A 900-mile-wide, two-toned walnut orbits the planet Saturn. It’s Saturn’s third-largest moon, and definitely the most eye-catching. One hemisphere is as dark as coal, while the other is as bright as sea ice. And a mountain ridge wraps around the equator, making it look like a walnut. Iapetus was discovered in 1671. And right away, astronomers realized there was something odd about it. It was easy to see when it was on one side of Saturn, but invisible on the other. Today, we know why that’s the case: the planet’s leading hemisphere is 10 to 20 times brighter than the trailing hemisphere. The leading idea says that long ago, the darker side was pelted by dust and rocks blasted off some smaller moons. The darker material trapped the Sun’s heat, vaporizing ices. The vapor drifted to the other side, where it froze, making that side bright. And that process continues today – making Iapetus the “yin and yang” of moons. The ridge around the equator is about six miles high. It might have formed long ago when Iapetus rotated much faster than it does today. Or it might be the remains of a ring that collapsed onto the surface – making Iapetus look like a walnut. Saturn appears quite close to our own Moon at dawn tomorrow. It looks like a bright star to the lower left of the Moon. The much-brighter planet Venus is farther to the lower left. More about this morning lineup tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Phoebe, Saturn's largest irregular moon, was discovered in 1899. Orbiting in the opposite direction of Saturn's rotation, Phoebe is believed to be a captured icy body from the Kuiper Belt. Cassini's 2004 flyby revealed its dark surface and icy layers. Phoebe also contributes to Saturn's Phoebe Ring and Iapetus' two-tone appearance.

Iapetus is one of Saturn's most intriguing moons, known for its striking two-tone appearance, with one hemisphere dark and the other bright. It has a highly inclined and slightly eccentric orbit, making it stand out among Saturn's moons. It also features a unique equatorial ridge, giving it the appearance of a walnut.

Nothing Sharp about the "Ice Cider Queen" Eleanor Léger is affectionately dubbed the Ice Cider Queen by many followers, most notably this podcast. She founded Eden Specialty Cider in 2007, the year of the first harvest of apples for producing Ice Cider at Eden. The act of freezing apple juice outdoors during the coldest days and nights of the winter to extract the water and then ferment the pure juice into what is known as Ice Cider is not new to Canadian makers just over the border from Eden's Newport Vermont headquarters. What is unique however is how Eden marketed and refined the technique to showcase to this delectable aperitif/digestif to a wider audience. Eleanor Léger Many awards later, a White House serving, and a reputation for some of the best Ice Cider in the world is now par for the course for the Queen and her growing realm.  In 2023 Eden is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary and has broadening the business, based in the northeast kingdom of Vermont, to include to two additional brands, Shelburne Vineyard and Iapetus (a natural wine brand). In addition to her role as President and CEO of Eden Specialty Ciders, Eleanor is the Board President for the American Cider Association (ACA). This will be her last year in this role, when a new President is elected in 2024. In total she will have served 3 years in this position and discusses her goal during that time of making the Association accessible to makers who produce less than 25,000 gallons per year .

Craig joins us to discuss dedication, luck and success.

