Most people imagine volcanoes as scary gigantic mountains covered with blazing-hot magma and erupting ash. But in fact, more than 80 percent volcanoes on our planet are situated on the seabed, and there creatures that live on their bottoms. Are you ready to meet these scary real-life monsters? If you have a look at the underwater volcano situated about two miles below the surface, the conditions there will terrify you, if not kill you. The pressure of water is enormous, the water itself contains many heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide - poisonous, flammable, and corrosive gas, and other toxic substances. Despite these hostile surroundings, more than 400 species live around the volcanoes. In the Arctic Ocean, far away from any traces of civilization, in ice-cold dark waters, there are five active volcanoes. But unlike typical volcanoes, these formations spew out methane gas and warm mud. They are mud volcanoes. In 2013, a multinational group of scientists decided to research the mud volcanoes in the Beaufort Sea using the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Soon the first results were ready: the mud volcanoes turned out to be real giants, 650 to 1200 yards across and as high as 100 ft. The slopes and the tops of the mud volcanoes are covered with colonies of tube worms. They grow slowly, and it may take them from 170 to 250 years to reach such length. Tube worms are exceptionally long-lived. Today, scientists are more worried about the Yellowstone Supervolcano. The formation got its name due to its power to produce unbelievably violent eruptions. The crater of this volcano is 34 by 45 miles in size. And the destructive force of the volcano is so huge that according to scientists' calculations, 90,000 people would die instantly as soon as the volcano erupted. Scientists have many equipment set all over the National Park and they assure people that were the volcano to erupt, they would be able to predict this weeks in advance and evacuate those in immediate danger.

Scientist Virginia Brake on discovering ice beneath the Beaufort Sea + The head of the School of Ocean Technology on research happening at The Launch in Holyrood.

Last week, the U.S. Congress grilled several top university professors about antisemitism on their campuses—and the scrutiny on these institutions has never been more intense. The hearings were, in some ways, the culmination of years of backlash against so-called "elitist" institutions, attacks and assumptions by right-wing critics who have long complained that universities coddle their student bodies, over-emphasize safe spaces and no longer teach young people to think critically—let alone welcome dissenting opinions. These subjects are familiar territory to Jeffrey Sachs, who teaches about politics, authoritarianism and the Middle East at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Sachs has analyzed the data on campus free speech and written extensively about how there is not, in fact, a "free speech crisis" in universities. He gives us insight into that world, recaps the high-profile Congress hearings and discusses the role of religion in places of worship.

No online banking, no Amazon orders, no internet classes. A broken fiber optic cable buried far below the Beaufort Sea ice, north of Oliktok Point has brought internet service for a wide swath of Arctic communities to dial up speed or a complete halt. Repairs are still weeks away. How are schools, local governments and businesses coping with the lack of reliable online commerce? How much redundancy is there in the system now and will federal funds make it more robust and reliable? We discuss the need for modern communication connections in the far north, on this Talk of Alaska

