The ability to navigate in icy seas is one of the most important themes in the historical and contemporary story of human interaction with the sea. Over centuries of development ships are now able to operate safely in and amongst giant ice-islands or semi-submerged floes as deadly as any reef. Specialist vessels have been designed with strengthened hulls, unique bow designs and innovative propellers and rudders.To find our more Dr Sam Willis spoke with Zach Schieferstein from Lloyd's Register Foundation's Heritage and Education Centre. Lloyd's Register has been classifying ships by originating and regulating rules regarding their design and construction since 1768. They have classed all types of vessels, from the largest bulk carriers to yachts and more specialist vessels such as high-speed ferries and - of course - icebreakers. Their vast archive is a goldmine for studying this type of craft. Sam and Zach discuss the historical development of icebreaker design and propulsion, the significance of the arctic and antarctic in geopolitics and the crucial role of Lloyd's Register in the evolution of icebreaker design and construction.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents -  Linnaea Farm's Homegrown Series kicks off at 10:00 AM this Saturday. This is a monthly series, which will be offered on March 23rd, April 20th, May 11th and June 8th, 2024. “I want to teach. I've had a lot of seasons under my belt now. 1995 was my first growing season, I was in Pemberton. Then I did a garden program at Linnaea Farm in 1998. I just really like sharing  what I have spent a lifetime doing. I can share all these secrets. I've run a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) garden. I've done pure market gardening. I've done contract growing. I've grown food for sale in all the ways one can do it. So I can share this with anyone,” explained to Adam Schick, a resident steward at Linnaea farm on Cortes Island. “I feel like a really rare bird. Since I was a young man, I have managed to have a career as an organic grower and farmer.  I've managed to do it, making my living mostly growing food. It's been a real struggle, but a real joy.  Part of an evolution of myself is I've become more and more of  a plant breeder and seed saver. That is where my true passion now lies. If you give a man a carrot, you feed him for one day. If you teach a person to grow a carrot and how to save those carrot seeds, then you're ensuring that people are fed forever.” “I'm sure there's new people out there who want this information. I would just love to share what I know. There's classes and I'll have a PowerPoint, but people can come with their own ideas. What do you want to learn?  I have a formula, but I don't have to stick to it.  I'd rather share what I know  and answer  questions. This will be two hours per session at the maximum. Spend a little bit of time in the classroom here in our beautiful Education Centre at Linnea farm then, if it's really nice, we might go wander around and look at some of the gardens. If it's a really  brutal day, I'll probably bring a few things inside. In an ideal world we'll spend some time talking, and some time observing.”

In this episode of the Elder Tree Podcast, Twiggy Dawn interviews herbal elder Pat Collins who resides on  Wanaruah land down in Musswellbrook. Pat has been a herbal teacher and herbal clinician for 32 years and opened the Total Health and Education Centre down in 1997 which is an inspirational place incorporating learning and healing for her community. Pat really advocates home herbalism and loves to see people feeling confident to identify medicine, make their own medicine and use that medicine for their health and their family's health.Pat has written a whopping 8 books and I have been stocking her book "Wondrous World of Weeds" for over a year now.  Pat was a cub leader for around 20 years, which inspired her book "Bush Wise", the founder of the Pat Collins Total Health and Education Centre. Pat shares her journey of becoming a herbalist and opening the centre in Musswellbrook, in NSW. She discusses the herbal products she makes and sells, including creams, syrups, and cleansers. Pat also talks about her involvement with the Indigenous Plants for Health Association and the importance of preserving and researching native plants. She offers regular workshops and a correspondence course to teach people how to make their own herbal remedies. Pat emphasizes the importance of incorporating health and education and connecting with nature through bush camps. In this conversation, the guest discusses the importance of connecting with nature and the need for more education in this area. Connecting with nature is essential in a fast-paced society and can help overcome fear and disconnection.

This episode explores ss Bessemer (1874), known as the 'Swinging Saloon Ship.' An experimental cross-channel steamship, Bessemer was designed with a central saloon that moved on gymbals, to counteract the motion of the ship. It was designed to eliminate seasickness. The man behind the idea was the lifelong seasickness-sufferer Sir Henry Bessemer, an avid and successful inventor. He was already well known for transforming the way that steel was made, making it stronger and cheaper, advantages that transformed structural engineering. To find out how he fared when his great mind turned to the maritime world Dr Sam Willis spoke with Zach Schieferstein from the Lloyd's Register Heritage & Education Centre. Hosted on Acast.

