When Patty Mercier jumped in Loren Upton's 1966 Jeep CJ5, she knew she was in for an adventure. The man behind the wheel was on his fourth attempt to cross the Darién Gap. The first three trips had ended in death and disaster, but Upton, an intrepid adventurer, would not be deterred. In addition to his determination to cross the treacherous Darién Gap entirely on land, Upton had raised the stakes on this voyage. For his fourth attempt, he decried that he would drive one American-made vehicle around the world. The route would be from North America's Northernmost point to South America's southernmost point. The only water crossing would be the South Atlantic. They would continue from the Southernmost point in Africa to the Northernmost point in Norway. The trip started in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, on 15 June 1984. They traveled more than 56,000 miles and took five years to complete the drive around the world. The crossing of the 125-mile Darién Gap was an astonishing 741 days. The Sand Ship Discovery, the name that Upton gave his intrepid Jeep, reached the Sletness Lighthouse near Gamvik, Norway, on 4 July 1989.The couple earned a citation in the 1992 Guinness Book of Records for the “First All-Land Crossing Of The Infamous Darien Gap From Yauiza, Republic of Panama to Ríosucio, Colombia 22 February 1985 to 4 March 1987.”Loren Lee Upton died at 87 years old on 9 August 2022Patty Upton is searching for a museum to house Sand Ship Discovery, the 1966 CJ5, and for a writer to capture the story of their around-the-world drive.

Send us a textThe representative for the northernmost state house district in the United States is Rep. Robyn Frier (D-Utqiagvik). Robyn was born and raised in Utqiagvik. She served on the North Slope Borough School Board for four years, the last two as President. In 2024, she ran to represent House District 40, and won, defeating the incumbent Thomas Baker, as well as the former mayor of Kotzebue Saima Chase who had won the primary. Today we talk about her childhood, her journey into politics, and her experiences during her first year in the legislature.

Estonia's landscape is dominated by forests and lakes. Nearly half the country is covered by dense woodlands, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The bogs, wetlands, and national parks preserve pristine ecosystems that feel untouched by time. Lahemaa National Park is particularly famous for its coastal villages and manors. Estonia's natural beauty invites visitors to slow down and reconnect with nature.The Estonian people take pride in their language, which belongs to the Finno-Ugric family, closely related to Finnish. This sets Estonia apart from its Baltic neighbors, whose languages are Indo-European. Estonian is filled with rhythm and melody, and its preservation became a symbol of independence. Folk songs are treasured, and the country hosts massive song festivals. Music is more than entertainment—it is national identity.Estonia's “Singing Revolution” of the late 1980s is legendary. Tens of thousands gathered in Tallinn to sing forbidden patriotic songs under Soviet rule. These peaceful protests shook the foundations of the Soviet Union. By 1991, Estonia regained independence, thanks to the courage of its people and the power of culture. It is a reminder that unity and art can overcome oppression. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Ingrid Piller speaks with Sari Pietikainen about her new book Cold Rush (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024). This book is an original study of “Cold Rush,” an accelerated race for the extraction and protection of Arctic natural resources. The Northernmost reach of the planet is caught up in the double developments of two unfinished forces – rapidly progressing climate change and global economic investment - working simultaneously in tension and synergy. Neither process is linear or complete, but both are contradictory and open-ended. This book traces the multiplicity of Cold Rush in the Finnish Arctic, a high-stakes ecological, economic, and political hotspot. It is a heterogeneous space, understood as indigenous land within local indigenous Sámi people politics, the last frontier from a colonial perspective, and a periphery under the modernist nation-state regime. It is now transforming into an economic hub under global capitalism, intensifying climate change and unforeseen geo-political changes. Based on six years of ethnography, the book shows how people struggle, strategize, and profit from this ongoing, complex, and multidirectional change. The author offers a new theoretical approach called critical assemblage analysis, which provides an alternative way of exploring the dynamics between language and society by examining the interaction between material, discursive, and affective dimensions of Cold Rush. The approach builds on previous work at the intersection of critical discourse analysis, critical sociolinguistics, nexus analysis and ethnography, but expands toward works by philosophers Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari. This book will be of interest to researchers on language, discourse, and sociolinguistics interested in engaging with social critique embedded in global capitalism and accelerating climate change; as well as researchers in the social and human sciences and natural sciences, who are increasingly aware of the fact that the theoretical and analytical move beyond the traditional dichotomies like language/society, nature/human and micro/macro is central to understanding today´s complex, intertwined social, political, economic and ecological processes.

