The week focusing on the USA National Parks can be a great reason to get the planning and excitement around visiting parks all year long regardless if solo or sharing with others. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or a first-time visitor, here are five ways to enhance your National Park experience and make lasting memories.   5 Ways to Make the Most of A Park Visit Discover Hidden Gems: Every National Park is filled with hidden treasures waiting to be uncovered. Before your visit, take some time to research the park you'll be exploring. Look for lesser-known trails, scenic viewpoints, or unique activities that will make your experience unforgettable. Whether it's a secluded waterfall, a historic landmark, or a rare species of wildlife, there's always something new to discover in our National Parks. Volunteer or Practice Conservation: Give back to the parks that give us so much by volunteering your time and energy. Many National Parks offer volunteer opportunities for individuals or groups looking to make a difference. Whether you're helping with trail maintenance, participating in a beach cleanup, or assisting with wildlife monitoring, your efforts will contribute to the preservation of these precious landscapes for future generations to enjoy. Embrace Innovation and History: National Parks are not only showcases of natural beauty but also repositories of history and innovation. Take some time to learn about the innovative projects that were undertaken when the park was established and how they have shaped the landscape we see today. From the construction of iconic landmarks to the implementation of sustainable practices, these stories of innovation will deepen your appreciation for these incredible places. Engage the Next Generation: Inspire a love of nature and conservation in the next generation by involving youth in your National Park adventures. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or mentor, create an action plan to engage young people in learning about the importance of preserving our natural heritage. Plan activities like nature hikes, wildlife spotting, or educational programs to help them connect with the outdoors and become stewards of the land. Capture Memories Through Art: National Parks have long been a source of inspiration for artists of all kinds. Take advantage of this creative muse by honing your artistic skills during your visit. Whether you're a painter, photographer, or poet, let the beauty of the park inspire your work. Experiment with different mediums, from watercolors to digital photography, and capture the essence of the landscape in your own unique way. Just remember to respect wildlife and keep a safe distance, especially during sensitive times like mating season. By embracing these tips, you can make the most of National Park Week and create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime whenever visiting a park or historical location on your next adventure. So pack your bags, lace up your hiking boots, and get ready to explore the wonders of America's National Parks!   REVOLUTIONISING AGRICULTURE: The Journey from Corn Fields to Mars The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Groundbreaking Initiative   Revolutionizing Agriculture with this groundbreaking initiative at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is aiming to cultivate the "first acre of corn on Mars' soil." Discover how insights from growing food in space could revolutionize Earthbound farming techniques, shaping the future of agriculture.

In Barry pupils from Oak Field Primary School show Delyth around Merthyr Dyfan church and share why they love this small sanctuary situated in the middle of residential housing estates.

In this our fourth episode dedicated to the maritime history of Wales, Eirwen Abberley Watton finds out about the work of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales who research and record Wales' history from the tip of Snowdon to the depths of the Welsh coastline. Today we discuss their collaboration with the Lloyds Register Foundation in their hunt for Welsh shipwrecks.There are many processes involved in the discovery and collection of maritime history, which has been revolutionised thanks to the advancement of technology and the unending curiosity of the Welsh public – many old wrecks are still appearing due to constantly changing tides, and being discovered by surprised dog walkers. Lloyd's Register's records are crucial in filling in the gaps when unearthing a ship's story and matching new finds to existing knowledge.Eirwen speaks with Dr Julian Whitewright, the Senior Maritime Investigator at the Royal Commission for the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales. Julian is responsible for overseeing the maritime archaeological parts of the National Monuments Record within Wales, as well as advising on marine planning for offshore development. Julian joined the Royal Commission in June 2021 having previously worked in the Centre for Maritime Archaeology at the University of Southampton. His archaeological interests cover all boats and ships from the earliest remains to the 20th century but he has a particular love of small craft and is a keen sailor and rower. He lives in Pembrokeshire, a short distance from the sea. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A lot of people asked the question, "why?" when I mentioned I was visiting the Ukraine. My answer was a prompt "why not?" It became independent from Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. There of course is plenty of influence in the city from the Soviet days.As I was in Moscow during the final week of the Soviet Union's existence, I was amazed at the architecture in the city and I thought Kiev might be just as dramatic. I was not disappointed.There was a language barrier of course, but it mattered not. I walked 6 miles a day to see some of the wonderful buildings, with a map and iPhone GPS in hand.There was a little edginess in the city at the time due to political issues, but I did not let that worry me, in spite of a large protest with armed police and military present on my final day.I stayed adjacent to Independence Square, an important part of the city.The National Opera House, St. Sophia's Cathedral, St. Elijah Church, Kiev Founders Statue, The Great Lavra Bell House, Vydubychi Monastery, St. Pantheleimon Nunnery, The Cathedral of St. Pantaleon are just a few of the sites to see, but St. Michaels Monastery was the standout for me.All in all, I am so happy I made the trip.The adventure continues and so does the learning experience.

