Rescue helicopters finally reach the campers, Sue and Bruce, as well as other stranded survivors like TV reporter David Crockett and logger Jim Scymanky. But with nightfall approaching, Sue worries that rescuers won't be able to find her injured friends, Dan Balch and Brian Thomas, in time. With the roads onto the mountain impassible, blocked by trees and debris, rescuers' only chance of reaching survivors quickly is by helicopter. But the thick ash blanketing the landscape makes landing the copters a major challenge — if ash gets caught in the rotors, they risk crashing. Meanwhile, the logging team and the campers who suffered severe burns are in desperate need of medical attention. As their chance of surviving dwindles, camper Sue Ruff faces the repercussions of deciding to leave her friends behind.

On this week's show we look at how the strategies keep changing in the streaming wars. We spend your money and design a home theater system for less than $2000. And as usual we read your email and take a look at the week's news. News: Broadcast Schedule's New Paradigm 75% of Streamers Have Tried an Ad-Supported Plan Google TV users will soon be asked to rate apps Viewers can now add Apple TV+ to a DIRECTV subscription Top Streaming Services Change Up Strategies A Business Insider article suggests the streaming wars have shifted from competition to strategic alliances and distinct priorities. Netflix now prioritizes engagement over subscriber numbers, revamping its homepage with vertical video to rival YouTube and TikTok. Disney focuses on subscriber growth through bundles with Hulu and ESPN, aiming for profitable expansion. Warner Bros. Discovery's Max emphasizes profitability, leveraging high-quality content to retain subscribers rather than competing with Netflix's scale. Engagement is key as streamers build ad businesses. Netflix, with 8% of U.S. connected TV watch time, uses engagement to reduce churn and support its $2.2 billion ad business. Amazon's Prime Video scales ads by enabling them for all users unless they opt out, using shopping data to boost ad effectiveness. While Netflix and Amazon focus on engagement for ads, Disney, Paramount+ (79 million subscribers), and Peacock (41 million) prioritize subscriber growth, though neither is profitable yet. Profitability is critical for WBD, which has cut Max's content spending to focus on financial sustainability, leveraging HBO's legacy content. Its bundling with Disney+ and Hulu supports international growth. Apple TV+ faces high churn due to its limited library, leaving its strategy unclear. As streamers balance growth, engagement, and profitability, alliances and niche strategies redefine success in a crowded market. Home Theater System for under $2000 Ok so you bought a house and spent all your money but you already had a 70” TV from your previous home. And while that has been great you want something more out of your TV watching experience. Somehow you scrape together a $2000 budget and want to know what kind of “Home Theater” System you can cobble together to provide you with immersive surround sound. For this exercise we are assuming a typical living room (e.g., ~15x20 ft) and a focus on movies and general entertainment. We will emphasize value and performance while keeping the setup beginner-friendly. Key Considerations Room Size: Our medium-sized living room can benefit from a 5.1 or possibly a 5.1.2 (Dolby Atmos) setup for surround sound. We have chosen to stay with a 5.1 system for budget concerns. Priorities: Clear dialogue, deep bass, and immersive surround effects are key for movies and gaming. Music performance is secondary but still considered. Components: You'll need an AV receiver, speakers (front, center, surrounds), a subwoofer, and a streaming device. Setup: We opted for wired speakers for reliability and cost savings over wireless systems, which can eat into the budget. Recommended System AV Receiver: Denon AVR-S760H 2021 Model ($500 from Amazon) We are on a budget so a 2021 model that does everything you need for a small family room on a budget is absolutely the right call here. Don't overlook last year's models on your A/V equipment. No one will walk into your house and whisper about last years (or four years ago) model behind your back. This is a 7.2-channel receiver with 75W per channel, supporting 4K/120Hz, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and room calibration (Audyssey). It's versatile, beginner-friendly, and handles modern formats for movies and gaming. 6 HDMI inputs (3 with 8K support), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and HEOS for streaming. Refurbished units can save even more. Speaker System: RSL CG3M 5.1 home theater system ($850 Direct from RSL) We splurged a little on the speakers. The CG3Ms will not disappoint! We have been fans of RSL since we had Joe Rogers on the show about 15 years ago. He is a musician and understands what music is supposed to sound like and has designed speakers with that in mind. This compact speaker system will put you right in the middle of a concert or movie! You really can't get better at this price. The 300 watt 10” subwoofer is plenty for your small to medium sized family room. Speaker Wire and Cables: Monoprice ($50 Budget) Pretty much from day one we have been saying buy good cables but don't spend a lot of money doing so. $50 at Monoprice goes a long way for your Speaker and HDMI cables. Streaming Device: ($150 Budget) A streaming device enhances your home theater by providing access to all kinds of entertainment options, including Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+,and YouTube. These dedicated streaming devices offer faster performance, regular software updates, and broader app compatibility. They also support advanced features like 4K HDR, Dolby Atmos, and voice control, elevating your viewing experience with superior picture and sound quality. Additionally, devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Apple TV are portable, affordable, and easy to set up, making them a versatile upgrade for any home theater, regardless of your TV's age or brand. Sales Tax: $90 - $150 Unfortunately we can't forget the tax man. There are a few places in the US that do not have a sales tax and other areas range from 6% up to 10%. Total Cost: ~$1,640-$1,700 This leaves ~$300-$360 for a programmable remote, Atmos, or height speakers. Or a year of a new streaming service. This system balances cost, performance, and future expandability, delivering an elevated experience for your new home without breaking the bank.
The survivors of the Mount St. Helens eruption find themselves in an alien world, with toppled trees, mudslides, and thick, hot ash covering everything.