If humanity is to become a multi-planetary species, we can't forever remain dependent on Earth's resources. That's where space resource extraction comes in. So how would space mining work, what problems would it solve, and how long will we have to wait? To answer those questions, I'm joined in this episode by Kevin Cannon. Kevin is a professor of space resources and geology and geological engineering at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. He's also author of the Planetary Intelligence newsletter on Substack.In This Episode* How mining in space could benefit Earth (1:13)* The basic economics of space mining (3:56)* Space resources and multi-planetary civilization (9:32)* Public and private sector space exploitation (14:00)* The next steps for space resource extraction (17:56)* The criticisms and hurdles facing space mining (26:15)Below is an edited transcript of our conversation.How mining in space could benefit EarthJames Pethokoukis: You've written that building a space-based civilization is all about raw materials. Given your academic specialty, these are raw materials out there, not down here. But if I am not interested in building a space-based civilization, do I care what's out there, what materials, what elements I can find out there?Kevin Cannon: Let me give you two examples of how this could kind of come back to Earth. One is something that's being talked about increasingly lately, and that's this idea of space-based solar power. We want to undergo this energy transition, switch to renewables. Solar power, the issue there is the scaling and the land that's available. You only have so much land that you can put up more solar panels on. So if we wanted to have a truly energy-abundant future, one way to do that is to actually put up structures, satellites, in orbit that collect solar power and beam it back to the Earth via microwaves. And it turns out the only way to really make this economic is to actually make those structures out of raw materials that are found in space, either from the Moon or from asteroids. If you try to launch everything that you need, it's just too expensive. It's too difficult. So that's one example.A second example related to that, there's obviously a lot of talk about climate in general, and there's still this idea out there that we can get through this climate issue by just reducing emissions. I think at a higher level, the discussions out there are that that's not going to be enough, that we're not drawing down those emissions fast enough, and that we may need to use different geoengineering techniques. There are different ways to do that. You can inject stuff into the atmosphere. You can put stuff into the ocean. Those are a little bit problematic politically. One alternative is to actually just block out a small fraction of the sun's radiation with something called a planetary sun shade. You put up a structure in space at the L-1, the Lagrangian point between the sun and the Earth, and that structure blocks out, say, 1 to 2 percent of the sunlight and cools the planet and helps as a mitigation effort. And again, that structure is so large that we could not possibly launch that into the space. We would have to build that out of materials that we find. So even if you don't want to leave the Earth, you're happy here, you still have problems on Earth. And there are solutions to those that could potentially be found by using raw material on the Moon or on asteroids.The basic economics of space miningYou're saying that even with the decline we've seen in launch costs in recent years, and even assuming some continued progress, it would be more affordable to build these two examples with the regolith — or the surface dirt from the Moon or Mars or from some other place, some asteroid — than just getting it out into space with a rocket, even if it's a rocket that goes up pretty cheaply compared to the rockets of the past.The thing you have to understand is that as those launch costs come down, it also becomes cheaper to put the factory on the Moon that makes the components, that assembles the structure in space. And it's also the case that we wouldn't build 100 percent of the structure. You would still be launching the intricate parts, the dopants for your solar panels, the wiring, things like that. It's kind of the bulk structure that we would make, what we call the “dumb mass” as opposed to the “smart mass.” But yes, as the launch costs come down, it's easier to put things in orbit, but it's also easier to put construction material and assembly material to do this kind of space-based construction effort.That's always the big concern: trying to make the economics work. I find that people aren't fully aware of what possibilities have been opened up because it's gotten a lot cheaper to launch rockets into space. And hopefully it will get a bit cheaper still.We're anticipating right now in the months ahead, the first orbital launch of the SpaceX Starship. SpaceX has brought the launch costs down dramatically just with the Falcon 9, through reuse, through the Falcon Heavy. But the possibility for Starship is really a step function. It's not just a continuation of that smooth decline, but really a potential leap in our ability to put massive amounts of stuff into space. If that design is proved out, then hopefully other competitors will start to copy that and improve on it and we'll see an even more dramatic reduction.People have a hard time understanding the economics of going and mining an asteroid to bring back to build things on Earth. Would that be economical versus using that material to build things out in space?There's only a very narrow case you could make for a certain class of materials. And specifically, that would be things like the platinum-group metals. Those meet a number of criteria: They're very expensive — for example, the metal rhodium sells for about $400,000 per kilogram — and we only mine a very small amount of those per year. It's measured in single-digit or double-digit tons: 20 or 30 tons of these materials per year. Possibly, you could make an economic case to bring back some of those platinum-group metals. But for something like copper, we mine millions of tons per year, and that's never going to make sense. That's kind of the big misnomer about space resources that's out there in the public perception: that what we're talking about is going out into space and bringing stuff back and selling it into existing commodity markets. And that's really not what the main focus is. The main focus is using local materials that we find to help expand civilization into space rather than bringing everything with us. But maybe, just maybe, you could make a case for something like some of these platinum-group metals.What you're doing is not speculative. This is something that you think will have practical application and you're graduating students who are getting hired to begin to think and do this, right?It's still in the early stages, but it's not science fiction and it's not theoretical. Let me give you a couple examples of what's been happening in the last few years. Last year on Mars, there's a small instrument on board the Mars Perseverance rover, the NASA rover, called MOXIE. And this is a demonstration that sucks up a little bit of the CO2 atmosphere of Mars and converts it into breathable oxygen. This is the first time in history we've taken a raw material on another planetary body and actually turned it into a valuable product. It's the first creation of a resource in space.Second example: A couple months ago, we had the launch of a private lander from the company ispace. This is going to be the first attempt at a commercial landing on the Moon. And as part of that mission, they're going to try to scoop up a small amount of the regolith. And NASA has already signed a contract to purchase that material. It's a very small dollar amount. The real point of that is to set a precedent that if you go out and mine material in space, that it is yours to then sell to someone else. So if that's successful, around April that will be the first sale of a resource in outer space. There are a wide variety of companies working on this. We have the Space Resources Program at Colorado School of Mines. And just an example there, Blue Origin — not a lot of people know about this — in the past year or so they've hired about 30 full-time employees working just on space resources [in situ resource utilization].Space resources and multi-planetary civilizationAs you've been talking, I've been trying to quickly dig up a quote from one of my favorite books and TV shows, The Expanse, which touches on this issue of the resources out there. Let me just quickly read it to you: “Platinum, iron, and titanium from the Belt. Water from Saturn, vegetables and beef from the big mirror-fed greenhouses on Ganymede and Europa, organics from Earth and Mars. Power cells from Io, Helium-3 from the refineries on Rhea and Iapetus. A river of wealth and power unrivaled in human history came through Ceres.” That's the big sci-fi dream, that there is this vast field of resources out there that we can tap into. And if we can tap into it, it will be primarily for creating this space civilization.Yeah, that's exactly right. The atoms are out there. We know all of the atoms in the periodic table are found on every planetary body. It's a matter of concentration, and it's a matter of having the energy to separate those out and turn them into useful products. As long as we can figure out how to do that, then we have the resources available, just in the solar system, to support a massive population of people to live at a very high level of well-being. The long-term promise is that we can expand into space and have a thriving civilization that is built on top of those resources.I love how you put it in one of your tweets. You wrote, “Space resources are optional to gain a foothold in space, but necessary to gain a stronghold.”If you look back at what we've done so far in human space exploration, we've landed 12 people on the Moon, they walked around for a few days, and then they came back. Since then, we've sent people up to low-Earth orbit to the International Space Station or the Chinese equivalent. They stay up there for a few months, and they come back. In those cases, it makes sense to bring everything that you need with you: all the food, all the water, all the oxygen. If we have greater ambitions than that, though — if we want to not just walk around on the Moon, but have a permanent installation, we want to start growing a city on Mars that becomes self-sufficient, we want to have these O'Neill cylinders — you simply just can't launch that material with you. And that's because we live in this deep gravity well. We can just barely get these small payloads off the surface with chemical rockets. It just economically, physically does not make sense to try to bring everything with you if you have these larger ambitions. The only way to enable that kind of future is to make use of the material that you find when you get to your destination.The question I always get is, why bother doing any of this? Is that a question you spend a lot of time trying to answer? Or are you convinced it's going to happen and you've just moved beyond the question?I think enough people have made the case for why we need to do this. You can look at it from different perspectives, from one of scientific discovery to one of existential risk to the planet that, if we stay here on Earth, eventually something is going to come along that presents an existential risk to civilization. What I'm trying to do is work with the people, with the companies who are actually trying to do this and help them using my perspective, this kind of unique perspective that's based around the science and the composition of these planetary bodies and how to make use of these resources. I don't concern myself too much with the question of why we should do that. I'll kind of leave that to more of the philosophers, the other people who have worked on that. I agree that I'm kind of past that and I am really deep in the nitty-gritty details of how to actually do this: how to turn the regolith into metals and ceramics; how to get rocket propellant out of ice at the pools of the Moon. That's what I spend my time focused on.Public and private sector space exploitationThere was a boom in some planetary resource startups a few years ago which didn't last. What has changed between now and back then? Is it just the drop in launch costs? The technology has gotten better? Up until very recently, we had very low interest rates, it was easy to finance things? We're in like a second wave of this. What is making this second wave possible?I think the launch costs and technology do make a difference. I think the other thing is the way that some of these newer companies are going about it. That first wave that started back around 2012, you had these two main companies, Planetary Resources and Deep Space Industries, and they tried to do this as kind of a typical venture capital–funded endeavor where they went through their seed round, their series A, series B. And that's pretty difficult to do if you want a return on your investment in five to seven years. So what we're seeing lately are companies coming into this space who have already amassed a lot of capital. They might have founders or backers who have the money to actually put up missions without first raising capital.I think that's what's going to start to make more of a difference and make this second wave last and have longer legs. Some of the companies that are coming into this: I mentioned one, of course, Blue Origin with Jeff Bezos, who is pumping in about a billion dollars a year, very active in this space, not talking about it a lot publicly. But there are some newcomers that have also shown up in the last couple of years. One that we're working with is called KarmanPlus. They are a new asteroid mining company who are going to be setting up shop here in Colorado. They have the money upfront to be able to make a splash without having to go through the typical kind of VC funding route at the very beginning.How supportive is NASA of this general concept of seeing space as a resource to be extracted or exploited, whether it's to do things here on Earth or build a space civilization? Are they all on board? Do they view this as, “This is a private sector thing; we're going to focus on exploration and doing science, and this is a different thing and we really don't care”?NASA historically has always put a little bit of money into this field and the field of space resources. They have kept it going even as interest has waxed and waned. What they've never done, though, is made it a critical part of their missions. For example, right now they're working towards the Artemis program: landing people back on the surface of the Moon. They're exploring ideas of prospecting for ice at the poles of the Moon. They have this upcoming VIPER mission. They're funding technology to extract oxygen from the lunar regolith. But what they're not doing is saying the Artemis astronauts are going to breathe that oxygen and that's going to be a critical part of the Artemis program. So they're funding it; they're bringing it along. They are supporting it to some extent, but they're not making it a key part of their missions. I think what we're going to see is continued activity in the private sector. And then what we're also seeing, though, is a lot more interest lately from the Space Force and from DARPA. Those government agencies are starting to get a lot more interested in these topics.The next steps for space resource extractionWhen you think about this, what is the timeline that is reasonable using space resources to create a permanent base on the Moon, on Mars, to go further out and extract resources, not from the regolith on the Moon, but from actual asteroids and using those resources? What is your loose timeline of how you think about it? You don't have to give months and days and dates. But just broadly.Right now we're in the phase where we're testing and developing the technology in the laboratory space and then just starting to deploy it as these kind of demonstrations on the Moon or on Mars. I mentioned the MOXIE experiment converting the atmosphere of Mars into oxygen. In the next couple years, there are going to be a lot of these small commercial landers going to the Moon. A lot of those have demonstration payloads where they're going to do things like trying to 3D print with the regolith or trying to extract oxygen from it. The next step, I'd say maybe three to five years from now, is to get to the point where we have kind of a pilot plant. Maybe we're extracting water from the poles of the Moon or oxygen from the regolith and we have something a little bit bigger than these tiny experiments. So we'd have something like a pilot plant. Maybe 10 years out, we have full-scale production of a simple resource like rocket propellant. And then I think we're in maybe the 15- to 20-year time scale for starting some of those larger efforts: starting to land supplies on Mars that would go towards this city that SpaceX has talked about, starting to 3D print a structure on the Moon that would be a permanent installation. That's kind of the timeline that I think about.And then in terms of the investment part of this, there is another piece to this in that a lot of the companies who are working on these technologies also have a component of it that's focused on Earth-based technologies. One example is a company in Texas called ICON Technologies. Their main business is actually on Earth, and it's to 3D print entire houses to address the housing crisis. But then they also have a segment where they're applying those same techniques to be able to 3D print structures on the Moon or Mars. So for investors looking to get into this, there are a set of companies that have those shorter-horizon terrestrial applications, but then those also feed into these longer-term space-based goals.In 2019, you co-wrote a piece, “Feeding One Million People on Mars.” That would certainly qualify as a pretty large space colony. Can you briefly tell me how you would do that, and are we talking that being possible this century?The thing that I think a lot of people get wrong about the food piece of this is that they assume we're going to keep this paradigm that we've had for 10,000 years of growing our food in the dirt. There's a lot of work out there that's being done — it's not always very good quality — of, “Let's try to grow plants in the regolith. Let's add fertilizer to these fake regolith samples and try to grow plants.” And that's simply not very efficient. I think that as we go into space, we're going to abandon this idea of growing all of our food in dirt. I think it's going to be all through bioreactors, through cellular agriculture. I think that's kind of the main way that we're going to produce food in space.In terms of the logistics to do that on Mars, the challenge there is, let's say your end goal is you want a city with a million people on Mars — and that's what Elon has stated is kind of the end goal — the question is, how do you get there? And what you eventually want is for that city to be self-sustaining so that if the ships stopped coming from Earth, it would be able to persist. What you have to do is you have to transition from that city or that base making zero percent of the calories that are being consumed on Mars to eventually 100 percent. The challenge is figuring out how you scale from that zero to 100 percent. It's going to involve a massive number of ships that are sending supplies. But the question is, do you try to switch to being 100 percent self-sufficient at the beginning, or do you kind of slowly ramp up over time? That's kind of the main problem with the logistics: When do you stop sending the material from Earth and when do you send the machine that makes the material on Mars? That's a tricky problem.I would assume you were pretty happy to hear about this nuclear fusion breakthrough, because I doubt any of this really works, probably, unless you have nuclear fusion reactors?In space, there are some advantages to solar panels. If you are in orbit or on the Moon or near an asteroid, you don't have clouds, you don't have an atmosphere to attenuate the solar radiation. But I think, eventually, we are going to have to make that transition to something like fusion. People have talked about the potential for helium-3 on the Moon. I'm not 100 percent sold on that. There are other roots to get to fusion. But I think certainly that extra energy, that ability to scale the energy, really opens up the resources that are available. One thing we find is that on Earth we have a lot of ore bodies where certain elements have become very concentrated relative to the rest of the crust of the Earth. And that's where we set up mines and extract these materials. On other planetary bodies, those processes haven't happened to the same extent. And so we don't really have a lot of good ores that we could mine. And so what we're going to have to do is actually figure out how to extract something like rare-earth elements or copper from a raw material that doesn't have very much of those elements, doesn't have those ore minerals. And that's going to take an enormous jump in energy. Something like fusion is probably necessary to really achieve that self-sufficiency, to be able to get every element of the periodic table we need from raw materials that don't have very high concentrations.Perhaps a question I should have asked earlier: What is there a lot of out there that there's just not very much of here? I imagine whatever that is, it's the stuff that we're going to focus on first or potentially bring here. Is there stuff that's particularly abundant that we just don't have very much here?If we think of this from the level of chemical elements the answer is, not really. I mean, you could make a case that Helium-3 falls into that. But that's only true if you go out to the outer planets, Neptune and Uranus, they have a lot more helium-3 than the tiny amount that's kind of sprinkled in the lunar soil. The thing that's most abundant in space in terms of solid material is just the dirt. Almost every planetary body — the Moon, Mars, asteroids — they're all covered in this layer of regolith or dirt. And that really is the raw material that is going to have to be the feedstock for all these things we're talking about: the metals, the ceramics…We're going to have to make a lot of aluminum.Fortunately, actually, that is one thing: If we look up at the Moon at night, you have the bright regions, those are the lunar highlands. Those are almost entirely made of a mineral called anorthite that has a lot of aluminum. So there are very good sources of those kind of light structural metals on the Moon in particular.The criticisms and hurdles facing space miningDo you anticipate somebody at some point saying, “We've already overexploited the Earth. Now we're going to ruin the Moon too? And we're going to ruin Mars and asteroids — is this our galactic heritage?”Those conversations are already happening. For example, last month there was a preprint published that made the case that we should declare a moratorium on the entire north pole of the Moon, that it should be set aside for only scientific activities. Those conversations are just starting. Right now, there's no kind of legal framework to prohibit this kind of activity. Certainly, people are free to express their concerns and to propose ideas like this. But as of yet, we don't have some kind of widely ratified agreement or framework for how to responsibly use resources in space. Certainly, the people in the field of space resources, we're conscious of this. And we're not proposing to go out and strip mine the entire solar system. But I think the argument is that the potential benefits, especially in terms of well-being, just how many people could be supported with those resources, that outweighs the concerns about disturbing these natural environments.Are there types of mining that we do here right now which are kind of proofs of concept or might resemble what we would do on the Moon or Mars or an asteroid? Or would it just be totally different and these are all new technologies that we would have to innovate?Yes, there is a very good analogy, and it's something called heavy mineral sands deposits. These are not like your typical open-pit mines or your underground mines. These are kind of vast areas of loose sand on the Earth that have some very valuable elements locked up in these dense minerals. And so what happens is you go out and just scoop up these loose sediments and then you're sifting them to sort out those dense minerals that you want. So because almost every planetary body is covered in this loose unconsolidated regolith, I think that is a pretty good analogy for what we'll be looking at. You'll have excavators that scoop up that loose material, they bring it back to a processing site, and then you're sorting the minerals. It's kind of like a needle in a haystack to get the ones you want. And then the ones you don't want, you could still use those for other applications. You can melt them down, turn them into bricks, and do other things with them. That's probably the best analogy on Earth, these heavy mineral sands depositsAre the biggest hurdles making the economics work? Is it getting the basic science and technology to work? Is it sort of political support, because, at least for a long time, I would imagine even if it's a private effort there's going to be a lot of government money floating around here?I'm not worried about the fundamental technology to take material in space and turn it into useful resources. I think that's been well demonstrated in the lab, and there's a lot of research being put into that right now. It's a tractable problem. I think on the technical side, the biggest challenge is getting Starship into orbit in the near term. The progress on that seems to have stalled a little bit. And that's getting a little bit concerning, because something like that, that kind of launch capability and the cadence that allows, is really going to be necessary to enable the kind of kinds of things we talked about. On the technology side, it's really just the launch piece of it.The economics: I think people have made some pretty good business cases for things like propellant mined from the poles of the Moon and, I think, with some of these ideas around things like space-based solar power, planetary sunshades. So that's not too concerning. I think it's the combination of the launch piece of it and then the political support for this. If that were to really take a turn for the worse, that would not be good for these kinds of ambitions. I do think, though, this emerging space race with China…As long as China's interested, we're going to be interested, right?Yes. That is what's drawing in the interest of the Space Force, of DARPA. I think that's going to kind of keep things going for at least the medium term, as long as we're in that competition. This is a public episode.