In this inspiring episode of IsraelCast, host Steven Shalowitz welcomes back Dr. Tsvi Sheleg, Deputy Director of the Galilee Medical Center (GMC), to discuss the groundbreaking innovations and unwavering resilience of Israel's northernmost hospital. Broadcasting from just five miles south of the Lebanese border, Dr. Sheleg reveals how GMC transformed wartime challenges into opportunities for technological and humanitarian leadership. Dr. Sheleg—an accomplished ophthalmologist, medical administrator, and decorated Israel Defense Forces officer—shares how GMC's underground, missile-proof facilities enabled continuous care during recent conflicts. He also spotlights the hospital's innovation hub, “GMC Playground,” which has launched dozens of health-tech collaborations and startups, with support from Microsoft and Viz.ai. A vocal champion of diversity, Dr. Sheleg describes how Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Circassians work side-by-side at GMC, treating soldiers and civilians alike—including over 3,000 wounded Syrians during their civil war. His call to action is clear: support Israel's Galilee, where health-tech meets heart, and where healing transcends borders.   Dr. Tsvi Sheleg, MD, MBA, serves as Deputy Director of the Galilee Medical Center, overseeing emergency preparedness and founding the hospital's renowned Innovation Program. An ophthalmologist by training, he continues to perform cataract surgeries and was recognized for his leadership as COVID-19 project manager. A decorated IDF officer, Dr. Sheleg serves as medical director of the IDF Field Hospital and has led humanitarian missions to Haiti, Nepal, and Turkey. He earned his medical degree from Ben-Gurion University and an executive MBA from Tel Aviv University. Born in Tel Aviv, he lives in Mitzpe Hila with his wife and two children.

Once upon a time, I lived in the Arctic. In the Northernmost human settlement on Earth that has more polar bears than humans. In the dark polar night, I had one of the hardest and also the most extraordinary experiences of my entire life. Only later did I realise that my life in the Arctic was my major Rite of Passage that shaped the woman I am today.    Years ago, I was so eager to launch my coaching business – I had a huge vision and a thousand euros to my name. I knew that I could not lead people through transformation from a place of needing money in order to survive. So, destiny led me to taking on a job in a place called Svalbard. I arrived there one month before the Polar Night began.   I worked at a bar by night. I lived a magical ritual-filled priestess life by day. When the Polar Night began, the moon would never set – it was already travelling around the skyline. Days blended into darkness; the landscape felt both desolate and breathtaking. I grappled with deep loneliness, seeking connection online while surrounded by an icy, barren world.   In this episode, I share my naked heart about all that happened in this surreal phase of my life. From collapsing on the kitchen floor, freefalling into my deepest fears, to finding the most profound love for myself and God I didn't know existed.   This experience completely transformed me. I returned feeling whole. I left the Arctic feeling… invincible; knowing that if I could hold myself living literally at the end of the world, I could do anything.    In the wake of this transformative journey, life picked up pace. I moved to Thailand, entered a beautiful long-term relationship, went straight to 6 figures in my first year in business, and broke cycles that no longer served me.   It's a tale that will feature prominently in my book, and I hope the wisdom I gleaned resonates with you. Thanks for staying through this journey with me. If you want to share your thoughts, feel free to DM me on Instagram. I appreciate you being here and can't wait for our next episode together.   HIGHLIGHTS How living and working in the Arctic was a pivotal experience that shaped personal and professional growth. Balancing passion and financial limitations while striving to launch a coaching business, highlighting the challenges and sacrifices made. Discovering inner strength through spiritual practices amidst a barren landscape of stark isolation and challenges faced in Svalbard  A profound moment of reckoning which was a catalyst for self-discovery, acceptance, and a radical shift in perspective. How the Arctic experience sparked personal transformation, leading to newfound self-love, a return to wholeness, and subsequent success in both business and personal life.   DIVE DEEPER INTO MY WORLD Say hi to me on Insta Body-Led Business Movement somatic practice [free practice]   YOU MAY ALSO ENJOY: The CHARACTER qualities that all my most successful clients share Idendity Work is the Root of Scaling your Business

