Ever wanted to walk all the way around PEI? The people you'll meet today have all tackled the 700km Island Walk - and all have personal reasons for this calorie-burning pilgrimage. Producer Laura Meader breaks a (tiny) sweat as she catches up with a few of them in her documentary, 700 Kilometres. This story first aired on Atlantic Voice in December 2023.

Cleanup efforts are continuing across Clare following Storm Éowyn. Last night over 30,000 homes, farms and businesses remained without power for a second day following one of the most severe weather events the county has seen. At the height of the storm, Shannon Airport recorded gusts of 137 Kilometres an hour, while over 44,000 premises in Clare were left without electricity. At lunchtime yesterday as the weather alert expired this number reduced to 37,000 and as of this morning power has been restored to 14,000 premises. ESB crews were out again at first light this morning with the assistance of helicopter crews to identify major damages and outages. ESB Technical Manager, Michael Sammin, says additional crews have been deployed to help restore power to priority areas of the network, which will aid in wider restoration efforts which will continue through the weekend.

As political tensions escalated across Europe in the years leading up to the First World War, the major powers engaged in an aerial arms race to develop their airships into war-winning weapons. Britain, Italy, France and Germany watched each other's progress with fear and alarm. Britain struggled to keep up with its continental rivals. Italy was the only country to deploy airships in combat pre-WW1. France built a large fleet but didn't know what to do with it. Germany, of course, dominated the skies but experienced several devastating crashes that claimed the lives of many of their valuable experienced airshipmen. By the time war erupted in the summer of 1914, airshipmen around the world faced an uncertain future. What role would these lighter-than-air giants play in the conflicts to come? Join us as we explore the story of how airships prepared for war - an era marked by ambition, innovation and no small measure of calamity.

A pig in Hong Kong just underwent surgery - which might not seem strange until you learn that the surgeon operating on the pig did so from 9,300 kilometres away. While telehealth became more common during the COVID-19 pandemic, it's still the norm that a surgeon needs to be physically present for operations. In a massive leap forward for telesurgery and published in the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems,  the endoscopy was performed by a researcher sitting in Zurich, Switzerland showcasing how cutting-edge technology and a superfast internet connection can bridge huge distances in medical procedures. The anesthetised pig had a specially designed endoscope inserted into its stomach by local surgeons in Hong Kong. The endoscope's magnetic head allowed it to be bent in any direction, making it smaller and easier to manoeuvre than traditional devices. It was also equipped with a tiny gripper, allowing scientists to take tissue samples from the stomach wall remotely. The endoscope was controlled using a PlayStation controller which maneuverer it with only a 300-millisecond delay. This smaller, more manoeuvrable endoscope holds great promise for future medical procedures, especially as it could be used in human patients via the nose instead of the mouth which would be more comfortable for patients, require lighter sedation, and be a better solution for children. Telesurgery has been tested before, when scientists on Earth successfully operated a surgical robot on the International Space Station (ISS), however that experiment involved a much shorter distance of only 400 kilometres. As for the pig, it came through the procedure unscathed, blissfully unaware of the ground-breaking role it played in advancing medical science.

Magmatic Resources Ltd (ASX:MAG) managing director Adam McKinnon joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio after sampling confirmed copper potential over a 6 kilometre trend at the Black Ridge prospect of ther Parkes Project. Strong results have been returned from recent rock chip sampling along the trend, including up to 6.5% copper from minor unnamed workings at the southern end of the trend. This work is part of the company's increased exploration activities across its East Lachlan projects, following a Farm-in and JV Agreement at the Myall Project with Fortescue and successful placements in March and May 2024. Black Ridge prospect, 15 kilometres southeast of the Northparkes Copper-Gold Mine, displays surface copper-gold-silver anomalism over a six-kilometre zone parallel to the Parkes Thrust. Historic small-scale workings and outcropping copper mineralisation characterise the area, which has shown promising rock chip sampling results. Despite these findings, the trend remains largely untested below the surface, with only three closely spaced RC holes drilled previously. Further work at Black Ridge includes mapping, soil sampling, rock chip sampling and a 23 line-kilometre induced polarisation (IP) survey starting in August to identify priority drill targets. Magmatic is well-positioned to accelerate exploration efforts at Parkes with funding secured through the Fortescue JV and $6.34 million cash at hand at the end of the last quarter. #ProactiveInvestors #MagmaticResources #ASX #ParkesProject #ExplorationUpdate #CopperGold #BlackRidge #NorthparkesMine #GeophysicalSurvey #MineralExploration #RockChipSampling #InducedPolarisation #MyallProject #FortescueJV #Mining #ResourceDevelopment #MineralProspecting #CopperAnomalism #GeologicalSurvey #MiningNews #ExplorationEfforts #ResourceSector #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Four seasons have passed since Justin Barbour set off on Expedition Northeast. He left Hudson Bay last summer, with the goal of trekking 3,800 through the vast Canadian wilderness, across Labrador and all the way home to Newfoundland - the longest solo journey ever attempted through Northeast Canada. Earlier this month, Barbour finished his incredible journey - at Newfoundland's southernmost point, Cape Pine.