Kershawنسب الشعب اليوناني الأسطورينسب الشعب اليوناني:الشعب اليوناني مصنف اصطلاحياً من الشعب الهندو-أوربي الشعوب التي هاجرت من منقطة بين اسيا وأوربا ولكن يهمنا هنا الفكرة الأسطورية وليس الفكرة الأنثروبولوجيه. فهم يعتقدون ان نسبهم امتداد ومتصل بالآلهة الأولمبية والطيتان فالقصة تحكي ان هناك شخص اسمه دوكيليان (Deucalion) وزوجته بيرا (Pyrra) وهو يمثل نوح في الأخبار التوحيدية فله قصة مشابهة لقصة نوح عليه السلام والطوفان سنذكرها في حينه.• دوكيليان قيل انه بن بروميثيوس خالق البشر ومختلف في امه قيل انها هيسيوني (Hesione) وفقاً لهيسيود.• بيرا هي ابنة ابيمثيوس (Epimetheus)، اخ بروميثيوس، وامها باندورا (Pandora) صاحبة قصة الصندوق وكذلك سنذكرها في حينه.• دوكيليان وبيرا لديهم ثلاثة أبناء يمثلون السلالة والقبائل اليونانية:o هيلين وثيا وباندورا الثانية• هيلين هذا ما يطلقون به اليونانيين أنفسهم حتى اليوم لذا تجد ان اليونان اسمها الجمهورية الهيلينية وتجد في جوازهم الجنسية هيليني. o هيلين لديه ثلاثة أبناء من حورية ماء الـ(nymph)أورسيس (Orseis): أيوليس (Aeolus) اب (الأيوليين)  دوروس (Dorus) اب الدوريين) زاذس (Xuthus) وهذا زاذس لديه ابنين:• أخايس (Achaeus) اب الآخيون.• واخيراً أيونيس (Iones) أب الأيونين وقيل ان العرب اسمتهم اليونانيين بناءاً عليه.• ثيا قيل انها حبلت بواسطة زيوس (Zeus) وانجبت:o ماجنس (magnes)o ومقدون (Macedon) سلالة الإسكندر الأكبر (Alexander the Great) والفيلسوف ارسطو (Aristotle) ولهذا السبب قيل انه لم يرث اكاديمية افلاطون (Plato) لأنه ليس أثينيي (هيليني)• باندورا الثانية حبلت أيضا بواسطة زيوس وأنجب جرايكوس (Gragecus) وأبناء هذا جرايكوس كانوا من اول المهاجرين لبلاد روما (إيطاليا) وبسبب ذلك سمي الشعب اليوناني بالإغريق.o جرايكوس (Gragecus) لديه حسب هيسيود (Hesiod) بن اسمه لاتينوس (Latinus) هل هو أب اللاتينيين؟ هل هو لاتينوس المذكور في الإنيادة (Aeneid) للشاعر الروماني فيرجل (Virgil)؟ هل فيرجل (Virgil) هو المذكور في الكوميديا الإلهية (Divine Comedy) للشاعر الإيطالي دانتي (Dante)؟ دانتي وفيرجل من ديفل ماي كراي (Devil may cry)؟ الله أعلم.o إضافة أخيرة للأنساب: وفقاً لهيسيود في كتاب المرأة هناك شخص اسمه عربوس (Arabus) او عريبيوس (Arabius) هو بن هرميس (Hermes) وثرونيا (Thronia).وهذا نبذة جدا مبسطة لسلالة الشعب اليوناني ودائما ما تجد عند التعمق في السلالات اليونانية حتى بعد الامتداد نجد ان نسباً لأحدى الآلهات او الطيتان بطريقة او بأخرى.الطبيعة الجغرافية والسياسية لليونانالطبيعة الجغرافية: اليونان شبه جزيرة طبيعتها وعرة وكثيرة الجبال وحولها جزر صغيرة كثيرة داخلها جبال ومرتفعات كذلك.  ولهذا كان الاتصال بين المدن شبه صعب بسبب وعارة الطرق وقيل هذا أحد أسباب عدم توحدهم كدولة وحدة الا في عهد الإسكندر.ولكن الملاحة البحرية بين الجزر في بحر ايجة شبه عوضت التواصل ولهذا التجارة الملاحية في كانت مثمرة بينهم وكأن البحر عوض ووحد ما فرقته الجبال والأرض. وقد سكنوا اليونانيين في أجزاء من مصر بالإسكندرية، وكذلك على الساحل الغربي في تركيا وقيل ان هناك حصلت معركة الإلياذة الشهيرة في مدينة طروادة.الطبيعة السياسية:ذكرنا ان صعوبة التواصل بين اليونانيين بسبب الظروف الجغرافية للمنطقة كانت أحد أسباب عدم توحدهم في دولة وحدة لذا كانت المدن والجزر اليونانية عبارة عن دول مستقلة صغيرة (City State) بعضها جزر ومدن ممالك، بعضها جزر ومدن جمهورية، بعضها جزر ومدن عشائر وقبائل.وهكذا نكون انتهينا من مقدمة الحلقة ونبدأ بقصص ميلاد الآلهة.ميلاد الآلهةمصدر القصص والأنسلب لهذا البودكاست:o بالنسبة لميلاد الآلهة سأذكر التي بها قصص واظن انه مهم، معتمداً على كتاب هيسيود ميلاد الآلهة.o الشعب اليوناني كان يتداول هذا القصص بشكل شفهي والكتب التي ذكرناها كتبت لاحقا في أعمال شعرية واعمال ملحمية وأعمال مسرحية.كيف يبدأ هيسيود ميلاد الآلهة: يذكر هيسيود بأنها إلهام من الميوسيس (The Muses)، ربات الفنون التسعة والتي ظهرن في فيلم ديزني هرقل، وأنهن يرقصن وينشدن في جبل هيليكون (Helicon Mount) وقد اهدياه غصن زيتون وسيلة تواصل بينه وبين ربات الفنون ومن خلال ألهم بقصيدة الثيوجني (Theogony).o ذكر هيسيود ان ربات الفنون التسعة، إذا فضلن ملك من الملوك، فبمجرد ميلاده يصببن من ريقهن في فمه فيصبح عذب الكلام.o وهن بنات زيوس من امهم نيموزين، في انمي بهذا الاسم، آلهة الذاكرة وهي أحد بنات اورانوس وجايا.o زيوس تشكل في شكل بشري وواقع نيموزين (Mnemosyne) تسعة ليالي وفي كل يوم كانت تنجب أنثى وهن: كليو ربة التاريخ (Cleo) اوتربي ربة الموسيقى (Euterpe) تالي ربة الكوميديا (Thalia) ملبومين للمأساة او التراجيديا (Melpomene) ترببسيكور للرقص (Terpsichore)  اراتوا للشعر الغنائي او به وصف حسي (Erato) بوليمني للمسرح (Polyhymnia) اوراني للفلك (Urania) كاليوب للشعر الملحمي (Calliope).وقد ذكرت مقدمة هيسيود عن ربات الفنون لأن القارئ للأدب او الملاحم اليونانية دائما ما سيجد أن المؤلف يبدأ بالابتهال لهؤلاء التسعة.قصص الوجود:نجد في قصص الميلاد أو أنساب الآلهة أن الوجود وجد قبل ميلاد الآلهة. والآلهة بعد ذلك أتت لكي تنظم الوجود. وانتهز هذه الفرصة في ذكر أنواع الكائنات عند اليونان:• الكيانات الأولية (Primordial):الكيانات التي ظهرت مع بداية الوجود وتمثل الطبيعة وظواهرها، وظهر منهم أول من حكم العالم.• الجبابرة (Titans):الجبابرة: الجيل الثاني والذي أزاح الكيانات من الحكم وأخذ مكانهم.• الأولمبيين (The Olympians):الجيل الثالث والذي خاض حرب ضد الجبابرة (Titanomachy) وحكم العالم. وأطلق عليهم الأولمبيين لاتخاذهم جبل أوليمبس سكن لهم.• المخلوقات الأسطورية (Mythical Creatures): الوحوش (Monsters)، الحوريات (Nymphs)، القنطور (Centaur)، وغيرهم من ابناء الجبابرة وملعوني الأولمبيين.• أنصاف الآلهة (Demi-God):كائنات نصفها آلهة ونصفها بشر وهؤلاء كثير منهم أبطال وكثير منهم أبناء زوس مثل: بيرسيوس (Perseus)، هيراكليس (Heracles)، آخيل (Achilles) وهؤلاء لديهم الفرصة للترقي ويصبحون آلهة مثل داينوسيس (Dionysus).• البشر:هؤلاء الذين عاصروا وعبدوا الآلهة منذ جيلهم الذهبي (Golden Age) وحتى الجيل الحديدي (Iron Age) وسنذكر قصصهم بالتفصيل ان شاء الله.الكائنات الأولية:• أول الكيانات وجوداً هو كايوس (Chaos) ويمثل الخواء وقد ظهر في لعبة هيديس (Hades Video Game). • ثم ظهرت جايا (Gaia) وهي تمثل الأرض، وظهر تارتورس (Tartarus) ويمثل قاع قاع الأرض وظهر كذلك ايروس (Eros) وهو يمثل الرغبة.o قيل ان هؤلاء الثلاث هم أبناء كايوس وقيل انهم ظهروا مع كايوس.• كايوس لديه أبناء آخرين:o نيكس (Nyx) وتمثل الليل. وظهرت في لعبة هيديسo ايريبس (Erebus) يمثل الظلام.• نيكس واخاها ايريبس قرروا انهم ينجبوا كيانات أخرى وسنرى ان إنجاب الأخ من أخته طبيعي جداً عند الآلهة اليونانية:• هيمرا (Hemera) وهو يمثل النهار.• ايثر (Aether) وهو غطاء السماء التي تتنفسه الكيانات لذا في الألعاب الروائية (Table-top RPG) والعاب الفيديو (RPG Games) نجد ان الذي ينعش نقاط السحر المستخدمة او المفقودة مشروب الإيثر (Ether).وطبيعي جدا ان الكيانات ممكن تقرر الإنجاب بدون أي تواصل جنسي ومن ذاتها بالفيض مثل أبناء نيكس (Nyx):• ثانتوس (Thanatos) وهو مثل ملك الموت وهو ظهر في لعبة هيديس• موروس (Moros) وهو يمثل الهلاك (Doom).• هيبنوس (Hypnos) وهو يمثل النوم وقد ظهر في لعبة هيديس أيضاً.• أونيروس (Oneiros) وهو يمثل الأحلام.• مومس (Momus) ويمثل اللوم السخرية او إله الساتير (Satir) كائن اسطوري.• اوزيس (Oziys) ويمثل الويل.• وعندها كذلك الكيريس (The Keres) هن كائنات بأجنحة يمثلن المصير الموت المفجع ولهن دور مثل الفالكيريس لكن هن لا يأخذن الموتى من المقاتلين للجنة إنما لقاع الجحيم. • والثلاثي الميوري (Moirai) سيدات القدر:o كلوثو التي تغزل وتلف الخيطo ليتشيس التي تمد خيطo أتروبوس التي تقطع الخيط• وكذلك عندها الهيسبريديس (Hesperides) حوريات الغسق (Evening Nymphs)، حارسات التفاح الذهبي وقيل انهن سبع.• نيميسيس (Nemesis) ويمثل القصاص ولهذا يسمى العدو الأكبر للأبطال بالنميسيس • أباتي (Apate) تمثل التضليل (Deception)• جيراس (Geras) ويمثل الشيوخة.• فيلوتيس (Philotes) ويمثل المحبة او الصداقة.• ديسكورد (Discord) نعم ديسكورد أو ايريس (Eris) وتمثل الخلاف.ما ذكرت هذا نموذج لميلاد او تزاوج الآلهة وكتاب هيسيود يذكر عشرات الآلهة المولودة بالتزاوج، محارم او بغير محارم، أو بالفيض. ومن هؤلاء الآلهة كريتوس (Kreatos) ويمثل القوة أو القدرة هو بن الجبار بالاس (Pallas) ونهر الجحيم (Styx) واكتفي بهذا القدر من نموذج ميلاد الآلهة وندخل على أول الملاحم.أولى الدماء بين الآلهةجايا (Gaia) واقعت ابنها أورانوس (Uranus) وأنجبوا الذين يطلق عليهم:• الجبابرة أو التيتان او إذا نقحرت الطيتان (The Titans) وهم اثنا عشر: 1. اوكيانوس (Okeanos) وهذا شيخ كبير واب لكثيرين.2. كويوس ((Coeus.3. كريوس (Crius).4. هايبريون (Hyperion).5. ايابتوس (Iapetus).6. ثيا (Theia).7. ريا (Rhea).8. ثيميس (Themis).9. نيموزين (Mnemosyne) أم ربات الفنون.10. فيبي (Phoebe) وليست فيبي من (Friends).11. تيثس (Tethys).12. كرونوس (Cronus) أصغرهم وله قصة مهمة سنذكرها بعد قليل.• وأنجبوا الثلاثي السايكلوبس (Cyclops) وهم الذين صنعوا الأسلحة لزيوس واخوته وهو دور مشابه للأقزام (Dwarfs) في الأساطير النورسية (Norse Mythology):1. برونتوس (Brontes) ويمثل الرعد.2. ستروبس (Steropes) ويمثل البرق.3. ارجس (Arges) ويمثل الوميض.• ذو المئة اليد (the Hecatoncheires) والذين يجب الا يذكروا حسب هيسيود ولكن يذكرهم:1. كوتاس (Cottus).2. برورياس (Briareus)3. جايجيس (Gyges).أترون كل هؤلاء الأبناء؟ اورانوس كان لا يحبهم ويكرههم، بالذات الثلاثي الأخير، وكان كل ولد من هؤلاء عندما تلده جايا يقوم اورانوس بحبسه في مكان سري داخل جايا وقيل داخل تارتروس (Tartus). طبيعي جدا هذا كان يزعج جايا فقد تمددت وترهلت بسبب هذا الحشي، ولذلك بغضت ابنها اورانوس وقامت بصناعة سلاح أسود مكون من مادة الأدمانتيوم (adamantium) يشبح المنجل (Sickle) أو المحش (Scythe) وأعلنت بعد ذلك لجميع أبنائها من يقوم بالإنتقام من ابيهم ويساعدها؟ فتطوع لذلك إبنها الأصغر كرونوس وأخذ المنجل وانتظر اللحظة الحاسمة؛ فقد كان اورانوس يهبط من السماء دائما على الأرض لجايا وينام. هنا اتى كرونوس (Cronos)بضربة واحدة قام بخصي اباه اورانوس. وهنا تناثرت الدماء وبعض قطرات المني وهبطت على الأرض والبحر:• فقطرات الدماء التي سقطت على جايا الأرض بعدها مباشرة ولدوا:1. الساخطات (The Furies) او الإيرنيس (The Erinyes): اليكتو (Alecto)، تيسفوني (Tisphone)، وميجرا (Megra) وهؤلاء يتنقمن من الذي يحنث قسمه للآلهة او يقسم بالآلهة قسم كاذب.2. العمالقة (Giants)3. حوريات المُران (Ash-tree Nypmhs)• أما قطرات المني فسقطت على البحر وتحولت إلى رغوة فولدت أفروديت (Aphrodite).بعد ذلك قام كرونوس بتحرير أخوته من الجبابرة الأثناعشر، ماعدا السايكلوبس وذو المئة يد! وكأنه يقول المشكلة منكما فعلاً! (it's not you. It is you!). وهذا مجدداً أغضب جايا فهي لم تتكبد هذا العناء لكي يظلوا أبنائهم حبسى.ميلاد الأولمبيينلعنة أورانوس:الكيان أورانوس (Uranus) غضب على ابنه كرونوس (Cronos) وتنبأ بأن من أبنائه من سيأخذ من الحكم بسبب فعلته تلك. ولم يفت من كرونوس أخطار تلك النبوءة، فقد أختار كرونوس اخته ريا (Rhea) زوجة له وأجبت له الأولمبيين. ولكي يتجنب لعنة أباه أورانوس كان كرونوس بمجرد ميلاد أبنائه يبلعهم مباشرة دون ان ينظر إليهم وكان من ابتلعهم كرونوس بالترتيب هم:1. هيستيا (Hestia).2. ديميتر (Dimeter).3. هيرا (Hera).4. هيديس (Hades).5. بوسيدون (Poseidon).ميلاد زوس:هذا أحزن وأغضب زوجة كرونوس، ريا. وقد كانت ريا حامل بجنين أخير ولا تريد له مصير أخوته السابقين. فقامت ريا بالشكوى لصاحبة التجربة جايا. فأشارت جايا على ريا ان تلد مولودها في معبد بجزيرة كريت (Crete) وهو الأبن الأخير لكرونوس، سيد الآلهة، الماجن، المتحول، اب الكثيرين، وزوج وعاشق لكثيرات الآله زوس (Zeus). بعد ولادة زوس أودعته ريا لدى جايا، ثم ذهب جايا لكرونوس معها حجر ملفوف برداء كأنه طفل حديث الولادة، وأعطته كرونوس، والأخير قام مباشرة بابتلاعه دون النظر في الرداء.نشأ زوس جبل آيدا (Mount Ida) في كريت وقام بتربيته شياطين الجبل (The Kouretes)، قد قيل إنهم حوريات لكن اخترت شياطين من باب التنويع وهن من أولاد جايا ولا نعلم من اين أتوا، فجايا ام لكثيرين، وكن يرقصن ويصرخن عندما يبكي او يصرخ زوس. والتي أرضعت زوس هي أميثليا (Amaltheia) ابنة الشمس هيلوس (Helios) وهي كائن أقرب للمعزة للبشر وكانت تحتضنه عندما تريد اخفاؤه عن كرونوس. وعندما بلغ سن الرجولة ذهب زوس لإنقاذ اخوته بالتعاون مع جايا وأمه وبن عمته ميتيس (Metis) ابنة أوكيانوس (Okeanos)، التي صنعت دواء مقيئ، وزعم مني التي قامت بإعطاء كرونوس الدواء هي ريا. وبمجرد شربه استفرغ أولا الحجر، ثم بسايدون، هيديس، هيرا، ديميتر وأخيراً هستيا. لذا تقنيا زوس أصبح الأكبر الآن وهيستيا هي الصغرى، وهنا قامت حرب العشر سنوات، الملحمة التيتانية (Titanomachy).الحرب التيتانيةالحرب:اتخذ زوس جبل أولمبيا مقرا له (Mount Olympus)، واجتمع مع اخوته وبقية الآلهة التيتانية وأخبرهم بأنه سيخوض الحرب ضد أبيه كرونوس ووعد الذين سيشاركون الحرب معه، في حال انتصاره، سيعطيهم مكافآت وسيحافظون على مناصبهم التي نالوها مع الجبابرة.أستجاب بعضهم ورفض بعضهم وأشهر من استجاب لدعوة زوس هو بروميثيوس (Prometheus) ابن الجبار ايابتوس (Iapetus) وكان معنى اسمه بعيد النظر، وحث بقية اخوه ابيمثيوس (Epimetheus) ومعنى اسمه قليل العقل او قصير النظر، وكذلك حث اخوه أطلس (Atlas) واستجاب الأول ورفض الأخير.وبدأت الحرب واستمرت 10 سنوات سجالاً، لا نعلم ماهي حيثيات الحرب ولا المعارك التي حدثت، ولكن نعلم ان زوس استشار جدته جايا كيف ينتصر على ابيه؟ فأخبرته ان عليه تحرير أبنائها الثلاثي سايكلوب وكذلك ذوي المئة يد، وهم سيحققون النصر، وفعلا قام زوس بالهبوط إلى تارتروس وقتل حارسة السجن كامبي (Kampe) وحررهم.طلب زوس بعد ذلك منهم المساعدة، فقام الثلاثي باختراع ثلاث أسلحة: الصواعق لزوس (Thunder Bolts)، خوذة الإخفاء لهيديس (Hades Helmet) والرماح ذي الثلاث شعب لبسايدون (Trident).  وبفضل الأسلحة استطاع زوس أخيرا الانتصار ثم حبس من حاربه من الجبابرة في اقصى قاع الأرض وبذلك أنتصر أخيرا زوس وحكم الأرض.لكن هذا الانتصار ليس نهاية الحروب، لأن جايا الأرض، أزعجها مجدداً حبس أبنائها. فكل ما تريد جايا فقط ان يكون جميع أبنائها أحراراً! قتلوا، نهبوا، استولوا لا يهم! المهم ان يكونوا أحراراً. فبدأت مجددا بحياكة حبكة أخرى تنتقم فيها من زوس في ملحمة أخرى، تسمى الـ(Gigantomachy) وسنعرض تفاصيلها الحلقة القادمة ان شاء الله. 