In March 1980, after 120 years of dormancy, the volcano Mount St. Helens in Washington State begins showing signs of life. Scientists warn that a major eruption is coming, but they're unable to completely block off access to the mountain. Some locals, like lodge owner Harry Truman, refuse to leave. And on May 18, when the volcano finally explodes, 150 people are caught in the deadly path of destruction.

The FinTech Reboot Solar Has Been Waiting ForWhat happens when local banks finally start playing ball in solar lending? Ravi Mikkelsen is here to tell us.In this “Where Are They Now” episode, we reconnect with Ravi Mikkelsen, the co-founder and CEO of Atmos Financial, who first joined SunCast in 2021.

Ravi has been quietly building an answer in the form of a fintech platform that bridges the gap between traditional banking and solar projects.If you've ever wondered why solar loans still feel so complicated—or what it would take to truly democratize clean energy finance—this is your episode.
「日本の民間企業初!バイオ実験衛星の打ち上げに成功 日本の宇宙スタートアップ「IDDK」×ドイツ「ATMOS社」が共同でバイオ実験」 日本で初めてとなる民間企業が主導したバイオ実験衛星の打ち上げに成功しました。22日、アメリカ・フロリダ州で打ち上げられたスペースXのロケット。それを静かに見守る人たちがいます。IDDK研究開発部・安部成就さん:自分が関わったプロダクトが宇宙に飛んでいくのは、すごくどきどきします。ロケットが地球を離れ、日本の民間企業では初めてとなる宇宙でのバイオ実験への挑戦が始まりました。今回行われたのは、日本の宇宙スタートアップ「IDDK」とドイツの「ATMOS社」が共同で行うバイオ実験です。IDDKは、宇宙空間に浮かぶ人工衛星で人間が関与することなく全自動でバイオ実験を行う装置を開発。実験環境の提供はもちろん、ロケットの打ち上げや人工衛星の手配、さらには帰還まで無人で完結するワンストップサービスを世界に先駆けて提供するとしています。今回の実験を行った背景には、ISS(国際宇宙ステーション)の2030年の運用終了が大きく関係しています。人工衛星を用いた日本独自のプラットホームを構築することで、宇宙ステーションに頼らない自由に使える実験の場として役立てたい狙いです。打ち上げから約1時間半、実験装置から最初の「動いてますよ!」の反応が。実験装置は無事稼働、成功です。この宇宙バイオ実験が可能になることで、宇宙環境を活用した創薬・アンチエイジングなど、宇宙空間でのさまざまな生命科学研究をサポートしたいといいます。IDDK代表取締役・上野宗一郎さん:人のいない環境をベースにできるので、チャレンジングな実験もできる可能性があるっていうのが魅力になるかなと思っている。人間が宇宙に行き、そこを下支えしているような、要はインフラになっていくようなシステム・プラットホームとして育てていきたいというふうに考えています。
Elmo and his son Randy leave the girls behind, paddling ahead in their Sport-Yak to find help—but trouble continues to follow.