When Patty Mercier jumped in Loren Upton's 1966 Jeep CJ5, she knew she was in for an adventure. The man behind the wheel was on his fourth attempt to cross the Darién Gap. The first three trips had ended in death and disaster, but Upton, an intrepid adventurer, would not be deterred.  In addition to his determination to cross the treacherous Darién Gap entirely on land, Upton had raised the stakes on this voyage. For his fourth attempt, he decried that he would drive one American-made vehicle around the world. The route would be from North America's Northernmost point to South America's southernmost point. The only water crossing would be the South Atlantic. They would continue from the Southernmost point in Africa to the Northernmost point in Norway.  The trip started in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, on 15 June 1984. They traveled more than 56,000 miles and took five years to complete the drive around the world. The crossing of the 125-mile Darién Gap was an astonishing 741 days. The Sand Ship Discovery, the name that Upton gave his intrepid Jeep, reached the Sletness Lighthouse near Gamvik, Norway, On 4 July 1989. The couple earned a citation in the 1992 Guinness Book of Records for the “First All-Land Crossing Of The Infamous Darien Gap From Yauiza Republic of Panama to Riosucio, Columbia 22 February 1985 to 4 March 1987.” Loren Lee Upton died at 87 years old on 9 August 2022 Patty Upton is searching for a museum to house Sand Ship Discovery, the 1966 CJ5, and for a writer to capture the story of their around-the-world drive.

For many enthusiasts, a long journey in an RV is ‘the destination.' So when you travel as far north as the Northwest Territories, ‘the destination' practically never ends given the number of scenic highways and natural attractions to experience. When visiting the country's largest territory, it's best - and wise - to have a detailed travel plan and a good starting point is the Great Slave Route and the lake of the same name.What makes the route appealing for RVers is it has a few unique communities to visit all along the southern portion of Great Slave Lake with destinations and rugged nature to discover along the way. The lake is also enticing. It spans 28,568 sq km (11,030 sq mi), ranking it the fourth largest lake in Canada and the 11th largest in the world. It even takes the top spot for being the deepest in North America, with a depth in areas of approximately 615 m (2,017 ft).

In todays episode, we sit down at Willow Creek Archery with Herman Scheepers who is the owner of Lianga Safaris, a hunting outfit in the Northernmost province of South Africa.    We get to talk about hunting opportunities in Africa and also the humanitarian and economical impact that it brings to the local people.   If you're interested in hunting or photography in Africa, check out @lianga_safaris on Instagram or www.liangasafaris.com   Bret at Willow Creek is raffling off 2 hunts with Herman in Africa, so make sure you stop by the shop in Temecula before February 15th to get entered to win!