This week, Leo and the team end up in Bologna (vocabulary word #1) and he has some spooky dreams about Clytius (vocabulary word #2). We lose our minds over the pronunciation of Clytius. Manasa also brings up a goat that keeps burning down. Leo has to fight some demon monkey dwarves. Meanwhile, in Tartarus, Annabeth and Percy confront Kelli, and then are saved by Bob, formerly known as Iapetus. We discuss whether Percy thinks Iapetus was hot. Lots of fun callbacks to PJO in this one.

Folge 55 ist die erste von fünf Urlaubsfolgen. Denn wir wollen im Sommer gerne Urlaub machen. Euch aber trotzdem nicht zu einer Podcast-Pause zwingen. Deswegen haben wir fünf kurze Folgen vorbereitet, die wir im Sommer veröffentlichen können. In der ersten Urlaubsfolge reden wir über Wurstsemmelmonde und Leberkäse. Oder besser gesagt: Über die Äquatorialkämme. Die findet man nur bei drei der Saturnmonde und geben ihnen ein äußerst seltsames Aussehen. Wo diese Bergketten die rund um die Monde laufen herkommen, wissen wir noch nicht. Aber sie sehen so absurd aus, dass wir das irgendwann auf jeden Fall noch rausfinden müssen.

Der Berg ruft. Und nicht nur auf der Erde sondern auch auf anderen Himmelskörper. Und da stehen Trümmer rum, die wirklich laut rufen können!