Winnipeg's Holocaust Education Centre is Canada's smallest, at 1,000 square feet. You could park about five cars in it, side by side. And since the pandemic, the Freeman Family Holocaust Education Centre—inside the Asper Jewish Campus—has undergone a major redesign. It now focuses on teaching the Holocaust in a more modern way: using artifacts and digital technology to tell the stories of the 1,050 survivors who would make Winnipeg their new home. The centre reopened to the public on Jan. 25, just ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. But The CJN Daily got an early sneak peek (via Zoom) with a private tour by the executive director, Belle Jarniewski. Listen to the podcast as she explain why the vision for the museum needed to change.

Migrants, Thinkers, Storytellers develops an argument about how individual migrants, coming from four continents and diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, are in many ways affected by a violent categorisation that is often nihilistic, insistently racial, and continuously significant in the organisation of South African society. The book also examines how relative privilege and storytelling function as instruments for migrants to negotiate meanings and shape their lives. It employs narrative lifestory research as its guiding methodology and applies various disciplinary analytical perspectives, with an overall focus on social categorisation and its consequences. The featured stories stress how unsettled, mutable and in flux social categories and identities are – just as a messy pencil sketch challenges clear definitions.

Next up, in our series highlighting Cape Breton valedictorians of 2021... We hear from Olivia MacKenzie of New Waterford, Valedictorian for the Class of 2021 at Breton Education Centre.

In February 1882 the SS Dunedin departed New Zealand on a voyage that would revolutionise the way we eat and kickstart the globalisation of the world's food supply chain. Aboard were thousands of mutton, lamb and pig carcasses as well as 250 kegs of butter, hare, pheasant, turkey, chicken and 2226 sheep tongues. This cargo would be kept fresh in the ship's hold using a Bell-Coleman compression refrigeration machine and would mark the first time fresh goods had ever been transported over such a distance. However, the journey was far from plain sailing though as you will hear in this episode.To tell the Dunedin's story and to celebrate the new digitisation project by Lloyd's Register Foundation's Heritage & Education Centre Dan is joined by Charlotte Ward and Max Wilson from the Foundation. The Lloyd's Register Foundation's Heritage & Education Centre, the custodians to an archive collection of maritime, engineering, scientific, technological, social and economic history that stretches back to 1760. Their ship plan and survey report collection numbers a colossal 1.25 million records, for vessels as diverse as the Mauretania, Fullagar and Cutty Sark! It consists of survey reports, ship plans, certificates, correspondence and the weird and wonderfully unexpected. Currently, there are more than 600k of these records online and available for viewing right now by visiting their website hec.lrfoundation.org.uk.

