Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 43-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,961 on turnover of $5.1-billion N-T. The market fell more than 350 points on Thursday as market sentiment was spooked by the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and a hint by the U-S Federal Reserve that it's in no hurry to cut interest rates. Sell-offs were seen across the board, led by the bellwether electronics sector, with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing in focus, which pushed the main board below the 240-day moving average of around 22,280-points by the end of the session. Philippines grants Taiwan visa-free entry starting July Taiwan passport holders will be able to travel to the Philippines visa-free entry starting in July. The announcement was made by the Manila Economic and Cultural Office. According to the office, starting July 1, Taiwan passport holders can enter the Philippines "for tourism purposes without a visa for a non-extendible (不得延長的) and non-convertible period of 14 days." However, the office is stressing that Taiwan passport holders planning to visit the Philippines for more than two weeks or other purposes still need to apply for a visa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says it welcomes the decision. The announcement comes after Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung said on June 13 that Taiwan will be extending its visa-waiver program for Philippine passport holders for another year starting August 1. Trump to Decide on Iran Action in 2 Weeks US President Donald Trump says he will decide on whether to take military action in Iran within the next two weeks. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters the US president believes there is a "substantial (可觀的) chance of negotiations with Iran in the near future. Kate Fisher reports from Washington Canada Bank Rockslide Rescue crews, police and paramedics scrambled to a remote Canadian Rocky Mountain region of Banff National Park amid reports that a group of hikers were hit by a rock slide. Royal Canadian Mounted Police say the initial (最初的) report indicated there were multiple hikers and there may be serious injuries and or fatalities. The site is north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway, about 200 kilometers northwest of Calgary. Nigeria Artifacts Returned by Netherlands The Netherlands has returned 119 artifacts looted from Nigeria, including human and animal figures, plaques, royal regalia and a bell. The artifacts, known as the Benin Bronzes and mostly housed in a museum in the city of Leiden, were looted in the late 19th century by British soldiers. In recent years, museums across Europe and North America have moved to address ownership disputes over artifacts looted during the colonial era. Nigeria formally requested the return of hundreds of objects from museums around the world in 2022. The Benin Bronzes were stolen in 1897 when British forces sacked (洗劫，劫掠) the Benin kingdom and forced the monarch at the time, into a six-month exile. That was the I.C.R.T.

In 1990, the peace and tranquility found in Banff National Park was shattered by the first murder there in twenty years and there was a lot of pressure on police to solve the case. There were no witnesses to the homicide and only one key piece of evidence that could positively identify the killer: DNA. It would become a transformative technology as the then-emerging science helped investigators as they worked to solve a true whodunnit.

Kevin Van Tighem was portrayed by his political opponents as an "enemy" of Alberta when he ran to become an MLA in 2023. Now-Minister Jason Nixon pulled quotes from his book "Wild Roses Are Worth It: Reimagining the Alberta Advantage," and accused him of portraying Albertans as angry rednecks and resource exploiters.

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, the first installment of two focusing on ways to enhance the safety of animals, and human drivers, with wildlife crossings. In Part I this week, a conversation with Tim Johnson, a landscape connectivity specialist with the Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) Conservation Initiative.Going back some three decades, Canadian transportation and wildlife officials have collaborated on ways to build safe crossings to protect both animals and humans in Alberta. A system of 38 underpasses and six overpasses and fencing on 82 km of the Trans-Canada Highway in Banff National Park are also part of the longest ongoing wildlife crossing research and monitoring program in the world.Johnson explains how the crossings work, how different animals use them and, especially, why these are just as beneficial to humans as the animals.The hope is that Michigan officials can learn from the success from western officials as state officials pursue a federal grant for crossings here. Michigan State Police say more than 58,000 deer-related crashes occurred in the state in 2022. That's a 13 percent increase from 2021, a decade high. Repairs from those crashes could be just as high.In Wyoming, a $24.3 million federal grant awarded in 2023 was the largest made from the U.S. Department of Transportation's first tranche of $109 million for a novel Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program. Wyoming will use the money to fund the bulk of the $37 million construction project that will involve fencing 30 miles of the highway, building six or so new underpasses and a wildlife bridge for skittish antelope that won't go through a tunnel.Podcast photo courtesy of Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative. 

