Federal Omnibus Includes Long-Sought Wood Heat Tax Credit For Homeowners
By Annie Ropeik • Jan 11, 2021
The new tax credit will apply to high-efficiency wood- and pellet-fired boilers and stoves like this one.
Credit Lopi Wood Stoves
Homeowners who install modern wood heating systems can now get a new tax credit, under the federal omnibus bill passed late last year.
New Hampshire's Congressional delegation supported the measure, which the state's timber industry has wanted for years.
The credit applies to home heating systems such as stoves and boilers that run on cordwood, wood chips or wood pellets, with a federal rating of at least 75% efficiency.
These systems can cost thousands - or tens of thousands - of dollars up front, but are cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels over time.
With the new credit, homeowners who install one of these systems can take 26% of the installation cost off their tax liability for 2021. The credit steps down to 22% in 2022 and 2023.
Charlie Niebling runs a timber consulting firm, Innovative Natural Resource Solutions, in Concord. He has lobbied for the new credit for more than a decade and argues that wood heat is an important alternative to imported fossil fuels, grown and processed here in New Hampshire.
"Our message to Congress for years has been...don't pick winners and losers," he said. "[Wood heat] deserves the same recognition in the federal tax code that solar and wind do."
Niebling says years of similar tax credits have increased competition and brought down prices for these other renewables, while wood heat remains more expensive and under-utilized.
"We're hopeful that this new credit in 2021 will jumpstart consumer interest once again, during an era of relatively low oil and propane costs."
Heating is a main driver of emissions and high energy costs in New Hampshire, where both wood stoves and oil heat are more commonly used than in most other states.
Wood creates more emissions than zero-carbon energy sources when burned, including particulates that can have harmful health effects. Winter use of wood stoves sometimes prompts air quality alerts in certain parts of New Hampshire.
But wood is also considered renewable, since trees can be replanted – and it burns more cleanly than fossil fuels like heating oil, especially in the efficient systems that this tax credit covers.
New Hampshire currently offers a state-level rebate of 40% or up to $10,000 for wood boiler installations of at least 80% efficiency.
Niebling said the new federal credit could help more low-income and rural homeowners upgrade from less healthy, older wood stoves and pricier oil heat, especially where natural gas or all-electric heat alternatives aren't readily available.
He hopes Congress will pass a version of the tax credit for businesses in the future.

What's Next For N.H. Timber As Biomass Power Plants Close?
By Annie Ropeik • Nov 8, 2019
Annie Ropeik / NHPR
For the past few decades, New Hampshire's logging industry has been selling its wood scraps to be burned for energy. But now, after two years of failed subsidies, the state's small biomass power plants are shutting down.
It's left the forest products sector with few in-state markets for a lot of low-grade timber -- even as innovative new uses for that wood take root elsewhere in the region.
Dartmouth Study Models Bioenergy Scenarios With Major Climate Benefits

Fighting Climate Change Could Make N.H. Forests More Profitable

New research suggests New Hampshire forests could help store more climate-warming carbon dioxide while growing higher-value trees.
The study, from Clark University and the Nature Conservancy, says better land management – especially reforestation – could store up to a fifth of America's climate-warming carbon emissions.


This is a fun way to help out animals in need without actually bringing them into your home! While this is related to spiritual purposes, it is different in a lot of ways.

June 12, 2014, 9 a.m.
In the quest for smarter news notifications, NBC News Digital's Breaking News app will now send alerts specific to where readers — and their phones — are located.
By Justin Ellis @JustinNXT June 12, 2014, 9 a.m.
"If the news is that important, it'll find me," the saying goes — and in the case of the new Breaking News app, finding you becomes a little more literal. This morning, the popular news service is releasing a new feature called proximity alerts that will allows readers to receive breaking news based on their location.
Personalized news is not new — many news sites and apps allow you to choose the topics, places, and people you want to be updated on throughout the day. What's different with Breaking News is that the alerts are automatically tagged to locations, which can include a neighborhood, a city, a ZIP code, or more. What that means is in the event of a forest fire in California, Breaking News can target that alert for anyone who lives in a specific city or the county. Or in a case like the building explosion in East Harlem in March, Breaking News can send alerts to people within a number of blocks — or all across the city.
It's a kind of passive personalization, designed to let you know if something important is happening near you simply by allowing the app to access your location. Currently, it works only on iOS; Android will follow soon. Cory Bergman, Breaking News' general manager, said the proximity alerts are another step in their efforts to deliver the most relevant stories to people: "We believe there's just so much overkill in breaking news today, as an industry. There are so many news alerts. The red bar is permanently burned into the bottom of everyone's TV sets," he said.
Editors scan wire service reports, live video feeds, and social media to track stories as they develop in real-time, which they turn turn into alerts for the apps and BreakingNews.com. The Breaking News content management system relies on tags to sort stories into topic areas and locations, which editors can use to determine if a story should trigger a proximity alert. The next step is defining the geographic boundaries of a story, said Ben Tesch, creative director for Breaking News. Stories can be connected to multiple areas — so if a train traveling between New York and Washington has an accident, an alert can be sent to both cities, Tesch said.
While users can expect more frequent updates on breaking news near them, don't expect it to be replacement for local news just yet. Breaking News, part of NBC News Digital, has a modest staff of editors covering stories around the globe, which means the proximity alerts may be for big stories that could have a broader significance. Don't expect to find the kind of day-to-day police or local government stories you'd see in your metro paper or, say, your local NBC affiliate.
Anyone who receives news alerts on their phone knows it's an imperfect science. When it comes to breaking news alerts, most media companies offer little filtering and rely on editors to determine what stories rise to the level of a notification. Primary election results in Virginia's U.S. House District 7 may not be interesting to you if you're not into politics — or if you don't live in Virginia. Alerts from The New York Times sometimes focus on the latest twist in Brooklyn politics, even though most of their readers are far outside the borough. One way to fix that is through user-driven filtering — something Breaking News has been a leader in. (The mute feature is popular because it lets users tell the app what stories or subjects they don't want clogging up their lock screen — like, for instance, seeing Winter Olympics results before the events have aired on tape-delay.) Location might be another.
Geolocation services are not new to smartphones, and place-based features have only improved over the years as things like geofencing have become available. Some apps use your location to tell you where to eat or if your friends are around. Apps like AP Mobile pull in wire stories based on where you are, and Google Now is focused on serving up timely, place-based information.
It shouldn't be surprising that as mobile usage has grown, Breaking News has seen its audience grow as well. Bergman told me most of the visits to Breaking News come through mobile browsers and the app, with a 30 percent overall increase in visitors in the first quarter of this year.
As audiences increasingly move more into mobile, Tesch said they hope readers can find multiple uses for Breaking News. Heavy news consumers might use the app to follow significant developing stories throughout the day. But Tesch said it also can be a passive news experience, an app you set and forget, that waits in the background to alert you whenever major news is happening. That's why getting space on a phone, and adapting to the new ways people follow news, is a big challenge.

