Zwei Jahre nachdem «Einstein» mit Forschenden der Uni Zürich in die Welt der Delfine Westaustraliens abtauchte, liegen nun Resultate vor: Wetterextreme setzen den Meeressäugern massiv zu und nur wenige Tiere kommen mit der Klimaveränderung klar. Die Delfinpopulationen von Shark Bay sind unter Druck. Delfine unter Stress: Wieso der Klimawandel ihr schlimmster Feind ist Vor zwei Jahren tauchte das SRF-Wissensmagazin «Einstein» mit Forschenden der Uni Zürich in die Welt der Delfine Westaustraliens ein. Auch ihre neuesten Daten zeigen: Der Klimawandel setzt den Meersäugern enorm zu und nur wenige Tiere kommen damit klar. Vier Forschende des Zürcher Delfin-Teams geben Einblick in ihre Projekte, die über Langzeitdaten und genetische Analysen direkt miteinander verbunden sind. Was ist Delfin «Fornia»? Die Delfin-Forschungsprojekte der Uni Zürich in Shark Bay haben ihren Fokus derzeit auf der Klimaerwärmung und deren Auswirkungen auf die Delfinpopulationen in Westaustralien. Vier junge Forschende aus der «Einstein»-Reportage von 2023 zeigen an einem bestimmten Delfin mit Namen «Fornia» auf, warum sie auch unbedingt wissen müssen, ob es sich um ein männliches oder weibliches Tier handelt. Eine DNA-Extraktion im Labor bringt Klarheit. Delfin-DNA dank Luftgewehr Gewebeproben sind für die Delfinforschung Gold wert. Evolutionsgenetikerin Svenja Marfurt holt sie sich in Westaustralien mit einem Luftgewehr, das speziell für Biopsien entwickelt wurde. Dank genetischen Analysen konnte sie herausfinden, dass die Delfinpopulation von Shark Bay vor mindestens 12'000 Jahren entstand. Dieses Wissen hilft, die Anpassungsfähigkeit der Delfine an den fortschreitenden Klimawandel zu erforschen. Delfin-Killer Klimawandel Mit dem globalen Temperaturanstieg haben die Häufigkeit, Dauer und Intensität mariner Hitzewellen zugenommen. Verheerend war eine solche an der Westküste Australiens 2011, die zu einem dramatischen Verlust von Seegraswiesen führte und auch die Delfine in Shark Bay hart traf. Populationsdynamiker Felix Smith kann anhand seiner Daten aufzeigen, dass die Überlebensrate der Delfine stark zurückging und sich bis heute nie mehr ganz erholte. Delfinforschung aus der Luft Wie gesund und gut ernährt ein Delfin ist, spielt eine Schlüsselrolle fürs Überleben, die Fortpflanzung und den Nachwuchs der Tiere. Vor wenigen Jahren setzte Meeresbiologe Riccardo Cicciarella erstmals Drohnen ein, um die Grösse und den Gesundheitszustand der Tiere zu messen. Heute zeigt sich: Messungen aus der Luft sind ebenso exakt wie manuelle Methoden. Und man muss die Delfine nicht mehr fangen und anfassen, was sie weniger stört. Delfin und. Co auf einem Löschpapier Wie verändert der Klimawandel die Habitate der Delfine und die Biodiversität in Shark Bay? Umweltgenetikerin Manuella Bizzozzero nutzt eine innovative Kombination aus Umwelt-DNA-Analyse und Satellitendaten, um die Lebensräume im Meer zu charakterisieren und deren Einfluss auf das Verhalten der Delfine zu verstehen. Entstanden sind detaillierte Meereskarten, die wertvolle Beiträge zu den andern Delfin-Projekten der Uni Zürich liefern.

Comme les grands singes, les dauphins savent se servir d'outils. En Australie, à Shark Bay, certains grands dauphins se servent d'outils et se transmettent cette technique entre eux.Baptisée shelling, la pratique en question consiste pour les dauphins à forcer un poisson à trouver refuge dans une coquille vide de coquillage, puis d'amener la coquille en surface pour la secouer vigoureusement sur la pointe de leur nez afin d'attraper le poisson qui en tombe.Les mamans de ce même groupe forment leur delphineau à une autre forme d'utilisation d'outil appelée sponging dans laquelle les dauphins protègent leur rostre avec des éponges pour fureter et chercher de la nourriture dans les rochers coupants._______

Seeing sharks in the wild often means donning a wetsuit and goggles. But that's not the case in Cape Verde. Shark Bay is a unique spot offering the chance to wade in and get up close with these animals. But it's fast becoming one of the top tourist attractions, and there's worry what that could mean. Joining Project Biodiversity, Charlie spends an afternoon tagging juveniles in the bay, and learning about the threats this species faces.

fWotD Episode 2442: Rock parrot Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Thursday, 11 January 2024 is Rock parrot.The rock parrot (Neophema petrophila) is a species of grass parrot native to Australia. Described by John Gould in 1841, it is a small parrot 22 to 24 cm (8+3⁄4 to 9+1⁄2 in) long and weighing 50–60 g (1+3⁄4–2 oz) with predominantly olive-brown upperparts and more yellowish underparts. Its head is olive with light blue forecheeks and lores, and a dark blue frontal band line across the crown with lighter blue above and below. The sexes are similar in appearance, although the female tends to have a duller frontal band and less blue on the face. Two subspecies are recognised.Rocky islands and coastal dune areas are the preferred habitats for this species, which is found from Lake Alexandrina in southeastern South Australia westwards across coastal South and Western Australia to Shark Bay. Unlike other grass parrots, it nests in burrows or rocky crevices mostly on offshore islands such as Rottnest Island. Seeds of grasses and succulent plants form the bulk of its diet. The species has suffered in the face of feral mammals; although its population is declining, it is considered to be a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:35 UTC on Thursday, 11 January 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Rock parrot on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Geraint Standard.

