2. Headline: Triumph and Tension of the Norge Guest Author: Mark PiesingSummary: This segment covers the 1926 Norge expedition, detailing airship modifications for Arctic conditions. While successful in reaching the North Pole and Alaska, the journey sparked bitter rivalry between Amundsen and Nobile as Mussolini utilized the achievement for fascist propaganda across the global stage.

Environmental History, #2 of 4. Many of the conservationists who've defended the Arctic heralded it as the “last great wilderness,” an ecosystem and landscape unmarred by corporate greed and violence, a place that needs to be preserved because of its “pristine” and “untouched” beauty. While well-intentioned, this narrative is, of course, problematic, because the absence of white settler colonial development is not the same thing as “pristine” or “untouched.” Entire communities of people call the arctic home. The Gwich'in and Inuit nations live on and have stewarded the northernmost reaches of this continent for some 24,000 years. At every imperialist and capitalist effort to destroy those lands with their greed, the Gwich'in and (some) Inuit have shown up to protest, testify, and speak out against those violences.

In 1903, two hunters tracking moose through the frozen Yukon wilderness stumbled upon a massive furrow in the mud — thirty feet long, flanked by clawed footprints the size of a man — and followed the trail straight to something that shouldn't exist. What a French traveler, a gold prospector, and a Jesuit priest would witness clambering out of a remote Arctic ravine defies every assumption about what still roams the Canadian wild.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Is it possible that dinosaurs lived recently? Like, in the 1900s? Even more bizarre… could they have been living in the 20th century in, of all places, the Arctic Circle? (The Monster of Partridge Creek) *** On May 3, 1881, Mena Muller and Louis Kettler took the ferry from New York City to Hoboken, New Jersey. They were going to be married in Hoboken, although they each had a spouse already. The legality of the marriage did not concern them; they were returning to Germany and would start a new life there. But somehow their plans went awry; that night Louis Kettler returned to New York alone and ten days later Mena Muller's body was found in New Jersey with a fractured skull. (The Guttenberg Murder) *** Timothy Trespas lives in his home in Brooklyn. And I do mean in his home – as he rarely leaves the house, because he feels he is being stalked everywhere he goes by gangs of individuals. And he's not the only one. (Gang Stalking Paranoia) *** They say walking is good for you… but that depends on where you walk, when you walk, and who you bump into, as one person found out late one night just trying to alleviate the boredom. (The Smiling Man) *** We've all slept in longer than we planned. What's the longest you ever slept in? Three hours? Thirteen hours? Did you ever sleep three days straight? I think I see maybe two hands raised out there. You two are amateurs. One man slept 300 days out of the year. (Never Enough Sleep) *** A man had several unexplained incidents while hiking in a German forest. Shaken by the events, he eventually encounters a man with bright green eyes. Was this a Guardian Angel or was it a gray alien?

Every winter, the Canadian Armed Forces runs Operation Nanook-Nunalivut, a military training exercise focused on Arctic defence. This year's operation was the largest to date. Up to 1,300 members were deployed across Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, alongside allies from the United States, Belgium, France and Denmark. The exercise has been running for nearly 20 years. But with rising geopolitical tensions, it is taking on new meaning. APTN video journalist Charlotte Morrit-Jacobs travelled to the training camp in Edzo, about 100 kilometres west of Yellowknife, for a two-part report from the ground. On this edition of APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens speaks with Morrit-Jacobs about what she saw at Operation Nanook and how the Canadian Armed Forces are preparing for the North. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.

PPI, C.R.E.A.M, Around the Arctic
This week I sat down with Donnie Vincent. We talk about the raw, brutal beauty of Arctic caribou hunts, close encounters with wolves, and the kind of respect for wild animals that most people will never fully understand. Donnie breaks down how slowing down, staying patient, and truly immersing himself in the landscape has changed him—not just as a hunter, but as a man. Donnie shares why deep presence might be the ultimate predator skill—and how getting that close to nature forces gratitude, humility, and responsibility. Hunting, for him, isn't a pursuit. It's a proving ground for purpose.Follow Donnie's Journey @donnie_vincentDonnie's NEW film "The Way Back" - Interested in my private coaching & FREE workouts?

Dinosaurs in the Arctic and Antarctic likely survived cold conditions by using similar strategies to extant species. The discovery of a new T. rex femur, nicknamed Goliath, potentially validates predictions about the maximum size of these dinosaurs. Or Does it?

