If a black hole shreds a star and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Professor Yvette Cendes, (aka u/Andromeda321 on Reddit), a Radio Astronomer studying transient radio signals from space. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, a report by the Dark Energy Survey that seems to show that the amount of dark energy originally described as the cosmological constant by Albert Einstein might in fact be variable. As Prof. Cendes explains, the data indicates that universal expansion is still accelerating but the rate might be changing. After Yvette explains what she does, and how radio astronomy works in concert with optical astronomy to deliver a more complete understanding, Chuck asks her to explain Tidal Disruption Events, or TDEs, about which she's a world expert. A TDE is when a star wanders too close to a supermassive black hole and ends up getting shredded. Yvette prefers to call them “Shredders.” Our first audience question comes from Nachama, who asks, “When will the black hole in the Milky Way eat the Sun?” The good news, according to Yvette, is that will never happen. As she explains, black holes actually don't suck any more than anything that massive would, and we're 25-30,000 light years away from Sagittarius A* – too far away to worry about. Next, Chuck asks Yvette about one of the most famous transient signals we've ever found, the so called “Wow!” signal detected in 1977 by Jerry Ehman at the now-defunct Xavier Observatory in Ohio. Because the signal looked exactly like what might be expected if it were of extraterrestrial origin, Ehman circled it on the printout and wrote, “Wow!” Unfortunately, it never repeated. The most likely explanation, according to Dr. Cendes, is that it was some sort of manmade interference, although the signal is currently being reinvestigated. Yvette recounts how she ended up ended up as a first-term professor at the University of Oregon after studying in the Netherlands and Toronto and working at Harvard. Then she answers an audience question from Yan Min, who asks, “Where is the best place in the world to study astronomy? I live in New York – Is it New York?” Unfortunately for Yankees fans, Yvette says it would most likely be Cambridge, Massachusetts thanks to Harvard, which has the biggest number of astronomers under one roof and operates the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, and M.I.T. on the other side of town if you get bored. Chuck asks Yvette what happens after a black hole shreds a star. Shredders, she explains, are rare. In our own Milky Way, they probably happen once every million years. Once a TDE is classified by optical astronomers, Yvette and her team point their radio telescopes at the tidal radius outside of the event horizon to discern the outflows weeks, months and even years after the initial event. He also asks Yvette if she has any hobbies to help her decompress from thinking about violent events in the universe. She likes to cross stitch, the “original pixel art.” Yvette shows us a cross stitch she made of the James Webb Space Telescope complex mirror, another featuring an 8-bit Mario screen with the words “What doesn't kill me makes me smaller,” and a third with objects in the Solar System. She also embroiders and shows us a hoop featuring the constellations visible in the northern hemisphere night sky. We end with Yvette and Allen schooling Chuck about Reddit's immense reach and value in scientific discourse. One subreddit, called r/Space, has “27 million intelligent lifeforms” subscribed to it. On Reddit, Yvette's username is u/Andromeda321, and she's one of the top users on the platform over 1 million karma points. She's known for starting her posts that explain or comment on recent discoveries with the phrase, “Astronomer here!” If you'd like to follow Dr. Yvette Cendes, you can find her on Reddit, where she's u/Andromeda321, and her dedicated subreddit, reddit.com/r/Andromeda321. You can also follow her on Bluesky @whereisyvette.bsky.social.

In August of 1977, at the Big Ear Radio Telescope in Delaware, Ohio, astronomer Jerry Ehman reviewed a batch of computer printouts and was puzzled by a strange pattern in the data. The 72 seconds of readouts were so impressive, that Ehman circled the signal for his colleagues and wrote the simple word “Wow” next to it. The radio telescope had begun its part in the search for extraterrestrial life just 4 years earlier and a number of scientists thought they had finally found what they were looking for. They scanned the sky to find the signal again, desperately sweeping the coordinates from where it originated to attempt to find a repeat of the mysterious phenomenon. Unfortunately, no other signal was ever forthcoming and humans once again were possibly the only life in the Universe. Undaunted, scientists all over the world believe that there is life beyond our solar neighborhood, we just haven't found it yet.

With my love of questions, I was attracted immediately to lovely Lain Ehman of the A More Beautiful Question Podcast and Radio Show. Her legacy has to do with changing a problem into a solution by asking the better question. Instead of: "Why is life so hard?" ask, "What am I learning right now?"  Lain's desire is to bring people to ask questions about life and God for the express intention to help them live their best life and know the true God of the Bible. Only in knowing and relying on God do we live our whole story with joy and purpose. Walking out our faith can get tricky. On her show, Lain discusses how we can be the light of the world in all areas of our lives: Home, church, community, work, and beyond — even when things get messy! Using humor, insightful questions, and biblical principles, Lain's mission is as a truth teller and encourage, exhorting women to live courageously for God. Lain and her husband of 25 years are raising 3 young people in the sunshine state of Arizona.   You can listen to her here: A More Beautiful Question You can read more about her books and speaking here: A More Beautiful Question with Lain Ehman Lain's favorite recipe is Stuffed Shells (Isn't that everyone's?

 Have aliens been trying to make contact since the first Star Wars was released? In 1977, astronomer Jerry Ehman was using a radio telescope called Big Ear from Ohio State University to scan the stars around the constellation Sagittarius. Ehman was going over the print-out of the recorded information and found that they had received a strong narrowband radio signal that bore the expected hallmarks of extraterrestrial origin.  Ehman was so excited by the discovery that he wrote “Wow!” in the margins after circling the data. But was this really our first alien contact? Find out in this episode!

One of the leading America's Cup veterans is vehemently against racing being held offshore.The defence of the Auld Mug looks to be heading offshore, after the holders were unable to reach a funding agreement with the New Zealand government for it to be held on these shores.Tom Ehman, who was vice-commodore of the Golden Gate yacht club when their Cup defence was taken to Bermuda in 2017, told Heather du Plessis-Allan he doesn't like the plan. "I was on the board, they came to us and the commodore said we could do that, and I was opposed. We could have run it in San Francisco, we could have run it any number of places in the States, and that's the way the Cup's always been run."However, he says that as long as the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron members are supportive of the idea, not much can be done about it. LISTEN ABOVE

We are gonna take a look at the WOW signal! What is it? Where did it come from? Is Owen Wilson involved? Well hopefully we'll find out… Maybe not… Who knows!   Some of you have heard of the wow signal and you may know a little about it already, hopefully we can give you guys some more insight today.    The story starts back in 1959 when two Cornell university physicists, Philip Morrison who was a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He is known for his work on the Manhattan Project during World War II, and for his later work in quantum physics, nuclear physics and high energy astrophysics and Giuseppe Cocconi, who was an Italian physicist who was director of the Proton Synchrotron at CERN in Geneva. He is known for his work in particle physics and for his involvement with SETI. These two nerds speculated that there might be a specific radio frequency that an intelligent extraterrestrial life would use if they were trying to make contact. That frequency is 1420 megahertz.   https://youtu.be/M-SKyGnpTpM   That frequency was chosen for a particular reason, it is the same frequency naturally emitted by hydrogen. Now if you're up on your elements you know hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. It stands to reason, therefore, that hydrogen and thus its frequency would be familiar to any intelligent civilizations in the universe.    Then between 1965 and 1971 The Ohio State University Radio Observatory carried out the Ohio Sky Survey. Data was collected using the Big Ear radio telescope. The observatory was a Kraus-type (after its inventor John D. Kraus) radio telescope.  