We are proud to host a special series of podcasts highlighting the ICC Inuit Artist of the Month. On the first Thursday of every month in 2023 we'll hear from one of the 12 artists. Thanks to funding by the Department of Canadian Heritage – Indigenous Language Component, each artist is provided a bursary to further their art.In this episode, host Madeleine Allakariallak speaks with Priscilla Boulay, who is originally from Tuktoyaktuk in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.She is a third generation carver – working with soapstone, walrus ivory, muskox horn, caribou antler, and baleen. She makes traditional Inuit carvings, and jewelry.Her unique style of carving stems from her views and experiences of traditional Inuvialuit life, growing up on the coast of the Arctic ocean on the Beaufort Sea.ᐃᓄᐃᑦᐅᑭᐅᖅᑕᖅᑐᒥᐅᖃᑎᒌᑦᑲᑎᒪᔨᖏᒃᑯᑦᐃᓄᐃᑦᓴᓇᙳᐊᖅᑎᖏᑦᑕᖅᑭᖃᖅᑎᑕᐅᓂᖓᑦᐹᑦᑳᔅᑦᒧᑦᑕᕐᕆᔮᔅᓴᑦ − ᐳᕆᓯᓚᐴᓚᐃᐅᐱᒍᓱᑦᓱᑕ ᐱᒋᐊᖅᑎᑦᓯᕗᒍᑦ ᐊᔾᔨᐅᖏᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᑕᑯᑦᓴᐅᒋᐅᖅᑐᓂᒃ ᐹᑦᑳᔅᑯᑦ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᐅᑭᐅᖅᑕᖅᑐᒥᐅᖃᑎᒌᑦ ᑲᑎᒪᔨᖏᒃᑯᑦ ᐃᓄᖕᓂᑦ ᐱᙳᐊᖅᑎᓂᒃ ᑕᖅᑭᖃᖅᑎᑦᓯᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ. ᓯᑕᒥᖓᓂ ᐱᒋᐊᕐᓗᓂ ᑕᖅᑭᐅᑉ ᑕᖅᑭᑕᒫᑦ  2023−ᒥ ᑐᓴᕈᒫᖅᐳᒍᑦ ᓵᓚᓕᒻᒥᒃ ᖁᓕᓪᓗ ᒪᕐᕉᓗ ᓵᓚᖃᐅᓯᐊᖅᑐᓂ. ᖁᔭᓕᕗᒍᑦ ᑮᓇᐅᔭᖃᖅᑎᑕᐅᒍᑎᑦᑎᓐᓂᒃ ᑲᓇᑕᒥ ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᓐᓂᒃ−ᓄᓇᖃᖅᑳᖅᓯᒪᔪᓄᑦ ᐅᖃᐅᓯᕐᖓᔪᑦ, ᐊᑐᓂᒃ ᐱᙳᐊᖅᑎ ᑮᓇᐅᔭᖅᑖᖅᑎᑕᑦ ᐱᙳᐊᕐᓂᕐᒥᓂᒃ ᐱᕚᓪᓕᑲᓐᓂᖁᓪᓗᒍ ᖁᕕᐊᒋᔭᒥᓂ.ᑕᕝᕙᓂ ᐅᓂᒃᑳᕐᒥ, ᑐᙵᓱᒃᑎᑦᑎᔨ ᒫᑕᓕᓐ ᐊᓚᖅᑲᕆᐊᓪᓚᒃ ᐅᖃᖃᑎᖃᖅᑐᖅ ᐳᕆᓯᓚ ᐴᓚᐃᒥᒃ, ᑐᒃᑑᔮᖅᑐᕐᒥᐅᑕᒃᓴᔭᐅᔪᖅ ᐃᓄᕕᐊᓗᐃᑦ ᓄᓇᖓᓂ.ᐱᖓᔪᒋᔭᐅᓪᓗᓂ ᑭᖑᕚᕇᓄᑦ ᓴᓇᙳᐊᖅᑎᐅᔪᖅ − ᐅᒃᑯᓯᔅᓴᒥᑦ ᓴᓇᙳᐊᖅᑐᓂ, ᐊᐃᕕᐅᑉ ᑑᒑᒥᓂᖓᓂᒃ, ᐅᒥᒻᒪᐅᑉ ᓇᒡᔪᒥᓂᖓᓂᒃ, ᑐᒃᑐᒧᑦ ᓇᒡᔪᒥᓂᕐᓂᒃ, ᐊᒻᒪ ᓱᖅᑲᕐᒥᒃ. ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᓴᓇᙳᐊᕈᓯᑐᖃᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᓴᓇᖃᑦᑕᖅᑐᖅ, ᐊᒻᒪ ᑕᑯᒥᓇᖅᓴᐅᑎᓂᒃ ᓴᓇᕙᑦᑐᓂ.ᐊᔾᔨᐅᖏᑦᑐᖅ ᓴᓇᙳᐊᕈᓯᖓ ᐃᓱᒪᒋᔭᖓᒍᑦ ᐊᒻᒪ ᐊᑐᖅᓯᒪᔭᖏᓐᓂᑦ ᐃᓄᐃᑦ ᐃᓅᓯᑐᖃᖏᓐᓂᑦ, ᐱᕈᖅᓴᓪᓗᓂ ᐅᑭᐅᖅᑕᖅᑑᑉ ᐃᒪᕕᖓᓂ ᐅᐊᓕᓂᐅᑉ ᑕᕆᐅᖓᓂ. Inuit Ukiuqtaqtumiuqatigiit Katimajingikkut Inuit Sanannguaqtingit Taqqiqaqtitauningat Paatkaastmut Tarrijaassat − Purisila PuulaiUpigusutsuta pigiaqtitsivugut ajjiungittunik takutsaugiuqtunik Paatkaaskut Inuit Ukiuqtaqtumiuqatigiit Katimajingikkut Inungnit Pinnguaqtinik Taqqiqaqtitsitillugit.

Two UFO's have been shot down over Alaska and Canada according to government officials. The first shoot down happened over northeastern Alaska along the coast of the Beaufort Sea. Pilots reportedly described this object as the size of a small car, cylindrically shaped, with no means of propulsion and inexplicably hovering at 40,000 feet. The second UFO was shot over Canadian Yukon. This object was described by the Canadian government as also being the size of a small car and cylindrically shaped with no visible means of propulsion. So we are left to ask have the first shots of a coming intergalactic war just been fired or this this biggest head-fake of all time from the Deep-State?