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that the U.S. has complete control of Iranian airspace, the Iranian Navy is at the bottom of the ocean and the Iranian Air Force has been decimated. For the first time since WWII, a U.S. submarine torpedoed and sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean. General Dan "Raizin' Caine took his time at the podium to honor 4 of the fallen 6 American heroes who lost their lives serving their country. Former SECNAV Kenneth Braithwaite gives us an inside perspective of Operation Epic Fury and why this was such a crucial accomplishment of President Trump. Iran was the United States' greatest threat, if they were able to secure a nuclear bomb they would of handed it to proxies outside of any jurisdiction and wreak havoc on American cities. Now that China has lost two of its greatest allies, the next big showdown will be the world's superpowers in the Arctic.

Happy pub' day Elizabeth! Award-winning author and journalist Elizabeth Arnott spoke with us about her early studies of serial killers, a wild journalism career, and her latest period-set crime novel THE SECRET LIVES OF MURDERERS' WIVES. Elizabeth Arnott has written critically acclaimed historical fiction as Lizzie Pook (her maiden name). As a journalist, she covered everything from true crime to Arctic exploration and appeared in publications such as The Sunday Times, National Geographic, The New York Times Book Review, and The Guardian among others. She has described her much-anticipated latest historical crime novel as Mad Men with murders, and Lessons in Chemistry with a body count. The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives [available for pre-order and landing March 3, 2026; Berkley Hardcover], is a story that “... centers on three unlikely friends—all former wives of serial killers—and their efforts to solve a string of local killings in 1966 California.” The book was acquired in a heated seven-way auction and named one of “The Best Books for Book Clubs in 2026” by Glamour, and among “The 10 Most-Anticipated Mystery-Thriller Books of 2026” by Marie Claire. Parade wrote of the book, “... a story that feels like Bright Young Women collided with Mindhunter …. a propulsive, period-set whodunit perfect for anyone who loves early criminal profiling and Mad Men-era aesthetics with bite.” [This episode is sponsored by Ulysses.

Don't miss out on an evening celebration of a philanthropic milestone and the exploration of an increasingly important development in the Arctic. Today, we are witnessing the emergence of a new ocean. For almost all of human history, the Arctic Ocean has been a frozen sea dominated by sea ice whose properties include the ability to reflect sunlight. It has played an essential role in regulating the climate well beyond the Arctic. Simply put, it has long served as Earth's air conditioner. The changes in the Arctic Ocean are affecting many sectors, including global climate, of course, as well as conservation and environmental preservation, fisheries and aquaculture, other sea life, navigation, trade, tourism, renewable energy, marine biotech, green tech, vegetation, digital connectivity and infrastructure, and the 4 million people in five countries who live along the Arctic Ocean coastline including Indigenous peoples and their cultures. As the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation concludes its 25th year, we invite you to participate in a fascinating discussion on emerging conservation opportunities in the Arctic. Join leading conservationists Louie Porta and Enric Sala for an exclusive film screening and in-depth discussion about this rapidly changing ocean. Enric Sala is a National Geographic Explorer and director of Pristine Seas, a project that combines exploration, research, filmmaking, economics and policy—working with local communities, Indigenous peoples and governments to protect vital places in the ocean. Louie Porta is the program director of the Arctic Ocean Initiative at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California is a nonprofit public forum; we welcome donations made during registration to support the production of our programming.

Pavel Cenkl is a climate writer, ultrarunner, and Dean of Academics at Prescott College who has run hundreds of miles across Iceland, Scandinavia, and the Arctic through his project Climate Run. He grew up in the White Mountains, worked the AMC huts, started one of the first collegiate trail running teams in the U.S., and built a master's program combining movement, environmental philosophy, and ecology. In this conversation, Zoë and Brendan talk with Pavel about what happens when you push yourself to the edge of exhaustion in landscapes that are literally shifting beneath your feet — disappearing glaciers, the vulnerability of being utterly alone in midnight sun, why "resilience over resistance" is a better framework for running and life, and the moment he screamed so loud on day three of his Iceland crossing that he scared a goose into flight and accidentally had a paradigm shift.

In the early 1900s, explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen and a young mechanic named Iver Iversen traveled to northeast Greenland. Their mission? To recover the lost records of a doomed expedition that proved Greenland was a single landmass under Danish control. When their ship was crushed by ice and their crew departed, the mission turned into years of starvation and isolation in what has since become the world's largest national park.