Let's find out what the girls, women and non-binary people of The Expanse did in season six, episode five called, “Why We Fight”.  Transcript:IntroductionWelcome to the Women of The Expanse podcast. I'm your host, Didi. This episode gave us more character moments, and a reunion between Camina and Naomi. Plus, it got everyone where they needed to be for the series finale. Holden's decision from “Force Projection” looks even worse after the L's that the joint fleet received during this episode. But Holden's not going to apologize or even admit it to Avasarala. If anyone is a “self-righteous shit”, Camina, it's James, not his partner. Now let's find out what the girls, women and non-binary people of The Expanse did in season six, episode five called, “Why We Fight”. CaraCara is sleeping in the woods after taking her dead brother to get ‘fixed' by the strange dogs. Her parents and some of the Laconian military are calling out for her. When she wakes up, Cara doesn't answer them. She walks further into the forest, looking for the dogs. She finds a group of the dogs surrounding a revived Xan. His eyes are different and he asks Cara what it means to be in substrate.  She doesn't know either. He says he feels weird and everything looks different. Cara doesn't care that her brother looks different and says things that don't make sense. She hugs him and thanks the dogs for fixing him. Admiral KirinoKirino and her MCRN force head out to Medina Station. They eliminate sentries from the Free Navy at the Ring. On a wide-band channel, the Admiral announces herself and threatens to open fire unless they surrender. They prepare plasma warheads only, no nuclear weapons. But she gets a report about multiple plasma discharges coming from the Ring station. They don't have time to investigate as several missiles are coming toward the Martian ships. Kirino doesn't get to finish her request for emergency evasion before her ship is destroyed. Rosenfeld GuoliangRosenfeld is delivering a report while Marco watches news feeds about unrest on Iapetus and other Belter stations. They salvaged some parts from the Granicus that will be delivered to the Pella. She asks Marco if he would like Filip to be assigned to the detail. Marco doesn't care. “It's of no concern to me.” He is more concerned about what's being said of him on the news feeds. “They are calling it my war,” he says. Rosenfeld tells him that Iapetus is one insignificant station. But Marco says it only takes one to create doubt. He blames this on Drummer. If enough Belters work with the inner planets, then the Free Navy could lose the war. That's why Rosenfeld urges Marco to go to Medina. “With 1300 systems and hundreds of colonies under your thumb, as much metal as we can mine, as many shipyards as we can build. Anyone who wants access to that will have to ask you.” But remember, Rosenfeld wants to be Governor of Medina Station, so I think she's secretly picturing people asking her for access. She downplays Drummer's accomplishments as a raid of a defenseless supply depot. Marco seems to like what Rosenfeld is saying and walks closer to her. But her hand terminal chimes and whatever Marco was going to do is forgotten. She gets word that the Martian ships around Medina have been destroyed, She wants to celebrate and leaves to make arrangements. As the celebration commences, Rosenfeld announces that the Martians were taken by surprise and all their ships were destroyed by their new railguns. They will drink Earther brandy ‘liberated from Ceres Station'  in celebration. Tadeo has been sent to the brig because he broke radio silence looking for his brother on Ceres Station. Filip did some digging and told Tadeo the bad news that his brother didn't make it. Tadeo admits to being on the crew that set up mining charges on Ceres Station. He was told that no Belters would be killed. Rosenfeld talks to Marco amid the celebrations. His verdict is that the inner planets have size and the Free Navy has numbers. They cannot engage with all his forces at once. She asks Marco about his father; Marco says he never knew him. Rosenfeld says he ‘improved upon the role'. It must suck to constantly have to blow smoke up this narcissist's butt. She shows Marco video of Filip's speech in the galley. It's hard to tell whether Marco is proud or suspicious of his son. Chrisjen Avasarala Back on the UNN Zenobia, they watch the last seconds of Kirino's command. The railguns that fired on them were Martian design but the metal was foreign, something they've never seen before. Bobbie says that Marco traded the Belt's protomolecule sample for Martian ships and weapons. Kirino's ship took fire from five guns but there are probably six in total. They are perched around the ring, ready to ‘rain hell' on anyone who approaches. Some members of the council want to blow up Medina so they can't supply Marco with any more ships or weapons. Bobbie reminds them that the last time they fired up a nuke near a ring station it powered up and almost wiped out the solar system. So, that's a no.There's still time to engage with the Pella before it goes through the ring. But they would have to abandon Ceres Station. Gareth does his best Rosenfeld impression without knowing it by saying they don't owe Ceres a goddamn thing. Admiral Sidiqi wants to load up every warship they've got and ride out. But Avasarala says there aren't enough ships, the joint fleet is spread too thin. Avasarala wants to give the troops a fighting chance to win. She tells the council that they will have her decision soon and dismisses them. Avasarala asks Bobbie for her opinion. “Have I gone soft? Was I trying too hard to be good when I should have been ruthless?” She makes an offhand comment about the warhead on the Roci that misfired. And I'm glad that no one told Bobbie what really happened. After being needled for a response, Bobbie tells her that now is not the time for self-pity. Just keep your eyes on the enemy and wait for them to slip up again. “I still think we're the good guys. And I'd rather do a little less soul searching and a lot more fighting back.” I guess that wasn't what Avasarala wanted to hear so she tells Bobbie to ‘go do something else'. Avasarala tells Monica that they got some info from a Belter on Ganymede about some experimental biotech that would help the whole solar system grow food faster. Monica echoes Bobbie's words about one good person helping change the course of the war.ChrisJen takes a stimulant before welcoming James Holden. She says he rarely wastes her time and that might be true. But he does piss her off a lot. James tells her about the risks involved in traveling through the rings. Ships that do are disappearing. James wants to share the info with Marco, thinking that he might back off. I thought James had left some of that naivete behind in seasons one and two but nope!ChrisJen shows James the Free Navy railguns that destroyed six Martian ships in seconds. She can't afford to think about the future of Ring transit until they end this war. Then she asks Holden how well he knows Camina Drummer. ChrisJen needs an ally, preferably a Belter, with lots of ships and guns. Right now, Camina fits the bill. Bobbie DraperBobbie's in the bar on Ceres Station, in civvies, when she sees Amos stumble in. He's got scratches and glitter on his neck and just been fucked hair. Bobbie's been trying to forget how much she hates politics. She doesn't think they'll lose or win, that their grandchildren will still be fighting over the same things a hundred years from now. Amos tells Bobbie that Holden disarmed the nuke and Bobbie just laughs. Amos doesn't know what he's fighting for and Bobbie says in the end all you can do is fight for your people. Which is something that Naomi echoes later in the episode. Amos finally decides to go back to the Roci after one more trip to the brothel. He invites Bobbie and ew… Clarissa MaoClarissa tells James that the UNN will reinforce the Roci's hull with carbon silicate lace plating. It's some kind of new armor that's used on UNN One. It came from protomolecule research which reminds Clarissa of her dad who did terrible things with the protomolecule to ‘ensure the survival of our species'. Stuff like this makes him seem right and that makes Clarissa uneasy. She tells James that Amos went out to the station and doesn't know when he'll be back. Clarissa stumbles after packing suits and helmets away. This is probably related to using her mods in the X-ray bonus content last week. Naomi NagataNaomi is listening to a message from Dr. Elvi Okoye. The doctor concludes that many of the ship disappearances in the data were similar to the Barkeith. She thinks the data suggests that there is a mass energy threshold that comes before or even triggers these disappearances. All of this makes using the Rings dangerous. James says that Avasarala needs to see this data, that it's ‘bigger than the war'. I don't think Avasarala will agree with that, but whatever, James. Naomi's looking at the news feeds and laughs. But she's not laughing at James - though she could - she's laughing with joy at the news of Camina Drummer bringing food and supplies to Ceres Station. Camina DrummerCamina is arguing with an UNN officer on Ceres Station that wants to board each one of Camina's ships, pilot them into Ceres and conduct a search for Free Navy partisans or Belters with warrants. Avasarala interrupts the connection and lets Drummer and her ships through. They continue to talk, as Avasarala tries to build rapport with a very resistant Camina. “A century of oppression made Marco Inaros inevitable.” Avasarala invites Camina to her ship to talk more but Camina declines. “The Belters here are hungry and I have food. I'm here for them, not you,” she says and ends the call. Josep's limb did not grow well. It will have to be removed and surgery done to prepare for a prosthetic. Camina gets a message from Naomi on her hand terminal. Naomi had just seen the report on the news feed. This is before James spoke to Avasarala and before anyone asked Naomi to get Camina to fight with ChrisJen. Michio and Josep decide to stay on Ceres Station while Camina goes on to fight the Free Navy. Camina tells them that she loved them because they were builders. She wanted to build something with them. Naomi is waiting for Camina outside her ship. They have some awkward small talk and you can tell that Camina wants to hug Naomi but doesn't for some reason. She invites Naomi inside the Tynan. Naomi calls it a fine ship. She asks to meet Camina's family but they're gone. Camina goes through the list of losses she's had while saving the Rocinante or opposing Marco. Camina wants to know why Naomi came to see her. Holden asked her to appeal to Drummer so that she might fight with Avasarala against the Free Navy. Camina asks Naomi how she can fight with and live with inners, how she can pick their side over and over again. But we know that Naomi has not always picked their side. She most definitely picked the Belters when she gave Fred Johnson the protomolecule sample. And the crew members of the Roci who came from inner planets made her miserable about that for the better part of a season. Anyways, Naomi tells Camina that all we can do now is stand by the people we love. Camina says, “Fuck you, you self-righteous shit,” but finally hugs her. Something that Naomi said must have gotten through to Camina because she does agree to meet with ChrisJen and set terms. Will the Belters be remembered after the war is over? ChrisJen promises they will. Camina's people will not take orders from ChrisJen. They shake hands and an alliance is born. OutroAnd that's everything the girls, women, and non-binary people did in The Expanse season six, episode five, “Why We Fight”. That's also it for The Women of The Expanse podcast. Thanks for listening.

She is keenly interested in sustainability issues, and the business of making ethical drinks and food. Her work appears regularly in Wine Searcher, Wine Enthusiast, Liquor.com and many other publications. Kathleen also co-authored a book called Hudson Valley Wine: A History of Taste & Terroir, which was published in 2017. You can follow her at @kathleenwillcox.  So here we go:The Future of Winemaking Is Hybridhttps://wineindustryadvisor.com/2021/09/02/winemaking-hybrid-grapesBy Kathleen Willcox - September 2, 2021Why US winemakers are seeking out non-vitis vinifera grapes—Kathleen WillcoxThere will always be a place for conventionally produced vitis vinifera. But, in truth, more and more influential producers and consumers are looking for something with a little more soul, and a lot more edge.Hybrids—especially in the challenging grape-growing zone of the East Coast—have become ascendant for several reasons.First, more consumers are seeking out unconventional, organically grown wines. IWSR predicts that by 2023, about 976 million bottles of organic wine will be consumed, up 34 percent from 720 million in 2018.Younger wine lovers are especially keen to find wines produced from sustainably grown grapes, according to Silicon Valley Bank’s most recent Wine Industry Trends and Report, which stated “sustainability, health and environmental issues,” in tandem with concerns over “social justice, equity and diversity,” are driving the purchasing decisions of Millennials and members of Gen Z.Unfortunately growing classic vitis vinifera in certain East Coast regions is nigh impossible without nuking them with chemicals.But growing hybrids pretty much anywhere is arguably easier. And more eco-friendly.Thankfully, the pioneering work of scientists and early adopters of non-vinifera grapes have helped yield a new generation of growers, producers and consumers who embrace them.The Hybrid SciencePrograms at Cornell University and University of Minnesota have created thousands of new varieties of grapes designed to combat diseases and weather challenges. Grapes that emerge from these programs are typically crosses between so-called European vinifera, and others native to North America and Asia, like riparia, labrusca and rotondifolia.Cornell has been working on developing hybrid grapes for more than 100 years.“Genetic sequencing technology has come a long way, and in the past 10 years we have been able to use sequencing to quickly determine cold hardiness and disease resistance,” says Bruce Reisch, a professor who specializes in grapevine breeding. He joined Cornell in 1980, and since then, has released 10 new wine grapes and four seedless table grapes. He explains that they are not genetically modifying the grapes, merely determining which ones will flourish in challenging conditions, and pursuing the more promising hybrids.For wineries like Shelburne Vineyard in the Champlain Valley, where winters are harsh, springs rainy, and summers humid, the work of scientists like Reisch is nothing less than essential.“Shelburne has been planting hybrids since 1998, and while they pioneered hybrid grape growing in Vermont, we have all been thrilled to see how much the market has grown and developed,” says winemaker Ethan Joseph, who joined Shelburne in 2008. “We’ve learned how important site selection, careful vineyard management, and low intervention winemaking are. We treat our hybrids with as much care and thought as other growers treat their vitis vinifera, and that has allowed the terroir and the best qualities of these grapes to shine through.”Joseph’s ultimate goal is to eliminate the use of chemicals, a feat he says would be “impossible” if they grew all vitis vinifera. He’s most excited about Marquette (a Pinot Noir hybrid with notes of cherry, pepper and summer berries), Louise Swenson (a white hybrid with acidity, and floral notes), and La Crescent (a white wine hybrid with notes of apricot, citrus, and peach).In 2017, Shelburne went out on a limb and pushed aggressively into the natural wine and hybrid space with Iapetus. “That line has skyrocketed,” Joseph notes. “Now it comprises about 40 percent of our 5,000-case annual count.”Convincing the ConsumerColleen Hardy, co-owner of Living Roots Wine Co. in the Finger Lakes and Adelaide, concurs. She launched Living Roots in 2016, in partnership with her South Australian winemaking husband Sebastian as a kind of cross-global viticultural experiment.“We wanted to use grapes in both regions that are, first and foremost, climate appropriate,” Sebastian Hardy says. “In the Finger Lakes, that means Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer, but also Aromella, Arendell, Rougeon, Regent and Petit Pearl.” The couple, who sells 85 percent of their production from their tasting room, doesn’t have trouble hand-selling their hybrid and hybrid-vitis vinifera blended wines. “Once we talk visitors through it.”Colleen Hardy says that finding high-quality hybrids is dependent on the grower. “We offer to pay more if they grow it with the same care that we expect with vinifera, and hold off on spraying,” she says“In the Hudson Valley, especially if you want to grow organically, hybrids are necessary,” says Todd Cavallo, who founded Wild Arc Farm in Pine Bush, N.Y. with his wife Crystal. “We lost our entire crop of Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir in 2018. We replanted some of the Pinot Noir, but the rest we planted to hybrids.”Wild Arc’s one-acre estate vineyard is primarily experimental though; they source most of their grapes.“We are working with other like-minded producers who want organically grown hybrid grapes,” Cavallo explains. “A lot of [hybrids] have been grown for bulk wines, but we are promising growers that if they change their farming practices, we’ll pay more.”By working cooperatively, Cavallo and others hope that they can simultaneously increase the value of hybrid fruit, and change market perception. Philadelphia-based Alexandra Cherniavsky, a sommelier and consultant who finds distribution for wineries at restaurants, has seen the market for hybrid wines change firsthand. But she believes there’s still a long way to go before restaurants are ready to open their lists to hybrids.“Once people try wines made from hybrid grapes, they’re a lot more open,” she says. “They sell well in tasting rooms, where the winemaking team can explain their history and provide context.”But if they’re going to take off, they need to appear on more restaurant lists. “Wineries should approach local restaurants armed with the educational materials and context they provide at the tasting room. If they know how to explain them to diners, they’ll be a lot more liable to put them on the list,” Cherniavsky says.Not Just for Challenging ClimatesThe East Coast is hardly the only place hybrids are found. At Bells Up Winery in Newberg, Oregon, winemaker Dave Specter says that their Seyval Blanc is farmed with fewer chemicals than his vitis vinifera. And, the wines have achieved “cult status,” selling out every year.“We are the only planting of Seyval Blanc in Willamette Valley, and only the second in Oregon. It’s not only a part of our plan to diversify our vineyards and enable us to react to climate change, but also part of our larger push to appeal to younger, more adventurous consumers,” he says.A parallel movement, PIWI, is happening in Europe, although as Reisch explains, it’s slightly different.“Most of Europe does not have the harsh winters that we do here,” he says. “The hybrid programs there are inherently very different, because their grapes are being crossed with the goal of resisting different disease and weather pressures.”Some regions have yet to open the door to hybrids; they’re banned in France in wines with appellation names, but for a certain type of American winemaker—and consumer—that kind of prohibition only makes them more enchanting.____________________________________________________________________As a producer, I have experience many of these anecdotes firsthand.  Year after year, our bold red blend of hybrid grapes, our crisp dry Seyval Blanc, our Charmat produced blend of hybrid whites, and our balanced but sweet Moscato made from Valvin Muscat, a grape developed by Bruce Reisch, are among our bestsellers.  In our immediate region, our Seyval Blanc sees perennially brisk sales at off-premise retail locations.  I craft these wines with the same dedication as every other wine, and consumers love them.  They still do not receive the recognition they should from major wine publications, but they keep our customers happy, and that keeps us in business. Even I admit to stressing our production of vinifera varietals, from sparkling to still, and from white to red.  It is afterall, what we personally grow.  But I commend the three growers I work with in the Finger Lakes, that year after year, with drastically less inputs and nearly regardless of weather, grow and deliver clean and delicious fruit.  When I left California to make wine in the Finger Lakes, people questioned why I made the transition.  A major component for me was the sense of adventure, and feeling of it being a frontier.  Frontiers introduce us to new things, they force us to think differently, and find new ways of addressing challenges.  For a century, the Finger Lakes and much of the East coast has done that through developing grape varietals that suit the climate.  Today, it’s done with those considerations in mind as well as with a thought towards preservation and conservation.  Saving a pass through the vineyard with the tractor means one less spray, or more, and that means less compaction of the soil, and better soil health.  Every little thing we do adds up, and just like that, a century of lessons from the frontier may impact the world of wine in the century to come.  If you’re a wine writer, feel free to forward me an article for consideration at viticulturepodcast@gmail.com.  I’m happy to look it over, and maybe even discuss it with you on the show.