The observatory was part of The Ohio State University's Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project. Construction of the Big Ear began in 1956 and was completed in 1961, and it was finally turned on for the first time in 1963. The survey was primarily at a radio frequency of 1415 MHz, but data was also collected and evaluated at 2650 MHz and 612 MHz. Only one "channel" or band of frequencies was sampled for each frequency. The antenna was oriented to one declination at a time, (a declination is the angular distance of a point north or south of the celestial equator) and as the sky drifted past the meridian field of view, radio energy from that area was received and detected. Signal power was plotted on an analog chart recorder and also digitized and recorded on magnetic tape for later processing. A given declination was observed for a number of days before the telescope was moved to another declination in a systematic fashion.   The area surveyed was from declinations 63 degrees north to 36 degrees south, with a resolution at 1415 MHz of roughly 40 arc minutes in declination by 10 arc minutes in right ascension (RA). Over the course of the Survey, 19,620 sources at 1415 MHz were identified, of which 60% were previously uncataloged.   Some of the objects first identified by the Ohio Survey included quasars, objects of intense radiation and power at the edge of the then-known universe. The archived data subsequently permitted these and other sources to be reviewed over several years of observations. Later, the LOBES survey used most of the same apparatus as the Ohio Survey, and was able to automatically determine and verify the sources first charted by the Ohio Survey.   After the Ohio Sky Survey, Big Ear was put to use for Ohio State's SETI  research program. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a collective term for scientific searches for intelligent extraterrestrial life, for example, monitoring electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions from civilizations on other planets. Now we are already getting kind of nerdy so we are not going to get into the history of SETI and all of the people that were involved throughout the years. It would basically be its own big nerdy episode. It's pretty awesome and interesting to get into if you've got the time to get into it. Actually, it sounds like an awesome Patreon Bonus. But for now the basic description is all you need… People looking for intelligent life throughout the universe. Because, well, there isn’t a whole lot here on earth. The Ohio State seti program lasted from 1973-1995 and made the 1995 Guinness book of world records for the longest running seti program. It was during this 22 year run that the WOW signal came into being. So with that history out of the way let's get to the signal itself… There's going to be some sciencey stuff so get ready to get your nerd on!     On August 15, 1977 as Big Ear was scanning the heavens, it received a remarkable signal. Astronomer Jerry R. Ehman was sifting through data for several days and came across the signal. On a piece of printed tape with mostly 1s 2s and 3s there was the occasional higher number and then he noticed a line that contained the following sequence, 6EQUJ5. Ehman circled the section in red and wrote a little note in the margin... one word… that word? It was “poop.” No one knows why he wrote “poop” next to the sequence, either. And of course that’s stupid and I made it up. No, you silly fuckers! The word was, of course… “WOW!” The signal seemingly came from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius and contained the expected hallmarks of extraterrestrial origin! Aliens, bitches!!   The sequence string 6EQUJ5, commonly misinterpreted as a message encoded in the radio signal, represents in fact the signal's intensity variation over time, expressed in the particular measuring system adopted for the experiment. Got that? Good.  The signal itself appeared to be an unmodulated continuous wave, although any modulation with a period of less than 10 seconds or longer than 72 seconds would not have been detectable. So basically the letters and numbers  represent how strong or intense the signal was as compared to the constant background noise. If the signal was longer than 72 seconds any modulation in the signal would not have been able to be detected.    Ok so the intensity of the signals were measured at a signal to noise ratio. Basically they would constantly measure the noise coming through to determine a baseline reading to compare any received signals to. The signal was sampled for 10 seconds and then processed by the computer, which took 2 seconds. Therefore, every 12 seconds the result for each frequency channel was output on the printout as a single character, representing the 10-second average intensity, minus the baseline. So essentially every 12 seconds a series of numbers were printed out giving the researchers an idea of how strong any signal that might be received was as compared to the baseline noise.    The numbers and letters were part of an alphanumeric system set up by the researchers to determine signal strength. If there was just a blank space that meant the signal was between 0-1. This means a signal between the baseline and one standard deviation above the baseline. So essentially there's no signal but the baseline noise coming back. This is why when you look at the printout there are mostly spaces and 1s as there was no signal side from baseline noise coming back. The numbers 1 to 9 denote the correspondingly numbered intensities (from 1 to 9); intensities of 10 and above are indicated by a letter: "A" corresponds to intensities between 10 and 11, "B" to 11 to 12, and so on. So we know that was a bit tedious but that information is needed to understand just why the series of numbers and letters was so incredible. The wow signal had the highest intensity measured at the value of U. This means that while most of the returns were between 0-2 deviations above the baseline the WOW signal hit U which means it was around 30-31 deviations above the baseline! So in layman's terms imagine you're watching your tv at a volume level of 1 and all of a sudden it hits a volume of 30 that's kind of what we're dealing with. And if you're wondering, the frequency that the WOW signal was detected at was indeed around the 1420 that we mentioned earlier. The frequency that was suggested as the most likely for use by an intelligent civilization trying to make contact.    The length of the signal does not necessarily mean that the 72 seconds was the total length of the signal though. The Big Ear radio telescope was only adjustable for altitude (or height above the horizon), and relied on the rotation of the Earth to scan across the sky. Given this fact, sure to the speed of the Earth's rotation, any signal could only last a max of 72 seconds until the rotation of the earth took the radio telescope out of the way of the signal. The signal strength would be shown to get gradually louder then gradually softer as the telescope approached and then went away from the source of the signal. This is what we see with the WOW signal.    Though the signal came from the general direction of the Sagittarius constellation, due to the telescope's design it was not possible to pinpoint the location exactly. The Big Ear telescope, which featured two feed horns, each receiving a beam from slightly different directions, while following Earth's rotation. The Wow! signal was detected in one beam but not in the other, and the data was processed in such a way that it is impossible to determine which of the two horns received the signal. The region of the sky in question lies northwest of the globular cluster M55, in the constellation Sagittarius, roughly 2.5 degrees south of the fifth-magnitude star group Chi Sagittarii, and about 3.5 degrees south of the plane of the ecliptic. The closest easily visible star is Tau Sagittarii. If you know what all that means… More power trip you… if not, were with you! No nearby sun-like stars were within the antenna coordinates, although in any direction the antenna pattern would encompass about six distant stars.    So now after all that… What the fuck was the signal? Where exactly did it come from? Was it aliens?   Many different hypotheses have been put forth over the years although none have really gained traction with scientists and astronomers due to the strangeness of the situation.   One hypothesis that was presented early on was that the signal was actually a signal generated from earth and reflected off of some space junk and picked up by the telescope.  Ehman has said: "We should have seen it again when we looked for it 50 times. Something suggests it was an Earth-sourced signal that simply got reflected off a piece of space debris." Ehman backed off of this suggestion after further research showed an Earth-borne signal to be very unlikely, given the requirements of a space-borne reflector being bound to certain unrealistic requirements to sufficiently explain the signal. Also, it is problematic to propose that the 1420 MHz signal originated from Earth since this is within a protected spectrum: a bandwidth reserved for astronomical purposes in which terrestrial transmitters are forbidden to transmit.    