EFL Cup Asian Handicap Previews – Tuesday 22nd August
Ipswich Town v Crystal Palace
Life under Frank De Boer has not exactly got off to a perfect start for Crystal Palace and fans will be starting to wonder whether his ill-fated spell at Inter Milan was not just a one-off. An opening day humiliation against newly promoted Huddersfield was followed up by an away loss at Anfield against Liverpool.
A cup competition against a lower league opposition would usually be the perfect opportunity to boost morale, but it could prove to be an eye opener for the Dutch boss.
Ipswich Town is a well-drilled side under Irishman Mick McCarthy and has won all four of their Championship matches so far this season. McCarthy will be delighted with how his side has started the season and will want to continue that when they welcome Palace to Portman Road on Tuesday evening.
With the likes of Joe Garner, David McGoldrick and Martyn Waghorn all looking dangerous so far this season, De Boer will be hoping his Palace players can step up to the plate.
This may be De Boer's epiphany – when he realizes that his Palace side may not be good enough to play the brand of football he wants to instill.
Asian Handicap Betting Recommendation: Ipswich 0.75 at 3.040
Cardiff City v Burton Albion
When these two sides met on the opening day of the Championship season, the side was evenly matched and it took a Kenneth Zahore wondergoal to break the deadlock and take all three points for Warnock's Cardiff.
Now the sides meet again in the EFL Cup and fortunes have certainly changed. Cardiff is flying under Warnock, four wins from four in the league and just the single goal conceded. For Burton, they've won just one out of their four Championship matches so far and it looks like another season of struggle ahead for Nigel Clough's men.
Warnock's Cardiff squad are relatively thin on the ground, so expect him to make changes to keep things fresh. New signing Omar Bogle may come in for Kenneth Zahore to give the star man a rest, whilst the likes of Danny Ward, Matthew Kennedy, and Lee Tomlin may come back into the side.
For Clough's Burton, he'll be hoping that they can build on the weekend's win against Birmingham City, but will be well aware that his side is facing a Cardiff team on a hot-streak.
Asian Handicap Betting Recommendation: Cardiff City – 1.25 at 2.290
Birmingham City v AFC Bournemouth
The big story in this Championship v Premier League clash is Birmingham boss Harry Redknapp facing his former club. Redknapp began his managerial career at the south-coast club, joining in 1983 before leaving for West Ham United in 1994. He's remembered fondly by the Bournemouth fans and I'm sure he'll get a warm reception on Tuesday.
On the pitch, Birmingham hasn't had the best start to the season, registering just one win in their four games in the league so far. They did beat Crawley Town emphatically in the last round, but Redknapp will know that Bournemouth is a different kettle of fish.
Eddie Howe's side is without a win in the Premier League so far; losing to West Brom and Watford. The talented boss will know that this is the perfect opportunity for his men to find their form.
Asian Handicap Betting Recommendation: Bournemouth -0.50 at 2.170