An interview with Dr. Sarah Raughley, author of young adult fantasy novels including The Effigies series – Fate of Flames; Siege of Shadows; and Legacy of Light – which she describes as “Sailor Moon meets Pacific Rim.” Hear about her love of third-person point of view, her advice on getting unstuck in your story, and her experience of getting the best ideas when you stop trying to find them. 25 minutes. All ages. A full transcript is available at CabinTales.ca. Show Notes [0:00] Intro [1:25] Interview with Sarah Raughley CA: So first some questions about plotting. …. Do you tend to know what's going to happen when you begin? … SR: I definitely do outline. I'm definitely a plotter. I think that's especially important when you have this big sprawling fantasy. …. So it's good to know the motivations of the characters, it's good to know key driving moments in the plot. But at the same time you can't know everything. So I always, as much as I outline and I plot, I always leave room to be surprised. …   [2:10] CA: … And do you tend to keep the endings that you plan? … SR: I do think the endings change. I'm writing a book now which is coming out under Simon and Schuster called The Bones of Ruin, and it'll be out in Fall 2021. ….And then my editor gets back to me and she's like, I don't like this ending. So I had to rethink and we had to brainstorm, how else can we end this story? Yeah, endings can change even if you have an ending in mind….   [3:30] CA: …And how do you feel about tormenting your characters? SR: I think people expect it. … I think they secretly love it because it keeps you invested in those characters. … If you read his story and that character's path is easy, no matter how much you love that character it's not going to feel real and, whatever the gain at the end of the book, it's not going to feel earned. …And you need to give the characters those sweet moments and those moments of pause and joy as well.   [4:50] CA: …Do you have any advice for getting yourself unstuck in the middle of a story? SR: I've had this experience very recently, and what I did was I just put the book away. … I did other kinds of writing, not even creative writing. … I was able to you know gain some experience writing and editing outside of the realm of novel writing. … And when I came back to the novel, I realized that I was almost rejuvenated. … So I would say, if it's really getting tough, don't be afraid to put it away for some time and just dive into something else. And those ideas will come when you least expect it, when you're not worrying about it.   [6:50] CA: And how do you feel about sad endings? SR: Yeah, I think it depends on the story you're writing. …there are times when sad endings have made me think, they've touched me, they've made me think about life, they made me think about what does it mean to rise above a challenge?. What does it mean to succeed in something? … So I think you need to be open to different kinds of endings, and know that there are different kinds of stories that you can tell that are just as powerful as a happy ending.   [8:30] CA: And a few questions about revision. Some people draft and get it all out and then start revising, and then other people revise as they go. … Do you tend to do one or the other of those things? SR: I revise as I go, but … I concentrate more on … just getting it finished, especially now that I'm on deadlines. …Once you get to the point where you're getting editing letters from an editor -- things are going to change. It doesn't matter whether you painstakingly edited this paragraph, that paragraph might end up being completely cut out of the final draft. So, I always edit as I go just to make sure that the story makes sense, that the ideas and basic motivations and all those things are there. But I make sure that I finish it first…   [9:55] CA: And do you have a critique group or a peer support group or somebody who sees your work in addition to your editor? SR: I've been trying actually to put a group together. … It's not necessarily about sharing work. … But it's just about like commiserating and talking about just being a writer and some of the challenges that we've come across. But these days I don't really have time to  write a draft and then send it over to somebody to read for me before I revise it and send it back to my editor. … But my editor is so phenomenal when it comes to notes that I usually just, I trust her, her point of view. But … I think critique groups have helped a lot of people. …Having other people that you can share your work with, you can talk to – just that alone can be a great help to a writer.   [12:10] CA: And do you have a favorite POV to write from? SR: It's funny because I have always been about sort of limited third person point of view. You're sort of in the mind of the character but it's still a third person POV. … But when I first started writing YA, I was told that a first person POV was more marketable. …But the books I've read have always been in third person and I just really love that POV. So the last two books I wrote have been in third person. … Personally I feel that high fantasies -- you know, big sprawling fantasies – they really lend themselves to a third person POV, and also to multiple points of view. …   [13:40] CA:. And did you have oh do you have a regular writing practice…? SR: I write whenever I feel like writing. … if the words are flowing at 3am, why not write at 3:00 AM? If the words are flowing, you know, at 9:00 PM. That's just how I do it. …I've given the advice before, Well, just block out 30 minutes and you can't do anything else for those 30 minutes. And that can help some people. It might push them to write something, even if it's a sentence. But then it's like, but what if you can't? Then what if you wake up at 3:00 AM with a really great idea and the words are flowing? I wouldn't miss that opportunity. …   [15:10] CA: And do you have a favourite scary story or scary movie? … SR: I don't like scary things at all. … when I was a kid I liked … “Are you Afraid of the Dark?” … on YTV. …But as an adult, I think I'm less brave.   [15:55] CA: Do you have any phobias, any fears? SR: I hate bugs and spiders. That's the big thing. CA: Do you ever put bugs and spiders in your fiction? SR: Nope….   [16:15] CA: And at any stage in writing, do you ever read your work out loud? SR: Sometimes if I really need to. I think more so than reading my work out loud, I will use the voice recorder to record ideas. …   [16:50] CA: Is there somewhere that you get your best ideas? SR: Usually it's when I'm sleeping or when I just wake up. … I think it's in those relaxed states… Those are the times for me when the ideas just kind of come, which is why I need to have a recorder handy in these odd places.   [17:20] CA: And do you keep a journal or just the voice recordings? SR: Just the voice recordings. In terms of a journal, I will often have just a Word document in which I'll … write down, here are the characters, here's the world building, and all that kind of stuff. I'll just put that down in a Word document so I have it all there. …   [18:00] CA: Right. And are any of your stories based on your own childhood or adult life? SR: I think mostly because there's such high fantasies, they're not really based on my own life. I might put little bits of experiences that I've had, but for the most part I think that they're based off of the things that I loved as a child, the stories that I loved as a child. …I don't think I have plans yet to write a book based off of my own childhood because I don't even know what that would look like. …   [19:05] CA: … Do you have any recommendations to young writers for worldbuilding or for developing an effective setting? SR: There are great worldbuilding books out there. …. Oftentimes they'll talk about creating a world that suits the story that you want to tell…You want the story to speak to the setting, you want the setting to speak to the characters, the characters to speak to the setting. …You want to be able to answer the question of why. If your story is set in a floating island, why? Does it have something to do with the isolation from the world below? Is that an important part of your story? … And just keep asking yourself questions -- about language, about culture, about institutions. … And I would always say look out for good worldbuilding books and try to learn from them as much as you can.   [21:46] CA: Thank you so much for your time. …. So good to talk to you. SR: Great to talk to you…. Bye   [22:15] Sarah Raughley introduces herself SR: My name is Sarah Raughley. I'm the author of the YA fantasy trilogy called The Effigies series, which I like to pitch as “Sailor Moon meets Pacific Rim.” I'm also, on top of being an author, I'm a writer and an academic.