The seagrass covers about 200 sq km , researchers from the University of Western Australia said. 據信這片草甸從一顆種子擴散而成，歷時至少4500年。西澳洲大學的研究人員說，這棵海草覆蓋的面積約200平方公里。 The team stumbled upon the discovery by accident at Shark Bay, about 800km north of Perth. They had set out to understand the genetic diversity of the species - also known as ribbon weed - which is commonly found along parts of Australia's coast. 研究團隊在伯斯北方約800公里的鯊魚灣意外找到這發現。他們先是著手了解這些常在澳洲部份海岸被發現的物種－也被稱為絲帶海草－的基因多樣性。 Researchers collected shoots from across the bay and examined 18,000 genetic markers to create a "fingerprint" from each sample. They had aimed to discover how many plants made up the meadow. 研究人員從整個鯊魚灣蒐集幼芽，並且檢視了1萬8000個基因標記來為每個樣本製造「指紋」。他們原本目標是要找出有多少棵植物構成這片草甸。 "The answer blew us away - there was just one!" said Jane Edgeloe, the study's lead author. 該研究主要作者珍．艾吉羅說：「這個答案讓我們大吃一驚，居然只有一棵！」 Next Article Topic: Not a square to spare: Australian shops ration toilet paper amid coronavirus panic 一張都不分：澳洲商店在冠狀病毒恐慌中限購衛生紙 Australia's major grocers put strict limits on purchases of toilet paper on Wednesday, after shoppers stripped shelves in a rush of panic buying spurred by fears over a coronavirus. 在購物者因冠狀病毒掀起的恐慌而倉皇大肆搶購，將貨架上商品一掃而空後，澳洲大型零售商店週三對購買衛生紙祭出嚴格限制。 The demand for toilet paper, in particular, has sparked the trending hashtags #toiletpapergate and #toiletpapercrisis on Twitter, along with photographs of overloaded shopping trolleys, and calls for calm from baffled officials. 尤其，對衛生紙的需求已經在「推特」掀起「衛生紙門」和「衛生紙危機」熱門話題標籤，以及一張張堆到爆滿的購物車照片，和對此難以理解的官員喊話呼籲冷靜。 The biggest grocery chain, Woolworths Group Ltd, limited sales to four packs a shopper, to keep up stock levels while suppliers ramp up production. 在供應商加速生產的同時，最大連鎖零售商Woolworths集團為了維持存貨量，限制每人最多購買4袋。 Shoppers have swooped on other products also. Costco has put limits on purchases of milk, eggs, rice, disinfectants and soap. 購物者也搶購其他商品。好市多限制牛奶、雞蛋、米、消毒殺菌品和肥皂的購買量。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1523717 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1361291?fbclid=IwAR3kVmMFa5gdommS4R4Ftm8HzoQ7DeQzQ5yjoI0jTvkQDeAtMfTFjDfgQCI Next Article Topic: Australian prison to be evacuated after mice move in A plague of mice that has ravaged vast swathes of eastern Australia has forced the evacuation of a prison while authorities repair gnawed electrical wiring and clear dead and decaying mice from walls and ceilings. 一場蹂躪澳洲東部廣泛地區的鼠疫，已迫使一間監獄全員撤離，好讓當局修復被啃咬的電線，以及清除牆壁和天花板裡死亡發臭的老鼠。 Around 200 staff and 420 inmates will be transferred from the Wellington Correctional Center in rural New South Wales state to other prisons in the region. 新南威爾斯州鄉下的威靈頓矯正所，將撤離約200名職員和420名受刑人到區內其他監獄。 Millions of mice have caused havoc in the grain-growing region of Australia's most populous state for months, devouring crops and haystacks as well as invading homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and prisons. 數月來，上百萬隻老鼠在澳洲人口最稠密的穀物栽植地區大肆破壞，吃光作物和乾草，還入侵住家、商店、學校、醫院和監獄。 The most common complaint about the plague is an ever-present stench of mice urine and decaying flesh. People report being bitten by mice in bed. Mouse carcasses and excrement in roof guttering are polluting farmers' water tanks and causing sickness. 對鼠疫最常見的抱怨，是前所未聞的老鼠尿液和腐敗屍體的惡臭。有人通報躺在床上時被老鼠咬。屋頂排水系統內的鼠屍和鼠便，也污染農夫的儲水槽，並帶來疾病。 Next Article Australian ute whizzes across seven lanes of traffic unscathed澳洲休旅車呼嘯穿越七車道而毫髮無傷 Australian police captured dramatic footage of a white truck speeding unscathed across seven lanes of traffic in a once-in-a-lifetime incident. 在一起難得一見的事件中，澳洲警方拍攝到一輛白色卡車加速橫越七車道卻毫髮無傷的戲劇性影片。 Though a mere five seconds, the riveting video shows a Toyota Hilux truck in Australia's Northern Territories drive over a sandy median, narrowly avoid a collision with another car in three lanes of moving vehicles, thread through two lanes of stationary cars, bounce across two empty lanes and then hurtle toward a line of storefronts. 雖然僅有五秒，這段精彩影片顯示，澳洲北領地的一輛豐田Hilux卡車駛過一個沙地分隔島，在三個車輛行駛中的車道上差點就撞上另一輛車，接著越過兩線車輛靜止的車道，再彈越過兩個空車車道，衝向一排店面。 The driver of the utility vehicle, or ute as the vehicle is commonly known in Australia, was heading towards the city of Darwin when she allegedly lost control, failed to negotiate a turn, and crashed into a business, according to the police in a post on social media. 根據警方在社群媒體上的貼文，這輛運動型休旅車（在澳洲常被稱為ute ）的駕駛在駛向達爾文市時，據說她失控，過彎失敗，最後撞入一個店家。 "It is incredibly lucky no one else was injured in this incident," said Superintendent Daniel Shean of the Northern Territory Police, reminding people to always drive with due care and attention. 北領地警局警司丹尼爾．辛恩說，這起事故沒有其他人受傷真是不可思議，提醒人們開車應該要小心謹慎，注意安全。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1481283 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1479057 Next Article Topic: With Australia-UK deal, Biden again shows China is paramount priority Forging a new three-way alliance with Britain and Australia to the anger of the French, US President Joe Biden has again made brutally clear that his top international priority, overriding all else, will be facing China. 美國總統喬‧拜登不惜激怒法國，與英國及澳洲建立新的三方聯盟，再次殘酷地表明，他的國際事務首要目標，是面對中國。 Under the alliance christened with the acronym AUKUS, Australia will be the only country other than the UK to have access to US technology to build nuclear-powered submarines — which could deploy in contested waters where Beijing is assertively exerting its claims. 該聯盟名為AUKUS，為澳、英、美三國的首字母縮寫。根據其協議，澳洲將成為除英國之外唯一能獲得美國技術以建造核動力潛艇的國家——這些核子潛艇可部署在北京強勢主張所有權之爭議水域。 The announcement infuriated China, but also France, which lost a contract to build conventional submarines for Australia that was worth A$50 billion (US$36.5 billion) at the time of signing. 此消息公布，激怒了中國，卻也激怒了法國；法國丟了為澳洲製造傳統動力潛艇的合約，該合約簽署時之價格為五百億澳元（三百六十五億美元）。 French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian denounced the “stab in the back” by the US, and Paris has recalled its ambassadors to the US and Canberra. AUKUS was unveiled weeks after Biden withdrew remaining US troops from Afghanistan, prompting unusually strong statements from European allies who decried the swift return to power of the Taliban. 法國外交部長尚-伊夫‧勒德里安譴責美國的「背後捅刀」，巴黎已召回其駐美國及坎培拉大使。拜登完成美軍撤出阿富汗後數週，AUKUS聯盟計畫公布，引起歐洲盟國發出異常強烈的聲明，譴責美國的撤軍讓塔利班迅速重掌政權。 Biden had long pushed to end the 20-year war and has repeatedly said that Afghanistan was a costly sideshow to China, which his adminstration has described as the primary US rival in the 21st century. “The world is changing. We're engaged in a serious competition with China,” Biden said in a speech after the last US troops left. 拜登長期以來一直努力想結束這場長達二十年的戰爭，並一再表示與中國問題相較，阿富汗戰爭是一個代價高昂的枝節問題；拜登政府稱中國為美國在二十一世紀的頭號競爭對手。「世界正在改變。我們正與中國進行一場嚴峻的競爭」，拜登在最後一批美軍離開阿富汗時所發表的講話中說道。 Relations between Beijing and Washington look set to continue on their current tricky path, while the Western alliance has also been shaken. 北京與華盛頓之間的關係看來將繼續沿著目前棘手的道路前進，而西方聯盟也受到了動搖。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/09/27/2003765047