More Top Sustainable Stocks To Consider includes several articles featuring terrific renewable energy, healthcare, branded consumer and natural food stocks. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 152, April 18, 2025 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 152, published April 18, 2025, titled “More Top Sustainable Stocks To Consider.” It's presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. Additionally, quotes about individual companies are brief. Please visit the podcast's webpage for links to the articles and additional company and stock information. ------------------------------------------------------------- More Top Sustainable Stocks To Consider (1) Now, the following articles offer some interesting investment ideas. The first article is titled ESG Still Matters. 3 Defensive Stocks That Make the Grade. It's by Teresa Rivas and seen on barrons.com. Here are a few quotes from her article. “Portfolio manager Bill Davis is shutting out all the noise and sticking to his guns. The term ESG has been a lightning rod for a long time, but it is—and always has been—simply ‘a proxy for finding a well managed company…' Davis puts his money where his mouth when it comes to the actively managed Hennessy Stance ESG ETF, which doesn't invest in tobacco, fossil fuel, weapons, and similar areas. He does make exceptions based on company principles. The fund uses an algorithm to rank S&P 500 companies by various risk factors and metrics, and identifies those most likely to generate positive alpha and minimize harm. It also helps avoid being reactionary to the zigzags of U.S. policy these days. That strategy, which also avoids large positions, hasn't distinguished itself in these past few years when the Magnificent Seven tech stocks and a handful of other megacaps drove index performance—the fund, though, does have positions in Google, Apple, and Netflix. Still, Davis stands firm. The strategy can show its worth when investors are more concerned with downside risk protection. There are plenty of companies, though, that Davis feels differently about. He likes drug distributor Cardinal Health CAH —peer to Barron's pick McKesson—because healthcare remains a safe haven and Cardinal has done particularly well—doubling the S&P 500 in recent years. Its earnings growth profile is good and ‘it's a solid company with large enough scale to have pricing power.' Also making the cut is Atmos Energy AIO Davis cites the natural-gas utility's relative momentum—the shares are up nearly 30% in the past year—and its defensive qualities. Although the fund shies away from fossil fuels, distributors like Atmos that are transparent, focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, do fit the bill. Davis owns staple General Mills GIS as well, again for its defensive qualities, including a 4% yield, and its size—big enough to exert pricing power. He does see only modest upside, but also ‘low downside, so it's a good fit for our portfolio.'” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More Top Sustainable Stocks To Consider (2) This second article brings us back to the most likely favourite sector for ethical and sustainable investors. Its title is 5 Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy Amid Growing Market Demand by Nalak Das at Zacks and seen on finance.yahoo.com.

After a powerful storm destroys their sailboat and leaves them stranded on a remote Alaskan island, Elmo Wortman and his children build a raft, determined to reach a friend's cabin 25 miles north.

Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent stop by Strata-gee to see how Sonos is strategorizing to scramble back to the summit of the sound souk with a new … oh, wait, change in plans! Then they ally themselves (very conditionally) with a British-ish mastering engineer who contends that high-priced DACs are a scam. Then they bring their incomparable incredulity to bear on the question of whether adding hobbled Dolby Atmos functionality to Cadillacs is the way forward for Atmos or Cadillac.

When the Americans finally act out and decide to fight for their lives, they're left alone in an inhospitable mountain rage full of rebel militants and a trigger happy army. Far more than just a rescue mission, the climbers have to cross miles of treacherous terrain in the black of night with hopes that they won't be mistaken for an insurgent militia by the Kyrgyz army. And if they do make it back to civilization, will they be able to make it all the way back home to the US. And if they do will anyone believe their story?Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

It's not really up for debate that the “Neon” Nike Air Max 95 is the best version of the Air Max 95 that's ever released. But what are the other great colorways worth celebrating? How good is Atmos' “Beast Pack”? What about insidery pairs like the Mita flip on the Sergio Lozano prototype? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty break down a ranked list of the best Air Max 95s of all time in this episode. Also, they catch up on sneaker news like the leak of the Adidas AE 2, the frenzied drop of the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 9, and the F1 endorsement deal between Lewis Hamilton and Nike that never happened.

Producer and musician (Spoon) Jim Eno joins collaborators from Colorado-based fuzz folk band autumnal to discuss how he used Dolby Atmos to mix a totally immersive audio experience for their song, “breathing.”“There's so much space.