Representing the host country well, USA brothers Taylor Crabb/Trevor Crabb advanced to Wednesday's start of main draw action to join five other American teams competing in the double-gender FIVB Cincinnati Open, presented by AVP.
Mason, Ohio, USA, May 17, 2016 – Growing up in Hawaii, Trevor and Taylor Crabb had an abundance of idols to look up to as they learned Beach Volleyball.
Guys like Kevin Wong, Mike Lambert and Stein Metzger were the trailblazers for the Hawaiians. The Crabb brothers might have taken a few lumps in the times they hit the sand against the legends, but the results are easy to see.
Trevor and Taylor are now one of the hottest teams on the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) tour, the major circuit in the United States. But this week at the FIVB Cincinnati Open, presented by AVP at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio, they're taking their game to the international level.
And now they have a whole new set of heroes to follow as they keep their sights trained on the 2020 Olympics. They figure the more they can be around the likes of Jake Gibb, Casey Patterson, Phil Dalhausser, Nick Lucena, John Hyden and fellow Hawaiian Tri Bourne, the faster their game will develop.
The duo has made major breakthroughs in the past two years. In their first introduction to the legendary AVP Manhattan Beach Open in 2015, they beat Gibb and Patterson in an epic match to reach the semifinals.
Last week in Huntington Beach, they reached their first AVP final by defeating veterans John Mayer, the reigning AVP MVP, and Ryan Doherty. Gibb and Patterson got them in the final, so they're still waiting for that breakthrough title but not without confidence.
The brothers qualified for the main draw with an easy victory Tuesday and will be one of six USA men's teams battling an international field.
They're not the tallest team, but Trevor more than holds his own at the net and they will frustrate the heck out of any opponent with their defense. They always seem to have patience and they rarely get overly excited. There are also seven women's teams in the main draw of the 2016 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event.
"The one thing he always told us was never panic," Taylor said.
But the advice they took most to heart?
"Don't be a meathead or a hothead," Trevor said with a smile.
The conjecture that the brothers have heard forever is that to be an Olympian, they'll have to split up and find taller players to complement their talents. They hear it a lot, but they're not ready to listen to the outsiders.
Seven other teams also qualified for the main draw: Canada's Cameron Wheelan/Michael Plantinga and Christian Redmann/Felipe Humana-Paredes, USA's Jeremy Casebeer/Derek Olson, Norway's Hendrik Mol/Lars Tvinde of Norway, Switzerland's Adrian Heidrich/Gabriel Kissling of Switzerland and Robert Rodriguez-Bertran and Orlando Irizarry and Orland Irizarry of Puerto Rico.
The FIVB World Tour was in Europe for two events over the last two weeks. Up first was in Russia two weeks followed by last week's FIVB Antalya Open in Turkey (May 10-15). The tour is visiting the United States for the first time in 2016 this week for the FIVB Cincinnati Open, presented by AVP (May 17-21) in Mason, Ohio. Next week, the FIVB World Tour returns to Russia for the FIVB Moscow Grand Slam (May 24-29). After a one week respite, the final Olympic qualifying event on the FIVB World Tour will be the FIVB Hamburg Major Series in Germany (June 7-12).
The FIVB Cincinnati Open, presented by AVP, is the 343rd men's tournament since the FIVB began play in 1987 and the 304th FIVB women's tournament since their competition started in 1992.


All Discoveries and Breakthough's are made by mistake!
When discovered or a Breakthrough is made it WILL always be the 'brain child' of someone in middle management.
Launch RT Seven Lite, click 'Browse | Select OS Path' and point it at your Windows set-up files. If you have a Windows 7 DVD then just browse to the root directory of that. If you don't have a DVD then the files are probably stored on your hard drive: check your PC documentation.
When you locate them, copy the folder structure somewhere, then point RT Seven Lite at the new location (don't use your original folder). If you've chosen a DVD then RT Seven Lite will complain, because it needs the files to be located on your hard drive. Click 'OK' to confirm that you're happy with this, then make a new folder somewhere convenient and RT Seven Lite will copy the files over.
Once everything has been transferred, choose the Windows 7 edition you'd like to configure. Make sure it's the one you have a licence key for, and click 'OK'. RT Seven Lite will then create the image and you'll be ready to go.
By default RT Seven Lite starts with all its key options disabled, but this is easily fixed. Click 'Task', check the 'Select All' box and the toolbar will become available. Click 'Integration' and you'll see where components can be added to your Windows build, a technique called slipstreaming.
The Updates tab, for instance, is where you can add Windows patches. RT Seven Lite requires that these files be in Microsoft's standalone update format (.msu), though, so you'll need to get online and download these first. The simplest way to do this is via a site that sorts these updates for you, like The Software Patch.
Go to the Windows 7 section and follow the links to the patches you need. Alternatively, go directly to Microsoft and search for them there. Whichever option you choose, download your MSU files to the same folder. Then switch back to RT Seven Lite, click 'Integration | Add' and select all the MSU files.
Adding drivers is almost as straightforward. First, download the latest versions, then unpack them to a folder (if your current archiver can't unpack executable files, try 7-Zip from www.7-zip.org instead). Finally click 'Add', and choose the INF file for the driver to include it in your build.
Third-party applications can be included in much the same way – click 'Applications | Add' and choose your program – but there's one major complication. The set-up program needs to be capable of running silently; that is, without any user prompts.
Some set-up programs have documented switches that allow them to run silently. Firefox uses an '/S' switch, for instance, and adding this after the program name should result in the browser being quietly installed along with Windows.
If you can't find any documentation for command-line switches, the Universal Silent Switch Finder may be able to help, or a tool like SFXMaker, which can build silent installers for many apps.
When you've finished, click 'Apply'. If you don't want to make any other changes to your build, click 'Commit'. RT Seven Lite will then make the changes to the Windows image. This will take a while, so only click 'Commit' when you're sure you've finished.
Removing standard Windows 7 features can be dangerous, but it can make for a faster, less resource-hungry system. There are unlikely to be any serious problems, so it's definitely worth checking out the options available.
Click the 'Features Removal' button for a closer look. RT Seven Lite divides its list of all the removable Windows components into seven sections. The first, Accessories, is perhaps the safest place to start tweaking.
Will anything bad happen if you remove the games, Paint or the Windows 7 calculator? If you'll never use them, check their boxes. Click each option in turn and check the help at the bottom of the screen for an explanation of what it does. Pay particular attention to items highlighted in dark red, as they're required for other components to work properly.
Then move on to the Drivers section. You don't have a TV tuner, for instance? Then there's no point installing the associated drivers on your hard drive; check the boxes to remove them all.
You can also remove the printer, modem, network and scanner drivers for all models apart from your own. Arguably you can even remove the lot, as Windows will search online anyway, and the chances are you'll also have a driver disc for any hardware you buy in future.
After this it all gets a little complicated. Which network components can you omit? Do you have any surplus services? If you're unsure, we'd recommend you just leave the components in place, and click 'Apply' to save any changes.
If you're determined to strip everything then you'll find advice in the RT Seven Lite forums. The thread here may give you more ideas.
Creating a custom version of Windows doesn't have to involve making scary decisions about components. In the Customisation tab, you're able to add your own screensavers, Windows Themes, wallpaper images and gadgets.
It's also possible to set a new Windows log-in screen, although you need to be careful: the JPEG file must be less than 250kB in size, and it should be in one of the resolutions displayed by RT Seven to ensure it's not distorted.
The confusingly named Media Sounds section lets you change your Windows system sounds to alternatives in WAV format. Click 'Documents' and you can even save important files that you'd like to be installed by default as a part of Windows. Just click 'Add' to choose them. And again, click 'Apply' when you're done to save your customisations.
Once you're happy with your customisations and tweaks, it's time to burn the finished results to a DVD. Click 'Log | Commit' to update the image first, then choose the ISO-Bootable section for the functions you need.
First choose what you'd like to do in the Select a Mode list. You can create an ISO image, burn an existing image, create a bootable USB flash drive and so on. We'll select Direct Burn to create a custom Windows 7 DVD.
Find a writable DVD, place it in the appropriate drive, then choose that drive in the Device box if it's not already selected. Enter a volume name and burn speed for the disc, then click 'Direct Burn' to finish.
That's it, you're finished: you've made a custom version of Windows 7. We'd recommend you try it out in a virtual machine first, but otherwise your faster, optimised Windows 7 will be ready and waiting for the next time you need to reinstall.