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz share the latest news and updates from the Percy Jackson universe, discuss everything they know and want from the Nico di Angelo standalone novel co-written by Mark Oshiro, and analyze chapters 9 and 10 of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates (00:01:33) Kwame Mbalia loves writing kidlit. Fathoms Deep, a Black Sails podcast, did an episode on mythology. Nico di Angelo standalone novel (00:05:31) Karen wrote an article about the Nico di Angelo book and how it could expand the Percy Jackson universe in a unique way. Who's Mark Oshiro? They've written a lot of books, short stories, and non-fiction. We've definitely heard of Anger Is a Gift. Mark is a massive PJO/Nico fan, so this book is in excellent hands. We read through Mark's reaction to the news. If you sign up for Mark's Patreon, you may get some cool bonus material. And don't forget about his Instagram! And don't worry, they're gonna give the gays everything they want. Let's talk about the process and how writing this book is gonna work. We know an approximate date for the book's release, but there's no title yet. Let's talk about Tower of Nero and what it could tell us about what's to come. Hearing voices is never a good sign. Do you remember Iapetus, aka Bob? Karen has a lot of emotions about House of Hades and Bob (and Small Bob!). “I don't like it when people are overlooked.” NICO, YOU SWEET, SWEET BOY. But Percy and Annabeth got to go to Tartarus, why can't I?? *foot stomp* How convenient we weren't able to hear the prophecy. Are they EVER good news? If you're worried about Rick co-writing a book…don't be!! We love #OwnVoices stories. Look, Rick has A LOT on his plate. Maybe we can get more book with other co-writers? Do you think we'll ever get a PJO story a la Lower Decks from Star Trek? What if there are crossover stories between the Percy Jackson universe and the Rick Riordan Presents books? Just IMAGINE the possibilities. Chapter Reviews (00:52:29) Kristen leads us through chapters 9 and 10 of The Lightning Thief. Karen recalls Trevor Noah's Born a Crime and feels sad for Percy. Does Percy have a different sensitivity to spirits than other people? Who knows, but that mummy is CREEPY. We make sure we have the full prophecy text here. (Prophecy Count: 3) Why did the Oracle choose Smelly Gabe and his friends? What are the odds Percy would get a quest that sends him exactly where he wants to go? We get an answer to one of our previous questions. Rick has always had a thing against Hollywood and Los Angeles, hasn't he? Ah, Wise Girl. How awesome is Riptide? MVP, to be honest. If Gabe is repulsively human, what does that say about mankind?? Why did Mrs. Dodds reanimate so quickly? We want some magical gifts! Shoutout to Hillary Duff.

One of the moons of Saturn is two-toned. One hemisphere is bright, while the other is as dark as coal. And the difference may be caused by another moon. Iapetus was discovered 350 years ago today by Giovanni Cassini. The moon is about 900 miles in diameter and more than two million miles from Saturn. A ridge around its equator makes it look like a walnut. As Cassini studied his discovery, he noticed something odd: He could see it only when it was on the western side of Saturn, not the eastern. He soon figured out that Iapetus always keeps the same hemisphere turned toward Saturn, just as the same hemisphere of our moon always faces Earth. Cassini also realized that half of the moon must be bright, the other dark. We got a good look at that two-toned appearance from the Cassini spacecraft, which orbited Saturn for more than a decade. It showed that there's a sharp line between light and dark. The leading hemisphere of Iapetus probably gets coated with dust from Phoebe, another moon. The dust traps sunlight during the day, warming the ice below it. Some of the ice vaporizes and migrates to the trailing hemisphere, where it's nighttime. Once there, it freezes — making the dark side darker and the bright side brighter. Saturn is due south at nightfall and looks like a bright star, well to the right of brighter Jupiter. Iapetus is so faint that you need a telescope to see it — no matter which hemisphere is facing Earth.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