PART 2: In this episode of OzCast, Professor Kendrick unveils the crucial role that seagrass plays in marine and terrestrial ecosystems, shedding light on its remarkable ability to support marine life and store blue carbon, even more effectively than tropical rainforests. With over 40 years of professional experience in the restoration of these marine ecosystems, Professor Kendrick dives beneath the surface on all the trials and tribulations of bringing these lost meadows back to their former glory – from small-scale projects, all the way to industry-leading community-led projects like Seeds For Snapper.   Professor Gary Kendrick is a leading marine ecologist in the areas of marine benthic biodiversity, resource mapping, seagrass and seaweed ecology and seagrass restoration. He has worked with government and industry to determine needs and develop solutions for climate change threats as well as environmental and conservation issues in Australia's exclusive economic zone.    He has successfully led numerous interdisciplinary teams to address gaps in our knowledge by mapping benthic resources in the shallow continental shelf around Australia and in studying the environmental impacts on seagrasses and seaweeds of commercial fishing, oil and gas infrastructure, dredging, coastal development, coastal eutrophication and desalination outfalls.    Throughout the podcast, Gary discusses the idea of awareness: of not just when seagrass was recognised as being lost in Australia, but the awareness of how important it is to both animals and humans. He provides anecdotes on the types of ways we used seagrass, which ultimately led to its decline over the last 240 years. According to Gary, we are losing one football field of seagrass every 30 minutes, globally.   Drawing from his extensive travels, he compares Australia's efforts on the international stage, giving us a comprehensive overview of where we stand globally in seagrass preservation. He explores the major international policies that have shaped seagrass protection in Australia, highlighting the ongoing work needed to secure seagrass ecosystems in international law.  His seagrass restoration work previously focused on technical solutions and developments to improve the restoration success of seagrasses. More recently, however, his emphasis has shifted to working with the community to develop restoration at larger scales. He presently works on supporting the large OzFish community program, Seeds for Snapper, which is a collaboration with the University of Western Australia that is scaling up seagrass restoration from 100m2 to hectares using seeds of the seagrass Posidonia australis.   Professor Kendrick emphasises the power of community involvement in seagrass restoration. Learn why he believes that programs like "Seeds For Snapper" are not just for experts but something everyone should engage in, emphasising the collective responsibility we all share in preserving these invaluable ecosystems.  With years spent swimming amid these submerged meadows, Gary shares how he endeavours to quantify the value of a square meter of seagrass, unveiling a surprising truth that challenges our preconceptions. He delves into the methods that work and those that don't. It's a percentage game and he explains why restoring even 10% of seagrass seeds is a monumental achievement in the world of conservation.   Gary's long-term research goal is to develop a predictive framework for understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics between marine species distributions, their biology and the physical environment. His work on this has identified appropriate descriptors of extensive historical losses of seagrass habitat due to human impacts and modelled emergent landscape-scale phenomena related to the clonal growth of seagrasses at the shoot scale and the evolution of seagrass landscapes. This line of research has led him to question our understanding of sexual recruitment in seagrasses and has led to recent work on dispersal, recruitment and genetics of seagrasses.  In a bid to provide context to recently published papers, Professor Kendrick provides insight into a major report released in 2022, which shows that one single seagrass plant occupies all of Shark Bay – a realisation that has opened his mind for what is possible with seagrass restoration in Australia.    Throughout the episodes, Gary sheds light on other restoration programs happening around both Australia and the world. Gary highlights another community seagrass restoration collaboration with indigenous Malgana Land and Sea Rangers is presently underway in Gathaagudu (Shark Bay, WA) to replace seagrasses lost during the 2011 extreme marine heatwave (MHW).   He is also a major science advisor to the more commercial Tidal Moon project that is planning to plant 100 hectares of seagrass in Shark Bay over the next three years to mitigate carbon loss from the death of seagrasses 12 years ago.

Learn why he believes that programs like "Seeds For Snapper" are not just for experts but something everyone should engage in, emphasising the collective responsibility we all share in preserving these invaluable ecosystems.  With years spent swimming amid these submerged meadows, Gary shares how he endeavours to quantify the value of a square meter of seagrass, unveiling a surprising truth that challenges our preconceptions. He delves into the methods that work and those that don't. It's a percentage game and he explains why restoring even 10% of seagrass seeds is a monumental achievement in the world of conservation.   Gary's long-term research goal is to develop a predictive framework for understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics between marine species distributions, their biology and the physical environment. His work on this has identified appropriate descriptors of extensive historical losses of seagrass habitat due to human impacts and modelled emergent landscape-scale phenomena related to the clonal growth of seagrasses at the shoot scale and the evolution of seagrass landscapes. This line of research has led him to question our understanding of sexual recruitment in seagrasses and has led to recent work on dispersal, recruitment and genetics of seagrasses.  In a bid to provide context to recently published papers, Professor Kendrick provides insight into a major report released in 2022, which shows that one single seagrass plant occupies all of Shark Bay – a realisation that has opened his mind for what is possible with seagrass restoration in Australia.    Throughout the episodes, Gary sheds light on other restoration programs happening around both Australia and the world. Gary highlights another community seagrass restoration collaboration with indigenous Malgana Land and Sea Rangers is presently underway in Gathaagudu (Shark Bay, WA) to replace seagrasses lost during the 2011 extreme marine heatwave (MHW).     He is also a major science advisor to the more commercial Tidal Moon project that is planning to plant 100 hectares of seagrass in Shark Bay over the next three years to mitigate carbon loss from the death of seagrasses 12 years ago.

My guest is Sophie Matterson. In 2019 Sophie's desire for a different kind of life led her to set an audacious goal – to walk across the width of Australia, covering an astounding 5000 kilometres, from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Byron Bay in New South Wales.Sophie was joined on this journey by her five camels, and together they faced life-and-death situations, braved harsh weather conditions, and overcame the challenges of solitude and going weeks without encountering another soul.Sophie's journey was not just about conquering the physical terrain; it was also a quest for self-discovery and personal growth which she captures in her memoir “The Crossing”. Today Sophie shares with me the highs and lows, the challenges, and the moments of sheer wonder that defined her year-long odyssey.Stay up to date by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

En Australie, à Shark Bay, certains grands dauphins se servent d'outils et se transmettent cette technique entre eux. Baptisée shelling, la pratique en question consiste pour les dauphins à forcer un poisson à trouver refuge dans une coquille vide de coquillage, puis d'amener la coquille en surface pour la secouer vigoureusement sur la pointe de leur nez afin d'attraper le poisson qui en tombe. Les mamans de ce même groupe forment leur delphineau à une autre forme d'utilisation d'outil appelée sponging dans laquelle les dauphins protègent leur rostre avec des éponges pour fureter et chercher de la nourriture dans les rochers coupants. _______   On aime ce qui nous a émerveillé … et on protège ce qu'on aime. _______ Découvrir tout l'univers Baleine sous Gravillon, et Mécaniques du Vivant sur France Culture : https://baleinesousgravillon.com/liens-2 Soutenir notre travail, bénévole et sans pub : https://bit.ly/helloasso_donsUR_BSG Nous contacter pour une conférence, un partenariat ou d'autres synergies : contact@baleinesousgravillon.com _______ Interview : Marc Mortelmans Rédaction en chef : Guillaume Lassalle Graphisme : Elouan Plessix Montage / notices / programmation : Zeynab Tamoukh, Albane Couterot, Paul Lavigne

I generally don't like to come out and rip into a tour company especially being a travel professional myself. I have to come out and warn travellers to stay away from this company. I used this tour company for our trip of a lifetime, and financially it was and the experience was not so exciting. I must say that I enjoyed the Safari portion of our trip and the people in destinations Cape Town, Humala, Tshukudu and Kruger National Park were amazing. The people at the hotels, Belle Marco, The Shark Bay, and Stillness Manor were excellent as well. Our drivers and guides were also excellent.  Where I had an issue with staff in the North American offices.Everyone is still using the excuse of the Pandemic and staff shortages and people working from home and information is in different places. We live in a world of technology, a funny thing called computers, the digital world.The company sent us a receipt of all the money that we paid for this trip as we were allowed to pay it over time.  They had a flight for us from Cape Town to Johannesburg and when the agent called she told us we were starting our tour off on Safari. I don't think so, based on the information they provided to me we were flying from Cape Town to Johannesburg and that is how we booked our own flights, a flight into Cape Town and a flight out of Johannesburg. Give it a listen, beware of this tour company and if you are looking for one that will deliver on all their promises, you can reach out to me as I am a travel professional