Now we have all our pieces lets play the game of "drow ambush". This ended up being the last time the characters in my Out of the Abyss campaign meet Ilvara. On previous occasions, they just ran. At this point, they are level 4 and decided to try and end the pursuit once and for all. Spoilers – they did.
First the battle map, which I lifted directly from the 4e drow Adventurers League module Web of the Spider Queen along with the supporting NPCS who I converted to 5e for the battle.
The drow have had time to await the adventurers' arrival, with most of them starting the encounter on a small ledge 10 feet above the floor the adventurers stand on.
Kietti is hidden in her position to the northeast, and Clinks is on the ceiling.
Perception (DC 18): A human-sized spider clings to the ceiling above you, motionless as if waiting for a signal to strike.
The drow priestess steps back as the two warriors leap down toward you, grinning at the prospect of a memorable fight.
Ilvara: The drow priestess is weaker in melee than her companions. She remains on the ledge and uses venom ray unless she is forced to leave that position.
Shoor: The bloodthirsty bonebreaker stays close to as many adventurers as possible, hoping to use seek revenge when one of the Jaelre drow falls.
Kietti: After dragging an enemy toward her with silken strand, Kietti poisons her foe with a dagger attack. She is especially fond of drawing adventurers into her cloud of darkness.
Onauth: The ranger stays within 30 feet of Clinks to enable the companion's movement with command spider. He flanks with Clinks whenever possible to maintain combat advantage.
Clinks, Deathjump Spider: The spider leaps across the battlefield to avoid melee attacks, dropping onto foes on its own turn, then following Onauth's commands to get into flanking position on the ranger's turn.
Illumination: Phosphorescent fungi fill this area with dim light.
Ceiling: The rough cavern ceiling varies from 10 feet to 20 feet high.
Cliffs: The drop-offs are 10 feet high, and require a DC 15 Athletics check to climb.
Stone Piles: These areas of rubble are difficult terrain.
Tactically the drow assassin Kiatti used her silken strand ability combined with darkness to drag a character – in this case the cleric Milsandra – off to the corner and murder her. She didn't quite get to murder Milsandra before bing killed but she did a lot of stabbing.
Ilvara supported from range while Onauth and Shoor attacked the party in melee with the help of the deathjump spider "Clinks", Onauth's beast companion. Asha and Jorlan purposely held back attacking half-heartedly. As soon as the party had killed Kiatti and Shoor and had blooded Ilvara, Asha and Jorlan turned on Ilvara and betraying her and performing the killing blow. They then offered the party freedom on the proviso they went their separate ways. They both agreed.
Onauth knew which side his bread was buttered on though not part of the original plan to betray Ilvara went along with it. Just another day in Menzoberranzan.
One thing I noticed is how effective the drow's faerie fire and darkness abilities are on a tactical map. When using just theatre of the mind I rarely used darkness as it was hard to know exactly who was affected and how long it lasted. On the battlemap, it is much easier to use and ended up being effective. The party was in some form of darkness the entire battle.