David Dilley, a former NOAA and Air Force meteorologist, says climate is driven by natural “climate pulse” cycles from Earth–Moon–Sun gravitational/electromagnetic interactions, not human CO2. He argues warming and cooling have repeated for centuries and claims Arctic ice loss since 1990 is mainly from periodic surges of warm Atlantic subsurface water about every nine years. He critiques NOAA temperature averaging and ice-core CO2 estimates, citing fossil leaf stomata to claim CO2 often exceeded 300 ppm and that most post-1850 CO2 rise is natural. He forecasts a global cooling cycle starting around 2030 lasting 60–75 years, with shorter growing seasons, possible food shortages, and greater energy needs. He advocates shifting climate research funding and expanding thorium/molten-salt nuclear power.00:00 Shorter Growing Seasons & Food Shortage Warnings (2030s)00:31 Meet Meteorologist David Dilley + Climate Pulse Tech Overview03:49 CO₂ Since 1850: Challenging the “All Fossil Fuels” Claim05:05 Historic Warming & Cooling Cycles: Medieval Warm Period to Today07:44 Why Arctic Ice Melted (1990–2025): Warm Atlantic Surges10:52 How NOAA Calculates Global Temps: Oceans Skew the Average13:39 Earth–Moon–Sun Cycles: The “Climate Pulse” & Long-Term Rhythms17:49 Gravitational Peaks & the Coming Global Cooling Cycle21:55 CO₂ Proxies Explained: Ice Cores vs Fossil Leaf Stomata27:36 Correcting the CO₂ Record: Natural vs Human Contributions33:10 CO₂ in the Atmosphere: What the Numbers Actually Are35:30 Ocean Cycles 101: The Atlantic's 65–70 Year Warm/Cold Pattern38:42 ENSO Shift Ahead: La Niña to El Niño and ‘Erratic Weather' (2027–2030)40:27 2030 Arctic Freeze-Up Forecast: Cold Water ‘Plunges' and Europe's ‘Beast from the East'41:40 All Oceans + Solar/Geomagnetic Cycles: Why the 2030s Could Flip to Cooling43:16 Energy Crunch in a Cooling World: AI Power Demand, Heat Pumps, and Grid Risk44:39 Next-Gen Nuclear Pitch: Molten Salt & Thorium Reactors vs Wind51:39 Sudden Stratospheric Warming Explained: Jet Stream ‘Rubber Band' Break55:54 Food & Society Impacts: Shorter Growing Seasons, Europe Cold, and ‘Year Without a Summer'01:02:54 Wrap-Up: Call to Refocus Research Away from ‘Political Science'David Dilley's March 2025 appearance on this podcast (episode #284): https://youtu.be/DKNP_LXp0o8https://www.globalweathercycles.com/http://www.globalweatheroscillations.com/https://x.com/WeatherCycleshttps://www.youtube.com/@DilleyGlobalWeatherCycles=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
Episode Three traces how a single piece of furniture became a symbol of catastrophe, courtesy, and fragile diplomacy. Starting with the disappearance of Sir John Franklin and the brutal reality of 19th-century Arctic exploration, the episode follows the searches that led to HMS Resolute and explains how timber from that ship was later transformed into the famous Resolute Desk gifted by Queen Victoria to a wary United States. Along the way it explores the tense U.S.–British relationship of the era, the national pride and peril wrapped up in polar voyages, and how an unexpected act of respect turned a ship's remains into a lasting presidential icon — with Part Two promising the story's conclusion.
On this week's episode with host Davis Hovey, we hear about an annual joint-military exercise in the Arctic with some training taking place in Kodiak this week, Alaska Aerospace Corporation receives federal funding to update its facilities at the Kodiak Island spaceport, KUCB reports on the Board of Fisheries recent decision on Area M salmon fishing, Alaska Public Media reports on the state House's version of the budget bill, and Port Lions is replacing its water system.