The reason Ehman suggested this theory is that they searched for the signal again many times and were never able to find it again. This lead to a few other hypotheses like the signal was a rotating signal similar to a lighthouse beacon or that it was just a one time signal shot in our direction like maybe something knew we were scanning!  In a 2012 podcast, scientific skeptic author Brian Dunning concluded that a radio transmission from deep space in the direction of Sagittarius, as opposed to a near-Earth origin, remains the best technical explanation for the emission, although there is no evidence to conclude that an alien intelligence was the source.   Speaking of looking for it again, there have been many attempts to locate the signal since it was found. As stated Ehman and his crew searched for it many times to no avail.    Robert H. Gray looked for the signal in 1987 and again in 1989. Gray is a data analyst, astronomer, and author. He wrote the book The Elusive Wow: Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Gray heard about the WOW signal a few years after it had been discovered and contacted Ehman. He went and visited Big Ear, and spoke with Ehman, Robert S. Dixon (director of the SETI project) and John D. Kraus (the telescope's designer). In 1980 gray set up a commercial telecommunications dish in his Chicago backyard and started scanning the skies for some trace of the wow signal. He began to run and monitor his small SETI Observatory regularly in 1983 but still could not find a trace of the wow signal. In 1987 and 1989 he led searches for the wow signal using the Harvard/Smithsonian META radio telescope at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, Massachusetts. In 1995 and 1996 Gray would again search for the signal. This time he would pair up with Kevin B. Marvel and use the Very Large Array radio telescope in New Mexico. Kevin B. Marvel has served as the Executive Officer for the American Astronomical Society, the largest professional organization for researchers in astronomy and related disciplines, since July of 2006.  He began work with the AAS as Associate Executive Officer for Public Policy in 1998 establishing the Society’s public policy program becoming Deputy Executive Officer in 2003.  Before taking up a position with the American Astronomical Society in 1998 he served as a postdoctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology's (CALTECH’s) Owens Valley Radio Observatory. He received his Ph.D. in Astronomy in 1996 from New Mexico State University.  So you know… This guy knows his shit.  The Very Large Array, or VLA for short, is a centimeter-wavelength radio astronomy observatory located in central New Mexico. Astronomers using the VLA have made key observations of black holes and protoplanetary disks around young stars, discovered magnetic filaments and traced complex gas motions at the Milky Way's center, probed the Universe's cosmological parameters, and provided new knowledge about the physical mechanisms that produce radio emission. Gray became the first amateur astronomer to use the VLA, and the first individual to use it to search for extraterrestrial signals. In 1998, he and University of Tasmania professor Simon Ellingsen conducted searches using the 26-meter dish at the Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory in Hobart, Tasmania. Gray and Ellingsen made six 14-hour observations where the Big Ear was pointing when it found the Wow! signal, searching for intermittent and possibly periodic signals, rather than a constant signal. No signals resembling the Wow! were detected. In 2011, Gray published the book The Elusive Wow: Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, summarizing what is known about the Wow! signal, covering his own search for the signal, and offering an overview of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. In 2016, Gray published an article in Scientific American about the Fermi paradox, which claims that if extraterrestrials existed, we would see signs of them on Earth, because they would certainly colonize the galaxy by interstellar travel. Gray argues that the Fermi paradox, named after Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi, does not accurately represent Fermi's views. Gray states that Fermi questioned the feasibility of interstellar travel, but did not say definitively whether or not he thought extraterrestrials exist. This guy is like the king of searching for the wow signal. He, more than anyone else, had kept the dream alive so to speak of finding this signal again.    In 2017 a new theory emerged that got people talking. The headlines all over science publications read that the mystery had been solved. Everyone dove into this theory. Antonio Paris, of St Petersburg College, thought discovered the explanation: a pair of comets. The work was published in the Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences.   These comets, known as  266P/Christensen and 335P/Gibbs, have clouds of hydrogen gas millions of kilometres in diameter surrounding them.   The Wow! Signal was detected at 1420MHz, which is the radio frequency hydrogen naturally emits.   Notably, the team had verified that the comets were within the vicinity at the time, and they report that the radio signals from 266/P Christensen matched those from the Wow! signal. They used three of world's biggest radio telescopes: the Parkes radio telescope in Australia (210 feet or 64 metres in diameter), the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia (140 feet or 40 metres in diameter), and Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico (the world's largest at 1,000 feet or 300 metres in diameter). In his paper, Paris wrote that comets will, under certain conditions, emit radio waves from the gases that surround them as they zoom closer to the sun. According to the study, Comet 266P/Christensen was in about the right position on the right day in 1977.    Several astronomers, including Ehman, think Paris is wrong about the comet. Ehman looked at Paris' study with Robert Dixon, who directs the radio observatory at The Ohio State University (Big Ear was destroyed in 1997). Two big issues are that the signal didn't repeat, and it appeared for such a short time. Ehman noted that the Big Ear telescope had two "feed horns," each of which provides a slightly different field of view for a radio telescope.    "We should have seen the source come through twice in about 3 minutes: one response lasting 72 seconds and a second response for 72 seconds following within about a minute and a half," Ehman told Live Science. "We didn't see the second one."   The only way that can happen, he said, is if the signal was cut off abruptly. A comet wouldn't produce that kind of signal, because the gases that surround them cover large, diffuse areas. Nor would the comet have escaped from the radio telescope's field of view that fast.          The other issue is the frequency of transmission. Paris said he has shown that comets can emit in that range, but Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, is skeptical. Shostak used to study emissions from neutral hydrogen in the 1,420-MHz range, and is less sure the emission would look right. Comets may not generate enough hydrogen to make a bright enough signal like Wow!.     "I don't think anyone ever found such emission from comets," Shostak told Live Science.   In late 2020 another theory came about.  A star! First, some background. Back in 2013, the European Space Agency launched the Gaia space observatory to map the night sky — to determine the position, the distance, and the motion of stars with unprecedented accuracy. So far, Gaia has mapped some 1.3 billion stars, allowing astronomers to begin creating the most detailed 3D map ever made of our galaxy. The mission is expected to continue until 2024. Gaia’s new star map has significantly improved our understanding of the galaxy and the stars within it and this gave amateur astronomer Alberto Caballero an idea. The Gaia database is now significantly more detailed than the star catalog that John Kraus studied in the 1970s. Perhaps the new database might reveal the source of the Wow! signal, he reasoned. So Caballero repeated the search, looking for Sun-like stars among the thousands that have been identified by Gaia in this region of the sky. By Sun-like, he means stars that share the same temperature, radius and luminosity .   The search returned just one candidate. “The only potential Sun-like star in all the WOW! Signal region appears to be 2MASS 19281982-2640123,” says Caballero. This star sits in the constellation of Sagittarius at a distance of 1800 light-years. It is an identical twin to our Sun, with the same temperature, radius, and luminosity.   Of course, Caballero’s work does not mean that 2MASS 19281982-2640123 must have been the source. He points out that there are many stars in that region of the sky that are too dim to be included in the catalog. One of these could be the source. And there are some 66 other stars in the catalog that Caballero identified as potential candidates but with less strong evidence. These match the Sun’s temperature but data about their luminosity and radius is currently incomplete. So future data releases from Gaia and other mapping projects might yet reveal them as matches. For the moment, 2MASS 19281982-2640123 is our best bet and a good candidate for future study. Caballero says an obvious goal would be to look for signs of exoplanets orbiting this star. It could also be prioritized for study in the radio part of the spectrum.    