Topic: World's biggest plant discovered off Australian coast   The largest known plant on Earth - a seagrass roughly three times the size of Manhattan - has been discovered off the coast of Australia. 地球上已知的最大植物－大約是曼哈頓面積3倍大的一種海草－已在澳洲海岸外被發現。 Using genetic testing, scientists have determined a large underwater meadow in Western Australia is in fact one plant. 使用基因測定，科學家已判定在西澳洲的一片大型水下草甸其實是一棵植物。 It is believed to have spread from a single seed over at least 4,500 years. The seagrass covers about 200 sq km , researchers from the University of Western Australia said. 據信這片草甸從一顆種子擴散而成，歷時至少4500年。西澳洲大學的研究人員說，這棵海草覆蓋的面積約200平方公里。 The team stumbled upon the discovery by accident at Shark Bay, about 800km north of Perth. They had set out to understand the genetic diversity of the species - also known as ribbon weed - which is commonly found along parts of Australia's coast. 研究團隊在伯斯北方約800公里的鯊魚灣意外找到這發現。他們先是著手了解這些常在澳洲部份海岸被發現的物種－也被稱為絲帶海草－的基因多樣性。 Researchers collected shoots from across the bay and examined 18,000 genetic markers to create a "fingerprint" from each sample. They had aimed to discover how many plants made up the meadow. 研究人員從整個鯊魚灣蒐集幼芽，並且檢視了1萬8000個基因標記來為每個樣本製造「指紋」。他們原本目標是要找出有多少棵植物構成這片草甸。 "The answer blew us away - there was just one!" said Jane Edgeloe, the study's lead author. 該研究主要作者珍．艾吉羅說：「這個答案讓我們大吃一驚，居然只有一棵！」   Next Article   Topic: Not a square to spare: Australian shops ration toilet paper amid coronavirus panic 一張都不分：澳洲商店在冠狀病毒恐慌中限購衛生紙 Australia's major grocers put strict limits on purchases of toilet paper on Wednesday, after shoppers stripped shelves in a rush of panic buying spurred by fears over a coronavirus. 在購物者因冠狀病毒掀起的恐慌而倉皇大肆搶購，將貨架上商品一掃而空後，澳洲大型零售商店週三對購買衛生紙祭出嚴格限制。 The demand for toilet paper, in particular, has sparked the trending hashtags #toiletpapergate and #toiletpapercrisis on Twitter, along with photographs of overloaded shopping trolleys, and calls for calm from baffled officials. 尤其，對衛生紙的需求已經在「推特」掀起「衛生紙門」和「衛生紙危機」熱門話題標籤，以及一張張堆到爆滿的購物車照片，和對此難以理解的官員喊話呼籲冷靜。 The biggest grocery chain, Woolworths Group Ltd, limited sales to four packs a shopper, to keep up stock levels while suppliers ramp up production. 在供應商加速生產的同時，最大連鎖零售商Woolworths集團為了維持存貨量，限制每人最多購買4袋。 Shoppers have swooped on other products also. Costco has put limits on purchases of milk, eggs, rice, disinfectants and soap. 購物者也搶購其他商品。好市多限制牛奶、雞蛋、米、消毒殺菌品和肥皂的購買量。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1523717 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1361291?fbclid=IwAR3kVmMFa5gdommS4R4Ftm8HzoQ7DeQzQ5yjoI0jTvkQDeAtMfTFjDfgQCI   Next Article   Topic: Australian prison to be evacuated after mice move in   A plague of mice that has ravaged vast swathes of eastern Australia has forced the evacuation of a prison while authorities repair gnawed electrical wiring and clear dead and decaying mice from walls and ceilings. 一場蹂躪澳洲東部廣泛地區的鼠疫，已迫使一間監獄全員撤離，好讓當局修復被啃咬的電線，以及清除牆壁和天花板裡死亡發臭的老鼠。 Around 200 staff and 420 inmates will be transferred from the Wellington Correctional Center in rural New South Wales state to other prisons in the region. 新南威爾斯州鄉下的威靈頓矯正所，將撤離約200名職員和420名受刑人到區內其他監獄。 Millions of mice have caused havoc in the grain-growing region of Australia's most populous state for months, devouring crops and haystacks as well as invading homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and prisons. 數月來，上百萬隻老鼠在澳洲人口最稠密的穀物栽植地區大肆破壞，吃光作物和乾草，還入侵住家、商店、學校、醫院和監獄。 The most common complaint about the plague is an ever-present stench of mice urine and decaying flesh. People report being bitten by mice in bed. Mouse carcasses and excrement in roof guttering are polluting farmers' water tanks and causing sickness. 對鼠疫最常見的抱怨，是前所未聞的老鼠尿液和腐敗屍體的惡臭。有人通報躺在床上時被老鼠咬。屋頂排水系統內的鼠屍和鼠便，也污染農夫的儲水槽，並帶來疾病。 Next Article Australian ute whizzes across seven lanes of traffic unscathed澳洲休旅車呼嘯穿越七車道而毫髮無傷 Australian police captured dramatic footage of a white truck speeding unscathed across seven lanes of traffic in a once-in-a-lifetime incident. 在一起難得一見的事件中，澳洲警方拍攝到一輛白色卡車加速橫越七車道卻毫髮無傷的戲劇性影片。 Though a mere five seconds, the riveting video shows a Toyota Hilux truck in Australia's Northern Territories drive over a sandy median, narrowly avoid a collision with another car in three lanes of moving vehicles, thread through two lanes of stationary cars, bounce across two empty lanes and then hurtle toward a line of storefronts. 雖然僅有五秒，這段精彩影片顯示，澳洲北領地的一輛豐田Hilux卡車駛過一個沙地分隔島，在三個車輛行駛中的車道上差點就撞上另一輛車，接著越過兩線車輛靜止的車道，再彈越過兩個空車車道，衝向一排店面。 The driver of the utility vehicle, or ute as the vehicle is commonly known in Australia, was heading towards the city of Darwin when she allegedly lost control, failed to negotiate a turn, and crashed into a business, according to the police in a post on social media. 根據警方在社群媒體上的貼文，這輛運動型休旅車（在澳洲常被稱為ute ）的駕駛在駛向達爾文市時，據說她失控，過彎失敗，最後撞入一個店家。 "It is incredibly lucky no one else was injured in this incident," said Superintendent Daniel Shean of the Northern Territory Police, reminding people to always drive with due care and attention. 北領地警局警司丹尼爾．辛恩說，這起事故沒有其他人受傷真是不可思議，提醒人們開車應該要小心謹慎，注意安全。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1481283 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1479057   Next Article   Topic: With Australia-UK deal, Biden again shows China is paramount priority   Forging a new three-way alliance with Britain and Australia to the anger of the French, US President Joe Biden has again made brutally clear that his top international priority, overriding all else, will be facing China. 美國總統喬‧拜登不惜激怒法國，與英國及澳洲建立新的三方聯盟，再次殘酷地表明，他的國際事務首要目標，是面對中國。 Under the alliance christened with the acronym AUKUS, Australia will be the only country other than the UK to have access to US technology to build nuclear-powered submarines — which could deploy in contested waters where Beijing is assertively exerting its claims. 該聯盟名為AUKUS，為澳、英、美三國的首字母縮寫。根據其協議，澳洲將成為除英國之外唯一能獲得美國技術以建造核動力潛艇的國家——這些核子潛艇可部署在北京強勢主張所有權之爭議水域。 The announcement infuriated China, but also France, which lost a contract to build conventional submarines for Australia that was worth A$50 billion (US$36.5 billion) at the time of signing. 此消息公布，激怒了中國，卻也激怒了法國；法國丟了為澳洲製造傳統動力潛艇的合約，該合約簽署時之價格為五百億澳元（三百六十五億美元）。 French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian denounced the “stab in the back” by the US, and Paris has recalled its ambassadors to the US and Canberra. AUKUS was unveiled weeks after Biden withdrew remaining US troops from Afghanistan, prompting unusually strong statements from European allies who decried the swift return to power of the Taliban. 法國外交部長尚-伊夫‧勒德里安譴責美國的「背後捅刀」，巴黎已召回其駐美國及坎培拉大使。拜登完成美軍撤出阿富汗後數週，AUKUS聯盟計畫公布，引起歐洲盟國發出異常強烈的聲明，譴責美國的撤軍讓塔利班迅速重掌政權。 Biden had long pushed to end the 20-year war and has repeatedly said that Afghanistan was a costly sideshow to China, which his adminstration has described as the primary US rival in the 21st century. “The world is changing. We're engaged in a serious competition with China,” Biden said in a speech after the last US troops left. 拜登長期以來一直努力想結束這場長達二十年的戰爭，並一再表示與中國問題相較，阿富汗戰爭是一個代價高昂的枝節問題；拜登政府稱中國為美國在二十一世紀的頭號競爭對手。「世界正在改變。我們正與中國進行一場嚴峻的競爭」，拜登在最後一批美軍離開阿富汗時所發表的講話中說道。 Relations between Beijing and Washington look set to continue on their current tricky path, while the Western alliance has also been shaken. 北京與華盛頓之間的關係看來將繼續沿著目前棘手的道路前進，而西方聯盟也受到了動搖。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/09/27/2003765047