Week 2 of our 2018 cover contest, and it's time to look at Fantasy and Science Fiction titles! Scroll through the covers, cast your vote, and let us know what you think in the comments!
I was torn between 4 covers. I finally voted for A THIEF IN TIME, then switched to THALGOR'S WITCH once I discovered that it was leading among the four (at least currently), to do my best to help one of the four win. I also loved BLIND THE EYES and THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES. Curiously, two were distinctive by their limited color palates, with gold or silver, while two had all the colors of sunset. All four had towers/towering cityscapes in them.

Disasters & Conflicts
Why are Wetlands Important?
Hannah Steiner
marine wildlife conservation and environmental activist
Wetlands provide numerous beneficial services for people and for fish and wildlife.
Wetlands are important features in the landscape that provide numerous beneficial services for people and for fish and wildlife. Some of these services, or functions, include protecting and improving water quality, providing fish and wildlife habitats, storing floodwaters and maintaining surface water flow during dry periods. These valuable functions are the result of the unique natural characteristics of wetlands.
Wetlands and Nature
Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. An immense variety of species of microbes, plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish and mammals can be part of a wetland ecosystem. Climate, landscape shape (topology), geology and the movement and abundance of water help to determine the plants and animals that inhabit each wetland. The complex, dynamic relationships among the organisms inhabiting the wetland environment are called food webs. This is why wetlands in Texas, North Carolina and Alaska differ from one another.
Wetlands can be thought of as "biological supermarkets." They provide great volumes of food that attract many animal species. These animals use wetlands for part of or all of their life-cycle. Dead plant leaves and stems break down in the water to form small particles of organic material called "detritus." This enriched material feeds many small aquatic insects, shellfish and small fish that are food for larger predatory fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals.
The functions of a wetland and the values of these functions to humans depend on a complex set of relationships between the wetland and the other ecosystems in the watershed. A watershed is a geographic area in which water, sediments and dissolved materials drain from higher elevations to a common low-lying outlet or basin a point on a larger stream, lake, underlying aquifer or estuary.
Wetlands play an integral role in the ecology of the watershed. The combination of shallow water, high levels of nutrients and primary productivity is ideal for the development of organisms that form the base of the food web and feed many species of fish, amphibians, shellfish and insects. Many species of birds and mammals rely on wetlands for food, water and shelter, especially during migration and breeding.
Wetlands' microbes, plants and wildlife are part of global cycles for water, nitrogen and sulfur. Scientists now know that atmospheric maintenance may be an additional wetlands function. Wetlands store carbon within their plant communities and soil instead of releasing it to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Thus wetlands help to moderate global climate conditions.
Wetlands and People
Far from being useless, disease-ridden places, wetlands provide values that no other ecosystem can. These include natural water quality improvement, flood protection, shoreline erosion control, opportunities for recreation and aesthetic appreciation and natural products for our use at no cost. Protecting wetlands can protect our safety and welfare.
Natural Products for Our Economy
We use a wealth of natural products from wetlands, including fish and shellfish, blueberries, cranberries, timber and wild rice. Some medicines are derived from wetland soils and plants. Many of the nation's fishing and shellfishing industries harvest wetland-dependent species. In the Southeast, for example, nearly all the commercial catch and over half of the recreational harvest are fish and shellfish that depend on the estuary-coastal wetland system. Louisiana's coastal marshes are tremendously valuable for their commercial fish and shellfish harvest. Wetlands are habitats for fur-bearers like muskrat, beaver and mink as well as reptiles such as alligators.
Fish and Wildlife Habitat
More than one-third of the United States' threatened and endangered species live only in wetlands, and nearly half use wetlands at some point in their lives. Many other animals and plants depend on wetlands for survival. Estuarine and marine fish and shellfish, various birds and certain mammals must have coastal wetlands to survive. Most commercial and game fish breed and raise their young in coastal marshes and estuaries. Menhaden, flounder, sea trout, spot, croaker and striped bass are among the more familiar fish that depend on coastal wetlands. Shrimp, oysters, clams, and blue and Dungeness crabs likewise need these wetlands for food, shelter and breeding grounds.
For many animals and plants such as wood ducks, muskrat, cattails and swamp rose, inland wetlands are the only places they can live. Beaver may actually create their own wetlands. For others, such as striped bass, peregrine falcon, otter, black bear, raccoon and deer, wetlands provide important food, water or shelter.
Many of the U.S. breeding bird populations-- including ducks, geese, woodpeckers, hawks, wading birds and many song-birds-- feed, nest and raise their young in wetlands. Migratory waterfowl use coastal and inland wetlands as resting, feeding, breeding or nesting grounds for at least part of the year. Indeed, an international agreement to protect wetlands of international importance was developed because some species of migratory birds are completely dependent on certain wetlands and would become extinct if those wetlands were destroyed.
Wetlands function as natural sponges that trap and slowly release surface water, rain, snowmelt, groundwater and flood waters. Trees, root mats and other wetland vegetation also slow the speed of flood waters and distribute them more slowly over the floodplain. This combined water storage an braking action lowers flood heights and reduces erosion.
Wetlands within and downstream of urban areas are particularly valuable, counteracting the greatly increased rate and volume of surface- water runoff from pavement and buildings. The holding capacity of wetlands helps control floods and prevents water logging of crops. Preserving and restoring wetlands together with other water retention can often provide the level of flood control otherwise provided by expensive dredge operations and levees. The bottomland hardwood- riparian wetlands along the Mississippi River once stored at least 60 days of floodwater. Now they store only 12 days because most have been filled or drained.