So what else could it be? Could it still be an alien signal coming from a distant planet?  Ehman isn't convinced it's aliens, either. There are many phenomena that show sudden appearances and disappearances of radio signals, including fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are mysterious radio bursts with hotly-debated astrophysical origins that generate irregular signals that last only milliseconds. Fast radio bursts are intense bursts of radio emission that have durations of milliseconds and exhibit the characteristic dispersion sweep of radio pulsars. The first was discovered in 2007 by Lorimer, although it was actually observed some six years earlier, in archival data from a pulsar survey of the Magellanic clouds. It was dubbed the “Lorimer Burst”. Many FRBs have since been recorded, including several that have been detected to repeat in seemingly irregular ways. Most FRBs are extragalactic, but the first Milky Way FRB was detected by the CHIME radio telescope in April 2020. When the FRBs are polarized, it indicates that they are emitted from a source contained within an extremely powerful magnetic field. The exact origin and cause of the FRBs is still the subject of investigation; proposals for their origin range from a rapidly rotating neutron star and a black hole, to extraterrestrial intelligence. If the Big Ear picked up only the tail end of such an emission, the data could look similar to the Wow! signal, Ehman speculated.   "The issue with the feed horns is something no one can explain, including me," Paris said. "There is some data out there to suggest the issue is at the telescope end and not the phenomenon itself." So it's possible that the signal could have been caused by a glitch in the Big Ear telescope.   Was that E.T. or was it not E.T.? Nobody knows,” Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, tells Astronomy. “Nobody has ever found another explanation for what that might have been. It's like you hear chains rattling in your attic and you think ‘My god ghosts are real.’ But then you never hear them again, so what do you think?” Most importantly, Shostak says that if the signal wouldn’t have had Wow! written across it, no one would’ve ever heard of it. One-off signals like this were common back in the early days of SETI, when observatory computers were too primitive to notify astronomers of discoveries in real time, or perform rapid-fire follow-ups.    Despite uncertainties on signals picked up from across space, scientists continue to look for signs of alien life. For instance, NASA's TESS mission hopes to find exoplanets. The effort has already led to the discovery of “hot Saturn” planet TOI 197.01. Lead author Lisa Kaltenegger, a professor of astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences and director of Cornell’s Carl Sagan Institute, said that life might exist in different types of worlds, but what we know is that there is a world like ours who can support life. Thus, it makes sense to search for Earth-like planets.   So all this being said we found a race of aliens originating from the constellation of Sagittarius. These guys could have been the ones that sent the signal. You wanna know about them… Well we gonna tell you about them either way.    Bellatricians are one of many races stated by people to be an actual, existing species of extraterrestrial life. As such, they appear in alien conspiracy theories, most notably those expressed by Sheldan Nidle and his life partner, Colleen Marshall.    Bellatricians are stated as being a bipedal dinosaurian/reptilian hybrid with scaly, multicolored skin that seems to possess a sort of luminosity. These scales are similar in design to those of a crocodile and can be green, yellow, brown, or even red in coloration. With this in mind, green and yellow are the dominant scale colors. Overall, they are very scaly and bony. A large bony crest surrounds their upper head, while a small bony crest runs up the middle of the back and connects to the larger crest found on top of the head.   Their eyes are large and protruding, and can be either red or dull yellow in hue, resembling those of Earth's reptiles. They are set forward on the face just above and to either side of their very small nose. These eyes have been stated (by Colleen Marshall) as "conveying more warmth than I had ever thought possible".   Their mouth has thin lips that run from one side of the head to the other, presumably filled with razor-sharp teeth. Ears are tympanic in nature, like a frog's; the only sign of their existence is a circular patch of extra-smooth, 3 inch (7.62 centimeter) diameter area on either side of the head just behind the eyes.   Thin hands are attached to their arms, and are armed with six long, clawed fingers. The feet have five toes which end in small yet very sharp claws. While they do possess a tail, it is short, only extending to the feet, although it is thick like that of a crocodilian. They exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males being slightly shorter than females.   This reptilian creatures are notable for their great skills in leadership and diplomacy. They speak in a very coarse and guttural tone, their speech filled with deep growling and hissing noises. They require between 5 to 8 hours of sleep daily.   The Bellatricians migrated from the constellation of Sagittarius around 25 million years ago into the area surrounding the constellation of Orion. They are now found some 112.5 light years from Earth. For the past 6 million years, they were in charge of all the former Alliance forces for our sector of the Milky Way Galaxy. However they were finally accepted into the Galactic Federation far more recently, approximately 3 years ago.   Former members of the League of Orion, it is stated that the Bellatricians presented themselves as tyrannical overlords in the Milky Way galaxy for eons. During this time, they were the oppressive ruling class for the Draconian Empire. However, now they are attempting a transformation, and aspire to be accepted as trustworthy members of the galaxy. They are now a very curious and benevolent group that wish to connect with Earth and exchange perspectives on our shared history. They are also open to connecting with those who wish to have an experience during dreamtime. It is proposed that the more open and accepting that humanity can be, the more likely we are to attract an "otherworldly" experience.   The Bellatricians have expressed their sincere desire to make amends for the atrocities they have performed throughout the ages. They are trying their hardest to let go of their natural self-serving attitude and are learning to embrace the joy received when in service to others. They wish to have a gentle introduction to those who can open their hearts, and forgive them for what they represented in the past, and instead accept who they are today. They are very solemn and serious beings, and thereby do not grasp the concept of humor, especially that which is derived from the misfortune of others.    So what about their technology?   Here's what we know: Scout Craft: Look like dew drops and beetle, and can vary in length from 100-400 ft (30.5-122 meters). Mothership: Look like large tadpoles, and very enormously in length, from 1-400 miles (1.6-640 kilometers) across.   Could they be the source of the signal? Jon believes they are!   There we go passengers! A little bit more light-hearted and nerdy episode for you guys. With all of the alien talk around these days we figured this would be a fun episode to speculate upon! What do you guys think? Let us know.   Scariest space movies  https://variety.com/lists/10-best-space-horror-movies/

Auf Jerry Ehmans Notizen zu diesem schicksalsschweren Tag im Jahre 1977 prangt nur ein Wort: WOW. Nicht unbedingt, weil Ehman so begeistert war. Damit signalisierte er, dass er eine Frequenz empfangen hatte, die der Strahlung neutralen Wasserstoffs entsprach - er schrieb also entlang der “H-Eins-Linie” - und heraus kam das Wort WOW. Grund zur Begeisterung gab es allerdings trotzdem. Bis heute gilt das Signal als einer der besten Hinweise, die wir auf außerirdische Zivilisationen haben. Und neue Erkenntnisse stützen die Vermutungen von damals - aufgrund des Frequenzbereichs und der Länge des empfangenen Signals stehen natürliche, irdische oder kosmische Quellen außer Frage. Neue Theorien vergleichen das Signal mit der Ausstrahlung eines Lasers, welcher ein außerirdisches Raumschiff antreiben könnte. Ähnliche Technik wird gerade von uns Menschen getestet, um das Sternesystem Proxima Centauri anzupeilen. Ist das also die Antwort? Leider nur in Teilen. Denn es verbleiben offene Fragen - warum konnten präzisere Teleskope über mehrere Jahrzehnte kein ähnliches Signal einfangen? Können wir uns sicher sein über den Start- und Endpunkt? Wie es in der Forschung eben üblich ist, gibt man sich bis jetzt nicht mit der bloßen These zufrieden. Zu viele Lücken, zu wenig (Gegen-)Beweise.