From a remote outpost 80 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, FK Bodø/Glimt rose from the windswept coast of Norway to become the most terrifying tactical machine in Europe. In this episode, we deconstruct the "Midnight Men"—a club that ignores traditional football geography to play a relentless, high-octane brand of attacking football that famously dismantled José Mourinho's AS Roma 6–1. We explore Kjetil Knutsen's revolutionary system, the staggering 103-goal season that redefined the Eliteserien, and how their sustainable "develop and sell" model keeps the giants of Europe on their toes. It's a story of frozen pitches, endless sunlight, and a tactical revolution that proves brilliance can bloom even in the coldest corners of the map.

rWotD Episode 3223: Peel Sound Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 1 March 2026, is Peel Sound.Peel Sound is an Arctic waterway in the Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavut, Canada. It separates Somerset Island on the east from Prince of Wales Island on the west. To the north it opens onto Parry Channel while its southern end merges with Franklin Strait.There are several named islands within the sound, including: Lock, Vivian, Prescott, Pandora, Otrick, Barth, De la Roquette, and Gibson.Sir John Franklin passed through the strait in 1846 during an unseasonably warm summer, since typically Peel Sound is frozen. Its east side was traced by James Clark Ross in 1849. In 1858 Francis Leopold McClintock tried to penetrate it and was blocked by ice.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:16 UTC on Sunday, 1 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Peel Sound on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.
Jeremie McGowan is an artist, designer, and researcher. Amund Sjolie Sveen is an artist. And together, they created Real. Arctic., an exhibition that examines how the word “Arctic” is used in branding, institutions, geopolitics, and everyday consumer products — and how the use of that word shapes what we think we know about the arctic. Their work blurs the line between critique and commodity, asking who gets to define the Arctic, who profits from it, and what gets flattened in the process. Throughout the exhibition, the work shifts form — from displays of “Pure Arctic” deodorant to an expanding archive of Arctic-branded objects — asking viewers to reconsider what is real and what has been manufactured. It explores how art and design can both construct and unravel powerful narratives about place, and what responsibility comes with working inside those systems. Jeremie and Amund collect and document products from around the world that call themselves “Arctic,” or borrow the image, the light, or the myth of the Arctic to sell something. Even when those products have no connection to the place itself. Deodorants that promise Arctic purity, chewing gum that offers polar freshness, outdoor brands that are marketed around rugged endurance and masculine extremes. Again and again, the Arctic appears as clean, untouched, and invigorating — a blank canvas for refreshment or conquest. As Jeremie points out, much of that marketing is driven by an outsider fantasy: the idea that you're the first, the only one to witness the wilderness or the Northern Lights, even as that experience is packaged and sold en masse. Amund says that the Arctic's power as a word may lie in its perceived remoteness. Because it feels unknown, it can be filled with whatever we want it to mean. And in that process, the realities of the place itself and the people who live there often fall away and what remains is a brand. And then, beneath all of that, is a deeper question about power: who gets to define a place, and whose version of that place becomes the story that guides our understanding of it.
Jeremie McGowan is an artist, designer, and researcher. Amund Sjolie Sveen is an artist. And together, they created Real. Arctic., an exhibition that examines how the word “Arctic” is used in branding, institutions, geopolitics, and everyday consumer products — and how the use of that word shapes what we think we know about the arctic. Their work blurs the line between critique and commodity, asking who gets to define the Arctic, who profits from it, and what gets flattened in the process. Throughout the exhibition, the work shifts form — from displays of “Pure Arctic” deodorant to an expanding archive of Arctic-branded objects — asking viewers to reconsider what is real and what has been manufactured. It explores how art and design can both construct and unravel powerful narratives about place, and what responsibility comes with working inside those systems. Jeremie and Amund collect and document products from around the world that call themselves “Arctic,” or borrow the image, the light, or the myth of the Arctic to sell something. Even when those products have no connection to the place itself. Deodorants that promise Arctic purity, chewing gum that offers polar freshness, outdoor brands that are marketed around rugged endurance and masculine extremes. Again and again, the Arctic appears as clean, untouched, and invigorating — a blank canvas for refreshment or conquest. As Jeremie points out, much of that marketing is driven by an outsider fantasy: the idea that you're the first, the only one to witness the wilderness or the Northern Lights, even as that experience is packaged and sold en masse. Amund says that the Arctic's power as a word may lie in its perceived remoteness. Because it feels unknown, it can be filled with whatever we want it to mean. And in that process, the realities of the place itself and the people who live there often fall away and what remains is a brand. And then, beneath all of that, is a deeper question about power: who gets to define a place, and whose version of that place becomes the story that guides our understanding of it.