A Feilding childcare centre investigated over claims of smacking children and feeding them mouldy food has lost its licence and closed. The Pitter Patter Centre run by Pauline Murphy has been under official scrutiny for four months and she was banned from the premises.

While research has made it abundantly clear that ADHD significantly impairs learning on par with other neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism and learning disabilities, the Ministry of Education in Ontario has yet to recognize this fact. The Ministry continues to refuse to recognize ADHD as a disability in their special education categories of exceptionality as they do with Autism and learning disabilities. Excluding ADHD from the Ministry of Education special education categories allows school boards to refuse to officially identify students with ADHD as exceptional learners, preventing them from receiving accommodations. This lack of recognition also means that educators are not receiving adequate training in ADHD or appropriate teaching strategies, despite having one to three students with ADHD in their classroom each year.

The UK has always been a popular destination for further study as the UK universities are constantly featured in the top tier world ranking in terms of teachings, research, and graduate's employability. Additionally, the UK itself is a country with a vibrant, multi-faceted culture that has benefited the country in all areas from industry and commerce to music, art, sport, science, and literature, making it even more appealing as a country of destination to live and to study. However, a survey by Inadata in 2018 exposed character weaknesses described as ‘who cares', in terms of attitude, ignorance, comfort, motivation, persistency and tenacity. This concerns parents greatly at a time when they are physically far away and maybe not best able to influence better habits, performance and general parental care. In this first BritCham Human Capital & Education Centre webinar we will discuss the concerns and debunk the stereotypes of studying abroad, specifically in the UK.

The United Nations Security Council endorsed the UN Secretary-General's call last month for warring parties in Yemen to immediately cease fighting and focus on reaching a peace agreement whilst countering the outbreak of the coronavirus. The coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, responded with a two week ceasefire which was renewed for another month. While the cross border hostilities de-escalated, the conflict fronts inside Yemen continued to boil. This event will reflect on the challenges and possibilities for a comprehensive and inclusive peace agreement in Yemen. The speakers will discuss lessons learned from previous peace talks and ceasefire initiatives. They will also shed light on the national and regional dynamics affecting the peace process in Yemen. This event is co-organised with the Peace Track Initiative, an organisation that works on localising and feminising the peace process by supporting inclusive peace processes. Their role in holding Track II consultations with women’s groups and the role of women peacemakers will also be explored. Fatima Al-Asrar is a Non-Resident Scholar at the Middle East Institute. Before joining the Institute, Al-Asrar was a Senior Analyst at the Arabia Foundation in Washington DC, MENA Director for Cure Violence, Research Associate at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, a Mason Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government, and an International Policy Fellow at the Open Society Foundation. From 2006-12, she worked as an advisor for the Embassy of Yemen in Washington, DC. Earlier in her career, Al-Asrar served as a program officer for the Department for International Development (DFID) in Yemen. Rasha Jarhum is Co-Founder and Director of the Peace Track Initiative hosted at the Human Rights Research and Education Centre, at the University of Ottawa. Jarhum was invited by the UN Special Envoy to Yemen as one of seven women to support the peace talks held in Kuwait in 2016, and has briefed the UN Security Council on Yemen and Women’s Rights to push for peace. She is an affiliated scholar with the American University of Beirut. She has more than 15 years of experience working to advocate for women's, children's and refugee rights.