Does that count?Jonathan: [00:00:07] That counts.Angela: [00:00:08] Wow, Angela. Good work. Introduction [00:00:12] You're listening to Fixing Faxes, a podcast on the journey of building a digital health startup with your host, myself, Angela Hapke and Jonathan Bowers.And today I'm excited to say that we have guest with us. Kirsty Ehman is joining us today. Good morning, KirstyKristy: [00:00:30] Good morning.Angela: [00:00:31] can you tell everyone just a little bit about you, where you're at right now. And then we're going to talk about how we met and we're going to go into a few other things around why we talk every week.Kristy: [00:00:43] Well, let's talk about how we met. We actually met at Meta Bridge a conference uh out of Kelowna last year. I think it was the 10th year anniversary when we met, patio overlooking the lake, gorgeous.Angela: [00:00:53] You spotted me from across theroom?Kristy: [00:00:56] It was love at first sight, one, one tall female founder, to another tall female founder where I don't feel like I'm overpowering the room and we connected.And that was it.Jonathan: [00:01:05] Are you also tall?Kristy: [00:01:07] Jonathan, are you tall or are you short? And this is intimidating.Jonathan: [00:01:11] I am a medium height. I'm five foot eight and three quartersKristy: [00:01:16] That actually countsJonathan: [00:01:17] yeah, the three quarters counts.Angela: [00:01:19] The three quarters count. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Kirsty, tell me, who, who are you? What are you doing?Hyon, Connecting Local Sellers with Local Item Owners [00:01:28] Kristy: [00:01:28] So my name is Kirsty Ehman, founded a tech company two years ago and we've pivoted the company one massive pivot. We believe there are two types of people in the world. You're either someone that would do the work to sell your used items, or you ultimately can't be bothered. And our technology connects those two groups.Angela: [00:01:45] Cool.Jonathan: [00:01:45] I like how concise thatwas.Angela: [00:01:47] she's been practicing.Jonathan: [00:01:49] She has rehearsedKristy: [00:01:51] No, I've just, I've said it a million times. It's my only thing. It's the only scripted thing in my life.Angela: [00:01:57] I honestly thought you were going to go into a 15 minute pitch there for one moment. I was like, Oh, and here we go. We are about to hear the Hyon pitch, everyone. I loved it. how'd you get started how long ago?Kristy: [00:02:10] a couple of years ago we had a, New baby and a three year old and they have a lot of stuff. And so we had been introduced to consignment events for kids. Thought it was magical, created our own developed software for our event realized we never want to run events. software could be interesting.Realize the software market for consignment events is not big enough to be interesting. So we pivoted the company to consignment. uncovered that there's these two groups of people. And so if you're someone that can't be bothered, you're pulling up to value village and ringing the doorbell or stuffing your stuff in the bins, in the corner of a, of a parking lot.Angela: [00:02:45] I am a stuff, your stuff in a bin.Kristy: [00:02:48] We call you Jordan. And if you're a, if you're someone who's super active on, on marketplaces, you're, you're on Facebook marketplace, Kijiji ,Craigslist, you brag about how much money you make on these platforms.And we call those people Alison. So our world revolves aroundJordan's and Alison's.Angela: [00:03:05] I love it. And your software connects Jordans to Alison's because Jordan's like myself do not want to be bothered with going on to Facebook marketplace and taking the time to list products and deals with people. I like humans. I don't like people. And, they connect to somebody like myself to, somebody, an Alison that really likes doing this kind of stuff really loves going on and selling stuff.And so your, your product, connects those two types of people. Where are you guys at right now? The product is built.Kristy: [00:03:44] Products built. So we're in a commercialized beta. Primarily in Saskatchewan, but we do find ourselves coast to coast. We're kind of sprinkled all over the place and we are starting our integration to, uh, into accepting payments from the States. So we'll be crossing borders in aAngela: [00:03:58] Ooh, we haven't talked about that yet. That's fun.Kristy: [00:04:02] this is my weekly update.Angela: [00:04:04] Everybody's tuning in now to the conversation that Kirsty and I have each week,Jonathan: [00:04:09] I'm excited to be along for the ride here a little bit and listen to listen to the conversation that you two are having, but I am curious, the, what you're describing is that sort of classic two sided market. how did you figure out how to put the chicken before the egg in this two sided market?Kristy: [00:04:26] As far as where we go first, like, who are we trying to attractJonathan: [00:04:28] Yeah. Like, how do you get these two sides together when you don't have enough of one to entice the otherKristy: [00:04:33] So, our focus has primarily been on Alison's. So how can we pull these people out of the weeds who are extremely proficient at selling online and by developing that network of Allison's, we can then start to attract Jordans. So as soon as someone requests a pickup and says, Hey, I have a snowboard.I needed some help selling, or I have a bunch of kid's stuff or I have some farm equipment. we can go into our Ellis network and say, okay, who can we match this Jordan with? So right now, a lot of those processes are still manual, but we're starting to develop algorithms to, to create an auto matching.And so we've been focused on Alison's, because there are far more Jordans in this world than there are Alison's.Angela: [00:05:10] Drawing similarities, JonathanJonathan: [00:05:12] it's interesting because like the Allisons in this case, they don't necessarily need the Jordans in order to be in the system,And, and is it, yeah, Jordan needs an Alison, but is it possible that the Allisons can scale a little bit across geographies?can they do the work without having to be in the same city as someone else?Kristy: [00:05:32] A hundred percent. And that was actually, an aha moment for us when COVID hit. And we had Allison's and Jordan saying, Hey, I don't want to meet anyone. I don't want to touch them. Someone else's stuff. How can we do this without actually meeting face to face? And then we started looking at that. So, yeah.you know, someone in Vancouver could be selling for someone in Toronto.Angela: [00:05:49] So about a year ago, Kirsty and I started these discussions. Well, we met, as she mentioned, Meta Bridge, and then quickly realized we were at a very similar place with both our technology and our products, but also our lives too. So as Kirsty mentioned, she has two small children who happened to be two lovely little girls.And I also have two small children who happened to be lovely little girls. And so it just made a lot of sense for Kirsty and I to be connected meeting each week to talk about not only where we were with the product and the struggles and the, the bumps that we were having along the way there, but also, balancing as and, just in the last podcast, we talked about that balance of, of work and life and how those lines can get.Blurry and how to create buffer and, and space and margin in our lives. And, part of that for me, is actually talking to Kirsty each week and talking about what she's going through, but I'm going through and how, and just bouncing ideas off of each other. yeah, Kristy, did you want to, do you want to expand onKristy: [00:06:55] Yeah, I think what was fascinating, because if you think about where we were at, when we met may or June last year, we both had an idea of the space we were in and how we were going to grow our companies at the time. And that was it at the time. I was working with three junior developers. Didn't have a senior dev, no CTO, frustrated out of my mind with trying to manage a tech company.And each week. So we come together and talk about our challenges and talk about struggles and our tech struggles with our team's struggles at home in life. And it would be like neck and neck. I'm experiencing this, we'd help each other. It also, I think helped both of us determine the types of companies we wanted to build because we went from being a small B2B.to pivoting into a consumer marketplace and finding, you know, finding a very strong technical cofounder. We're now a team of nine and how many times, like you've helped me fire people. If you've like talked me through how to dynamically change the way I'm growing my company. And so, it's been so interesting, although we're growing differently in different verticals, different ways we've come together and helped each other a lot.Yeah.Angela: [00:07:56] Yeah. And it was, it was wild too. We both launched our products within weeks. I think it was Kirsty of each other. Was it notKristy: [00:08:06] Well, yeah, you were trying to do it on the same day as me. I'm like get out of here.Yeah. This is my time. Angela. Get outta here.I made a comment about, what were we talking about? Our user focus group that we're doing shortly and, and you got all offended that we had more users, but then your users were, were doing something that ours weren't anyways, we're just competingAngela: [00:08:30] Oh, there was, we were going to do a tally of who won that week, which was your idea, by the way,Jonathan: [00:08:36] How do you, are you just tallying like achievements or milestonesor just, justsillyAngela: [00:08:41] that.Kristy: [00:08:42] Whatever you want. It's like, it's like three year olds playing a board game. We just make up the rules as weAngela: [00:08:46] yeah, definitely. Yeah, it was, you had launched your product and you had, you said, Oh Angela, like I have all these users on that are all of a sudden using it. I don't even know where they came from. They're just like on the platform and they're using it in blah, blah, blah. And I was like, Are you kidding me?Do you know what it takes for me to get a user on? And you're just like, Oh, mine are just, you know, joining and I don't even know who this is, not the way you talk, by the way. I don't even know why I'm giving you that voice. But yeah, you're just like talking about all these users that we're on. And I, yeah, I was a bit like I had a bit of, a user envy.of the things, I had it.Jonathan: [00:09:22] my goodness.Angela: [00:09:26] So then you, yeah, so then that's when we were talking about that. And I think my, when that week was personal, I think I'd have personal when and you were like, Oh, fine. Well look at you.Having Someone To Talk To [00:09:36]So, yeah. Back to like kind of timelines in the long run that line. What's another thing that has happened, which I thought was really funny