Today I have with me the author of the Jorja Knight Mystery series, her debut novel KNIGHT BLIND was an Arthur Ellis award finalist for best unpublished first crime novel in 2016. Her short stories have also been published in various anthologies. She's a member of Crime Writers of Canada, Sisters in Crime, and the Writers Guild of Alberta. It's my pleasure to introduce Alice Bienia. Sorry. I'm probably saying that wrong. Alice: Yeah, no, that was perfect. Debbi: Oh, great. Oh, my goodness. Thank you very much. It helps that I'm married to an Italian man, whose name is pronounced Ike-Angelo and-- Alice: Oh yeah. Debbi: Not the way it looks, even though it should be. In Italy, it would be. Maybe that helps. Anyway, thank you so much for being here today. You have a very interesting background, geology. What kind of work did you do before you wrote novels full time? Alice: Yeah, I was a geologist and I started off my career as a mineral geologist. And so what that involved was going out in the field usually remote areas that hadn't been really explored before. And my job was to basically map the area, try to figure out what lay in the subsurface. And we were looking for various mineral deposits copper, lead, zinc, uranium—later, coal, and yeah, from there, I migrated into the energy sector and ended up my career after about 30 years working as a consultant to the energy industry. So a lot of work in the Bush, lot of work, living in tents and yeah, and having some great experiences up in Northern Canada. Debbi: Wow. What parts of Northern Canada? Alice: Yeah, so I worked in Northern BC, Northern Alberta, British Columbia. I worked in the Arctic I worked offshore in the Beaufort Sea and also in Eastern Canada offshore on some drilling activity offshore in Eastern Canada as well. So yeah, most of my career took me to these wonderful, beautiful places in Canada that are hardly ever seen by anyone, and yeah. Filled with all kinds of interesting animals, environment. Debbi: Fantastic. Alice: Yeah. So yeah, it was great. Debbi: Did you get involved at all in sustainability-type work? Alice: Well, back in the day, a lot of people might not know this, but most of the companies had environmental departments an...

When you travel the globe, it opens you mind and heart and gives you a new understanding of people and cultures.  When you explore cultures and traditions you expand your imagination.  You may even start a new tradition of your own.  It also has you dreaming of all the places you may want to go to, and you know something…. We are going to swing that door wide open for you to peak through it……because there is one thing no one can take away from you…your Dreams and we want you to Dream and Dream Big.  that's what I do …I help make your travel dreams come true.So many of us say I have 10 days' vacation, so I am going to cram as many places in…in that short time.  If you try to get 6 countries and 12 cities in that short amount of time…yes, you see it…but do you really.  Some of the best things happen when you slow down and enjoy the place you are in.  The food the people the location itself.  I will give you an example.  My husband and I went on a cruise around the British Isle.  We went to England/Southern Ireland/Wales/Northern Ireland and Scotland.  We visited several cities in each area.  However, when we got to Wales, we said. Let's just walk around soak up the local atmosphere maybe stop in to a pub and grab a pint.  It was one of our best memories.  Because when we stopped in at the pub…the locals heard there were Americans in there…they came in and grabbed a pint and we were all chatting and exchanging stories.  Hurtigruten has 144 expedition cruises. I won't be able to talk about all 144 but I will be able to give you a nice taste of what you can see and do. Few voyages capture the imagination quite like the Northwest Passage. Spanning almost 1,700 nautical miles from Canada's Baffin Island in the east, to Alaska's Beaufort Sea in the west, traversing this isolated and wild sea route is an adventure like no other. It's only possible to sail the Northwest Passage during the brief summer of just a few weeks when the ice conditions become more favorable.

Massive sink holes are appearing on the seabed of the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic with  melting permafrost to blame. Is this a sign of accelerated climate change? New research from 2 American universities suggests that the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, which was instituted to tax hunters for unregulated hunting, is the reason why conservation claims by trophy hunters are so exaggerated. More evidence suggests that South Africa's recent trophy hunting quotas offers little economic value. But again, are this divisive conversations not distracting us from the urgent work we actually need to be looking at for real and sustainable transformational value on the African continent? United for Wildlife, from Prince William's Royal Foundation, recently hosted a conference in Botswana, exploring the role financial and transport industries can play in curbing the illegal wildlife trade. Simon shares his experience. Thank you to our friends at Zambesia and MackAir for their very kind hospitality! And poaching in India evolves as Anthrax poisoning is identified in the killing of two elephant in that country.