Een zeegrasveld aan de Australische westkust heeft zich 4500 jaar lang verspreid over de zeebodem en is volgens onderzoekers op het moment het grootste organisme ter wereld.  Het lijkt erop dat het zeegras dat groeit in Shark Bay een hybride is tussen bestaand lintwier en een nog onbekende soort. Het zeegrasveld doet het waarschijnlijk zo goed omdat het zichzelf kloont in plaats van seksueel voortplant.  De vondst was een behoorlijke verrassing, aangezien de wetenschappers juist samples van zeegrassoorten hadden genomen om naar genetische variatie te kijken. Die viel alleen behoorlijk tegen, want van de 10 locaties waar de samples waren genomen, waren er 9 genetisch gelijk.  Het zeegrasveld van in totaal 200 vierkante kilometer moet ooit begonnen zijn bij één en dezelfde plant. Net als dat het geval is voor een niet zo heel anders en ook enorm organisme: een netwerk van zo'n 40.000 ratelpopulieren in Utah.  Normaal gesproken is het hebben van weinig genetische variatie niet bepaald bevorderlijk voor het voortbestaan van een soort. Het gekloonde zeegrasveld roept daarom weer allemaal nieuwe vragen op waar we ongetwijfeld nog jaren zoet mee zijn.   Lees meer: Largest known plant on earth discovered at Shark Bay and it's 4,500 years old.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In der Shark Bay, der Haifischbucht in Australien, wächst eine Pflanze unter der Wasseroberfläche. Aus einem einzigen Samen hat sich dort die größte Pflanze der Welt entwickelt. Wie lange man mit dem Boot von einem Ende der Pflanze bis zum anderen fahren muss und wie sie überhaupt so groß werden konnte, das erfahrt ihr heute im MausZoom. Und zwar von der Pinguin- und Eisbärenklasse der GGS Walther Hartmann in Remscheid und von Jana Magdanz. Von Jana Magdanz.

Pesquisadores australianos anunciaram nesta quarta-feira a descoberta da maior planta do mundo. A erva marinha da espécie Posidonia australis foi localizada nas águas rasas da Área de Patrimônio Mundial de Shark Bay, na Austrália. A planta ocupa uma área de 220 quilômetros quadrados, o que se compara a 25 mil campos de futebol.

UWA School of Biological Sciences research fellow Dr Elizabeth Sinclair, from the university's Oceans Institute, said the seagrass plant seems to span 180km. "We used genetic markers, much like fingerprints are used to identify humans, and what we found was all the diversity in this seagrass comes back to one individual, so they all share pretty much identical genes," she told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.

Mannetjesdolfijnen met de sterkste en meeste sociale contacten blijken ook de meeste kinderen te hebben. En het sociale contact met kennissen onderhouden ze vooral door naar elkaar te fluiten.  Het gaat hier om de bottlenose dolfijnen van Shark Bay in Australië. Zij staan bekend om hun grote sociale groepen met daarin allemaal mannen die geen familie van elkaar zijn. Het is een samenstelling die niet veel voorkomt in het dierenrijk. Wetenschappers bekeken 30 jaar aan data van het gedrag van verschillende 'teams' met mannetjes uit deze omgeving. Toen ze ook de genetische data van de mannetjes en jongen uit het leefgebied bekeken zagen ze: de mannetjes met de sterkste vriendschappen en de meeste contacten in de groep hadden ook de meeste kinderen. Maar hoe onderhouden die mannetjes hun vriendschappen eigenlijk? Dat doen ze door elkaar aan te raken en te spelen, maar ook, blijkt uit een ander onderzoek: door te fluiten naar elkaar. Vooral als een ander mannetje in de groep net iets te ver weg is en het om een kennis gaat (en geen dikke vriend) kiezen ze ervoor om te fluiten.

Being social is essential for dolphins in Shark Bay, WA. Especially the male dolphins form lifelong friendships. Our guest, the behavioural ecologist, Dr Livia Gerber, from the University of New South Wales Sydney, wondered why the male dolphins spend so much time nurturing their relationships. Eventually she found, reported in a freshly published paper, that these close bonds between male dolphins are essential for passing on their genes to the next generation. It takes a group of males to convince a female to mate with them. Without his wing men, the single male dolphin doesn't stand a chance.   How Livia found out about these fascinating facts, how male dolphins nurture their bonds and what life in general looks like for a male dolphin in Shark Bay, you will learn in this episode.

Comme les grands singes, les dauphins savent se servir d'outils. En Australie, à Shark Bay, certains grands dauphins se servent d'outils et se transmettent cette technique entre eux. Baptisée shelling, la pratique en question consiste pour les dauphins à forcer un poisson à trouver refuge dans une coquille vide de coquillage, puis d'amener la coquille en surface pour la secouer vigoureusement sur la pointe de leur nez afin d'attraper le poisson qui en tombe. Les mamans de ce même groupe forment leur delphineau à une autre forme d'utilisation d'outil appelée sponging dans laquelle les dauphins protègent leur rostre avec des éponges pour fureter et chercher de la nourriture dans les rochers coupants. _______

Pastoralists in the Gascoyne are still busy fighting fires that have now burnt through more than 195-thousand hectares. A bushfire watch and act is still in place for some of this remote pastoral land, in the shires of Carnarvon, Shark Bay and the Upper Gascoyne. Chris and Tim Higham run Meedo Station. Chris said the fire had burnt through approximately 60 to 70, 000 hectares of her property and she's particularly concerned about several thousand head of sheep that would have been in the direct line of the fire. The commercial fishing industry said it's under attack from a range of different directions and has decided to launch an advertising campaign to show the community how important the industry is to WA. An historic moment at the Albany Port over the weekend, with a shipment of 30, 000 tonnes of sustainably certified malting barley heading to Vietnam on a ship powered by a blend of biofuel, or recycled vegetable oil.

We're on a brief winter break right now, but we'll be back later in January. To tide you over, here's one of our favorite episodes from 2021: a conversation with Dr. Luke Rendell about culture in whales and dolphins. Enjoy! -- Whales and dolphins are, without a doubt, some of the most charismatic, enigmatic creatures around. Part of what draws us to them is that­—different as our worlds are from theirs, different as our bodies are—we sense a certain kinship. We know they've got big brains, much like we do. We know that some cetacean species live long lives, sing songs, and form close bonds. If you're like me, you may have also wondered about other parallels. For example, do whales and dolphins have something we might want to call culture? If so, what do those cultures look like? What sorts of traditions might these animals be innovating and circulating down in the depths? On this week's episode I chatted with Dr. Luke Rendell, a Reader in the School of Biology and a member of the Sea Mammal Research Unit at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. He's been studying cetaceans for more than two decades. He's the author, with Hal Whitehead, of the 2014 book The Cultural Lives of Whales and Dolphins. (You can probably guess by the book's title where Luke comes down on the question of cetacean culture.) Luke's work is, to my mind, an impressive blend of naturalistic observation, cutting edge methods, and big-picture theorizing. In this conversation, Luke and I do a bit of “Cetaceans 101.” We talk about what culture is and why whale song is a good example of it. We discuss lob-tail feeding in humpback whales and tail-walking in bottlenose dolphins. We talk about Luke's very recent work on how sperm whales in the 19th century may have learned from each other how to evade whalers. And we discuss why an understanding of culture may be crucial for ongoing cetacean conservation efforts. We didn't plumb all the depths of this rich topic—nor did we exhaust all the maritime puns—but we did have a far-reaching chat about some of the most fascinating beings on our planet and their distinctive cultures. As always, thanks a bunch for listening folks. On to my conversation with Dr. Luke Rendell. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode is available here.    Notes and links 2:30 – My favorite edition of Moby Dick (for what it's worth). 6:45 – A primer on cetaceans. 9:30 – A paper on the ins and outs of the whale nose. 10:45 – A general audience article about echolocation in cetaceans, drawing on this recent academic article. 12:30 ­– A discussion of Roger Payne's storied whale song album. 19:00 – A paper on cetacean brain and body size. 19:45 – Dr. Rendell's 2001 article in Behavioral and Brain Sciences, co-authored with Hal Whitehead.