I sit with three leaders in doTERRA and ask about their experiences on the doTERRA Co-impact sourcing trip to Guatamala, held in Nov 2019.  I learn exactly what it feels like to play a role in the Value Chain that this opportunity gifts us (and what that even means).  Cherie Birks:  "Standing in a warehouse full of Cardamom in Guatemala today, I tried to wrap my head around how to best describe this week to you. ⠀ ⠀ As the dried, crushed pods were being distilled, the strong heady scent reminded of the people we'd met along the unique process. ⠀ ⠀ ‘High quality people' was a term that was used but so few words in the English language could come close to communicating those qualities. ⠀ ⠀ I am forever changed, for their stories are now our stories. " Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atthearomaco Danyel Waters:  "So here's the thing. I truly believe that most human beings want to leave this earth knowing they've made an impact. The width of that impact is variable depending on how big they think and what they feel they are capable of. For me, finding out the lengths dōTERRA go to to ensure that the oil they source isn't just the most potent, purist & highest quality but to ensure that WHERE they source it from will have the biggest positive effect on the communities who grow the plants we produce these oils from, was a HUGE selling factor. We live in the day and age where we, as consumers are becoming more savvy on just how big a role the dollars we spend can impact the wider world. Most people will understand now, that when you choose to buy cheap mass produced clothing, you're choosing to support slave labour & brutal working conditions abroad. That when you buy the $1 milk & bread, you're supporting the corporate giants who are ripping the livelihood of the farming industry to shreds. That when you give no thought to where your food, clothing or household products are sourced before you're purchasing, you're handing over your money with ignorance to the personal power YOU have to create change. If we, as a collective, began to exercise our conscious choice to stand behind those game changers out there who are producing fair trade goods, or choosing organic farming methods over chemically tainted profits, who are striving to improve the supply chain for ALL of us, we would witness a ripple effect that has the ability to touch every corner of the globe. Let me share an example of this, where I've seen my personal dollar & the dollars of my own customers make a difference this past week. My husband and I were given the opportunity to visit Guatemala on a Co-Impact Sourcing trip, a part of the world we would never have considered to travel otherwise, to see the supply chain of one of the essential oils we sell, Cardamom. Cardamom grows natively in Guatemala, with its biggest consumer being the spice traders. The essential oil industry only purchases 5% of Guatemala's cardamom. Prior to dōTERRA's & it's partnership with Choice Humanitarians influence in the cardamom producing chain, growers, local families with larger plots, were making on average 80,000 Quetzals a year (equivalent to around AUD$15,000 a year). With the efforts of Choice Humanitarian and the backing of dōTERRA, those families now can earn up to 200,000 quetzals a year ( approx AUD$36,000 per year). That's just by showing them how to grow a plant by seed so that it will produce fruit for years longer than growing from a cutting. By showing them how to harvest so that the yield of cardamom will be higher and fetch a better price. By showing them how to grow & produce other crops on the same land in cardamoms off season. By showing them how to grow a business that can be handed down through generations and the ripple effect felt for decades to come. By paying the farmers a fair & just price and reducing the instances of middle men or “coyotes” as they are referred to there, who pay the least they can for the produce, just to onsell it at a higher rate to another coyote, inflating the price sometimes 9 times over before it actually makes it to market. These improvements to the value chain along with the community projects that dōTERRA are involved in there, such as helping to build a water system to deliver fresh water to rural Guatemalan communities or helping in the construction of a Education Centre where community members can learn skills to help them become employable & propel them out of poverty, were what we witnessed in just one corner of the world that DōTERRA are working in. Multiple that by 48 others countries and you'll start to understand the magnitude of the positive ripple effect that this company are having on the wider world. THIS is the kind of personal power YOU have by voting with your dollar and spending it with businesses and companies who actually gives a fk about the world. THIS is the dōTERRA Difference. And why we choose to proudly partner & create waves of change alongside them.

Seven Miles Hello and welcome to Episode 0 of C.S.G. This is just a brief intro to who we are and what we trying to do with this project. Adam Carr: A chemical engineer Ph.d. Adam has many years of experience in research at world renowned universities such as MIT. Now he works and manages the Coffee Science and Education Centre at Seven Miles Coffee Roasters because "coffee is good" (Carr, 2018). Julian Marriott-Brittan: Born the same decade that the first espresso machine touched Australian shores, you would be hard pressed to find someone with more experience in the coffee industry. You would also be hard pressed to find a better font of knowledge about coffee as a whole and we are lucky to have him on the show. Seriously... He would really like to retire already. Josh Bowen: With (almost) a decade of coffee making experience under his belt and a general passion for talking about coffee, cafes and cafe culture in general. Josh is the Pinky to Adam's Brain. The Robin to Julian's Alfred. He also edits the podcast and writes these fun little descriptions. (In the third person no less) @jbreazy24 on Insta