In May of 2015, Andrew joined our team at Widen as popcorn manager. We bought a commercial popcorn maker and hired Andrew to make popcorn each afternoon. He came to us from Community Support Network (CSN), a nonprofit that helps people with developmental disabilities participate in the Madison, Wisc., community.
Some of Andrew's peers, unable to join Widen due to their disabilities, made coasters like the ones at Brazilian steakhouses: red on one side, green on the other. We gave one to each employee. Andrew tallies the reds and greens to know who wants popcorn and how much to make. He is a Widen employee and earns hourly wages for his work.
If, as Peter Drucker claimed, "The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer," how can I justify Andrew's job? If "The purpose of business is to maximize profitability for shareholders," as I was taught 20 years ago in business school, again, Andrew should not be an employee. The two most popular paradigms of business disqualify one of the most impactful roles our company ever has created.
"Shareholder value" as business strategy has been scrutinized heavily. Jack Welch, the former General Electric CEO who originally lionized the concept, called it "the dumbest idea in the world" in 2009. Drucker's statement, however, has been taken for granted.
What is a CEO's true mission?
Businesses can create and keep customers at the expense of their own employees and communities, or even at the expense of customers. Over the course of history, brothels, sweatshops and other establishments have made moral compromises to create and keep customers. Alone, Drucker's statement imposes no accountability on businesses.
If Drucker's idea is good but insufficient, what might strengthen it?
I've argued that championing what the ancient Greeks called "eudaimonia" -- happiness, health, and prosperity -- should be a CEO's mission. As Chief Eudaimonia Officer, the CEO should strive to help employees, partners, community and customers attain that state of being. To do so, CEOs should inspire advancements across six dimensions of wellness: social, emotional, spiritual, occupational, intellectual and physical. The idea is not mutually exclusive with creating customers and shareholder value.
Spreading eudaimonia begins with one bold action that moves multiple dimensions of wellness. I learned that from Andrew. He came aboard shortly after I met Deb Dove, CSN's executive director. I was convinced that hiring CSN members would be an important service to our community. When I announced the news to our team, the email message received more positive responses than any other email I have ever sent.
Andrew was the first of several CSN hires. Michael, Kristina, Rob and Justin joined us soon after. Along with popcorn-making and delivery, the team took over cleaning responsibilities and straightening up rooms. Later, when Andrew shared his love for growing things, he joined the team that purchases and takes care of all our beautiful plants. Kristina was our 100th employee, and we celebrated her hire with cupcakes, streamers and beach balls.
How do we embrace differences?
So what happened when we welcomed our CSN team members? First, on a fundamental level, we socially integrated people into the workforce who normally are assisted in isolation. Work created a sense of purpose, community and responsibility that was absent in their lives.
Second, our team began to cultivate a rare form of empathy. Rob empties trash cans daily around the office, and he sometimes does it loudly. He gives elbow bumps to coworkers as he goes about the task. He calls people "Momma" or "Hunk." Extra-special colleagues get a "yo, yo, yo, yo!" We know Rob isn't trying to be disruptive or offensive, and therefore we don't perceive it that way. We have context for why Rob shows affection the way he does.
It's an important differentiator. People struggle to react in positive or inclusive ways when context is missing. Do we ever consider that people might have a good but unseen reason for their actions? Maybe that driver cut you off in traffic because she's responding to a family emergency. Perhaps an acquaintance responded emotionally to something you said because he's struggling with finances. Or maybe your coworkers left an empty coffee pot without brewing the next one because they didn't want to be late for a customer call. We blindly judge by ignoring the unknown, yet we rarely seek to comprehend the why. Rob teaches us to be more understanding and accepting.
Third, we've learned deeper gratitude for one another. Andrew, our popcorn manager, loves gaming. He talks about Xbox all the time with another Widen employee who shares his passion for video games. We'd like to believe the nexus of our social life belongs outside the office. Yet we all spend at least eight hours a day together in the same building.
Andrew's thirst for connection teaches us to be more grateful for our colleagues. It reminds us we are not political competitors or rivals. We are people bound by the same Creator, not numerals in an equation about maximizing profitability. People we assume to be different from ourselves are more like us than not.
Where do we find purpose in our work?
Working with CSN spreads eudaimonia and thereby honors the dignity of human beings. We create emotional, spiritual, social and occupational wellness by building this bridge into our community. At Widen, this fosters empathy, camaraderie and moral consciousness -- all of which are traits a customer should prefer in a content technology vendor.
So if you must justify eudaimonia with financial results, there you have it. But I'd prefer CEOs to give back because they choose a higher responsibility than the numbers in their financial statements.
You can't create eudaimonia by tackling every dimension of wellness all at once. Start with one thing. You'll be amazed at what happens when you reject "maximizing profitability" and hire a popcorn manager.