You have found your way to Renegade Files. Your entertainment and information home for all things weird, unexplained, and mysterious beyond belief.This is Renegade Files Episode number 10, The Death of Kurt Cobain.Thank you for tuning in to the show. This one is quite a ride.In the early 1990s the music industry was poised to change, but it hadn't truly changed yet. Consumption of music was in the midst of transitioning from the analog world of vinyl to the digital world of CDs, with the portable, but inferior-to-both, magnetic cassette tape bridging the gap.At the same time the previous decade of music had stripped out the soul of rock and roll, in favor of cookie-cutter tunes that were commercially viable, fit into FM radio timeslots, and could be performed by hair-sprayed, spandexed, pseudo-bad boys.Grunge emerged as a direct response to the bland, corporate rock machine of the 80s, and was fueled by the exceedingly high profit margin of plastic CDs. Grunge was arguably the first truly new musical style to emerge in the US since Rap, and it came from genuine creativity, soul, and as a reaction to a huge music industry that had systematically removed those things from their products. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana emerged to become the kings of Grunge and their music and lyrics make up some of the best music released in generations. But in the end, Kurt Cobain met with a tragic end and regardless of how you interpret his last days, he gave us everything he had, and I'm grateful for what he did while he was with us.On this episode of Renegade Files we'll look into the facts, the timeline, and the cast of characters involved with the sad death of a creative, talented, and troubled person. Come with me as we dig through the facts associated with the loss of a pioneering musician and songwriter whose band rescued the nation from corporate 80s hairband glam, and became the voice of a generation looking for musical authenticity and lyrical relate-ability.Much like a hotel room on a grunge band tour stop, this entire case is just a mess. But together we'll string together the details which paint a very different picture than the sanitized, neatly produced package given to us from the 90s news on MTV, or as Kurt Cobain called it, Empty-TV.Come with Renegade Files as we investigate…The Death of Kurt Cobain.Website http://therenegadefiles.comShare the website with your paranormal, mystery, and conspiracy loving friends.Merchandise https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/Get cool Renegade Files Gear.Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefilesGet more content, deep episode research, and help us stay free and ad-free.--------------------------Music: Theme Song: “Steve's Djembe” by Vani, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 License.“Shark Bay” by Aniqatia, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 License.“Maneuvers” by Aniqatia, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 License.“Elegy” by Aniqatia, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 License.“The Cost” by Aniqatia, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 License.“Noise” by Lately Kind Of Yeah, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License.“Tide Devourer” by Lately Kind Of Yeah, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License.“Virtual Blue” by Lately Kind Of Yeah, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License.

Australian adventurer Sophie Matterson is nearing the end of her epic journey crossing Australia on foot from Shark Bay on the WA coast to Byron Bay in New South Wales. She led five camels on the the 5-thousand kilometre trek.

Keith Gregory comes from farming stock. Born in Narramine in New South Wales, Keith learnt to drive a tractor at the age of 10. The family moved to Perth and Keith went on to complete Year 11 before taking up a job mustering on horseback in Shark Bay. At 18 years of age he was breaking in horses. However after a stint in New Zealand he realised there was no future in mustering and he returned to Perth to study business administration. He then went on to a career in commercial property finance for 13 years. Keith married lady known as the Aussie Mermaid because she had been swept out to see off the coast of the Philippines but found 120 km from land. They had a son who was diagnosed with autism and were told their son would never function in society. Through his son Keith learnt a lot about overcoming challenges and he has sought to apply that to indigenous youth. Keith discusses his vision for helping troubled youth and the struggles he has had with obtaining government funding for his work. We also debate the different views on indigenous advancement. This is Keith's Territory Story. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/territorystory/message

If you're spending an afternoon on your favorite bay, you probably don't want to see any sharks gliding through the water. But the bay itself just might. Without sharks, the ecosystem can change -- in ways that can be bad for the bay and anyone living near it. Researchers studied how that might play out in Shark Bay, on the western tip of Australia.Seagrass carpets about 1500 square miles of the bay floor. It acts as a buffer against storms, provides habitat for marine life, and filters the water. It also provides food for the “sea cows” known as dugongs.Shark Bay also is home to lots of sharks -- especially tiger sharks. They spend the summer in the bay, then migrate elsewhere for winter. The dugong munch on the seagrass mainly when the sharks are away.A major heat wave in 2011 killed off some of the seagrass. The main species grows slowly, so the beds take a long time to recover. A species of grass that's more resistant to heat began filling in, but it's not as helpful.Scientists decided to check out what might happen if there were no sharks around, and the dugongs could feed on the good seagrass all year. The scientists removed some of the seagrass from the bay floor -- an imitation of conditions with year-round feeding. The good seagrass didn't recover at all, while the replacement species did well.So without the sharks to keep the dugong in check, the bay might not recover from its earlier trauma -- bad news for the bay and its residents -- including people.

Efficient use of phosphorous fertiliser is becoming crucial on Australian farms because the finite resource is running out. Phosphorous is vital for plant health. It's the 'P' in the traditional fertiliser term, NPK. Phosphorous comes from Phosphate rock. Currently five countries hold about 85 per cent of the known phosphate rock reserves and as supply starts to run out, phosphate prices will climb. In the mid west of the state, construction has started on a new mineral sand mine that's expected to employ 150 drive-in-drive-out workers over the next two decades. Strandline Resources will establish the Coburn Mineral Sands Mine in the Shire of Shark Bay about 250 kilometres north of Geraldton. Chief Executive Luke Graham says the first five years of product is already sold. A number of Australian businesses are now taking brand new diesel vehicles and converting them to electric for underground mines. The vehicles are being snapped up right across the world.

Even in their youth, dolphins seek out friends who will put them on the road to success as adults. This was found out by a US study that examined the mammals in Shark Bay in Western Australia. Barbara Barkhausen, who often deals with nature and animals in her articles and books, took a closer look at the study for us and spoke to me on the phone about this subject matter. - Delfine suchen bereits in ihrer Kindheit Freunde aus, die sie als Erwachsene auf Erfolgskurs bringen. Dies fand eine US-Studie heraus, die die Säugetiere in der Shark Bay in Westaustralien untersuchte. Barbara Barkhausen, die sich ja in ihren Artikel und Büchern häufig mit Natur und Tierwelt beschäftigt, hat sich die Studie genauer für uns angeschaut und sich mit mir am Telefon unterhalten.

Science in Action looks at some of the latest research on how response of our immune system to infection by the coronavirus. Researchers at Kings College London find that protective antibodies appear to fade away after about three months following infection whereas a team at the Karolinska Institute has discovered that although antibodies may decline, other important players called T cells in our defences do not. Dr’s Katie Doores and Marcus Buggert talk about the implications of these discoveries for the quest for a vaccine against the coronavirus. Roland Pease also talks to Dr Barney Graham of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the United States about the results from the Phase 1 trial of novel type of vaccine against the virus. NIAID have partnered with biotech company Moderna to produce the first mRNA vaccine in the Institute’s pandemic preparedness program. Biologist Dr Sonja Wild tells Roland about the remarkable fishing strategy devised by dolphins in Shark Bay, Australia. They chase fish into the empty shell of giant sea snails, then take the shells to the surface and tip the fish into their mouths. Dr Wild’s 7 years of research has revealed how the dolphins have learned to do this. Think of the oceans and an empty and peaceful expanse relatively untouched by humankind might come to mind. But is this peace an illusion? CrowdScience listener Dani wants to know if the noise of shipping and other human activity on the oceans is impacting on sea life. To find out, Marnie Chesterton takes a deep dive to learn how marine animals have evolved to use sound; from navigating their environments to finding a mate or hiding from prey. She then speaks to a scientist who is using acoustic observatories to track the many ways human activity - like sonar and shipping – can interfere. Marnie virtually visits a German lab which tests the ears of beached whales, dolphins and seals from around the world to try and ascertain whether they suffered hearing damage, and what might have caused it. What other smaller creatures are negatively impacted by underwater noise? Marnie learns that acoustic trauma is more widespread than first thought. As human life continues to expand along ocean waters, what is being done to reduce the impact of sound? Marnie meets some of the designers at the forefront of naval architecture to see how ship design, from propellers to air bubbles and even wind powered vessels can contribute to reducing the racket in the oceans.