Much has changed since our original 2017 episode (199) on Cava and Spanish sparkling wine. It's time for a refresh and an update! Photo: Cava cork. Credit: cava.wine In this episode we fill you in on the roller coaster the DO has been on since 2017 and where it stands today. The story shows how Spain has moved from just being ON the radar of international wine buyers to moving to a level of sophistication that demands its regions have the kind of terroir focus of the other great wine nations of the Old World – France, Italy, Germany, and Austria, to name a few.   We review the regulations, changes, and the strife in the region and discuss what to seek out to get the best of these highly accessible, delicious, and decidedly Spanish wines.   Here are the show notes...   The Basics We start with the statistics on Cava -- it encompasses 38,133 ha/94,229 acres and made 253 MM bottles in 2021 91% of Cava is white, 9% is rosado (rosé) Various zones produce the wine, but Penedés is the heart of Cava production, with more than 95% of total output We discuss the early history of the area, beginning with the first sparkling production in 1872 with Josep Raventós to the point where the DO is formed in 1991 – we leave the modern history until later, as complex and muddled as it is!   Map: The overly spread out regions of Cava. Credit: Cava DO We then get into the grapes and winemaking: Whites: Since most Cava is white, the white grapes dominate. Most important are the indigenous grapes, Macabeo (Viura, the white of Rioja), Xarel-lo, and Parellada. Chardonnay is also authorized, as well as Subirat Parent (Malvasia) for semi-sweet and sweet Cava. Photo: Macabeo. Credit: D.O. Cava Reds: Used for rosado (rosé), native grapes are Garnacha (Grenache), Trepat, and Monastrell (Mourvèdre). The Cava DO authorized Pinot Noir for use in rosado in 1998 Winemaking: We discuss the vineyard requirements for the making of quality Cava, including the importance of gentle picking and transport to the winery to prevent oxidation We briefly review the Traditional Method (Champagne Method) of winemaking, which is how all Cava is made Photo: Riddled Cava, ready for disgorgement.. Credit: D.O. Cava We discuss the aging qualifications for Cava, Cava Reserva, Cava Gran Reserva, and Cava Paraje Calificada that range from a minimum nine months to several years, and what each style yields We review the various dosage levels so you know what to look for: “Brut Nature” - no added sugar Cava Extra Brut – very little sugar Cava Brut: Slightly more added sugar in the dosage, sugar is barely noticeable Cava Extra Seco: heavier mouthfeel, noticeable sugar Cava Seco: Dessert level, very sweet Semi Seco: Even sweeter Dulce – Super sweet     We discuss why Cava is such a big mess, with much infighting in its modern history, and why not all sparkling Spanish wine is created the same:   We talk about the first fissures in Cava, with the 2012 break off of Cava OG producer Raventós i Blanc leaving the Cava DO because the quality standards were too low -Vino de la tierra Conca de l'Anoia (their own site) Photo: Raventós i Blanc Rosado, Vino de la Tierra   We discuss the 2015 formation of The Association of Wine Producers and Growers Corpinnat (AVEC) or Corpinnat. We define the group and talk about its requirements for the small member producers: Mission:  Create a distinguished, excellent quality, terroir-driven sparkling wine based solely on Penedès, rather than far flung regions that make lesser wine. To raise the profile of Cava from cheap shit to good stuff Photo: Corpinnat corks. Credit: Corpinnat Website Corpinnat Requirements At least 75% of the grapes must be from vineyards owned by the winery, wine must be made on the premises of the winery Minimum price paid for livable wages to the growers Certified organic and hand harvested grapes 90% of the grapes must be indigenous varieties: Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada for whites, Garnacha, Trepat, Monastrell, for reds. 18 months minimum aging **By design: Cava's three biggest producers can't meet the requirements: Cordoniu, Freixenet and García Carrión – which