While Batman and Superman previously set records with the sales of their debut comics, Spider-Man has officially taken the crown, thanks to a recent sale by Heritage Auctions. Amazing Fantasy #15 is the first issue in which Spider-Man, Marvel's most iconic superhero, appeared in comics. A copy of the original issue was sold this week for a whopping $3.6 million, making it the most expensive single comic issue of all time. The 1962 Marvel Comics issue breaks a record that was set by DC's Superman debut earlier this year. An issue of Action Comics #1, which debuted in 1938, previously sold for $3.25 million, which was the biggest sale at the time. The issue of Amazing Fantasy #15 that broke the sales record this week is one of the highest-graded issues of that comic in the entire world. That specific issue is graded CGC 9.6, meaning it's in near mint condition. It is one of only four issues to receive that grading. There are no copies graded CGC 9.8, the next-highest grading on the scale.14th September 2021 – 20th anniversary of Gamecube released in Japan - https://www.kotaku.com.au/2021/09/the-nintendo-gamecube-turns-twenty-today/On September 14, 2001, the GameCube first went on sale for the first time in Japan. Two months later, on November 18, the console was released in North America. Facing off against the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox, the GameCube was the first Nintendo console to use optical discs — though, the console wasn't designed to play DVDs or CDs like its rivals could. While the console was no all-inclusive living room entertainment hub, the GameCube did the video gaming part extremely well and boasted a solid library, including Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, Pikmin, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Chibi-Robo!, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, among many others, such as third party exclusives like Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader as well as Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, which was a Metal Gear Solid remake co-developed by Silicon Knights that featured new cutscenes by filmmaker Ryuhei Kitamura of Godzilla: Final Wars fame. One of the most last legacies of the GameCube has been its controller. This is a controller design so good — so perfect — that Smash pros were getting their old ones repaired and that Nintendo even re-released it just for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch. Nintendo launched the Wii in 2006 and a year later, the previous gen console was discontinued. It wasn't the success that Nintendo hoped, but it occupies an important place in game console history.16th September 2021 – 100th anniversary of Sir Norman Brearley's first scheduled air service - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-16/brearley-commemorative-flight/100463236 A century after an accomplished young pilot made his mark on aviation history, 55 people have boarded 23 planes for a flight to commemorate his daring feat. The fleet departed Geraldton today as part of a tour following the route of Australia's first scheduled air service, which left the city for Derby on December 5, 1921, under the leadership of Major Norman Brearley. Later knighted for his services to aviation, Major Brearly had returned from the aerial battlefields of World War I with a swag of awards for bravery. He had survived being shot down in no man's land during the war and crawling back to English lines with bullet holes in both lungs. But the experience did little to dampen his enthusiasm for flying, and after the war he won a contract to launch the first scheduled air service in the country. The service was to change the lives of remote West Australians who had previously relied on boat and rail for mail and passenger transport.17th September 2021 – Home computing pioneer Sir Clive Sinclair dies passes away at 81 - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/sep/16/home-computing-pioneer-sir-clive-sinclair-dies-aged-81 Sir Clive Sinclair, the inventor and entrepreneur who was instrumental in bringing home computers to the masses. Sinclair invented the pocket calculator but was best known for popularising the home computer, bringing it to British high-street stores at relatively affordable prices. Many modern-day titans of the games industry got their start on one of his ZX models. For a certain generation of gamer, the computer of choice was either the ZX Spectrum 48K or its rival, the Commodore 64. Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX chief, commented on Twitter on an article calling Sir Clive the father of the ZX Spectrum: “RIP, Sir Sinclair. I loved that computer.” In the early 1970s he designed a series of calculators designed to be small and light enough to fit in the pocket at a time when most existing models were the size of an old-fashioned shop till. “He wanted to make things small and cheap so people could access them,” his daughter said. His first home computer, the ZX80, named after the year it appeared, revolutionised the market, although it was a far cry from today's models. At £79.95 in kit form and £99.95 assembled, it was about one-fifth of the price of other home computers at the time. It sold 50,000, units while its successor, the ZX81, which replaced it, cost £69.95 and sold 250,000. Many games industry veterans got their start typing programs into its touch-based keyboard and became hooked on games such as as 3D Monster Maze and Mazogs. Sinclair became a household name as his products flew off the shelves and was awarded a knighthood in 1983. But he would also become synonymous with one of his less successful inventions – the Sinclair C5 – which would cost him financially. He died from an illness related to cancer that he had for over a decade, in London.Remembrances14th September 1712 – Giovanni Domenico Cassini - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Domenico_CassiniAn Italian (naturalised French) mathematician, astronomer and engineer. Cassini was born in Perinaldo, near Imperia, at that time in the County of Nice, part of the Savoyard state. Cassini is known for his work on astronomy and engineering. He discovered four satellites of the planet Saturn and noted the division of the rings of Saturn; the Cassini Division was named after him. Giovanni Domenico Cassini was also the first of his family to begin work on the project of creating a topographic map of France. The Cassini space probe, launched in 1997, was named after him and became the fourth to visit the planet Saturn and the first to orbit the planet. Cassini observed and published surface markings on Mars (earlier seen by Christiaan Huygens but not published), determined the rotation periods of Mars and Jupiter, and discovered four satellites of Saturn: Iapetus and Rhea in 1671 and 1672, and Tethys and Dione (1684).Cassini was the first to observe these four moons, which he called Sidera Lodoicea (the stars of Louis), including Iapetus, whose anomalous variations in brightness he correctly ascribed as being due to the presence of dark material on one hemisphere (now called Cassini Regio in his honour). In addition he discovered the Cassini Division in the rings of Saturn (1675). He shares with Robert Hooke credit for the discovery of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter (ca. 1665). Around 1690, Cassini was the first to observe differential rotation within Jupiter's atmosphere.Cassini initially held the Earth to be the centre of the Solar System, though later observations compelled him to accept the model of the Solar System proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus, and eventually that of Tycho Brahe. "In 1659 he presented a model of the planetary system that was in accord with the hypothesis of Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1661 he developed a method, inspired by Kepler's work, of mapping successive phases of solar eclipses; and in 1662 he published new tables of the sun, based on his observations at San Petronio." Cassini also rejected Newton's theory of gravity, after measurements he conducted which wrongly suggested that the Earth was elongated at its poles. More than forty years of controversy about the subject were closed in favour of Newton's theory after the measurements of the French Geodesic Mission (1736 to 1744) and the Lapponian expedition in 1737 led by Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis Cassini was also the first to make successful measurements of longitude by the method suggested by Galileo, using eclipses of the Galilean satellites as a clock.Attracted to the heavens in his youth, his first interest was in astrology. While young he read widely on the subject of astrology, and soon was very knowledgeable about it; this extensive knowledge of astrology led to his first appointment as an astronomer. Later in life he focused almost exclusively on astronomy and all but denounced astrology as he became increasingly involved in the Scientific Revolution.In 1653, Cassini, wishing to employ the use of a meridian line, sketched a plan for a new and larger meridian line but one that would be difficult to build. His calculations were precise; the construction succeeded perfectly; and its success gave Cassini a brilliant reputation for working with engineering and structural works.In the 1670s, Cassini began work on a project to create a topographic map of France, using Gemma Frisius's technique of triangulation. The project was continued by his son Jacques Cassini and eventually finished by his grandson César-François Cassini de Thury and published as the Carte de Cassini in 1789 or 1793. It was the first topographic map of an entire country.Famous Birthdays14th September 1921 – Paul Poberezny - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_PobereznyAmerican aviator, entrepreneur, and aircraft designer. He founded the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in 1953, and spent the greater part of his life promoting homebuilt aircraft. Poberezny is widely considered as the first person to have popularized the tradition of aircraft homebuilding in the United States. Through his work founding EAA and the organization's annual convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, he had the reputation of helping inspire millions of people to get involved in grassroots aviation. Many attribute his legacy with the growth and sustainment of the US general aviation industry in the later part of the 20th century and into the early 21st. For the last two decades of his tenure as chairman of the EAA from 1989–2009, he worked closely with his son, aerobatic pilot and former EAA president Tom Poberezny, to expand the organization and create several new programs within it, including an aviation education program for youth and the EAA Museum, among other initiatives. Poberezny was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1999, received the Wright Brothers Memorial Trophy in 2002, and was ranked fourth on Flying's list of the 51 Heroes of Aviation; he was the highest-ranked living person on the list at the time of its release. Poberezny founded the Experimental Aircraft Association out of his Hales Corners, Wisconsin home in 1953. It started as predominately an aircraft homebuilding organization in his basement, but later went on to capture all aspects of general aviation internationally.Poberezny flew over 500 aircraft types, including over 170 home-built planes throughout his life. He was introduced to aviation in 1936 at the age of 16 with the gift of a donated damaged WACO Primary Glider that he rebuilt and taught himself to fly. A high school teacher owned the glider and offered to pay Poberezny to repair it. He hauled it to his father's garage, borrowed books on building/repairing airplanes, and completed the restoration soon after. A friend used his car to tow the glider into the air with Poberezny at the controls; it rose to around a hundred feet when he released the tow rope and coasted to a gentle landing in a bed of alfalfa. A year later, Poberezny soloed at age 17 in a 1935 Porterfield and soon co-owned an American Eagle biplane.After returning home from World War II, Poberezny could not afford to buy his own aircraft, so he decided to build one himself. In 1955, he wrote a series of articles for the publication Mechanix Illustrated, where he described how an individual could buy a set of plans and build an airplane at home. In the magazine were also photos of himself fabricating the Baby Ace, an amateur-built aircraft (and the first to be marketed as a "homebuilt") that he bought the rights to for US$200 a few years prior. The articles became extremely popular and gave the concept of homebuilding worldwide acclaim.He designed, modified, and built several home-built aircraft, and had more than 30,000 hours of flight time in his career. Aircraft that he designed and built include:Acro Sport I & II"Little Audrey"Poberezny P-5 Pober SportPober Jr AcePober PixiePober Super AceHe was born in Leavenworth County, KansasEvents of Interest14th September 1914 – HMAS AE1, the Royal Australian Navy's first submarine, is lost at sea with all hands near East New Britain, Papua New Guinea. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAS_AE1#Deployment_and_loss At 07:00 on 14 September, AE1 departed Blanche Bay, Rabaul, to patrol off Cape Gazelle with HMAS Parramatta. When she had not returned by 20:00, several ships were dispatched to search for her. No trace of the submarine was found, and she was listed as lost with all hands. The disappearance was Australia's first major loss of World War I. After the discovery of the submarine in December 2017, Rear Admiral Peter Briggs, retired, said the likely cause of its loss was a diving accident. He added: The submarine appears to have struck the bottom with sufficient force to dislodge the fin from its footing, forcing it to hinge forward on its leading edge, impacting the casing. On 14 September 2018, a team of researchers headed by the National Maritime Museum director Kevin Sumption concluded their investigation into the sinking of AE1. They concluded that a ventilation valve, which was likely open to make the tropical conditions a little more bearable while the submarine was cruising on the surface near the Duke of York Islands, was insecure when the submarine dived, causing a flood of the submarine's engine room and total loss of control of the AE1. The submarine subsequently sank below 100 metres and imploded, killing everyone on board instantly.14th September 2007 – The Dark Hour premiered in Spain - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484273/ On this day in 2007 (in Spain), The Dark Hour enjoyed its theatrical release. The SciFi/Horror starred Omar Muñoz and Pepo Oliva, and here's the plot summary : "The eight year old boy Jesús has been living in a crumbling underground facility since he was born with eight survivors of an apocalyptic war: the leader Maria and her lover Pablo; the gays Lucas and Mateo; the astronomer Magdalena and the teenager Ana; the soldier Pedro and the lonely Judas. They are permanently under surveillance, threatened by the contaminated mutants The Strangers and once a day they have to lock themselves in their rooms without heating to protect against the dangerous ghosts The Invisibles that attack in the Cold Hour. They cannot go to the surface, destroyed by a nuclear war. When they need supplies, medications and ammunition, they organize expeditions to a store. When the menace of The Invisibles affects the safety of the group of survivors, they need to reach the surface."IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/Email - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comSupport via Podhero- https://podhero.com/podcast/449127/nerds-amalgamated See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Saturn's stunning rings make it the easiest planet to recognize, but it still has secrets!  From ancient cultures that watched the skies, to modern scientists who send machines into space, humans are passionately curious about the gas giant. What is Saturn? Is there something more going on with this unusual planet.  From hexagonal storms to possible spacecraft sitings within the rings what is the role of this gigantically beautiful planet. I was sent an anonymous letter which I read that describes the saturn moon matrix and its possible role in controlling the holographic matrix of the planet earth. Is it true and how do we respond to this spiritually? For more on q'uo check out llresearch.org Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V This information is mindblowing.  Music by Mettaverse 639hz heart chakranocturnethe light holdersa still mindfield of onenessjourney through the multiverse777hx deep relaxationlangage of lightinto the omniverseinner worldswhen all else fades  ➤ Listen to them on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2KjGlLI➤ Follow them on Instagram: http://bit.ly/2JW8BU2➤ Join them on Facebook: http://bit.ly/2G1j7G6➤ Support their Work at Patreon: http://bit.ly/2TXQhu3➤ Subscribe to their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyvjffON2NoUvX5q_TgvVkw For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinsitute.com #quo #harvest #lawofone #ramaterial #newearth #dolorescannon #greatawakening

Iapetus is overrun by Exsurgents and discarded TITAN machinery. Firewall maintains a base to destroy Exsurgents and stop TITAN artifact smugglers. Unfortunately, the base, codenamed CARIBOUS ABYSS, has broken down into bickering factions. A team of agents has been sent into mediate between the two factions and resolve their dispute over disarming a TITAN artifact that could potentially restart the Fall.

Sam calls in a favor from Winterfell to bring you a ridiculously special guest reading for an exclusive Steel Legion Podcast premiere: the short story, "The Gravedigger" by Matt Cerami of Iapetus. "The Gravedigger" is an original short story that Matt wrote as source material for the latest Iapetus album, The Body Cosmic (and more specifically, for the song "The Star of Collapse"). Thanks and enjoy!

Sam sits down with Jared Christianson (of Arkaik), Matt Cerami (of Iapetus), and Stevie Boiser (of Inferi, Equipoise, Tethys, and Ashen Horde) for a round-table discussion on the intersection of current events and the metal community. The group tackles some big questions: How has the COVID19 pandemic effected metal bands, venues, and fans? How little do metal musicians earn from their music being streamed vs purchased? What is the role of a metal in the recent protests against racial injustice? Thanks, and enjoy!

Sam sits down with returning guests Matt and Jordan of Iapetus for an in-depth discussion about their mind-blowing new album, "The Body Cosmic". We break down the ridiculous guest musicians they brought together for this album, the lyrical/narrative concepts, the Cormac McCarthy influences, and the ire/laugh-inducing bodily sounds that Matt's former boss would make. Finally we close things out with their new song, "For Creatures Such as We". Thanks and enjoy!

Vermont is the focus of our 16th episode here at the Make America Grape Again podcast.  Barely more than a stub of a Wikipedia page, Vermont so far has only seven wineries, and a very recent beginning, with the first commercial vineyard there being only since 1997.  But boy howdy, have they been running to catch up with the rest; the wine we selected for the first episode examining the viticultural industry in this state has absolutely blown me away.  It is not every day that I meet a wine that can single-handedly make me doubt my commitment to Arizona viticulture, but the 2017 Tectonic from Iapetus Wine (a label from Shelburne Vineyard) has done just that.   The 2017 Tectonic is our vintage introduction to a number of new wine concepts, as well as a continuation of some themes we explored in our last episode about Wisconsin wine. This vintage is an all-natural, skin-contact wine made from a grape called La Crescent.  We touched upon natural wines a little bit in our first California episode; to explore the idea further, these wines can be roughly defined (since there is no official legal definition as of yet) as wines that are farmed as organically as possible, and are made/transformed without adding or removing anything while in the cellar.  The idea is that these wines are fermented using the natural yeast growing on the grape, without any additives or processing aids, and that intervention in the fermentation is kept to a minimum. These wines are not fined, nor filtered, and it can be argued that the result is a wine that is "alive"--still full of naturally occurring microbiology and the truest expression of the terroir of a region possible.   Like the Seyval Blanc we examined in our last episode, La Crescent is a complex American hybrid varietal, and one which is very recent; only developed by the University of Minnesota and released in 2002.  The genetics for this grape look like something out of a Habsburg family tree: with ancestry including Vitis vinifera, riparia, rupestris, labrusca and aestivalis. Saint-Pepin, and a Muscat of Hamburg crossing feature among this grape's progenitors. (I really wish I still had the genetics diagram I referenced when recording this wine--I lost it somewhere. Alas.)  Also like Seyval Blanc, this grape is a white wine varietal; to make a Skin-contact wine such as the 2017 Tectonic (also known as Amber wines or Orange wines),  the grape skins are not removed from the must, (unlike in as in typical white wine production) and instead remain in contact with the juice for days or even months. As in red wines, these skins provide pigments and tannins to the resulting vintage. This is actually a very ancient style of wine, dating back at an absolute minimum of about 6,000 years in the Caucasus Mountains.   That, in my mind, is one of the coolest things about the 2017 Iapetus: it is made from an ancient style of production for one of the newest-developed grape varietals out there.  I look forward to hopefully trying more wines from this label: Ethan Joseph is doing some pretty cool stuff up there in Vermont. While I first encountered this wine via a #winestudio event on Twitter, this bottle was provided to me through the kindness of Elizabeth Krecker who purchased this wine for me directly from the vineyard when she visited New England earlier this year.