Lou Bryson and acclaimed bourbon journalist and author wrote a captivating story called America's first memory of bourbon, the beams. I'm going to give you a little bit of context about the article and hope that you go read the rest of it because it gives a historical timeline of James bullguard beam, better known as Jim Beam, and distilling bourbon before prohibition, what he did after prohibition ended, and how this family lineage just as tie spreading all across the bourbon industry. Now during Prohibition, he tried other businesses including a rock quarry, and an orange grove that ultimately failed. So he found investors in Illinois to fund a new distillery after prohibition ended. Along with his son and two nephews. They built a distillery in 120 days and open on March 25th 1935. Jim was 70 years old at the time, and before prohibition, the beam family brand had been a 2:00 Old tub bourbon whiskey. To Jim's dismay, he learned that the rights the name had been sold during Prohibition. Despite this setback, he was undeterred. And that's when the whiskey officially became Jim Beam bourbon. The story then dives into this mid 1700s with Johan is Jacob beam. And then from there, the family lineage starts really spreading and talks about how they helped create early times distillery toddies liquor, heaven Hill, and their ties and estates of Weller Maker's Mark Frankfort distillery JW dance for roses, mixers, and so many more.

Oh my gosh, this is a great matchup if you're a sports fan, you get to see two amazing rushers in the San Francisco 40 Niners up against one of the most explosive offenses I have seen and some time. I mean, Patrick mahomes is this guy that you know, he may be down 25 points and he's like, Oh, yeah, I'm going to show you and I gotta tell you, I am so so glad that we have the matchup that we have because it is a 6:00 It is kind of like a football fans dream, great offense against great defense and one really good offense against a really good defense that you know what's going to give here. Anyway, this is not a football podcast. This is a bourbon podcast, so I should probably get to it. The reason why I bring up the Super Bowl, it wasn't until 2017 that the NFL even allowed spirits advertisers, so for years they had a ban on distilled spirits advertising within the NFL. Now, you got to remember to spirits had not been advertising on television until 1996. The industry had put a self imposed ban on advertising from spirits having this kind of notion that you know, if they promoted themselves, they could be drawing the ire of the prohibitionist this this held true until the mid 1990s until a small group 7:00 From Crown Royal that we call a code breakers broke the code of the distilled spirits Council and did a small little test ad in the Corpus Christi Texas market that went into like the spirits council changing their basically changing a lot of their their code. And so now you see spirits being advertised consistently. However, sports teams still struggle to bring in booze advertisers because what happens at these games people get really drunk. They make fools of themselves. I mean, there have been many incidents of people getting hurt. I think there are many people being killed by you know, drunken assholes before. And so it's often a bad look in the eyes of people who on these NFL teams to associate themselves with the liquor brand. Well, in 2019, the NFL actually changed their their belief they relax their policy on alcohol sponsorships, and allow the league to expand this game. 8:00 expand the use of basically allow a brand like Jim Beam to partner with a player. And that's the first time that anyone had ever done that. And if you recall a few years ago, you had Richard Sherman on the podium talking about how the NFL wouldn't allow people to partner with alcohol brands. So I'm glad to see that the NFL has relax those policies. I hope that it will continue because there is not many things better than enjoying a great football game with a good bourbon. So while you're watching the Superbowl, think about it. You're actually kind of witnessing a little bit of spirits history too, because I'm sure we're going to see some cool spirits ads. Let's just hope they're not blocking. And that's this week's above the char Hey, if you want to learn more about the history of bourbon and advertising, check out my book bourbon, the rise fall and rebirth of American whiskey and make sure you're subscribing to my YouTube channel and checking out my new podcast. Just search my name Fred minich. Until next week, 9:00 Cheers 9:04 Welcome back to another episode of bourbon pursuit the official podcast of bourbon getting in Fred here today. And this is going to be talking to really it's it's kind of like two facets of it. We talk a lot about having retailers on the show and sort of what has that meant in regards to the bourbon boom and the business and, and really how they are changing their strategy of going forward and how they're, they're really marketing the products inside of their their walls to these newer consumers. But on the other hand, our guest today also comes with a pretty storied past. She's had her name on sides of bottles and all these things before that has kind of took her to a new level of fame where she's had write ups in multiple magazines and articles and blogs and stuff like that. So I'm really excited to talk to our guests today. Fred, how did you come to know our guests 10:01 Well, I think, honestly, it was through will it like I, I, I learned of her very early on 10:10 when I was writing my book, whiskey women, and she was kind of became like this, like this kind of like folklore legend, within, like, within the legends of bourbon, you know, I, I find 10:30 our guest today to be one of the most 10:35 underrated heroes of bourbon, and I'm a really American whiskey. And I genuinely mean that because she's very humble. She doesn't like attention. She doesn't want to be in the limelight. She just loves whiskey. And at the end of the day, I think that that's why most of us adore her. Yeah, I think I think he's 11:00 said it, right? It was funny when we were when I was talking to our guest lyndale today about getting her on the podcast and I was trying to say like, oh, like, you know, I promise like it'll be good like, here's our number she goes I don't give a shit about your numbers. You know, it's really funny. She's like, I just shy she didn't care. And and most of the time you talked to a lot of people in this industry and they kind of want to know what your reaches like, what are you going to help them and she's she was she's very humble about it. And hopefully that that's really going to shine through as we start talking here. So without further ado, let's go ahead and introduce our guests. So today on the show, we have Lynette Camacho Santa Ana, she is she the boss of one L's beverage boutique in Birmingham, Alabama. So Linda, welcome to the show. Thank you. Well, we're very excited to have you on and kind of before we get into the story of you and Lynn Nels and the Willetts and all that kind of stuff kind of talk about like your introduction to whiskey. Can you were 12:00 Remember that sort of first bottle that first taste, you know, we've had other distillers on and they say oh, we've had my, my grandpappy gave me a wee nip when I was a little little young lad like what's what's your what's your story there come from a teetotaler background so there was no drinking in my youth had an alcoholic grandfather so my introduction to whiskey was him coming home drunk, beaten the fuck out of my grandma. So there's some reality of our business right there. 12:28 I did not drink until I was 21. So my best recollection of like a first whiskey would have been 12:37 probably jack daniels passed around a campfire, like many folks and in the south. 12:43 kind of talk about your, your, you know, where you come from your youth and all that sort of stuff as well, because I think you kind of talked about a pretty interesting background. I grew up here in Alabama, in North Alabama. I left Birmingham 12:59 in 2000 13:00 went to New York. I was in Birmingham for 10 years before I went to New York. I was in New York for about 10 years before I moved to Mexico. And now back in in Alabama as of 2011. Now hold on Kenny, we have to anytime I talk to someone from Alabama, I gotta find out. Are you an Auburn fan? Or tide fan? May there I don't give a shit. 13:24 Would you say you might be the only Alabama that does not care about college football? Well, I've always been a critical thinker. And growing up I never understood why my family were Crimson Tide fans when nobody in my family had graduated from high school, much less gone to college. So I always question like, Where did that start is some kind of like heritage thing, like who woke up one day and said, Oh, Roll Tide. 13:50 That's hilarious to me. So I kind of want to also touch on sort of the history of you and how the 14:00 Brand kind of got started, can you can you really kind of take us back in the history books and and sort of like where did the idea come from to open up the first boutique? When I mentioned in your My goal was to really just deep dive into the industry and fate and figure out my path and I didn't move to New York in 2000 with the goal of opening the store, but I worked in retail, I worked in restaurant and done bartending. 14:25 I had a master's degree in Public Administration, I was in university admin before I left Alabama and went to New York, but it was time to really pursue my heart and just take the risk to jump into the industry with both feet. So 14:41 after work and pretty much all aspects of the business including sales, 14:47 rep five different wine books in New York 14:51 before I opened the store, and I didn't know whether I was going to do the store or bar first. 14:58 But it just fell into place. 