gesprächs wird auch die Rolle von Zwangsarbeitern bei der Trümmerräumung angesprochen. Dreier schildert, dass es in Kassel viele Arbeitslager gab und Zwangsarbeiter zur Reinigung der Trümmer herangezogen wurden. Besonders die Erinnerungen von Zeitzeugen an italienische Zwangsarbeiter waren überraschend positiv und bringen eine weitere Dimension in die Diskussion über Erinnerungen und Trauma. Die Kontinuitäten in der Stadtverwaltung von Kassel, die durch den Erhalt bestimmter Mitarbeiter aus der NS-Zeit gekennzeichnet sind, werden ebenfalls angesprochen. Dreier erläutert, dass einige Stadtbeamte, trotz ihrer früheren Verstrickungen im Nationalsozialismus, während des Wiederaufbaus unverändert blieben, weil sie als besonders kompetent angesehen wurden. Das Gespräch endet mit einem Blick auf das Archiv der Deutschen Frauenbewegung, in dem Dreier arbeitet. Sie beschreibt das Archiv als eine wichtige Institution für die Sammlung und Erforschung von Frauenbewegungsgeschichte. Es zeigt sich, dass das Archiv nicht nur historische Dokumente bewahrt, sondern auch aktiv Bildungs- und Veranstaltungsarbeit leistet, um Themen der Frauenbewegung in der Gesellschaft zu verankern. Das Interview reflektiert darüber hinaus die Bedeutung von Erinnerungskultur und

In this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with Joe Balog, founder of Mighty River Recovery, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring fish and wildlife habitats in Florida's St. Johns River. As a fisheries scientist and passionate advocate for conservation, Joe shares how his organization is tackling habitat decline, uniting freshwater fishing voices, and pushing for better management practices to restore vital ecosystems.We also dive into the importance of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and how its decline threatens fisheries—not just in Florida, but across the country, including here in Virginia and Maryland. If you're an angler concerned about the loss of SAV in the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay, or other local waterways, Joe's insights on restoration efforts offer valuable lessons on how we can fight for healthier fisheries in our own backyard.

Das Naturschutzareal Breitenlee im 22. Bezirk ist ein ehemaliges Bahnhofsgelände. Seit gut 80 Jahren bleibt die Natur hier sich selbst überlassen. Es ist ein langgestrecktes Areal, auf dem sich Reste des ursprünglichen Trockenrasen erhalten haben. Hier leben Arten, deren Lebensraum anderswo zunehmend verschwindet. Zu diesen Arten zählt das Helmknabenkraut, eine Orchideenart. Auch Neuntöter, Zauneidechse oder Wechselkröte fühlen sich hier wohl.Damit dies so bleibt, plant die Stadt Wien Umweltschutz, das Areal zu renaturieren. Denn offene Flächen und vielfältiger Trockenrasen sind auch hier gefährdet: Vor allem durch das Vordringen von invasiven Pflanzen wie Götterbaum, Goldrute und Robinie. Sie wachsen schnell, haben bei uns keine natürlichen Feinde und verdrängen die ursprüngliche Vegetation.Landschaftsökologe Ferdinand Schmeller von der Stadt Wien Umweltschutz erklärt, was „Ranaturierung“ eigentlich bedeutet und welche Maßnahmen die Stadt Wien ergreifen wird, damit sich hier wieder der ursprüngliche Steppentrockenrasen ausbreiten kann. Er berichtet von einem Pilz, der zur Bekämpfung des invasiven Götterbaums eingesetzt werden soll und erzählt von Rindern, Ziegen oder Eseln, die hier einmal grasen und dadurch die Vielfalt der Landschaft erhalten werden.Ein Podcast von Daniela Lipka und Hartmut Schnedl im Auftrag der Stadt Wien Umweltschutz.

Everything in the Bible is perfectly clear. Right? There’s nothing that is confusing…we all understand it perfectly. Right? I didn’t think so. Today’s scripture can be confusing for some. I know it was for me. In Hebrews 6:1-3, the writer warns us to leave the elementary teaching about Christ and press on to maturity less than one minute after admonishing us for again having to teach us the elementary principles of God in Hebrews 5:12. Then, in Hebrews 6:3, the writer says we will press on to maturity “if God permits.” Why wouldn’t God permit us to press on to maturity. Join me as we explore these scriptures and help to clear up some of the mud.

In Hebrews 6:1-3, the writer warns us to leave the elementary teaching about Christ and press on to maturity less than one minute after admonishing us for again having to teach us the elementary principles of God in Hebrews 5:12. Then, in Hebrews 6:3, the writer says we will press on to maturity “if God permits.” Why wouldn’t God permit us to press on to maturity. Join me as we explore these scriptures and help to clear up some of the mud.

Nine helicopters, three planes and 12 fire trucks have been battling the blaze, which is about 450 hectares in size - but so far they have not been able to contain it. Strong winds have been hampering crews efforts - and residents of Castle Hill Village have been warned to prepare to evacuate as a precaution. Reporter Tess Brunton spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Critical Evacuation Route and Hazardous Vegetation Removal Program will award grants to local organizations to fund fuels mitigation projects. 

In this episode of Eyes on Earth, we talk about the Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools (LANDFIRE) project, which is commemorating its 20th year of providing geospatial data to support natural resource management and wildland fire planning. LANDFIRE brings a lot of data together, over 30 data products, into one place. The publicly available, consistent data maps disturbance to the landscape and vegetation condition, which can be useful to virtually any application that deals with what's occurring on the landscape. LANDFIRE has now been doing this for 20 years, and we talk with some of the people who have been working on LANDFIRE that entire time.