Multiple storms will bring rounds of snow, ice and rain from the Midwest to the Northeast as Arctic air briefly surges south, raising risks of slick travel, ice jams and urban flooding into midweek. Also, two dogs rescued on Monday during a blizzard in Babylon, New York have been returned home. The man who rescued them said, “it could have been a tragedy. The number of people who stopped to help, it shows that people do care.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Minnesota Arctic explorer Will Steger has trekked across thousands of miles of ice in both the north and South Poles, crossing the Larsen Ice Shelves a few years before they disintegrated and collapsed into the sea. MPR News chief meteorologist Paul Huttner spoke with Steger about dramatic changes he's seen in Arctic regions over the past several decades.
NK News Data Correspondent Anton Sokolin joins this week's episode to discuss the recent controversy around the Russian Embassy in Seoul displaying a large “Victory will be Ours” banner as the fourth anniversary of the Ukraine war approached. The episode then pivots to a bigger question: how much Russia actually cares about South Korea. Anton explains how Korea has long held importance in Russian foreign policy, even if the current moment is skewed toward Pyongyang due to the Russia–North Korea strategic partnership and wartime alignment. John and Anton also dig into the practical side of “hedging” in Seoul's Russia policy: South Korea's sanctions alignment with the West alongside continued trade in non-sanctioned areas and companies' attempts to keep options open for a postwar return. A major forward-looking thread is the Northern Sea Route. Anton explains the appeal for South Korea of shipping containers via the Arctic to cut transit time to European ports like Rotterdam, and why Russia's nuclear-powered icebreaker fleet is central to the route. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Managing Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, delivering deep, clear analysis of South Korean politics, diplomacy, security, society and technology for professionals who need more than headlines.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says she is willing to help a northern Wisconsin town get reimbursed for money it paid to access roads. As Danielle Kaeding reports, the town of Lac du Flambeau made payments to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for access to four disputed roads. Three years ago, the Lac du Flambeau tribe barricaded four roads after negotiations failed over expired easements on roads crossing tribal lands. While roads later reopened, the town paid the tribe to maintain access. In a House judiciary committee hearing this month, U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) called the payments extortion. “They ultimately got $600,000 from the town of Lac du Flambeau.” In the hearing, Tiffany asked Bondi if she would seek compensation for the town in the longstanding feud. Bondi had this to say. “We would more than welcome working with you.” The tribe said the payments were not extortion. Lac du Flambeau Tribal President John Johnson Sr. says Tiffany's statements were false and a direct attack on tribal sovereignty and treaty rights. The tribe says it remains committed to working with local, state, and federal officials to resolve road access issues in a way that respects residents' safety and laws governing Indian lands. The Arctic continues to warm faster than other parts of the world, and is experiencing record high temperatures and record low levels of sea ice. That is according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which released its report card for the region in December. As the Alaska Desk's Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports, those findings directly affect Alaska Indigenous communities. The Arctic Report Card has been documenting changes in snow and sea ice cover, as well as air and ocean temperatures in the northern part of the globe for the past 20 years. It has shown that, in that time period, the Arctic's annual temperature has increased at more than double the global rate of temperature changes. Hannah-Marie Ladd is the director of Indigenous Sentinels Network. “These changes cascade directly into people’s lives, affecting fisheries, coastal safety, and subsistence harvests. We are no longer just documenting warming. We are witnessing an entire marine ecosystem, which is tied to our economies and culture, transform within a single generation.” The report highlights an emerging phenomenon called rusting rivers. That is when permafrost thaw causes ground water to seep deeper and interact with mineral deposits, which likely turns some streams and rivers to a rusty orange color. Abigail Pruitt says that, in Alaska, over 200 streams turned orange in recent years. “Within Kobuk Valley National Park, we observed the complete loss of juvenile Dolly Varden and Slimy Sculpin, in a tributary to the Akillik river when it turned orange. Beyond the effects on fish, rusting rivers may impact drinking water supplies to rural communities as well.” The report highlights how Indigenous communities have been observing the changes in their environments and wildlife and collaborating with scientists to better understand those changes. Ladd, with the Indigenous Sentinels Network, describes one example of such work. She says that St. Paul residents collect samples of harvested traditional foods – like seabirds, marine mammals and halibut. Those samples are tested in a tribally owned lab and analyzed for contaminants like mercury. “Indigenous leadership, local workforce development and community driven observing are not optional. They’re essential to understanding the Arctic that we have today and preparing for the Arctic we are moving into.” In response to a question about how federal cuts to climate science might affect the future of the Arctic Report Card, NOAA officials said that they will continue their efforts to observe the changing environment.