Mt Mary was a bustling Railway Town with mainly timber, mallee stumps and cut wood, livestock and some grains being shipped by rail from the station.
The town itself was mainly settled by railway workers who maintained the train line between Adelaide, Eudunda and Morgan, and the main focus was and has remained the Mt Mary Hotel.
The Historic Mount Mary Hotel was established in 1894, and today is packed with memorabilia from by-gone days & now acts as a living museum.
Mt Mary is not strictly in the Southern Goyder region, which is the boundary of the Regional Council of Goyder, (they are in the Mid Murray Council) but we are proud to list them on eudunda.net because there are such close links to Eudunda, as a region and of the people. Eudunda is still one of Mt Mary's main supply areas. We also recommend calling in at the small pubs along the highway, its a great experience and you will get a 'driver break' or a meal there.

Sharing Services Global Corp. (SHRG) Women Executives Make the News
DSN recognized The Happy Co. CMO with a Bronze Stevie award in its Women of the Year — Business Services category
New MojiLife president has 20-plus years experience in direct-sales space
SHRG is dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the acquisition and development of innovative companies, products and technologies
Key leaders in the Sharing Services Global (OTCQB: SHRG) family have captured the spotlight recently. Clare Holbrook, chief marketing officer of The Happy Co., was honored with a Woman of the Year Award by Direct Selling News (https://nnw.fm/VKNZt), and Kristine Widtfeldt was named president of MojiLife, a leader in the direct-selling fragrance sector (https://nnw.fm/YxqRi). SHRG has an ownership interest in both companies.
Direct Selling News ("DSN") announced last week that Holbrook was recognized with a Bronze Stevie Award in its Women of the Year — Business Services category. "This Stevie Award honors outstanding women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they lead," the announcement read. "Holbrook is a seasoned direct-selling executive with more than 25 years of experience in the industry. Her multilingual skills and creative marketing strategies have helped The Happy Co. leverage its presence in diverse markets, while integrating effective sales and marketing strategies."
The Happy Co. is dedicated to its vision: "We believe everyone deserves to be happy." The company offers functional beverages, capsules, patches and creams that elevate mood, boost energy, reduce stress, enhance sleep, increase muscles, minimize fat and tighten skin, helping users look, feel and perform like a younger person.
Most of The Happy Co. products contain nootropics, which is "the science of cognitive enhancement," the company states (https://nnw.fm/K4uHJ). "So, whether it's happiness, intelligence, creativity, focus, memory, energy, stress reduction or self-control, our research and development team is working on new formulas to make your life better. We utilize naturally occurring amino acids, herbs, and nutrient-dense plants, which boost brainpower and activate the happy hormones already found in your brain."
In the last three years, The Happy Co. has become the category creator for Happy Coffee, the recognized leader in natural nootropics, and is one of the fastest-growing companies in the social-marketing and direct-selling industries.
In addition, Widtfeldt took over the reins at MojiLife, a company that offers the AirMoji device, a fragrance dispenser featuring the latest in innovative technology and design. According to the announcement, the AirMoji's modern, compact, wireless design doesn't require open flames, heated light bulbs or melted wax, and the device is ideal for scenting homes, vehicles and other spaces.
"I am honored and excited to work with the team at MojiLife and Sharing Services to lead this company, which has so much untapped potential," said Widtfeldt. "Their patented technology, unique premium scents and commitment to purity and safety are compelling for everyone. I love the current product range and the exciting roadmap ahead — we envision MojiLife products enriching homes and lives worldwide."
Widtfeldt has garnered more than two decades of experience in the direct-sales sector, including her most recent stint as CEO of a successful decor company, which she helped launch in 2017. She has a proven track record of providing strategic leadership that has driven profitability and sustained growth for emerging companies.
"Kristine's leadership skills with top field leaders and her executive experience in the business make her an ideal fit," said SHRG president/CEO John "JT" Thatch. "We are excited to have her part of a company that we have an ownership interest in and will continue to support this growth as they expand globally."
Sharing Services Global Corporation is dedicated to maximizing shareholder value through the acquisition and development of innovative companies, products and technologies in the direct-selling sector and other industries.

Just as the digital ink had dried on our post about website accessibility, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled "Lawsuits Surge Over Websites' Access for the Blind." The article details a steep incline in the number of complaints filed against all kinds of companies regarding the inaccessibility of their websites to the blind and visually impaired. All types of businesses are being targeted, from art galleries to Domino's.
A survey found nearly 3 times the number of federal accessibility cases (2,258 in total) were filed in 2018 compared to 2017. What's more is that the law isn't clear on what guidelines websites must meet in order to comply and avoid or settle these suits. In addition to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 being referenced as a basis for these lawsuits, the Equality Act of 2010 is also commonly being cited in the United Kingdom.
As we referenced in our earlier blog post, there are 38 criteria that list prescriptive methods in order to be considered generally compliant. We at Counterpart are absolutely advocates for accommodating accessibility standards, and these lawsuits are a prime example of the consequences of not going to that effort. As you prepare for your next software or website project, click here for a quick reference guide to accessibility guidelines and techniques.