was, Kirsty mentioned really early on in, in when she was describing Hyon about the manual processes.And, and you're still doing a little bit of manual processes and you're talking about, you know, setting in, you know, almost this matching algorithm, which is hilarious because that's exactly really what Clinnect does, is it matches referring providers, patient referrals, to specialists And so, yeah, I remember having this long conversation with you about I'm like, well, you can't do that manually.And we were just brainstorming around how you could also do something very similar, similar in your market that we were already doing in a very different industry, in a very different market. but these are the kinds of conversations that we have that we have each week.And I know for me and my own mental health, it has been incredible to have, another woman that is a, you know, a nontechnical founder with a family, building a product, doing the really, really hard work right now and putting in the hours and putting in the time and the energy, all the energy.And, just being able to almost share that with, with somebody else has, I know for me, has been made a huge difference.Kristy: [00:10:54] Yeah, totally. Totally. And I think it's interesting too. You have, you bring it, you bring a very different perspective. This is the third business that I've started. I've sold one and I'm never sold to government. I mean, sales and marketing to my core, not processes, not details, ideas. And so I, we get on a call and I tell you that I've landed a pilot project with the government of Saskatchewan.And you look like you're going to throw up. And it's like, Kristy, have you thought of the things? And I'm like, well, what things, what are you, what are you talking about? Why are you disgusted right now? And you just bring a totally different perspective and help me think through a way to position the conversation, a way to think of what a pilot project, a way to, to just have a different way of looking at my business, because this is an area that I am so in over my head and learning every day, I feel like I've earned five degrees in the last two years.And one of them has been from you.Angela: [00:11:48] Oh, wait. Heart is so warmed right now. Thank you. you bring, you bring a totally different lens than I do. Cause I remember the one day, Oh my gosh, you were like, well, Angela, like, are you going out? And you're talking to your customers, right? You're like, you're getting that feedback and you're talking to your customers and you always drill that into my head.And I was like, Hmm, no. Not that much.Kristy: [00:12:15] Yeah. I said the help me, help me do a script. And you're like, what are you scripting? Well, I'm calling, I'm calling these users and we've got to figure out what I need to know. Like, what are the things I need to know? How do you call your users? Um, I just email them. You email your, you. Yeah. Or they email me and give me feedback and I'mAngela: [00:12:31] It's so true.Kristy: [00:12:34] you don't talk to your users.Angela: [00:12:36] Who talks to your users? And I was like, I have some really great partners. But to do that hard work for me, but do we have that conversation? And I haven't told you this yet after we had that conversation, it resonated with me and you know, what I did the next day is I wrote thank you notes. And I put together, little gifts for our very first, the beta users that came on the ones that were like, we'll take a chance on you.And we'll. We'll be there with you when you launch your product. So we put together like these really lovely gift bags, and I hand wrote like a full note to them. And so just explaining how grateful I was that they were, I'm going to take a chance on, on our product with us. And, uh, but that was only because you prompted that idea.Kristy: [00:13:28] Contrary to that. You know what I did this last week, we have a user who, kind of has broken all the rules and asked for all the things that we're not building. So I finally told him that he's not an ideal user of ours.Angela: [00:13:40] Oh, you fired a userKristy: [00:13:42] yeah. And very kindly I said, um, Either, you know, in some ways you are ideal, a lot of feedback, a lot of suggestions you've helped kind of us think about our business in a different way.But, but you're, you're not the type of person we're looking to attract this. Isn't a, yeah. So you're right when you're writing. Thank you notes. And I'm firing users.Angela: [00:14:01] Maybe we're rubbing off on each other too much.How Do You Find Your Own Tech BFF? [00:14:06]Jonathan: [00:14:06] I remember now Angela, when you were, when you were thinking about going to Meta Bridge, you went there and I remember you came back and you said, Oh, it was so great.I met, I met my BFF. I have a crush on. Yeah, I think you used the word crush maybe. yeah, it was very sweet. And, but I, anyways, my, my question is like, that seems like this serendipitous connection that happened at this event that wa that is designed to do that. Like the one thing that Meta Bridge, I think to his credit is it tries to create these opportunities for people to meet in this way.So I think in that way it was a super successful yeah. Very successful experience for you. How do you think you can do that again, especially now in like H like that, like this, this story listened to you, listening to you to talk just, it just sounds amazing. And I'm a little bit jealous in some ways.how does someone do this again? Like how do you do this and now, right. To have to have someone to call up, how do you find that person?Kristy: [00:15:05] You know, I think I can even tell you how many times people have asked me how to network because in the, probably in the year. Yeah. And a half where we've really been a part of the Canadian tech ecosystem. I've punched above my weight on multiple occasions every week, almost every day, making connections, referring other people.And I think it has to be part of you. You have to be curious, you have to want it and genuinely have an interest for re for reaching out. When someone taps me on the shoulder and says, Hey, you know, are you mentoring people? Or can we grab a coffee? You know, in my heart, I want to do that, but I better know that this is, this is a two way relationship.Somehow I can help you. And at the end of the day, I'm either going to feel good about helping you or there's some reciprocation to that relationship. And especially now the busier, you get the more things on your agenda. it just has to make sense. And so I think if you're wanting to have an Angela Kirsty connection, It's it just has to be so genuine and you almost can't go out looking for it.It just has, you've got to, you've got to show up. You have to put yourself in positions where it can happen. and, and you've just genuinely, it needs to be, you both have to want it for the right reasons and those things that better match.Angela: [00:16:13] Do you think that we would have found this match? if we wouldn't have met in person though?Kristy: [00:16:17] No, I wouldn't have known how tall youAngela: [00:16:20] right. I wouldn't have known how tall you were that doesn't make a difference. Jonathan, he'slooking at us like thismakes a difference.Kristy: [00:16:28] Um, I feel like. Magic happens in person in ways that it can't happen on zoom. I'm super thankful for the connections that I've made and the new connections that COVID has allowed to happen. But there's something that happens when there's no timeline.We're sitting over drinks, we're out in a city that we've never been to, and we can just explore and learn together and you spend that two hours together and then you become lifelong friends from being in person. So I can't say that I've made a connection in a digital world where I feel like, Oh, If I go to, you know, next time I'm in Montreal, I'll totally look you up.That, that, that hasn't happened for me in the last few months. I think you can't replicate in person.Angela: [00:17:07] Yeah. So to answer yourJonathan: [00:17:09] wait it out.Angela: [00:17:10] we got to wait. IKristy: [00:17:13] No, put it, put him, put a mask on and get on a plane.Angela: [00:17:16] Get up, put a mask on, but it's true. yeah, I think that is the one thing that technology just absolutely cannot replicate is the in-person connections that, that do happen. And I think our whole world is suffering from that right now.And it's, it's pretty difficult. I don't, yeah, I don't think I could, I could have met Kirsty and other way.Jonathan asked another interesting question.Jonathan: [00:17:45] Oh my, uh, I had, I had one written down, but we've kind of moved past it. I was going to ask about your, user persona, your customer personas, but,move past that. Customer Personas [00:17:55]Kristy: [00:17:55] You know, there's something interesting. And let's talk about personas because we've had kind of a I'm I'm, I'm re refining our pitch deck right now. And I've had this moment of recognizing we have a government opportunity. We have some corporate opportunities and we are primarily a consumer company. And so you talk to investors right now and they're like, well, are you B to C?Are you B2B? Are you B to G. And Oh, well I'm B to B could be B to G and it all filters back to B to C. And if you're non-tech and listening to this, that sounds like alphabet soup, but that's how this world works. Google it. Yeah. So what I've recognized is that if you, if you know your persona so well, like we know our Jordan's and Allison's, by the way, everyone, in Saskatchewan knows who Jordan and Alison are, everyone knows.And. You can start to think about those personas as being more than just a person. And Alison can now become a ministry in government. A Jordan can become. some department within a corporation and you can start to think about what motivates that persona. What's curious to that persona, what do they really want?And so, rather than thinking of that as like a person and how am I going to get that person? You just get to know this problem so intensely, and it's less about. You know, are, do they have blonde hair? How old are they? And it's more about like, what's the core makeup of this department or this, this ideal user.and that's been a shift that we've gone through in the last couple of weeks and it'sAngela: [00:19:12] How are investors responding to that? When you, when you start talking about going after a B to B, B to C, B to G and they're like, OhKristy: [00:19:23] yeah,I here's my perception. one, I don't care because if I don't have enough time with them to actually have them understand what we're doing. they would perceive it as being, scattered and unfocused and not seeing the direct correlation. If I have more than five or 10 minutes to actually talk about all three, your opportunities, you can see how are any one of these