We've got everything in this episode. We've got clones. We've got a bounty hunter. We do not however have a bounty hunter who is also a clone so you'll have to go to another show for that. Produced by Kristen Riley and Daive Reed Follow on Twitter @CastFiles Email us at TheeCastFiles@gmail.com https://www.teepublic.com/user/the-cast-files Music by Hal Six  Logo by @OokaArt ---- The USS Allegiance, an American nuclear submarine, is on a cartography mission in the Beaufort Sea off the coast of Alaska when it comes across a craft below the ice that is emitting a bizarre radio signal. The Allegiance is ordered to fire upon the craft by Pacific Command. However, the craft manages to disable the sub using a high-pitched frequency, stranding it 1,000-feet below the 32-foot thick ice. Continuing from the cliffhanger ending of "Colony", Scully is beaten and kidnapped by "Mulder", who is really the Alien Bounty Hunter in disguise.  Oh good, back to the regular nuts and bolts of abusing the lead lady.  PRODUCTION: The grunt that Scully utters after being thrown through the table was insisted on by Standards and Practices, to make clear to viewers that she was still alive. Frank Spotnitz thought of this as "arcane, bizarre logic that you have to deal with when you're putting a show on network television." When the real Mulder finds the wrecked hotel room, his sister Samantha explains that the Bounty Hunter will set up a hostage exchange to swap Scully for her.  Samantha further explains that the Bounty Hunter can only be killed by piercing the base of his neck and that his toxic alien blood is deadly to humans.  Finally, Samantha reveals that the Gregors are the progeny of two original aliens, and worked at abortion clinics to gain access to fetal tissue.  Ooo ok. So shouldn't they have worked in research?

Climate change is having a significant effect on Arctic communities. The loss of permafrost and ice sheets, sea level rise, erosion, and many other factors are putting people living in coastal communities and their traditional way of life at risk. In this episode, we’re talking with Jeff King, Deputy Lead of the Engineering With Nature program at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Sam Whitin, Coastal Resilience Director at EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc. PBC; and Enda Murphy, Senior Research Engineer at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). We’re discussing the unique challenges and opportunities involved in identifying and designing resilience strategies to help remote northern communities in Alaska and Canada whose future and way of life is imminently threatened by climate change. And we’re reflecting on how Engineering With Nature approaches could be used to address critical challenges faced by remote northern communities.   The Arctic region is warming at a much higher rate than other parts of the continent. Retreating sea ice, shorter ice season duration, and thawing permafrost are contributing to the destabilization of coastlines. And, as Enda points out, “a lot of these remote northern communities are really reliant on fishing and hunting and the land for subsistence and their livelihoods. That creates an even greater imperative to understand and adapt to the changing climate.” Sam adds that communities in Alaska are also experiencing significant issues related to erosion and flooding, along with impacts to migratory patterns of fish, wildlife and whales: “Given the close connection that these communities have related to subsistence hunting and fishing, climate change is magnified in even more ways than most people typically consider.”   Jeff, Sam, and Enda came together around their common interest of better understanding these impacts and responding to them by applying Engineering With Nature principles and processes. Jeff, through separate conversations with Sam and Enda, “saw a unique opportunity to engage and collaborate and bring more expertise into a region where it's desperately needed.”   One upcoming EWN research project will focus on the whaling community of Point Hope, Alaska, whose traditional way of life is currently being challenged by the accelerating impacts of climate change. Sam talks about the example of ice cellars that have been used in Point Hope for thousands of years to store foodstuffs – fish, wildlife, and whale – throughout the year. The cellars are buried about 20 feet into the permafrost, which is melting due to higher average temperatures. Without those cellars to provide essential refrigeration and fermentation, the community has to harvest extra fish and wildlife throughout the year because there are no roads leading to the city, so outside supplies come in only by plane or once or twice during the summer by barge. This places additional pressure on the fish and wildlife populations and is an example of a problem that could benefit from an EWN approach, drawing on research and expertise from the Army Corps’ Cold Regions Research Engineering Laboratory (CRREL).   Similarly, Enda and the NRC have been working in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, an Inuvialuit community very close to sea level on the Beaufort Sea. As Enda relates, “We heard from elders that this particular community has had to relocate three residences just in the past year because of the rapidly eroding coast. So that's a really urgent need.” Enda and his colleagues at the NRC are reimagining what future research in the Arctic might look like and broadening their networks and collaborations, to do research, including with the U.S. Army Corps. A particular area of interest is in understanding the role of sea ice in attenuating or dissipating storm surge. Computer modeling has shown that without sea ice, storm surges may be three times higher, which is a significant problem for communities like Tuktoyaktuk.   A key challenge for researchers is that there is little existing baseline data to establish trends. So, engaging the people of these remote communities and gathering local knowledge is critical. Sam, Enda and their teams are sitting down with elders, hunters, and fishers to understand what they’ve seen and experienced. As Sam adds, “One of the most important things is to make sure that we respond appropriately to what the community truly wants, that we're not coming in and presenting a problem that doesn't need to be fixed or presenting our thoughts on how something should be handled. We are listening to and learning from the community.”   Jeff shares his excitement about the opportunities for incorporating EWN approaches into projects in the far north, paired with the importance of collaborating and sharing information between CRREL and the parallel work being done by Sam and Enda: “Thinking about Engineering With Nature and the natural infrastructure strategies that are appropriate for an environment like this is something very new. I think EWN can make an important contribution – and we will learn a lot in the process.”     Related Links: EWN Website ERDC Website Jeff King at LinkedIn Jeff King at EWN Enda Murphy at LinkedIn Sam Whitin at LinkedIn   Presentation to an NNBF Symposium by Enda on Flood Risk Reduction  NRC’s Ocean Program - Coastal Resilience NRC’s Arctic Program - Increasing the quality of life for Northerners through research NRC’s Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre   EA Engineering, Science, and Technology  YouTube video of Sam describing some of his NNBF/EWN work EA’s coastal resilience priority Presentation to SAME Seattle by Sam on Thin Layer Placement   Coastal Zone Canada Community of Practice: Cold Regions Living Shorelines Coastal Zone Canada Conference in June 2021 Sub Themes and Topics of the Coastal Zone Canada Conference