In this episode, Robert “Bob” Pizzini is joined by Alexandra (“Big Perm”) Mensing, U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot. Alexandra recounts growing up in Raleigh, the influence of sports and coaching, choosing the Naval Academy, and completing leadership and survival training including NOLS and SERE. She explains aviation and jet selection, E/F single- vs two-seat aircraft, and carrier operations, including Arctic Circle “blue nose” deployment, NATO exercises, and later Middle East operations. She describes combat defensive counter-air missions and becoming the first female naval aviator to employ an AIM-120 to destroy a one-way attack drone threatening the USS Harry S. Truman, alongside the stresses of events like a friendly-fire shootdown and ejections. Alexandra discusses leadership as building team commitment, transitioning to the Navy Reserve, and starting a NASA Langley SkillBridge internship while exploring airlines and business. Learn about all of these and more nuggets of insight in this latest episode of the Elevate Your Leadership podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sports build crucial leadership foundations - volleyball coach Lee demonstrated the balance of pushing hard during practice while being supportive afterward Naval aviation selection is merit-based and gradual - grades, performance, and timing determine assignments from basic flight school through specific aircraft SERE school's psychological training proves invaluable - the mental aspects of survival and humanizing yourself in capture scenarios matter more than physical skills Combat deployments require flexibility - from Arctic operations to Red Sea drone defense, naval aviators adapt to rapidly changing global threats First female naval aviator to employ AIM-120 in combat - shot down one-way attack drone threatening USS Harry S. Truman with radar-guided missile after IR missile failed Leadership means building commitment, not compliance - great leaders make people want to be part of something rather than forcing them through authority Career transitions require accepting when you're "complete" - knowing when you've accomplished your goals allows confident movement to the next chapter QUOTES "Just work hard during practice, but then be super friendly afterwards. So a good balance of being tough to get you to work hard, but then like congratulatory when you did something well" "The standards are the same... If a woman can meet the same standard, then there shouldn't be a difference" "A good leader is someone who can bring everyone together to be on the same team and want to be on the same team" "I felt complete. Like I was content with my career... and I was like proud of all the things I got to do" Connect and learn more from Alexandra "Big Perm" Mensing.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-mensing-4a6109203/ About Robert: Robert is a #1 Best Selling Author, Speaker, Award-Winning CEO, and above all, a Leadership Coach by heart.

Record-breaking EV milestones, the hidden dangers of fossil fuel crime, and a real-world test of what happens when a country bans new gas cars. In China, Nio pulled off an astonishing 175,000 battery swaps in a single day during the Lunar New Year travel rush — about two swaps every second — with drivers in and out in three to five minutes. It's a massive stress test that shows how battery swapping could compete with, or even outperform, traditional refueling for convenience and scale.

Starting at just $1 per month! We also examine how fuel theft in Mexico has evolved from small-time pipeline tapping into a billion-dollar criminal enterprise. Cartels now make enormous profits stealing oil and gas, and the consequences can be deadly. The 2019 pipeline explosion in Tlahuelilpan, which killed at least 137 people, remains one of the most tragic examples of how dangerous this underground economy can be. What began decades ago as localized "Robin Hood" style fuel theft has grown into an industrialized operation that in some regions rivals drug trafficking in profitability. Meanwhile, Ethiopia's 2024 ban on new combustion car sales is turning out to be less dramatic than critics predicted — and more effective. The move was driven largely by economics, as the country had been spending billions annually on refined fuel imports. With major hydropower expansion, including the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, Ethiopia now has excess clean electricity, growing EV adoption, and dramatically lower monthly fueling costs for drivers.