Adventures have risks. It doesn't matter how much you plan, or how well you manage situations, if you are having an adventure, something can go wrong. It is impossible to make adventures 100% safe. If they really are safe, then there isn't any risk which means they aren't going to be adventures!For this reason, planning for mishaps, emergencies and surprises is another essential step when it comes to delivering adventure.In this episode, we share a story from ACMG Alpine Guide and professional athlete Will Gadd to highlight the importance of planning for mishap. Will's story takes place on the Fuhrmann Ledges in Banff National Park and is an excellent example of the value of planning for mishaps, even when you think there is a low risk of something going wrong.Will Gadd has a long list of accomplishments including first ice climbing ascents of Niagara Falls and on Mt. Kilamjaro, winning three gold medals at the X Games, and setting the paragliding world distance record twice.Key TakeawaysHere are a few things that Will did very well:Communicating the Risks: This includes Will communicating what could happen to his clients and himself. In this instance it's a given that Will would have had his clients sign a waiver and would have talked to them beforehand about the risks they could face.Discussing the Plan in the Event of a Crisis: This put the idea in their heads that rock fall could happen. More importantly it helped to prepare them for the moment when it actually did happen.If you fail to plan you plan to fail.Being Situationally Aware: Even though Will felt that there wasn't a high probability of rockfall, he still went through the process of preparing everyone, looking for signs that rockfall had occurred recently, and encouraging his clients to do the same.Five Hazardous Attitudes: At least one of the Five Hazardous Attitudes that is always present in human caused accidents. They are Anti-Authority, Impulsivity, Invulnerability, Macho and Resignation.Guest BioWill Gadd is a professional sponsored athlete and ACMG Alpine Guide. Among many of Will's feats are first accents ice climbing Niagara Falls, Helmcken Falls, Icebergs and many other ice climbs around the world including on the top of Mt Kilimanjaro. Will is also a world-class white-water kayaker and paraglider. He has twice set the world record for the longest paragliding flight.As an elite athlete and professional guide, Will is extremely experienced when it comes to evaluating risk and making decisions that could have serious consequences for himself and the people he is leading or working with. This makes Will one of the perfect people to talk about the power of judgment.Guest LinksContact Will to be your Guide, Instructor or Speaker: https://willgadd.com/Instagram: @realwillgaddThe Last Ascent, Kilimanjaro: https://www.redbull.com/ca-en/films/the-last-ascent-will-gadds-return-to-kilimanjaroA Fun Ted Talk: Three Simple Tools to Manage Risk, Fear and Children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTdFkPTTnsAFollow or SubscribeDon't forget to follow the show!Share & Social Linkshttps://linktr.ee/deliveringadventurehttps://deliveringadventure.com/

www.atravelpath.com https://delicioats.com/discount/PATH Use Code PATH   Banff National Park Travel Guide Welcome back to Travel Tips! We joined Dedra and Garron to talk about one of the gems of their home country: Banff National Park in Canada. Nestled in the heart of Alberta, Canada, lies a natural wonderland waiting to be explored – Banff. Having grown up not far from this pristine here, they had the privilege of visiting Banff numerous times, each visit revealing new adventures and hidden treasures. With insider knowledge and tips garnered over the years, they are here to guide you through an unforgettable Banff experience. Outdoor Adventures Galore Banff isn't just a destination; it's an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Whether you're into hiking, camping, snowboarding, skiing, backpacking, or simply exploring with your furry friends (yes, Banff is dog-friendly!), there's something here for everyone. Duration of Stay While a weekend getaway is feasible for locals, they recommend dedicating at least two weeks to truly immerse yourself in all that Banff has to offer. If time permits, extend your stay to three weeks to explore the surrounding area. The Enchantment of Blue Waters Banff boasts stunning azure waters that captivate visitors from around the globe. While Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are iconic spots, they can get crowded. For a more serene experience, head to lesser-known gems like Saskatchewan Crossing in the northern part of the park, where you'll find equally mesmerizing blue waters minus the crowds. Best Time to Visit Timing is key when planning your Banff adventure. Summer, particularly July through August, offers ideal weather for outdoor activities. However, be prepared for potential snow in June and forest fires in August. For winter sports enthusiasts, the period between December and February promises snowy escapades. Getting There and Around Calgary serves as the gateway to Banff, with a scenic drive of about 1 hour and 40 minutes. While Banff town is easily navigable on foot, renting a car is advisable for exploring attractions further afield. Shuttle services are also available for those who prefer not to drive. Currency Exchange and Budgeting Ensure you exchange your currency for Canadian dollars (Loonies and Toonies) before arriving, as foreign denominations are not accepted. Budget around $100-150 per day for a comfortable experience, but savvy travelers can save by cooking meals at campsites and stocking up on supplies in Calgary to avoid inflated prices in Banff. Accommodation Options Finding free lodging in Banff can be challenging, but the national parks offer a plethora of campgrounds for outdoor enthusiasts. Tunnel Mountain Campground is a prime choice for its proximity to town, while the Canmore area boasts more budget-friendly options. Embracing Banff's Nightlife Banff has a small nightlife with bars, great dining, and clubs. That said, many visitors opt for quiet evenings by the campfire, soaking in the starlit sky and relishing the tranquility of nature Chasing Sunrises and Sunsets For unparalleled views, ascend Sulphur Mountain via the Banff Gondola or embark on a mountain hike to witness breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Each vantage point offers a unique perspective of Banff's majestic landscape, so don't miss the opportunity to capture these magical moments. Money-Saving Strategies Maximize your Banff experience without breaking the bank by prioritizing free activities like hiking and stargazing. Limit dining out to a few special occasions, opting instead for budget-friendly meals around the campfire. Stock up on groceries and fuel in Calgary to avoid inflated prices in Banff.

We started our honeymoon out at Lake Louise. When thinking about places to go for a honeymoon we of course wanted something a little out of the norm and a place that neither of us had even been to before. We travel all day and finally arrives at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. If you are traveling to Lake Louise then this hotel is a must stay. The lake was frozen while we were there but it was still so stunning. We enjoyed skiing, dog sledding, a sleigh ride, lots of good food, and time to relax around the hotel.

Glaciers are retreating rapidly in Canada's Rockies, bringing hazards to long-standing alpine routes. We visit Banff National Park to meet guides who are adapting to climate change in different ways. Then – we head to India, where for weeks farmers from the northern part of the country have been protesting in the streets, demanding changes that could help them fare better in a warming world. Next – like many new university students, our youth climate action columnist Aishwarya Puttur is learning to cook for herself. It has her reflecting on her family's own history of farming in India, and on the links between food, farming and sustainability.