In this week's episode, Dr. Ashley Scarlett talks to Dr. Jean-Pierre Deforges about the accumulation of ocean pollution and the health effects they have on marine mammals. About Dr. Jean-Pierre Deforges: Jean-Pierre Desforges, Post-Doctorial Research Fellow at McGill University in Montreal Canada.

In this episode of the podcast, I have continued talking about the Arctic. This episode is a little longer than the previous episodes. I have talked on the following topics:France's Importance in the ArcticBackgroundKey issues and challenges ahead in the ArcticPrioritiesInternational Polar Years France's main scientific interests in the arctic.PermafrostEconomic opportunitiesProtecting the arctic marine environments The European Union and the arcticArctic Facts“France will do everything that it can, here in the Far North of the planet, to take action, mobilize its researchers and its businesses, to enable us to preserve this part of the world, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful.”“France will never think that the Arctic Ocean can be treated like any other ocean in terms of the level of environmental precautions. We are calling for the implementation of special, more stringent environmental safety standards in the Arctic where French operators are present.”Additional InfoSize of the Arctic: mainland and sea area located inside the Arctic Circle (66.33° north latitude): 20.946 million km²(approx. 38 times larger than metropolitan FranceSize of the Arctic Ocean: 14.2 million km²Canada and Eurasian Basins, Siberian Seas (Kara, Laptev, and East Siberian seas), the Chukchi Sea, Beaufort Sea, Barents Sea, Greenland Sea, Baffin Bay, and Hudson Bay. Maximum depth of the Arctic Ocean: > 5,400 metres (Litke Deep)(approx. 60% of the area of the Arctic Ocean is less than 200 metres deep).Minimum extent of summer sea ice (11 September 2015): 4.4 million km²(4th lowest extent of sea ice in the satellite record)Maximum extent of winter sea ice (March 2015: 14.4 million km²(Sea ice extent in March 2015 was the lowest in the satellite record)Extent of permafrost (frozen ground): Approximately 24% of the land mass in the northern hemisphere and a large, poorly mapped, part of the ocean floor on the continental shelves of the Arctic seas.Follow me on Twitter for daily climate change news: https://twitter.com/realyashnegiSuggestions are always welcome: yashnegi4920@outlook.comSupport the show (https://paypal.me/yashnegi27?locale.x=en_GB)

Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories is a community high in the Canadian Arctic, situated on the shores of the Beaufort Sea. Five young Indigenous filmmakers wanted to do something to show their concern with how climate change is affecting the world around them. They directed and filmed a documentary called, "Happening to Us." The film has garnered international attention and the youth have been invited to present it at a United Nations convention in Chile this December 2019. This episode of Arctic Canada-The Culture Cure features an interview with one of these youth, Eriel Lugt, and examines climate change through the eyes of Indigenous youth in the Arctic.