Today we had the very exciting and interesting opportunity to visit with Dr. Fiona Murray, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Co-Director of the Innovation Initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Fiona is an internationally recognized policy expert on innovation ecosystems and the transformation of investments in science and technology into deep-tech startup ventures that address global challenges. In addition to her roles at MIT, where she previously served as an Associate Dean for Innovation, she is Chair of the NATO Innovation Fund and an Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. She was awarded a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her services to innovation and entrepreneurship in the United Kingdom. Fiona also serves on the UK Ministry of Defence Innovation Advisory Panel and the European Innovation Council Joint Expert Group and sits on a number of boards. We were thrilled to host Fiona to explore global markets, innovation ecosystems, and the shifting geopolitical landscape shaping technology and capital flows. In our conversation, Fiona shares her perspective on the intersection of geopolitics and innovation and how geopolitical shocks increasingly shape technology development and commercialization. She outlines the post-2016 shift toward framing priority technologies through the lens of national and economic security, and the growing geopolitical constraints facing entrepreneurs. Drawing on discussions at the Munich Security Conference, Fiona highlights Europe's strong talent base alongside structural constraints, including smaller venture capital pools, fragmented markets, pension fund limitations, and bureaucratic procurement processes. We explore how defense and security startups think about U.S. versus European capital and transatlantic expansion, the growing importance of dual-use investment, and resilience as a business case. Fiona explains NATO's two-pronged innovation strategy and emphasizes the need for a “resilience premium” to support domestic and allied production. We discuss China's competitive innovation model, industrial policy lessons for the West, and the need to scale critical technologies to reduce supply chain dependence and rebuild manufacturing capacity across allied markets. Fiona also shares her perspective at MIT, where students are increasingly prioritizing defense, security, and resilience, alongside energy and climate reframed through critical minerals and system resilience, with AI integration across disciplines. We cover AI's role in lowering experimentation costs through simulation, large-company AI execution pitfalls, drone and autonomy lessons from Ukraine, and how to avoid overspending on AI. We close by asking where she sees innovation over the next decade, which she describes as “innovation at the extremes,” including fusion energy, Arctic navigation and mining, space commercialization, and other frontier environments. It was a fascinating discussion and we greatly appreciate Fiona for sharing her valuable time and insights. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that this week is centered on Tuesday's State of the Union address and the policy implications that follow. On the bond market front, the 10-year remains steady, with traders' attention turning to Friday's PPI report. On the crude oil market front, WTI is trading at ~$66/bbl as markets weigh the potential for a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal versus whether the U.S. follows through on its threat of limited military strikes. WTI price could fall to low-$60/bbl if a nuclear deal is reached or rise to $70/bbl on escalation. The DJIA and S&P 500 are both up marginally since the Supreme Court struck down President Trump's global tariffs last Friday. Technology stocks have staged a modest rebound after several weeks of underperformance. Energy has outperformed over the past week but has underperformed since last Friday's tariff announcement.

Both archaeology and the Bible suggest that the world was once quite different from the world we know today. Each agrees that the earth's climate was once much more uniform than it is today.At one time the tropics may have extended into what are today polar regions. However, the Bible and evolutionary geology don't agree on how long ago that was. Bible-believing geologists, on the other hand, are reporting evidence to support the Bible's story of history.In the past years, scientists have been surprised to discover dinosaur fossils in Alaska. Dinosaurs need warm temperatures—warmer than Alaska was thought to have been. In 1986, on Canada's Axel Heiberg Island, only 600 miles from the North Pole, scientists found a huge, dense forest. Some of the trees were well over 125 feet tall. They have been snapped off at the stump and are neither fossilized nor petrified, but remain as fresh wood. Even some of the leaves are still intact. The area was filled with spruce, hickory, dawn redwood and cypress trees and was evidently a swamp, since tropical turtle and alligator remains have also been found. Tree rings show that the area was warmer in the recent past, while the size of the rings tell us that there were short, hot summers during which rapid growth occurred, followed by long, dark winters as there are today.The most interesting conclusion reached by the scientific team is that the entire region must have been subjected to a huge flood! This discovery tells us that all of geology must be restructured to present a history that agrees with the Bible's story of the earth's past.Psalm 119:89“For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.”Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, I thank You that Your Word is true and trustworthy. Let my faith be more than a faith of words or simply comfort in bad times. Instruct me through the Bible so that my faith is a way of life. In Jesus' Name. Amen.REF: Search for a Tropical Arctic (Television documentary). Federal Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (Canada).