The planet Saturn offers far more than rings to those who venture within its gravitational influence. This wind-swept gas giant also holds sway over no fewer than 53 moons, including such wonders as the atmosphere-shrouded Titan, two-faced Iapetus and sponge-like Hyperion.

This week we recorded a bit early due to real life stuff. As such, we have a lot of asides in our discussions. We still talk about some news. Like the new Ulver song, Mastodon's Brent Hinds claiming Judas Priest aren't metal, new Carach Angren, and Iapetus. The underrated release Eden highlights is Atsuko Chiba's Jinn. We then have an extended discussion on "the cult of the new", and finally an extended discussion on Logan, the send-off to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. Bonus points if you figure out why I keep saying "we got the money shot".

Returning guest Dr. Kelsi Singer talks about two of the icy moons of our solar system, Ganymede and Iapetus. She talks about the types of craters we see on their surfaces, and what they can teach us about the moons themselves.

The 11th program in the ORIGINS series is about locally made items for your pantry – salt, vinegar and cooking oil. All three makers are working in the Chesapeake watershed area. We are pleased to welcome Paige Payne from JQ Dickinson Salt Works. Paige, along with her husband Lewis and sister-in-law Nancy Bruns are 7th generation salt makers. Their brine source is the 400-600 million year old ancient sea, the Iapetus ocean. Sarah Conezio and Isaiah Billington, former pastry chef and chef de cuisine, accordingly, of Woodberry Kitchen in Baltimore, Maryland, recently founded Keepwell Vinegar. They use locally-sourced grains, fruits, and vegetable to fuel their fermentation process. Josh Leidhecker is the owner of the Susquehanna Mills Company in Montoursville, Pennsylvania. Josh provides locally grown, non GMO food oils that are mechanically pressed to create healthier oils that maintain higher level of nutrients.

A journey to outer space has many dangers and challenges; but for those courageous astronauts, the trip might be worthwhile. Some of the planets and moons in the Solar System have views that are really, but really, out of this world: The Caloris Basin, Iapetus and Miranda.

fiveofthebest.podomatic.com new episode 12 th march still traveling and having little trouble,  will try to add pics tomorrow     Satelittes           Satellites operate in extreme temperatures from −150 °C (−238 °F) to 150 °C (300 °F) and may be subject to radiation in space. Satellite components that can be exposed to radiation are shielded with aluminium and other radiation-resistant material     Communication satellites range from microsatellites weighing less than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) to large satellites weighing over 6,500 kg (14,000 pounds). Advances in miniaturization and digitalization have substantially increased the capacity of satellites over the years. Early Bird had just one transponder capable of sending just one TV channel. The Boeing 702 series of satellites, in contrast, can have more than 100 transponders, and with the use of digital compression technology each transponder can have up to 16 channels, providing more than 1,600 TV channels through one satellite.     A signal that is bounced off a GEO satellite takes approximately 0.22 second to travel at the speed of light from Earth to the satellite and back. This delay poses some problems for applications such as voice services and mobile telephony. Therefore, most mobile and voice services usually use LEO   Satellites face competition from other media such as fibre optics, cable, and other land-based delivery systems such as microwaves and even power lines. The main advantage of satellites is that they can distribute signals from one point to many locations. As such, satellite technology is ideal for “point-to-multipoint” communications such as broadcasting. Satellite communication does not require massive investments on the ground   The Intelsat spans theToday there are approximately 150 communication satellites in orbit with over 100 in geosynchronous orbit. globe, and domestic satellites such as the USSR's Molniya satellites. Western Union's Westar, and Canada's Anik - serve individual countries. The Intelsat V is the latest in its space-craft series, it can handle 12,000 telephone circuits and two color television transmission simultaneously.     Which of the following whirls around the Earth at 5 miles per second? Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope is named after Edwin Hubble (1889-1953). Hubble's Law (also named after Edwin Hubble) is a theory that suggests that there is a constantly expanding universe.     Weather Satellites     The first weather satellite was launched on February 17, 1959. What was the name of this satellite? Vanguard 2. Vanguard 2 was designed to measure cloud cover, however, this satellite was poor in collecting data as a poor axis and rotation kept it from collecting meaningful information. TIROS-1 which was launched by NASA in 1960, was the first successful weather satellite and operated for 78 days.   THE MOON     The prevailing hypothesis today is that the Earth–Moon system formed as a result of agiant impact, where a Mars-sized body (named Theia) collided with the newly formed proto-Earth, blasting material into orbit around it that accreted to form the Moon.[20] This hypothesis perhaps best explains the evidence, although not perfectly.   The Moon is drifting away from the Earth:The Moon is moving approximately 3.8 cm away from our planet every year. It is estimated that it will continue to do so for around 50 billion years. By the time that happens, the Moon will be taking around 47 days to orbit the Earth instead of the current 27.3 days.   Evolution of moon  7 min http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuHasBN-U1c 4 min good video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSV98i0jzro   STRANGE SATELLITES   Lapetus moon   Iapetus was discovered by Giovanni Domenico Cassini, an Italian–French astronomer, in October 1671  Cassini correctly surmised that Iapetus has a bright hemisphere and a dark hemisphere, and that it is tidally locked, always keeping the same face towards Saturn. This means that the bright hemisphere is visible from Earth when Iapetus is on the western side of Saturn, and that the dark hemisphere is visible when Iapetus is on the eastern side. The dark hemisphere was later named Cassini Regio in his honour.     A further mystery of Iapetus is the equatorial ridge that runs along the center of Cassini Regio, about 1,300 km long, 20 km wide, 13 km high. It was discovered when the Cassini spacecraft imaged Iapetus on December 31, 2004. Peaks in the ridge rise more than 20 km above the surrounding plains, making them some of the tallest mountains in the Solar System. The ridge forms a complex system including isolated peaks, segments of more than 200 km and sections with three near parallel ridges.[27           MIMAS Mimas is a moon of Saturn which was discovered in 1789 by William Herschel.[8] It is named after Mimas, a son of Gaia in Greek mythology, and is also designated Saturn I. With a diameter of 396 kilometres (246 mi) it is the twentieth-largest moon in the Solar System and is the smallest astronomical body that is known to be rounded in shape because of self-gravitation.     The surface area of Mimas is slightly less than the land area of Spain. The low density of Mimas, 1.15 g/cm³, indicates that it is composed mostly of water ice with only a small amount of rock.   TRITON Triton is unique among all large moons in the Solar System for its retrograde orbit around its planet (i.e., it orbits in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation). Most of the outer irregular moons of Jupiter and Saturn also have retrograde orbits, as do some ofUranus's outer moons. However, these moons are all much more distant from their primaries, and are small in comparison; the largest of them (Phoebe)[f] has only 8% of the diameter (and 0.03% of the mass) of Triton.       HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE       Launch: April 24, 1990 from space shuttle Discovery (STS-31) Deployment: April 25, 1990 Mission Duration: Up to 20 years Servicing Mission 1: December 1993 Servicing Mission 2: February 1997 Servicing Mission 3A: December 1999 Servicing Mission 3B: February 2002 Servicing Mission 4: May 2009 Size Length: 43.5 ft (13.2 m)Weight: 24,500 lb (11,110 kg) Maximum Diameter: 14 ft (4.2 m) Cost at Launch $1.5 billion Spaceflight Statistics Orbit: At an altitude of 307 nautical miles (569 km, or 353 miles), inclined 28.5 degrees to the equator (low-Earth orbit)Time to Complete One Orbit: 97 minutes Speed: 17,500 mph (28,000 kph) Optical Capabilities Hubble Can't Observe: The Sun or Mercury, which is too close to the Sun Sensitivity to Light: Ultraviolet through infrared (115—2500 nanometers) First Image: May 20, 1990: Star Cluster NGC 3532 Data Statistics Hubble transmits about 120 gigabytes of science data every week.

Saturn is the most beautiful planet in our Solar System. Famous for its bright yet ethereal rings, the gas giant has over sixty natural satellites in orbit around it - and one artificial satellite: NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which provides many of the results and images that will be showcased in this talk. We shall explore the weather observed in the atmosphere of Saturn, the curious structures that develop within the rings, and its wide variety of moons - from smog-shrouded Titan, two-sided Iapetus, to busy Prometheus, and the icy plumes erupting from frozen Enceladus.

A sub-satellite of the Saturnian moon would explain two of the most puzzling features of Iapetus. John Matson reports

Transcript: Enceladus is a modest but important moon of Saturn. Smaller than Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, and Tethys, it is only 500 kilometers in diameter. It has an unusual combination of old crater terrain and smooth icy planes. This moon forms a link between the old cratered surfaces on a moon like Ganymede and the smooth icy surfaces on a moon like Europa. Tidal heating has apparently caused watery eruptions that have resurfaced half of the surface of Enceladus. The icy regions of Enceladus are extremely reflective of light, reflecting 90 percent of the incident light. These bright regions of Enceladus are as white as a field of snow.

In the mysteries of Greek mythology, Prometheus creates mankind, steals fire for him, and is punished by Zeus. Afterwards, the first woman, Pandora, is created, and brings her famous vase (mistakenly called Pandora's box), filled with importance for the future of humanity. Far from being mere inventions of primitive minds, these stories are profound vessels that impart esoteric knowedge to those who know how to interpret them correctly. Learn about the psychological and spiritual importance of these stories and their relationship with the Bible, Adam and Eve, Kabbalah, and most importantly, why we are suffering, and how to change our life for a better one. "There are two urns (pithoi) that stand on the door-sill of Zeus. They are unlike for the gifts they bestow: an urn of evils (kakoi), an urn of blessings (dôroi). If Zeus who delights in thunder mingles these and bestows them on man, he shifts, and moves now in evil, again in good fortune. But when Zeus bestows from the urn of sorrows, he makes a failure of man, and the evil hunger drives him over the shining earth, and he wanders respected neither of gods nor mortals. - Homer, The Iliad The gods keep hidden from men the means of life... Zeus in the anger of his heart hid it, because Prometheus the crafty deceived him; therefore he planned sorrow and mischief against men. He hid fire; but that the noble son of Iapetus stole again for men from Zeus the counsellor in a hollow fennel-stalk, so that Zeus who delights in thunder did not see it. But afterwards Zeus who gathers the clouds said to him in anger : `Son of Iapetos, surpassing all in cunning, you are glad that you have outwitted me and stolen fire--a great plague to you yourself and to men that shall be. But I will give men as the price for fire an evil thing in which they may all be glad of heart while they embrace their own destruction.' So said the father of men and gods, and laughed aloud. And he bade famous Hephaistos make haste and mix earth with water and to put in it the voice and strength of human kind, and fashion a sweet, lovely maiden-shape, like to the immortal goddesses in face; and Athene to teach her needlework and the weaving of the varied web; and golden Aphrodite to shed grace upon her head and cruel longing and cares that weary the limbs. And he charged Hermes the guide, the Slayer of Argus, to put in her a shameless mind and a deceitful nature. So he ordered. And they obeyed the lord Zeus the son of Kronos. Forthwith the famous Lame God moulded clay in the likeness of a modest maid, as the son of Kronos purposed. And the goddess bright-eyed Athene girded and clothed her, and the divine Kharites (Graces) and queenly Peitho (Persuasion) put necklaces of gold upon her, and the rich-haired Horai (Seasons) crowned her head with spring flowers.