Welcome back to another awesome episode of Nerd pop culture delivered in a friendly manner by those loose gooses, the Nerds. This week we would like to say that since China hasn’t offered us any money to sell our self-respect or virtue that we support the protestors in Hong Kong. Viva la revolution! Now if we do not have an episode in the near future you know that they took us out like Hillary Clinton helps her opposition to have fatal accidents… Just going to leave this here and see who comes after us first.Now onto the episode, first up is the Professor with a look at the Australian Video Game Archive. What is this you ask, well it is an amazingly cool idea and we hope it gets sorted out soon. Now if you love playing awesome games, love Australia, and are just a tragic nerd like our boys then you will love this. To know exactly what it is you are going to have to listen in and find out. But let us know on Facebook what game you think should go into the archive.Next up we have finally achieved printed electronics that you can wear. That’s right, wear. Are you tired of not being able to hold your torch and need an extra hand, but don’t want to wear one of those straps around your head with a light on it? We have the solution for you, tattoo light systems. Want to stand out in the crowd and really be noticed? We can help you shine a light on your darkest corners. Sounds interesting right? Well listen up as this is our second featured topic for the week.Do you wish that reality television had more things like axe throwing in it? Are you tired of shows like survivor where there is no chance of them dying? Well we have a show that is moving in the right direction, True Viking! The show with the potential to form a crew and going pillaging in a foreign monastery… um, maybe we are getting carried away here, oh well, it sounds better than the sewage from the Kardashians. This is our third topic of the week.Then we have the games played, shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and special events. We hope you enjoy the show and that we entertain you and maybe even educate you on some of the topics we discuss. Now, we need to watch out for those Chinese hack…er um, gamers with better computer systems. Take care, stay safe, look out for each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:Australian Video Game Archive - https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6408217/national-film-and-sound-archive-to-start-collecting-video-games/Printed Electronics - https://www.scienceandtechnologyresearchnews.com/printed-electronics-open-way-for-electrified-tattoos-and-personalized-biosensors/True Viking the survival series - https://deadline.com/2019/10/game-of-thrones-star-kristofer-hivju-takes-on-vikings-in-non-scripted-entertainment-co-production-1202753816/Games currently playingBuck– World of Warships - https://worldofwarships.com/Rating – 4.5/5Professor– Creeper World 3 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/280220/Creeper_World_3_Arc_Eternal/Rating – 9/10DJ– Magic the Gathering Arena - https://magic.wizards.com/en/mtgarenaRating - 3.5/5Other topics discussedThe Good Place (American fantasy comedy television series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_PlaceUntitled Goose Game available on PC, Mac & Nintendo Switch- Info - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untitled_Goose_Game- Game website - https://goose.game/Blizzard bans Hearthstone player for Hong Kong protest support- https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/08/blizzard-bans-hearthstone-player-for-hong-kong-protest/Games added into the Australian video game archive- Alien Carnage, originally released as Halloween Harry - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Carnage- The Hobbit - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit_(1982_video_game)- Hollow Knight - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_KnightAn Aspie Life (Adventure game that deals with the topic of Asperger's Syndrome)- https://store.steampowered.com/app/786410/An_Aspie_Life/Glow in the dark tattoos- https://authoritytattoo.com/glow-in-the-dark-tattoos/Tormund Giantsbane (Game of Thrones character)- https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/TormundTormund & Brienne of Tarth : A love story better than twilight- https://i.imgflip.com/14yqst.jpgThe Island with Bear Grylls (British reality television programme)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Island_with_Bear_GryllsThe Grand Tour (British motoring television series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_TourThe Colony (British reality television program)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colony_(2005_TV_series)Back in Time For… (British lifestyle television series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_in_Time_for...Creeper World 4 alpha gameplay video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuVp2eF9AaU&feature=youtu.beEvery game company Tencent invested in- https://www.pcgamer.com/au/every-game-company-that-tencent-has-invested-in/Death of Edgar Allen Poe- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Edgar_Allan_PoeAssault of Precinct 13 (2005 French-American action thriller film)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_on_Precinct_13_(2005_film)My Songs Suck (TNC Podcast)- https://thatsnotcanon.com/mysongssuckpodEverybody Wants to be a Cat (TNC Podcast)- https://thatsnotcanon.com/ewtbacpodcastFloof and Pupper Podcast (TNC Podcast)- https://thatsnotcanon.com/floofandpupperpodcastShoutouts5 Oct 2019 – Monty Python turns 50 - "Monty Python’s Flying Circus" first aired on BBC1 – going on to run for four series, spawning four original films, numerous live shows and several albums.- https://www.montypython.com/news_mp50announce/494- https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/oct/04/monty-python-at-50-a-half-century-of-silly-walks-edible-props-and-dead-parrots6 Oct 2019 – R.I.P Ginger Baker – Ginger Baker, English drummer and a co-founder of the rock band Cream with Eric Clapton in 1966. His work in the 1960s and 1970s earned him the reputation of "rock's first superstar drummer", for a style that melded jazz and African rhythms and pioneered both jazz fusion and world music. Baker's drumming is regarded for its style, showmanship, and use of two bass drums instead of the conventional one. Baker was an inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Cream, of the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2008, and of the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2016. Baker was noted for his eccentric, often self-destructive lifestyle, and he struggled with heroin addiction for many years. He was married four times and fathered three children. He died from illness on 6 October 2019 at the age of 80, at a hospital in Canterbury. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Baker7 Oct 1959 – The Soviet probe Luna 3 transmits the first-ever photographs of the far side of the Moon. To achieve this, the probe was equipped with a dual-lens 35mm camera, one a 200mm, f/5.6 aperture, the other a 500mm, f/9.5. The photo sequencing was automatically triggered when Luna 3's photocell detected the sunlit far side, which occurred when the craft was passing about 40,000 miles above the lunar surface. The radio-controlled Luna 3 was part of the Soviet Union's highly successful lunar program, which completed 20 missions to the moon between January 1959 and October 1970. - https://www.wired.com/2011/10/1007luna-3-photos-dark-side-moon/Remembrances2 Oct 2019 - John Kirby, American attorney. He was most notable for his successful defense for Nintendo against Universal City Studios over the copyrightability of the character of Donkey Kong in 1984, from which Nintendo subsequently named the character Kirby to honour him. Kirby was considered to have "saved Nintendo" during its early growth into video games into the American market. In thanks for aiding them, Nintendo gave Kirby a $30,000 sailboat christened the Donkey Kong along with "exclusive worldwide rights to use the name for sailboats." He died from myelodysplastic syndrome at the age of 79. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kirby_(attorney)7 Oct 1849 - Edgar Allan Poe, American writer, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story. He is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre and is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career. Poe and his works influenced literature around the world, as well as specialized fields such as cosmology and cryptography. He and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. Several of his homes are dedicated museums today. The Mystery Writers of America present an annual award known as the Edgar Award for distinguished work in the mystery genre. He died at the age of 40 in Baltimore, Maryland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Allan_Poe7 Oct 1939 - Harvey Cushing, American neurosurgeon,pathologist, writer and draftsman. A pioneer of brain surgery, he was the first exclusive neurosurgeon and the first person to describe Cushing's disease. He wrote a biography of William Osler in three volumes. In the beginning of the 20th century, Dr. Cushing developed many of the basic surgical techniques for operating on the brain. This established him as one of the foremost leaders and experts in the field. Under his influence neurosurgery became a new and autonomous surgical discipline. He was the world's leading teacher of neurosurgeons in the first decades of the 20th century. Arguably, Cushing's greatest contribution came with his introduction to North America of blood pressure measurement. Cushing's name is commonly associated with his most famous discovery, Cushing's disease. In 1912 he reported in a study an endocrinological syndrome caused by a malfunction of the pituitary gland which he termed "polyglandular syndrome." He published his findings in 1932 as "The Basophil Adenomas of the Pituitary Body and Their Clinical Manifestations: pituitary Basophilism". Cushing developed many surgical instruments that are in use today, most notably Cushing forceps and the Cushing ventricular cannula. Cushing was also a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, nominated at least 38 times. He died from a heart attack at the age of 70 in New Haven, Connecticut - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_CushingFamous Birthdays7 Oct 1943 - Austin Stoker, Trinidadian-American actor known for his role as Lt. Ethan Bishop, the police officer in charge of the besieged Precinct 9, Division 13, in John Carpenter's Howard Hawks-inspired, 1976 film, Assault on Precinct 13. This was one of the few heroic starring roles for a black actor in an action film of the 1970s outside of the blaxploitation genre. Prior to his role as Lt. Bishop, Stoker appeared in several blaxploitation films, often playing police detectives. Among these films were Abby, Combat Cops, and Sheba, Baby, in which he played Pam Grier's love interest. Some of Stoker's other notable acting roles were in Battle for the Planet of the Apes, Horror High, Airport 1975, Victory at Entebbe, and the 1977 television mini-seriesRoots. Stoker is known to Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans for his role as Dr. Ken Melrose in the 1982 B-movie,Time Walker, in which he appeared with Darwin Joston, his co-star from Assault on Precinct 13. He was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Stoker7 Oct 1947 - Lightning Bear, Native American stuntman, stunt coordinator and special effects artist. He performed stunts on Star Trek: The Original Series, as well as Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. He did not receive on-screen credit for his work. Lightning Bear did stunt work on several other television programs, including The Green Hornet, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Bonanza. He is perhaps most noted for his stunt work on the three original Star Wars films (A New Hope, 1977; The Empire Strikes Back, 1980; Return of the Jedi, 1983). Among the many other feature film productions, he worked on were Planet of the Apes (1968), Tora! Tora! Tora!, Diamonds Are Forever, The Poseidon Adventure, Saturday Night Fever, Ragtime, Conan the Barbarian, and Rocky IV. Lightning Bear says he has been very lucky in his life as the industry is and always has been his first love. He likes the way it is always changing with new methods and technology, never having the same circumstance or conditions and the ability to travel and see different countries, cultures, people and locations. He was born in Houston, Texas- https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Bear- https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0510019/7 Oct 1885 - Niels Henrik David Bohr, Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research. Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another. Although the Bohr model has been supplanted by other models, its underlying principles remain valid. He conceived the principle of complementarity: that items could be separately analysed in terms of contradictory properties, like behaving as a wave or a stream of particles. The notion of complementarity dominated Bohr's thinking in both science and philosophy. He predicted the existence of a new zirconium-like element, which was named hafnium, after the Latin name for Copenhagen, where it was discovered. Later, the element bohrium was named after him.