→ My one stop shop for quality supplements: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Episode Description If coffee isn't cutting it anymore—and you're exhausted but still can't sleep—this episode is for you. That "wired but tired" feeling isn't a sleep problem or even a stress problem. It's your HPA axis stuck in overdrive. Your body can't tell the difference between a work deadline and a life-threatening emergency, so your stress response never shuts off. The supplement industry knows you're burned out. That's why they're pushing adrenal cocktails, proprietary blends with pixie dust dosing, and adaptogens stacks with zero human research behind them. Dr. Christian Gonzalez cut through the noise to find the five most clinically validated adaptogens—herbs proven in randomized controlled trials to actually restore your stress response. In this episode, Dr. G breaks down: • The adaptogen that reduced cortisol by 27% in a meta-analysis of 25 human trials • Which Soviet-era herb improved VO2 max and is still used by athletes today • The "Queen of Herbs" that lowered inflammatory markers by 28% in stressed adults • Why one popular adaptogen might cause emotional flatness in certain people—and who should avoid it • The Arctic root that pulled people out of burnout in just four weeks He's ranking each adaptogen by strength of clinical evidence, walking through the mechanisms, exact dosing, who it's for, who it's not for, and the brands that actually test their products. Your adrenals aren't broken. They just need the right support. This episode gives you the clinical roadmap to get there.

It's Marvel Monday, and today it's Captain America's turn!ABOUT CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGERSteve Rogers, a rejected military soldier, transforms into Captain America after taking a dose of a "Super-Soldier serum". But being Captain America comes at a price as he attempts to take down a warmonger and a terrorist organization.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGERJuly 22, 2011 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGERChris Evans as Captain America/Steve RogersHugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt/Red SkullSamuel L. Jackson as Nick FuryHayley Atwell as Peggy CarterSebastian Stan as James Buchanan 'Bucky' BarnesBRAN'S SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with some scientists in the Arctic finding an old aircraft with someone frozen inside along with a circular shield. WHO COULD IT BEEEEEE?Flash back to March 1942, during World War II. Nazi dude and Hydra leader Johann Schmidt steals a mysterious glowing cube called the Tesseract, which possesses untold godly powers.In New York City, we meet little Steve Rogers. All Steve wants more than anything is to be in the Army, but he's rejected due to being a tiny boy. Dr. Abraham Erskine overhears Steve talking to his buddy Bucky Barnes about how badly he wants to serve his country, so he allows Rogers to enlist.What Steve doesn't know is that Dr. Erskine is interested in Steve for something called the "super-soldier" experiment under Erskine, along with British MI6 agent Peggy Carter. Once Steve selflessly jumps on a grenade as part of a test, they know he's their guy. Erskine tells Rogers that Schmidt once took a prototype version of the super-soldier formula that gave him superhuman strength but painfully changed his appearance. So, ya know, keep that in mind.It's lab time. Steve gets hooked up to this equipment and injected with all sorts of stuff and then put into this chamber. He's yelling and screaming but tells them to keep going. Once over, Steve comes out of the chamber and is frickin' jacked.Turns out Schmidt sent an assassin to kill Erskine who gets away in a car. But Steve is now a super soldier, so he just races him down by running after him. Before Steve can question him, he kills himself with a cyanide capsule and destroys the formula while he's at it.Steve doesn't get to super soldier much. Instead, he's sent on a tour as "Captain America" to sing & dance and promote war while scientists study his blood and attempt to reverse-engineer the formula. But when Rogers finds out that Bucky is MIA, he demands to fly behind enemy lines to find him. Turns out it was Schmidt all along. Steve confronts Schmidt. Schmidt's mask is taken off to reveal he is red. I suggest we call him "Red Skull".Steve, Bucky, and some other freed prisoners form a band...of brothers... called the Howling Commandos. Steve gets a new suit in the process and potentially a new gal 'cause the sparks between him and Peggy Carter are off the charts!Using information extracted from Zola (Red Skull's little henchman), the final Hydra stronghold is located, and Rogers leads an attack to stop Schmidt from doing all the bad things he wants to do. Right before Steve climbs aboard Schmidt's super-bomber, he and Peggy kiss big ones!He hops on the plane just before it takes off and they fight. The Tesseract is freed from its container, and Red Skull uses it to open a portal. The Tesseract then burns through the plane and falls into the ocean. Steve knows he has to go after it, so he radios Peggy to say goodbye and then crashes into the Arctic. Everyone assumes Steve Rogers died after they ultimately find the Tesseract on the ocean floor.Steve wakes up in a 1940s-style hospital room. He hears a radio broadcast of a baseball game that he attended in 1941 and becomes immediately suspicious. So he breaks out of his room and runs into Times Square, blown away by all the screeeens! Nick Fury shows up and tells him that he has been asleep for almost 70 years. In a post-credits scene, we basically get an Avengers trailer. Fury approaches Rogers and proposes a mission with worldwide ramifications. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?