For the past year, Chapel HIll Public Library has been taking a deep dive into local history, uncovering untold stories and telling them from “the bottom up and the inside out.” These stories are the basis of the Library’s new podcast, Re/Collecting Chapel Hill. The first season of Re/Collecting Chapel Hill focuses on the community’s history and connections with historical monuments and markers. Listeners will hear archival audio mixed with present-day interviews that illuminate the history behind some of the most iconic--and occasionally controversial--monuments and markers in Chapel Hill. The first season is co-hosted by Molly Luby, Special Projects Coordinator at Chapel Hill Public Library, and Danita Mason-Hogans, Chapel Hill Community Historian and member of the Town Council’s Historic Civil Rights Commemorations Task Force. Each episode will feature community voices from both the past and present, and invites listeners to consider how these voices can help us envision a better future.

We called up friend of the show Kendalyn Aldridge (@kenniishere) to chat about her recent modelling gigs, the difference between museums and monuments, centaur medicine, and the passing of the seasons!

From a statue honoring police to a tribute to Confederate prisoners, these monuments have raised debate over how history is represented.

Monuments are erected around the world to memorialize people, events, and philosophies. But, just as monuments go up, some monuments come down. Does society hold the subjects of monuments to a higher standard or are monuments societies way of fantasizing the past? Some monuments are harshly judged while other are …

It's official, the world's longest echo can be heard at an oil storage complex at Inchindown, near Invergordon in Scotland.  Hear it by hitting the play button above. The 1970 Guinness Book of Records holds the last claim for the longest echo. When the solid-bronze doors of the Hamilton Mausoleum in Scotland slammed shut, it took 15 seconds for the sound to die away to silence. The Inchindown echo is a full minute longer. Professor Trevor Cox of Salford University discovered the Inchdown echo while working with Allan Kilpatrick, an archaeological investigator for the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Allan fired a pistol loaded with blanks about a third of the way into the storage tank, and Trevor recorded the response picked up by the microphones about a third of the way from the far end - a standard technique used in concert hall acoustics.  At 125 Hertz, a frequency typically made by a tuba, the reverberation time was 112 seconds. Even at the mid-frequencies important for speech, the reverberation time was 30 seconds. The broadband reverberation time which considers all frequencies simultaneously was 75 seconds. They had discovered the world’s most reverberant space   All of this was just part of Trevor's research on his new book, Sonic Wonderland: A Scientific Odyssey of Sound, published by Vintage Digital, part of the Random House Group.  It is an exciting journey for anyone who delights in audio treats, and a passionate plea for a deeper appreciation of, and respect for, our shared sonic landscapes.       Some of the other sounds can be heard here: Sonic Wonderland – The Great Stalacpipe Organ Sonic Wonderland – Bearded Seals Sonic Wonderland – Burping Sand Dune Sonic Wonderland – Kielder Forest, most tranquil place in England Sonic Wonderland – High-Tide Organ Sonic Wonderland – Musical Road And as a footnote on that echo - here are some typical reverberation times at mid-frequency: ·         Living room: 0.4 seconds ·         Opera house: 1.2 seconds ·         Concert hall for classical music: 2 seconds ·         St. Paul’s Cathedral: 9.2 seconds