The additional reductions are equivalent to 5-6 years of carbon emissions from human activities at current rates, according to a new paper led by the UK's Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.
The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement aims to keep "the global average temperature increase to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels".
The research, published in the journal Nature Geoscience today (July 9, 2018) uses a novel form of climate model where a specified temperature target is used to calculate the compatible fossil fuel emissions.
Permafrost regions are those which are permanently frozen. Under a warming climate, permafrost regions begin to thaw and as a result the soils begin to emit carbon dioxide, and in some cases methane, into the atmosphere.
The greenhouse gas emissions from natural wetland and permafrost increase with global temperature increases, this in turn adds further to global warming creating a "positive feedback" loop.
The results show the "positive feedback" process are disproportionately more important for the emission reductions needed to achieve the 1.5 °C target rather than the 2 °C target.
This is because the scientists involved in the study modelled the impact of the additional processes for the time-period 2015-2100, which are broadly similar for the two temperature targets.
However, as the emissions budgets to achieve the 1.5 °C target are half of what is required to meet the 2 °C target, the proportional impact of natural wetlands and permafrost thaw is much larger.
Lead author Dr. Edward Comyn-Platt, a biogeochemist at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology said: "Greenhouse gas emissions from natural wetlands and permafrost regions are sensitive to climate change, primarily via changes in soil temperature.
"Changes in these emissions will alter the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and must be considered when estimating the human emissions compatible with the Paris Climate Agreement."
Co-author Dr. Sarah Chadburn, of the University of Leeds, said: "We found that permafrost and methane emissions get more and more important as we consider lower global warming targets.
"These feedbacks could make it much harder to achieve the target, and our results reinforce the urgency in reducing fossil fuel burning."
Co-author Prof Chris Huntingford, of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, said: "We were surprised at how large these permafrost and wetland feedbacks can be for the low warming target of just 1.5°C."


Just last week, we published a piece entitled, "The FDA's Warning Letters for CBD-Related Products". The companies that received warning letters include Natural!, the Stanley Brothers, Natural Alchemist and Green Roads Health, Cali Stores, Dose of Nature, Green Garden Gold, Healthy Hemp Oil, Michigan Herbal Remedies, LLC, Morgue Juice, Pain Bomb, LLC, Sana Te Premium Oils, Canna Companion, Canna-Pet, LLC, CBD Life Holdings, LLC, Hemp Oil Care, Natural Organic Solutions, and Twin Falls Biotech, LLC. They were warned for their product/s not containing the cannabidiol (CBD) they stated they had, making misleading medical statements, or sold their product as a food supplement when they shouldn't have.
Eagle-eyed readers will notice that the letters sent by the FDA are all companies that work with hemp-derived CBD. The fact that so many companies get letters for not containing the CBD their product/s claim they have is not surprising – although hemp does contain cannabinoids, many hemp plants may not contain the right amount of cannabinoids needed to make a CBD-rich product.
We here at Leafwell have always been a little suspicious of hemp-derived CBD for a variety of reasons. So which companies can patients trust? Sadly, we do not know the answer to this, and it is probably worth casting a critical eye over all cannabinoid-based products until testing for safety and accurate labelling becomes mandatory. However, this doesn't mean there might not be some companies that aren't more trustworthy than others. Here are a few CBD-rich products that may be worth looking into in 2018.
Kiva's 50 g chocolate bars state that they have 30 mg CBD and 30 mg THC in them. We don't know if this is accurate or not, but it's probably a better place to start than a 1,000 mg THC edible. Kiva also have a range of strengths and flavors to choose from.
Incredibles state that they lab-test all their products. They also have a prize-winning chocolate bar in the form of Black Cherry 50/50, which contains 50 mg of THC and 50 mg of CBD.
A bit of an interesting product this one. We state that we're missing out on the pure CBD, hemp-derived products, but this Colorado-based company states on its website that "Although our products are the same grade as medical marijuana, our THC levels are so low that our products are legally considered hemp under International Laws and legal all 50 States!" As stated already, we're suspicious of CBD-only products, especially ones derived from hemp (despite the fact that "hemp" and "marijuana" are both Cannabis sativa), this product has piqued our interest due to its claim to being the same grade as medical marijuana – let's just hope that they are accurate with their labelling and aren't just trying to cash in on the CBD craze.
As we're suspicious of so many products out there that claim to be "CBD-only" (which we feel takes away from the medical potential of the cannabis plant – other cannabinoids, including THC, helps CBD do its job), why not grow your own if possible? Resin Seeds arguably created the main cornerstone of CBD-rich strains today with Cannatonic, and they have other interesting crosses such as Dieseltonic as well. Resin Seeds have also worked with CBD Crew, who make CBD-rich versions of strains mostly found at Mr. Nice Seeds/the old Sensi Seedbank. This suggests that Resin Seeds knows what they're doing.
Like any reasonable person, those who enjoy cannabis seem to have a predilection for pizza. So what better than a pizza sauce for some homemade treats? Canapa makes a pizza sauce containing 120 mg of CBD, and won second place at the 2015 High Times Cup. Unfortunately, the CBD is hemp-derived, but at least this means you can get it throughout the US (and even the world!).
Yes, yes, we know. Many of the products above have been around for a few years, or at the very least last year. However, we don't know if there are a huge number of CBD-only products that are both trustworthy and have the potential medical benefits a full range of cannabinoids and terpenoids can bring. The only way patients can find out at the moment is by trying a little bit of everything in small doses, and seeing what works.