If disturbance kills those taller plants, replacements regrow from the ground and add to the fuel. Prescribed burns are a fire mitigation tool used with the aim of reducing fuel load to minimise the intensity and severity of fires.  However, while prescribed burns can sometimes decrease flammability in the short term, the way they disrupt forest ecosystems can create longer periods of additional flammability.  “Very frequent burning close to homes or control lines could create defendable spaces, but large, remote and infrequent burns maintain the landscape at maximum fire risk because they undermine the natural controls that forests place on fire," Associate Professor Zylstra said. The remote areas that burn have often been extensively logged eg Eden NSWRECENT MESSAGE FROM BOB BROWN FOUNDATION JULY1STAn end to native forest logging should have happened more than a decade ago but this list is another killing plan to feed export woodchippers, Malaysian timber company Ta Ann, and Victorian sawmills that have no social licence,” Jenny Weber, Bob Brown Foundation's Campaigns Manager said.“Kilometres of new wilderness-destroying roads will be slashed into ancient forests that have never seen a chainsaw, including taxpayer-funded roads into untouched Takayna rainforests and 6km into the Wentworth Hills near Lake St Clair. Clearfell operations in areas essential to the critically- endangered migratory Swift Parrot have been drafted despite the threat that poses to the species,” said Erik Hayward, Bob Brown Foundation Campaigner. “Lines on maps have been drawn that carve up some of the most remarkable natural landscapes this globe has to offer. For the defence of our natural world we will remain committed and defiant in the face of this complete abandon,” said Erik Hayward.“Over the last six weeks, hundreds of Australians joined the largest protest against native forest logging in Tasmania in the last decade, in Takayna. Prime Minister Albanese needs to immediately put an end to such native forest logging in Australia, which is requested by more than 75% of Labor's voters,” said Jenny Weber. Don't look away from methane :  An investigation by ACF and the global non-profit Clean Air Task Force last year detected methane escaping from more than 100 sources at 35 industrial sites in Queensland and NSW.  “When it comes to rapidly reducing Australia's most potent climate heating pollution, cutting methane emissions from the coal and gas industry is low hanging fruit.”Methane emissions are believed to account for about 30% of the global temperature rise(link is external) since the industrial revolution.  David Rovics' new album of songs was composed between October and December 2023He says "  I wrote them to bear witness to the genocide of the Palestinian people that continues by the hour as I publish this album."Hear the drones above your headWhat were the last words that she saidBefore she joined the thousands deadAs the bombs rain down

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 29th of April, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Revelation 5:11-12: “Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain…” What a day it will be when you and I meet the Lord Jesus Christ, face to face, in Heaven! It's going to be amazing, folks, I tell you what. You know, I can only just….I haven't even got a glimpse of it but I want to relate something to you. On this little farm, Shalom, I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, approximately 450 thousand men worshipping and praising the Lord and saying, “Amen”, like a gunshot going off. You know that Greytown, the little town next to our farm, is approximately 15 Kilometres from this farm - they could hear us in Greytown! But I want to say to you, that was only maybe close on half a million men. What is it going to sound like when thousands, ten thousand times ten thousands are worshipping the Son of God and worshipping Him and thanking Him, the One who died for your sins and for my sins?Maybe as you are listening to this message you are driving in your motorcar or maybe you are sitting in your home by yourself, and maybe you are feeling a bit down and a bit hard-done-by. I want to encourage you to start worshipping the Lord. Start singing to Jesus, start praising His name and you will be surprised how that heaviness will lift up off you and you will have freedom. Just thank Him. “Thank Him for what?” you say. Thank Him that you are alive, thank Him that you have got a future, thank Him for dying for you, thank Him for the soon-coming time when we will meet together in Heaven, all of us and our loved ones, and we will praise the Lord together with one voice. What a day that will be! I can't wait. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma debate who should be India's wicketkeeper for the Men's T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and America. India have potentially seven options who could take the gloves. Rishabh Pant is the frontrunner after having a stellar season so far in the Indian Premier League for the Delhi Capitals, but he has not played for India since being involved in a car accident in December 2022, where he injured his knee. Other names to consider are KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Dinesh Karthik.   Plus, we speak to Adelaide Oval Head Curator Damian Hough who has been tasked with creating the pitches that will be used in America at the World Cup including the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan. He shares his experiences of starting the process in Adelaide and details the plans transporting the pitches 2,000 kilometres from Florida to New York.And after Freddie Flintoff's sons are hitting the headlines in England for their cricketing skills, we look at cricketing families around the world and look at the pressure that brings.

“How far can you push your mind and body? You can probably push it farther than you can think.” When faced with some of the bigger decisions in life, ask yourself, “In 20 years, when I look back, will I regret not doing this?” If the answer is yes, then you have your decision. This is advice from today's guest, Bryan Gilette. He's a man who left a successful career as a Human Resources executive to start his own coaching business and never looked back. He also cycled across the United States, and later, 205 miles (329 Kilometres) around Lake Tahoe. Bryan helps people break through their boundaries and think bigger. Bryan believes it's our thoughts that determine our boundaries and that if you can find what you love and what you're good at, you will find success. Expert action steps: Ask yourself, “will I regret doing this in 20 or 30 years down the road?” Identity a few things you want to do before you leave the planet. Choose one of them and write down one thing you can do in the next 72 hours that will move you forward. Repeat for your next goal. Bryan has written Epic Performance: Lessons from 100 Executives & Endurance Athletes on Reaching Your Peak. The book provides a framework for simplifying the steps to take toward your biggest dreams and goals. You can find it on Amazon or at epicperformances.com.