The Digital Oblivion. Substanz und Ethik in der Konservierung digitaler Medienkunst | Symposium Do, 04.11.2010 – Fr, 05.11.2010 Der Vortrag resümiert die aktuelle Theoriediskussion in der Denkmalpflege (Bild versus Substanz, Schauwert versus historischer Wert, Identität und Alterität) und reflektiert insbesondere die Denkmalbewertungen immanenten Geschichtsbilder. Mit Bezug auf die Diskrepanz zwischen einem tendenziell unbegrenzten Denkmalbegriff und einer auf klassische Monumente fokussierenden Denkmalpflegepraxis werden sodann die gegenwärtigen Optionen einer Bewahrung auch des immateriellen und geistigen Erbes diskutiert. Ingrid Scheurmann ist seit 2008 Vertretungsprofessorin für Denkmalkunde und angewandte Bauforschung an der Technischen Universität Dresden, Koordinatorin des Masterstudiengangs Denkmalpflege und Stadtentwicklung und Leiterin der Denkmalvermittlung bei der Deutschen Stiftung Denkmalschutz. /// This paper will summarise the current theoretical discussions in heritage science (image vs. substance, aesthetic value vs. historical value; identity and alterity) and will reflect in particular on the discipline's evaluation (Denkmalbewertung) of immanent conceptions of history. With reference to the discrepancy between an increasingly boundless definition of the historical monument and a practice which focusses on classical monuments the current options for the preservation of immaterial and intellectual heritage will be discussed. Ingrid Scheurmann has been stand-in professor for Heritage Science and Applied Historical Building research at Dresden University of Technologyand coordinator of the master degree programme Preservation of Historical Monuments and Urban Development, director of Heritage Education at the Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz.

In this conversation, JT and his co-host Brian delve into various topics ranging from the recent TikTok ban and its implications, to the influence of propaganda in shaping perceptions about China. They discuss the role of media and the deep state in American politics, explore the significance of historical monuments and obelisks, and theorize about the hidden history of America, including the purpose of star forts and their potential connections to angelic symbolism. The conversation is rich with insights and theories that challenge mainstream narratives. In this conversation, the speakers explore the intersections of science and magic, the influence of powerful figures in politics, and the implications of AI in medicine. They critique current political leadership and discuss the role of vaccines in public health. The conversation also revisits historical narratives, particularly around World War II, and reflects on theological implications of current events.Chapters00:00 Zuckerberg's Influence and Propaganda Agendas02:56 Cultural Perceptions of China and Propaganda05:44 CIA Influence in Media and Government08:51 Deep State and Political Manipulation11:57 Historical Monuments and Their Significance14:56 Obelisks and Their Mysterious Energy17:34 Spiritual Symbolism in Architecture20:51 Trump's Inauguration and Oath Controversies23:49 Kennedy, Israel, and Political Intrigue31:10 Introduction and TikTok Ban Discussion34:14 The Complex Web of Historical Connections37:02 Hidden Structures and Megalithic Mysteries40:52 Uncovering America's Buried History43:58 The Enigma of Underground Architecture50:37 Theories on Air Travel and Ancient Technology01:02:07 Star Forts: Angelic or Demonic?01:07:04 The Intersection of Science and Magic01:09:00 The Role of Elites in Society01:11:45 The Influence of Tech Billionaires01:17:04 AI and Surveillance in Modern Governance01:19:52 The Dangers of AI in Healthcare01:30:32 Pardons and Political Accountability01:42:15 The Reaction to the Attack01:43:01 Exploring Historical Perspectives01:44:05 Understanding Hitler's Ideology01:46:00 Cultural Differences and National Identity01:49:05 The Nature of Evil and Atrocities01:51:55 The Complexity of Historical Narratives01:55:04 Media Manipulation and Historical Revisionism02:00:05 Christianity and the End Times02:02:05 The Legacy of World War II02:05:03 The Role of Hollywood in Shaping Narratives02:08:54 Concluding Thoughts and ReflectionsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jt-follows-jc/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