Today, we are hitting some listener Q&A submissions before talking about scouting feed trees on some Alabama public land! Q&A's: How long after walking an area should you wait before hunting it? How to assess a funnel? How do terrain and vegetation effect wind and can you predict it? After the Q&A, we talk about some recent scouting trips as we prepare for opening day of bow season here in Alabama! Jacob was able to locate some white oaks holding some acorns with a fresh buck sign nearby. We go over his opening week of strategy for the area! Got a question for the show?

In this episode of the Clean Power Hour, host Tim Montague interviews JR Howard, owner of Texas Solar Sheep, about the growing industry of solar grazing. JR shares his journey into solar grazing, which began three years ago when a friend recommended exploring this unique intersection of agriculture and renewable energy. From a small pilot project, JR's operation has rapidly expanded to manage over 5 gigawatts of solar farms with around 10,000 sheep.The conversation delves into the benefits of solar grazing for both the solar industry and sheep farmers. JR explains how asset owners can save up to 20-25% on vegetation management costs by incorporating sheep grazing into their operations. He also discusses the importance of water access and appropriate seed mixes for successful solar grazing projects. The interview highlights the collaborative efforts between solar developers and grazers to optimize site designs for sheep.JR offers insights into the challenges facing the solar grazing industry, including the current shortage of sheep in some regions of the US. He emphasizes the need for ranchers to approach solar grazing as a service business rather than just another grazing lease. The episode also touches on the expanding opportunities in solar farm management, including hay production and no-till seeding.Listeners will learn about the major solar developers embracing grazing, such as Lightsource BP, Softbank SP Energy, and Adapture Renewables. JR also discusses the role of the American Solar Grazing Association (ASGA) in providing resources and support for those interested in entering the field. The episode concludes with information about new certification programs for solar grazers and JR's optimistic outlook on the future of this growing industry.Social Media HandlesTexas Solar SheepJR Howard Support the Show.Connect with Tim Clean Power Hour Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

Today's guest, Hannah Lewis, is on a mission to restore biodiversity in our towns and cities by planting native trees, pollinators, and shrubs on abandoned lots, degraded land, and in backyards. In her acclaimed new book, Mini-Forest Revolution, Hannah delves into the science behind the Miyawaki method of reforestation, which prioritizes native plants that grow quickly and create microclimates with incredible benefits like cooling urban heat islands, establishing wildlife corridors, and building soil health. The best part? Their small size means that basically anyone can plant a mini-forest. In this episode, we discuss the origins of the Miyawaki method, explore examples throughout the world, and consider how organizations might come together to truly create a mini-forest revolution.Show NotesRenewing the Countryside Mini-Forest Revolution: Using the Miyawaki Method to Rapidly Restore the WorldBiodiversity for a Livable Climate Hannah Lewis WebsiteMaking a Mini-Forest DocumentaryKeywords: Biodiversity, Biophilia, Climate, Ecosystems, Forest, Hannah Lewis, Mini-Forest, Miyawaki Forest, Paris, Trees, Vegetation

Alejandro Carrillo is a fourth-generation rancher in the Chihuahuan desert. Rarely his precipitation goes beyond 9” per year (less than 230mm). Every drop counts to grow more and better grasses and forbs. He is not willing to waste any water in such a brittle environment if he wants to graze year-round without inputs. Alejandro's ranch, Las Damas, has been part of multiple documentaries and studies focused on regenerative ranching such as Common Ground, Sacred Cow, To Which We Belong, and Water in Plain Sight. Alejandro established a solid relationship with bird conservation organizations 10+ years ago, working closely with them to protect migratory birds successfully. Alejandro's Grasslands Regeneration Project company assists ranchers and organizations on regenerative practices in North America, South America, Africa, Australia, and the Middle East.  He also participates as a delegate to the United Nations to Combat Desertification and Land Degradation in multiple countries.

Sanctuary…it is perhaps the most controversial and poorly understood aspect of habitat management for wintering waterfowl, yet potentially most important. In Part 2 of our discussion with Dr. Nick Masto and Dr. Abby Blake-Bradshaw, we dig deeper into their study of wintering mallards in western Tennessee, with a focus on the relationship between ducks and sanctuary. How did mallards respond to experimental disturbance, and how did it affect shooting opportunities of hunters? How does the amount and distribution of sanctuary affect mallard movements and habitat use patterns, and did mallards return to the same areas year after year? Does extreme cold weather drive birds south, or does it depend? The answers to these and other questions may surprise you, and you could find yourself questioning long-held beliefs about sanctuary.ww.ducks.org/DUPodcast

Lesser scaup are one of several duck species in North America that have experienced long-term population declines, and despite decades of research, the exact cause of this decline remains unclear. Because of its profound importance as a spring stopover site for migrating scaup and other divers, Pool 19 on the Mississippi River has played a crucial role in numerous scientific studies. In this episode, PhD candidate Cheyenne Beach and field assistant extraordinaire Jack Johnson join Dr. Mike Brasher to explain why so many divers show up on Pool 19 each spring; what we hope to learn from long-term banding of scaup, canvasbacks, and redheads; and how an ongoing GPS tracking study is helping understand how the invasive faucet snail may affect scaup health and productivity.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