is why Corpinnat started in the first place, to raise the quality standard and allow smaller producers a voice Corpinnat members (2022): Gramona, Llopart, Recaredo, Sabaté i Coca, Nadal, Torelló, Can Feixas, Júlia Bernet, Mas Candi, Can Descregut, Pardas We discuss the qualifications of the Cava Paraje Calificado classification, created by the Cava DO in 2017 for single-estate sparkling wines with a vineyard designation, lower yield, and a longer aging period Cava de Paraje Calificado requirements include specifications for: lower yield, manual harvest, minimum fermentation time in the bottle at 36 months. Vines must be at least 10 years old and the wine must be produced locally in the same winery that grows the grapes. Issues: Includes the large wineries' estate vineyards and (originally) some smaller ones but doesn't address the issue of quality or cohesive terroir/flavor. It's like a medal system – here are our best wines! Photo: Paraje Califado Cava -- Can Sala, Freixenet Disastrous conclusion: The Cava Paraje Calificada was the solution to the Corpinnat – it was meant to be more inclusive. But Corpinnat was supposed to be a new small producer/ quality designation within Cava. Because it excludes large producers, the DO wouldn't allow Cava and Corpinnat on the same label, and Corpinnat left the DO. They cannot use Cava, or Gran Reserva on their labels.   Of the 12 wines approved as CPC in 2017, 5 aren't CPC anymore, only Corpinnat We address most recent regulations of Cava in 2020 The Cava Regulatory Council approved new zoning of the Cava DO. We review the subzones that are supposed to create a better delimitation for consumers: Comtats de Barcelona - 95%+ of Cava production Includes Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the "capital of Cava" – where the first bottles of Cava were produced in 1872 Location: In Catalonia, in northeast Spain. Along the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona Climate: Mediterranean climate, slight variations inland versus coast but mostly long summer, lots of sun, hot summer and spring - easy to ripen grapes, lots of different grapes thrive  Land:  Diverse terrain – various exposures, orientation, altitudes, and microclimates Five Sub-zones (used for Reserva and Gran Reserva Cava, more limited yields, organic viticulture, vineyards 10+ years old): Valls d'Anoia Foix, Serra de Mar, Conca del Gaià, Serra de Prades and Pla de Ponent Each has a slightly different character – some more at elevation, some farther from the sea – slight variations in flavors and what grows where   Map: Detail of the Comtats de Barcelona Cava Zone. Credit: Cava DO   The Ebro Valley area  Northernmost part of the DO, far in the interior, near and influenced by the river Ebro Climate: Temperate, continental climate – summers are hot and dry with cold winters Two subzones (used for Reserva and Gran Reserva Cava, more limited yields, organic viticulture, vineyards 10+ years old): the Alto Ebro around Rioja, Navarra, and the Basque area of Álava and the Cierzo Valley Sub Zone. The Cierzo is near the Aragonese city of Zaragoza in the central area of the Ebro River, with strong regional winds (the Cierzo) to dry out the area Map: Detail of the Ebro River Valley Cava Zone. Credit: Cava DO Smaller zones: Levante: (Eastern Highlands, no official name yet), in interior of Valencia province, with a dry Mediterranean to semi continental climate depending on whether altitude)   Viñedos de Almendralejo (Almendralejo vineyards): Fairly flat, southwestern-most part of the DO. A very dry, hot climate, with warm wind, known as the solano We end with an update of where Cava is today (hint: it's huge and growing, it's trying to improve by moving towards organics, it's still fighting against Corpinnat) and what could be the next step for Corpinnat too.     A fascinating show that takes you on the wild ride that the region and wine has been on since we first discussed it those many years ago. __________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Wine Spies uncovers incredible wines at unreal prices - on every type of wine in a variety of price points.