avenues, filtered directly back into our core product.And if you can see that this government opportunity is essentially an Alison at scale at some massive scale, this becomes really interesting because now we're accessing hundreds of thousands of products. I'm filtering it back into a core product that can then service the needs of, of that user. So it doesn't matter that they're government, well, you know, it could change the sales cycle.but is it interesting for us to observe what's happening with those processes? You know, put some cash in the bank and help us learn more about, about our market. it's fascinating. And I think any investor that gets curious about why we're looking at these three options can see why we're starting with Jordans and Alisonss, but could also understand why I'm, why I'm spending some time dabbling in other opportunities.Angela: [00:20:24] Kirsty just for everyone, that's going to be listening to this. They're going to go, what is this government opportunity? And they're probably going to be trying to put this into their, in, you know, and understand this in their head. So talk a little bit about how this came up and, what, what the problem is with, with, uh, government and use goods.Kristy: [00:20:44] So innovation Saskatchewan, had a few years ago, started this thing called MIST Made In Saskatchewan Technology, where they make it easier for tech companies in Saskatchewan to pitch to government and enter into these projects. And so we go into conversation with them one day and, and, you know, what happens with government used assets?How are they. Sold, how are they recirculated and recognize there's a huge opportunity to provide more transparency. So whether it's staffed or donations that shouldn't be happening, or it's an archaic, you know, auction system of ridding of them, you've got things selling for a dollar that probably should have sold for 200.You have things selling for 5,000 that should have sold for 20,000. and so it, there were just all these things that have changed over the last 15, 20 years and the tech doesn't reflect, um, you know, what the government should be considering today. So we pitched amongst other others, Saskatchewan and tech companies, didn't realize it was a competition style we won.and so it's a bit of cash, but it's also a guaranteed pilot with the government. So, um, central services picks it up and says, Hey, we want to work with Hyon for six months. figure out what they do, what their technology can do and how can that apply to the current needs of government and what can we do in six months?And then hopefully if that six months is deemed successful, what would it look like to be working together beyond that? so that's what we're doing and it's worth noting. Central services is a massive Alison uh, every other government ministry isits ownAngela: [00:22:05] I was just going to say, because typically they're Jordans where they just want to get rid of something and it's on some likely, a middle manager somewhere to just get rid of stuff. And who's to say, he's not he or she, or they are not just giving it to their friends to go sell and make money on it or, or something like that.There's very little accountability. especially if you have a Jordan type, Organization. So it's a cool, it's a cool problem. A problem that even us as taxpayers are probably not aware of and things like that, that you guys are solving, which we're going to be attempting to solve, which is why I wanted to outline that because I think it's so interesting.Kristy: [00:22:43] um, it's not just a government problem. You have offices across North America right now that are, are closing up their office. And having employees work from home, companies, renovating companies, liquidating assets. So you look at surplus.It's not just a government thing. I think this is, this can be applied to, um, to large business, small business, you know, Jordan's and Allison's are everywhere.Raising External Capital [00:23:03] Angela: [00:23:03] Yup. You're right. Uh, so, the, the other thing I'm going to touch on is in a previous episode, we talked about how, us at Central Referral Solutions and specifically, obviously your product Clinnect, we decided. That we were going to bootstrap. We decided that that was the way forward for us. We wanted to, keep the company within our hands.And, we also realized that, institutional investors probably wouldn't be as interested in a company like ours with a smaller addressable market than yours. You guys have chosen to go a different way. Do you want to talk a little bit about where you're at with that? And, maybe a bit about the journey that got you there too.Kristy: [00:23:48] Yeah, sure. Um, I did listen to your previous podcast about bootstrapping and I think you referenced me towards the end of it. You were like, this is the way I've gone, but here's a friend who spent a lot of time. I'm going the other way.Yeah. Oh, a hundred percent to two years ago, almost to the day when we started in tech, I think I thought, why would anyone raise money?Um, and keep in mind, like I've had previous businesses, you don't spend money unless you can afford to spend it. If I have a project that would make me the money back, or maybe I'd lose a little bit, but I could see that this is a valuable asset. I might invest in the asset, but I'm not going to go into thousands of dollars of debt or share my company just because I don't have the users yet.So the idea of fundraising, when I got in, it was ridiculous. I thought it made no sense. Then you get to a point of realizing, Hey, if I have this vision and this vision is greater than what I'm capable of doing on my own with my own resources, you know, how can I make this happen in less than 30 years, really?And we've been super scrappy. you know, being in the consignment world, I'm frugal by nature. And that, that carries through to everything we do in business. We've accessed hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding. so we're, we're nine employees, but are heavily funded myself and my co founder Blair, who was on the ground level of Skip The Dishes.we've, we've bootstrapped the company. We've taken one angel cheque a few months ago, and we're just now at the point of saying, okay, we completely understand what it is that we're doing. And now we can see the team that we need to build and we can, we can see around the corners and this go to market strategy that we can implement.And the reality is, you know, even if we've all sold our houses and eat macaroni for two years, we still probably wouldn't be able to do it with just the two of us. And so that for us, this is the time to rally a community that can support us and can get excited about what we're doing.Angela: [00:25:31] I think it's what I we've had long conversations about this. And I think, um, your approach to this is incredibly well thought out. And, I completely agree with where you guys are at and where you're going. and it's been kind of, it's been kind of fun because. For me, I know that I'm not going to go after institutional money, but I get to live a little bit vicariously through you and your stories around it too, which is it, which is kind of fun for me.And, and I get to learn, you know, shoulder to shoulder, with you each week, just hearing about it and things like that, which has been amazing for me too. So that's exciting. Pitching Hyon [00:26:07] So it sounds like you're at the point point right now where you've decided that, you know, institutional money is the next way to go, that, that's going to propel your company forward. And, before we wrap up, I think it would be great to hear.That little bit of a pitch, from you and your company about who you are and, a little, a little bit more about where you guys are going.Kristy: [00:26:34] Yeah, for sure. I'm well, you should've told me this was coming all right off the cuff, the, the re the recall. So I had a mentor out of the States in Atlanta. Uh, he sends me this article the other day, and the article is about how the re commerce industry is a $52 billion North American industry.And I read this and I'm like, what's the recommerce industry. Oh, That's the space that we're in. That's interesting. And. And I read this article and it's fascinating to me because you look at the other players in the space. So you could look at Hyon and say, okay, well, are they competing with Facebook marketplace and the real, real threat up in Poshmark and Let Go.And. And Kijiji, what's fascinating about the work that we're doing is ultimately we will be a platform company. And so think of us as sort of the Shopify for consignment, where we have this, this valuable user interface in a way of, of, connecting users and really furthering, what's happening already in the industry and making it more efficient for people to use it.And so, yeah. We were, we found this space in, in the recommerce industry of being able to provide value, get more items onto existing marketplaces, make it easier to keep items out of landfills. And so the types of, users that are interested in our platform, it's everything from, Hey, we're green. And we want to keep items in circulation to, Hey, I'm cheaper or hey I'm frugal, and I actually need to go this route, or I want to make some money.And it's sort of a gig economy. and, and talking to investors, they'd have similar motivations. It's either I'm really interested in how Hyon can see around corners and can see this as a massive opportunity in enabling this economy to exist and to kind of drag it into, where we should be in this industry, which is more efficient, less gray area.And for corporations and for governments, you know, we're, we're competing with systems and Excel and pen and paper almost doesn't happen nowadays. And so, you know, the, the pitch, depending on who we're talking to is just, you know, if you're excited about the kinds of things that we're excited about, there's alignment.And so, yeah. Thank you for the you guys for the opportunity to talk about it. This has been fun and my very first podcast and I find it so awkward that it's a voice thing and not a video thing, because if. People listening can see the actions. They'd seeAngela: [00:28:39] her. That's awesome. I'm so, so excited for you guys and the journey that you're on, because I think the opportunity as you just mentioned is absolutely immense and, it's just been so much funwith you. So yay.Jonathan: [00:28:57] Yeah. Thanks. Thanks for being onKristy: [00:29:00] Jonathan, um, send me a note to your camera, please. I don't care how much work it is. I'll figure it out. I needthat. I need to look like that on zoom calls. Outro [00:29:08]Jonathan: [00:29:08] thanks for listening to Fixing Faxes, building a digital health startup.I'm Jonathan Bowers, my cohost is Angela Hapke and our guest today was Kirsty Ehman.