On this week's show we review ten innovations we feel had the most impact on how we consume entertainment in our homes. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: DIRECTV STREAM introduces new slimmed-down channel plans Sling TV loses 50,000 subscribers to close out 2024 Amazon Announces Plans To Unveil New Alexa Devices in 2025 Phillips expands its Roku TV range with a $1,300 65-inch OLED Other: Friendly TV 15" Pix-Star Digital Frame Skylight Digital Frame Ten Innovations that have Transformed Our Home Theaters Over the last decade, several innovations have significantly transformed the home theater experience. This week we will review ten innovations we feel had the most impact on how we consume entertainment in our homes. 4K HDR and 8K Resolution - The proliferation of 4K UHD content, along with High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology, has improved visual quality significantly, providing more vivid colors and enhanced contrast. Three-Dimensional Sound - Unlike traditional surround sound systems that rely on channels (e.g., 5.1 or 7.1 setups), object-based audio allows sound designers to place sounds as individual objects in a 3D space. This results in a more immersive audio experience, making viewers feel as if sound is coming from all around them, including overhead. Streaming Devices and Services - The rise of smart TVs and streaming devices has made it easier to access a vast library of content without the need for physical media, further enhancing the home theater experience. Flexible Speaker Configuration - Users are no longer limited to a fixed number of speakers. With object-based audio, systems can scale from simple soundbars to complex multi-speaker setups, adapting to the room's acoustics and the viewer's preferences. Enhanced Content Availability - Many streaming services and Blu-ray discs now offer content mixed in Atmos or similar formats, increasing the accessibility of high-quality audio experiences. Home Theater Integration - The growth of AV receivers and sound systems optimized for these formats has made it easier for consumers to integrate advanced audio technology into their home theater setups without needing extensive technical knowledge. Smart Home Integration - The integration of home theater systems with smart home devices (e.g., voice assistants, smart lighting) allows for a more personalized and convenient viewing experience. Projection Technology - Advancements in projector technology, including ultra-short throw projectors and improvements in brightness and contrast ratios, have made it possible to achieve a cinematic experience in various home sizes. Advanced Room Correction - Room correction technologies have improved significantly, allowing for better sound calibration in different environments. This ensures that the audio performance is optimized for the specific acoustics of your room. New Panel Technology - OLED, LED, Mini and Micro LED have not only improved the picture we look at but have brought down prices to the point where you can buy a 75” TV for a few hundred dollars. And the worst of these TVs are better than the best TVs that were available at the start of the HD revolution. Of this list, which do you think had the biggest impact? Is there something else you felt should be on this list? Let us know.
In August of the year 2000, four American rock climbers set out to explore the majesty of the Pamir Alai Mountain range in Kyrgyzstan. But only a week into their expedition, they're taken captive by rebel militants. The group is forced to hike through brutal terrain under the cover of night to avoid detection by the Kyrgyz army. With little to no food or water provided by their captors, the young climbing team had to struggle through severe dehydration and hunger. Finally, they realized they would have to fight for their lives to escape. It's a thrilling story of survival in the face of violence and terror, and doing whatever it takes to make it home alive.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

With a blizzard gaining force, the Mayor of Nome decides the safest choice is to halt the relay, rather than risk losing lives and the serum itself. But the storm makes it hard to spread the news of the Mayor's order.

The diphtheria outbreak in Nome is spreading fast as a relay of dogsled teams races across Alaska, carrying the only available medicine. Leonard Seppala knows that if he and his lead dog Togo take a shortcut across the frozen Norton Sound, they can shave off precious time and make it to Nome faster. But Seppala also knows he risks getting blown out to sea or falling through a crack in the ice, losing his team and the precious medicine he's carrying.

It's the winter of 1925 and in the remote town of Nome, Alaska, children are dying from a diphtheria outbreak that's spreading fast. But in the dead of winter, the town is nearly impossible to reach and its supply of medicine is dwindling. The only option is to send the medicine by dogsled, in a relay led by one of Alaska's best mushers, Leonhard Seppala. The teams will have to cross nearly 700 snow-covered miles at breakneck speed, but an epic blizzard is on its way.

The SpaceX rocket carries lunar landers from companies based in Texas and Japan. They could arrive at the moon in the coming months. HPV can cause a variety of cancers, including cervical. New mortality data for women under 25 point to the success of the HPV vaccine.Rocket Launches With Lunar Landers From 2 Private CompaniesOn Wednesday, a SpaceX rocket launched carrying payloads from two separate private companies hoping to achieve lunar landings. The pair of landers—one from Japanese company ispace, and one from Texas-based Firefly Aerospace—will take months to reach the moon. Firefly's lander is scheduled to arrive first, in March, with ispace's lander planned for a touchdown in late May or early June.Another SpaceX launch on Thursday, a test flight of the company's Starship system, had mixed results. The booster returned to earth and was successfully “caught,” but the spacecraft exploded over the Caribbean shortly after launch. That explosion is under investigation.Jason Dinh, climate editor at Atmos in Washington, D.C., joins Ira to talk about the Wednesday launch and plans for private lunar exploration. They also discuss other stories from the week in science, including the ban of Red Dye #3 an AI approach to snake antivenom, and a study predicting a rise in US dementia cases by 2060.As Cervical Cancer Deaths Plummet, Experts Credit HPV VaccineIn 2006, a vaccine for the human papillomavirus (HPV) became widely available to adolescents. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, and it can cause cancers of the mouth, throat, and sexual organs. It's also the cause of nearly every case of cervical cancer.Now, almost 20 years after the HPV vaccine was introduced, a study published in JAMA noted a 62% drop in deaths due to cervical cancer in women under 25 in the US: from 50 or 60 deaths per year to 13. This follows earlier research that noted a decrease in cervical precancer and cancer since the introduction of the vaccine.With HPV vaccine uptake at about 60% for adolescents aged 13-15, a higher uptake could virtually eliminate cervical cancer, experts say. However, childhood vaccination rates have dwindled since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, sparking concerns about the spread of preventable disease.Joining Flora Lichtman to talk about this latest study is lead author Dr. Ashish Deshmukh, professor of public health sciences and co-leader of the Cancer Prevention and Control Program at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