John Bargaard — the central character of Peter Geye's new novel — possesses powerful muscle memory from his days as a ski jumper. He remembers the intensity of focus, the feeling of flying through the air, the shattered glass moment of landing. But he's just been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, and he faces the real prospect that his memories — and the secrets he harbors — will dim with his future. That's the launching point of “The Ski Jumpers,” Geye's latest book. Like many of his earlier works, this one is set in Minnesota, with winter as a backdrop to many pivotal scenes. But unlike books like “Wintering” and “Northernmost,” this one is personal. MPR News host Kerri Miller talks with Geye about what makes “The Ski Jumpers” so intimate to him on a special Big Books and Bold Ideas. Hear why this book took decades for Geye to write, how his own history of ski jumping inspired him and why the central questions of this book are the gateway to Geye's truest religion.

Tim Matthews talks with Peter Geye, author of the book of the month "Northernmost"

World's northernmost island研究人员发现'最北'岛屿Scientists have discovered what is believed to be the world's northernmostlandmass - a yet-to-be-named island north of Greenland that could soon be swallowed up by seawaters.研究人员意外发现了据信为地球"最北端"的岛屿，这个尚未命名的岛屿位于格陵兰岛北部，可能很快就会被海水吞没。Researchers came upon the landmass on an expedition in July, and initially thought they had reached Oodaaq, up until now the northernmost island on the planet.研究人员在今年7月的一次探险中偶然发现了这个岛屿，起初他们以为自己已经到达了欧达克岛，也就是迄今为止地球上最北端的岛屿。"We were informed that there had been an error on my GPS, which had led us to believe that we were standing on Oodaaq Island," said the head of the mission, Morten Rasch from Copenhagen University's department of geosciencesand natural resource management.本次任务的负责人、哥本哈根大学地球科学和自然资源管理系的莫滕•拉施说："我们被告知导航出错，让我们误以为自己站在了欧达克岛上。"Oodaaq is some 700 kilometers south of the North Pole, while the new island is 780 meters north of Oodaaq. But it is only 30 to 60 meters above sea level, and Rasch said it could be a "short-lived islet".欧达克岛距离北极大约700公里，新发现的岛屿在欧达克岛以北780米。但岛屿海拔仅有30米到60米，拉施说，它可能是一个"短命的小岛"。 1. landmass['lændmæs]na.大陆块网络：大片陆地；地块；地块性状 2. geoscience美 [dʒioʊ'saɪənsɪz] 英 [dʒi:əʊ'saɪənsɪz]n.地学网络：地球科学；地质科学；地理科学Task force to remove gum waste英国征收口香糖'清理费'Chewing gum producers have signed up to a￡10 million task force to remove the stickyscourge from our high streets. The cashpledge by Mars Wrigley, GlaxoSmithKline and Italian-Dutch multinational company Perfetti Van Melle will help tackle the gum litter that costs￡7 million a year to remove frompavements.口香糖生产商玛氏箭牌、葛兰素史克以及意荷跨国公司不凡帝范梅勒已签署协议，在未来五年内共同出资1000万英镑，成立"口香糖工作组"，以清理英国大街上黏稠的口香糖。清理人行道上的口香糖垃圾每年要耗资700万英镑。Working with Keep Britain Tidy, the firms will invest the money over the next five years to encourage people to bin it instead. Around 87% of England's streets are stained by chewing gum waste, according to Keep Britain Tidy.几家公司将与环保机构"保持英国清洁"合作，将"清理费"用于鼓励人们把口香糖垃圾扔进垃圾桶。根据该机构调查，目前仅英格兰地区被口香糖污染的街道就高达87%。Pilot tests have shown that gum litter can be reduced by up to 64% when people are asked to change their behavior. Littering is a criminal offence, and offenders face on-the-spot penalties of￡150, rising to up to￡2,500 ifconvicted in court.初步试验显示，当人们被要求改变做法时，口香糖垃圾可减少多达64%。在英国，乱扔垃圾是一种刑事犯罪行为，违规者可被当场罚款150英镑，如果在法庭上被定罪，将面临高达2500英镑的罚款。 1. scourge美 [skɜrdʒ] 英 [skɜː(r)dʒ]v.鞭打；鞭笞；折磨；使受苦难n.祸害；灾害；祸根；（旧时用作刑具的）鞭子网络：灾祸；天罚之锤；瘟疫 2. pledge美 [pledʒ] 英 [pledʒ]n.保证；抵押；诺言；抵押品v.抵押；保证给予（或做）；正式承诺；使保证网络：誓言；发誓；碧丽珠 3. pavement美 ['peɪvmənt] 英 ['peɪvmənt]n.〈英〉人行道；铺石路；〈美〉车道；铺地网络：道路；铺筑材料；路面 4. convicted美 [kən'vɪktəd] 英 [kən'vɪktɪd]v.“convict”的过去式和过去分词网络：定罪；被判有罪；宣判有罪Sedentary time increases stroke risk每天坐8小时中风风险高7倍Adults under 60 who spend most of their days sitting have a higher risk of stroke compared to those who spend more time being physically active, a new study finds. People who reported sitting eight or more hours daily and were not very physically active otherwise were seven times more at risk of having a stroke than people who spent fewer than four hours beingsedentary and at least 10 minutes exercising each day, according to a study published in Stroke from the American Heart Association.一项发表在美国心脏协会出版的期刊《卒中》上的最新研究发现，对于年龄在60岁以下的成年人来说，如果每天绝大多数的时间都是坐着的，那么与经常锻炼的人相比，中风的风险会高出数倍。报告称，那些每天坐8小时或以上、且极少锻炼的人，中风的可能性要比那些每天坐着的时间不超过4小时、且每天至少锻炼10分钟的人高出7倍。Researchers included the health information of 143,000 adults from the Canadian Community Health Survey in their analysis. The scientists followed the participants, who were 40 years and older with no prior history of stroke, for an average of 9.4 years.研究人员对来自加拿大社区健康调查项目的14.3万名成年人的健康信息进行了平均长达9.4年的跟踪调查，参与者年龄均在40岁以上，且无中风病史。"Sedentary time is thought toimpair glucose,lipid metabolismand blood flow, and increaseinflammationin the body," said lead study author Dr. Raed Joundi, clinical scholar at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