His publisher wanted him to write another book, but he decided he would try for a national book market instead. In November of that year he had an idea when going to be "about a bunch of teenagers living inside an unsolvable Maze full of hideous creatures, in the future, in a dark, dystopian world. It would be an experiment, to study their minds. Terrible things would be done to them – awful things; completely hopeless – until the victims turn everything on its head." Dashner wrote the book from December 2005 to March 2006. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maze_Runner7 Oct 1856 - Cyrus Chambers Jr patents folding machine that folds book & newspapers- http://www.mainlinetoday.com/Main-Line-Today/July-2017/Inventor-Cyrus-Chambers-Transformed-the-17th-Century-Milling-Industry/– Patent (s) - https://patents.google.com/patent/US164904- https://patents.google.com/patent/US30910- https://patents.google.com/patent/US104621A/en- https://patents.google.com/patent/US234457 Oct 1988 – A Inupiaq hunter Roy Ahmaogak discovered three gray whales trapped in pack ice in the Beaufort Sea near Point Barrow in the U.S. state of Alaska; the situation becomes a multinational effort to free the whales.

Gerry Kisoun was born on the land in the Mackenzie Delta of the Northwest Territories in the Canadian Arctic, the second largest delta in North America. At a young age, his family moved from the trapline into the town of Inuvik. He grew up running dog teams and shifted between several jobs before heading to Regina, Saskatchewan and graduting from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (R.C.M.P.) Depot Division as a regular member of the force. After postings in Alberta and the Yukon, Gerry returned to the Northwest Territories, stationed in Tuktoyaktuk on the coast of the Beaufort Sea and his home town of Inuvik. After a stellar 25 year career, Gerry retired. He worked in visitor services with Parks Canada passing his knowledge and love of the Delta on to tourists and youth engaged in on the land programs. Gerry was appointed to the position of Deputy Commissioner of the Northwest Territories from 2011 through 2017, and served as interim Commissioner for a year when the position was vacant. Gerry was awarded the Polar Medal which recognized him as a respected elder who worked tirelessly at strengthening the awareness of Northern Canada and its peoples. In this highly entertaining episode we discuss Gerry's birth on the land, his unique cultural background, his experiences growing up running dogs, his career in the R.C.M.P., climate change, and his desire to keep teaching others about the Western Arctic and Beaufort Delta.

The Porcupine caribou herd – a large migratory herd that usually ranges between Dawson City in the Yukon all the way up to the Arctic coastline of the Beaufort Sea in the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Alaska – numbers between 202,000 and 235,000 animals, said Mike Suitor, regional biologist for the North Yukon Region with Environment Yukon.

Sometimes, when we're talking about environmental conservation it's difficult to know or even imagine exactly what really mean. That's especially true when we're asked care, I mean really care about remote areas thousands of miles away from where we live work and play. One such place is the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In a region of Alaska so remote that it is only accessible by small charter airplane the Arctic Refuge is perhaps the most geographically isolated wilderness area in the continental United States. Very few people will ever visit there, but as the home many different plant and animal species including caribou and grizzly bears this remarkable ecosystem on the shores of the Beaufort Sea and the Arctic Ocean is at the forefront of the modern conservation movement. And as a bellwether of the global impacts of climate change the protection of the Arctic Refuge is a major priority for conservation groups like the Sierra Club and many other environmentally focused community outreach organizations. José Gonzalez is the founder of Latino Outdoors. His group aims to help members of the Latino community to become engaged in efforts to protect the natural environment. Along with a leader from Outdoor Afro, a group dedicated to helping African American families forge a bond with the natural world,  José and I had the rare opportunity to travel through the Arctic Refuge. Over the span of seven days we paddled more than 50 miles  along the course of the HulaHula river to experience for ourselves the unique beauty of this vast yet fragile natural habitat. In the hopes raising awareness for the importance of this and other distant wilderness areas this trip was organized to help make a connection with emerging communities of color who will one day be called upon to save them.