It has a 24.5-hour day, polar ice caps that expand and contract with the seasons, and a large array of surface features that were sculpted by water during the planet's history. The detection of a lake beneath the southern polar ice cap and methane in the Martian atmosphere (which varies with the seasons and even the time of day) make Mars a very interesting candidate for life. Methane is significant as it can be produced by biological processes. But the actual source for the methane on Mars is not yet known. Europa Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610, along with Jupiter's three other larger moons. It is slightly smaller than Earth's moon and orbits the gas giant at a distance of some 670,000 km (420,000 miles) once every 3.5 days. Europa is constantly squeezed and stretched by the competing gravitational fields of Jupiter and the other Galilean moons, a process known as tidal flexing. The moon is believed to be a geologically active world, like the Earth, because the strong tidal flexing heats its rocky, metallic interior and keeps it partially molten. The surface of Europa is a vast expanse of water ice. Many scientists think that beneath the frozen surface is a layer of liquid water – a global ocean – which is prevented from freezing by the heat from flexing and which maybe over 60 miles (100 km) deep. Enceladus Like Europa, Enceladus is an ice-covered moon with a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Enceladus orbits Saturn and first came to the attention of scientists as a potentially habitable world following the surprise discovery of enormous geysers near the moon's south pole. These jets of water escape from large cracks on the surface and, given Enceladus' weak gravitational field, spray out into space. They are clear evidence of an underground store of liquid water. Titan Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the only moon in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere. It contains a thick orange haze of complex organic molecules and a methane weather system in place of water, complete with seasonal rains, dry periods and surface sand dunes created by wind. The atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen, an important chemical element used in the construction of proteins in all known forms of life. Radar observations have detected the presence of rivers and lakes of liquid methane and ethane and possibly the presence of cryovolcanoes, volcano-like features that erupt liquid water rather than lava. This suggests that Titan, like Europa and Enceladus, has a subsurface reserve of liquid water. At such an enormous distance from the sun, the surface temperatures on Titan are a frigid -292 degrees F (-180 degrees C), way too cold for liquid water. However, the bountiful chemicals available on Titan have raised speculation that lifeforms – potentially with fundamentally different chemistry from terrestrial organisms – could exist there. Fringe Conspiracy Theorists Think Trump Is an Immortal Alien, Got COVID as Cover to Shapeshift Link: https://www.vice.com/en/article/akzxae/fringe-conspiracy-theorists-think-trump-is-an-immortal-alien-got-covid-as-cover-to-shapeshift “Earthlings, prepare to be attacked…” tweeted Richard Van Steenberg in response to the recent news that Donald Trump contracted COVID-19. Steenberg, like many others who believe nefarious aliens are visiting our planet, is concerned that Trump's recent illness is a sign of the coming alien apocalypse. Conspiracy theorists on the extreme fringe also suspect that Trump—who they believe might be an immortal alien—might have contracted coronavirus in an attempt to shed his mortal flesh and shapeshift into something else. Steenberg started an online petition three years ago called “Disclose: Humanoid Extra Terrestrials Live Among Us.” His website highlights the bulk of his theories and with nearly 30,000 Twitter followers and over 10,000 signatures on his petition, Steenberg is confident he knows the truth. He is a purveyor of bizarre conspiracies that are largely divorced from anything happening in the observable universe. While he has a following among conspiracy theorists, his beliefs are fringe even for that space. He believes that these extraterrestrials are engaged in a plan to subvert humanity and take control via psychological manipulation. Trump, according to Steenberg, is most likely in on the plan. “The plan has been in action since they put us on the planet as cavemen,” he said. “I would say Trump is either a HET [human alien hybrid] or CEA [a human complicit in the alien plot] in that he has known what is going on certainly for the better part of his public life on EArth and would have known early on he would be President,” Steenberg explained. “If he's an HET [human alien hybrid], it's very probable he existed before EArth and took part in the design of the ETA [the plot to invade].” UFO sighting: Claims 'silver orb' spotted over New Hampshire - ‘100% alien' Link: https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1344032/ufo-sighting-silver-orb-video-canterbury-new-hampshire-alien Some alien life conspiracy theorists suggest a UFO has been captured in footage purportedly filmed on October 1 in Canterbury, New Hampshire. The amateur video apparently shows a shows an odd anomaly sandwiched between two clouds. The object in question is similarly cloud-coloured and vaguely spherical in shape. This has led UFO hunters such as Scott Waring to speculate about its provenance. Mr Waring wrote on his UFO Sightings blog: “The eyewitness was driving through Canterbury when he noticed a silver orb near the clouds. “He tried his best to record it, but keeping an eye on the road was clearly more important. “Lucky for us, he also kept an eye and camera on the UFO. “The object is round and does seem to be deliberately flying near the clouds. “It may have been hiding within one of them and decided to move to a new cloud. “At the end of the video is a close up in slow motion. This is 100 percent alien in origin.” Mr Waring also provides a short statement from whom he claims is the original eyewitness. They are quoted as saying: “Silver sphere in clouds moves slowly while shape shifting until it blasts away from me. “Sun reflecting off it while it appears to be struggling to launch off. “You can see it clearly in the video even though it is small. The Wow! Signal: An alien missed connection? Did humanity's first contact with aliens already happen back in 1977? Probably not, but we may never know for sure. Link: https://astronomy.com/news/2020/09/the-wow-signal-an-alien-missed-connection On August 15, 1977, the Big Ear Radio Telescope in Delaware, Ohio, received the most powerful signal it would ever detect during its decades of observations. The signal lasted just 72 seconds, but when an astronomer spotted it on a computer printout days later, he was so impressed that he quickly scrawled “Wow!” in red pen across the page. The data looked much like what SETI astronomers expected to see from an alien intelligence. However, despite many attempts to follow up on the find, the so-called “Wow! Signal” has never reappeared. “Was that E.T. or was it not E.T.? Nobody knows,” Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, tells Astronomy. “Nobody has ever found another explanation for what that might have been. It's like you hear chains rattling in your attic and you think ‘My god ghosts are real.' But then you never hear them again, so what do you think?” Most importantly, Shostak says that if the signal wouldn't have had Wow! written across it, no one would've ever heard of it. One-off signals like this were common back in the early days of SETI, when observatory computers were too primitive to notify astronomers of discoveries in real time, or perform rapid-fire follow-ups. To Jerry Ehman, reviewing large printouts of data every few days was a routine part of being a volunteer. And on August 17, 1977, as he looked through the latest stack of papers, he spotted a set of numbers and letters: 6EQUJ5. To the untrained eye, it looks like nonsense. But to Ehman, the data meant that Big Ear had picked up a very strong signal that started out low, increased in strength, and then dropped off again. That meant the signal was likely picked up as one particular region of sky passed over the detector. It wasn't earthly. The signal also only appeared in one of 50 possible channels. “It was a narrowband signal, just what we were looking for [with SETI],” Ehman said. “It didn't take long for me to recognize that this was extremely interesting. And the word ‘Wow!' came to my mind very quickly, so I wrote it down.” Wow! Signal follow-ups Over the years, many other astronomers have followed-up on the Wow! Signal, either trying to explain it away or relocate it. But to astronomers like Shostak, the signal is really just one of many similar detections made over the years. “In those days, it was very common to pick up these kinds of signals just one time,” Shostak says. “Computers didn't have the power to do real time follow-ups. If you picked it up today, the comp would say ‘Wow!,' and astronomers would start nodding the telescope in the direction of the Wow! Signal to try to figure out what it was.” Once observatory computers became sophisticated enough for real-time follow-ups, the number of mystery signals dropped. “The aliens knew we had better equipment,” Shostak jokingly says.