15:00 made sense for me to go with the store first my goal has always been to open an on and off premise business situation at some point but the the on premise never happened in New York. 15:12 And in 2003, I opened the store and Red Hook Brooklyn after finding a little hole in the wall that I could afford to. To get started with it was boarded up. storefront actually had concrete blocks in the window. 15:30 It wasn't just boarded up it was concrete blocks. And the neighborhood that was 15:36 pretty rough around the edges. There was a meth clinic around the corner and 15:41 a whole lot of shenanigans in that neighborhood. The median income was $10,000. three fourths of the population lived in subsidized housing. 15:49 But it felt like the right space for me and they turned out it was incredibly successful in red Hook's crazy now with real estate but um 15:58 Wow, it's it's amazing. 16:00 seem to think about this. But, you know, you were part of the story of turning around. Red Hook. Yeah, I was part of that story. I wasn't. Yeah, I can't take credit for all that went on in Red Hook, but I was definitely a part of it. 16:15 Good or bad. I mean, the word gentrification has lots of connotations and I don't ever feel like a ginger fire because I think there's a certain level of income has to come with that. And I've scrapped a whole lot in my life to be where I am today, but I did come with a trust bond open up anything. 16:35 But yeah, I think the same thing here in my neighborhood and Birmingham, I found this property and it felt right and everybody thought I was crazy, just like they did in Red Hook Brooklyn. And I said, why not? What Why doesn't every neighborhood deserve a good liquor store? No matter what the economics are? Yeah. What were those early days like me who was like your average customer? What were you selling? There in Red Hook? What was that like? 17:00 was all over the place and it's really funny to go back and look, one day I run across some some old notes from the like the first few months it was hilarious because it was like 17:14 well painted my nails sold a bottle of Pappy 17:21 was just like slow and sleep because I nobody knew me you know and opening here in Birmingham was just like, night and day like we hit the ground running and we've been just packed from the beginning. But um, you know, our early customers were a lot of neighbors in Red Hook, spanning the demographics, black and brown and young and old and all economics. And then once people discovered what I was doing, it just became like this Mecca destination spot where people came from all over New York as well as you know, when I'd be trapped people be traveling to New York, they make the effort to come out Red Hook was like a 45 minute 18:00 schlepped from the closest subway stop, so it wasn't an easy place to get to people had to really want to be there. 18:07 Now in that first in that first year, like we we see on the nightly news of, of liquor store robbing robberies all the time, and that was certainly the neriah at the time when you you mentioned, you know, some of the shenanigans that were going on when you were moving in. Did you ever have any incidents early on or was there any like times you you like you were afraid to open up or closed or anything like that because of I never had any crime and I fully believe that you attract what you put out. And if you walk in fear, then you attract reasons to be afraid. I walked out of that store many nights with thousands of dollars after midnight and walked in my apartment. I never had anybody bother me. And this is a great story. I love telling this story because there were you 19:00 A lot of people like I said three fourths of the neighbor population lived in New York's biggest housing project 19:05 and there was a gentleman who came in the store in the the early days of it opening and 19:13 you know, the kind of guy that might my warning bells would that you know, you get the racist shit with you grits everybody does it don't matter what how much you gonna say you ain't racist. We all have stupid, runs their heads, he walks in the door and I was like he's backed me up. 19:29 Gold grill he just looked like he was ready to come in there and race somehow with me. I'm 19:36 trying to just suppress all the crap that was running through my head and treat him like I was going to treat anybody else and he became a great customer. He was a man of few words. He would bring his friends in. He bought the banana vodka to begin with. We finally moved him up the Shark Bay so 19:53 he's buying like sharp I blood orange like it 19:56 but the end of that story is 20:00 One night, we got over here him talking to some friends. And he said, 20:06 Yo, man, have you been to that woman's store? She treats you with respect. There's no bulletproof glass, and she's got really nice things in there. Boom. I mean, 20:20 here's a man living in the housing projects. And it looks like he might be the kind of guy who's gonna like, take you down. And yeah, he wants to be treated with respect, just like anybody else. 20:30 Yeah. 20:32 And again, I think that kind of goes back to what we were talking about earlier. And just, you know, the personality you kind of show it through there and what that means. But you know, one thing I kind of want to touch on one more time before we go too much into the your time here in New York. Because you said that you were going to go all in, but what was what was that like? pivotal moment or what was that idea that said, Yeah, I do want to go all in. Because you know, you had you had come from a background that 21:00 Didn't have any any alcoholic you know you didn't drink anything growing up you kind of abusive in the grandfather era. So kind of talk about like what made you want to do that as well? Well, I got custody of 14 year old sister when I was 21 years old and 21:17 I needed like many people who get into the liquor business and some form of bartending to make money and so I was bartending and cocktail waitressing on the side, just have some income to better support our household. 21:32 got bitten by the bug and for years, I just kind of dabbled in that way. I wasn't doing it full on. 21:40 But you know, sitting in my office at university one day pushing a bunch of papers around my desk, I realized I was really spending a whole lot of my office time plucking off and researching drinks. 21:53 I was like, you know, maybe I need to really rethink this had a very cushy job with great benefits, but I'm 22:00 Friend of mine who's a librarian once gave me a book. It's been around for a zillion years in a million iterations called What color is your parachute. And if you actually go through that book and you do all the exercises, which are not easy, it really makes you sit and dig deep. It will give you an idea of what your heart's passion is career wise. And so at the end of that, I was like, I need to be in the liquor business, and I need to move to New York. So I literally just like yeah, I quit my job, sold my house, sold my car, and then packed a moving truck and went to New York. But now 22:33 as there's often in a story that involves involves New York, there's there's a romance aspect of that because I was dating a guy long distance for a long time in Indiana, and he had to said, let's finally get together. We've been together for four years. He's like, you want to go to Atlanta or New York and I was like, fuck Atlanta, let's move to New York together. And he broke up with me before I actually did the move, but I took red lipstick and wrote on my mirror for me and I did it anyway. 22:58 That's awesome. I mean, cuz 23:00 That's actually I was getting ready to ask like why New York of all places, right? Because sometimes, you know, my wife she spent a an internship in New York one year, it's not an easy place to live it'll it'll chew you up and swallow you up because it's, it's, it's very, very expensive to live and some of the parts of it and stuff like that. So, interesting story and just, you know, if you want to be in the liquor business, because everybody wants to be in New York, so you have tremendous access to things but um, I went to New York when I was 18 years old or seven, I was 17 for a high school senior trip, and it was the first place I ever felt like I was home. Yeah, I mean, it's it's a melting pot of all kinds of races and cultures and, and everything right there. And I think the one thing that I love about New York is least when you go is you could go to a different restaurant every day, your life and you could never run out of places to go eat. Yeah, I wish you could run out of money. Yesterday real quick. 23:54 Well, you could live in New York. I mean, yeah, everybody wants talk about rent and real estate, but you can live in New York. 24:00 economically. I mean, I did it for years. Hmm. Alright, so let's get back to whiskey business here. So what was let's let's talk about, you know, it's a package store. And we understand that most of the time that it's not whiskey that sells and keeps the door open. It's everything else that's that's around there as much as Fred, to his chagrin, he has to understand how that works, right. But kind of talk about now, unless maybe unless you live now. So kind of talk about like, was there a, like a niche or a market for whiskey that you saw when you were pushing it, like kind of talk about how you you started getting into that business? My main thing was how I started focusing on bourbon. When I opened my store. I didn't know shit about bourbon. That's just being honest. But it was my Southern connection. And so when I was sitting down and just trying to like, vision board, my store concept was like, it just makes sense for me to make a big focus 25:00 Because of this store be my Southern connection. And so of course, you know, bourbon, why else not? Um, so, you know, those first month the store was incredibly slow and I would, we were open till midnight, things were definitely slow from 10 to midnight. So every night 10 to midnight, I would pop sounds and taste it and I be on straight bourbon calm, like, What the hell was everybody saying? What is this, you know, get out there. Just try to like, soak up as much as I could. And 25:29 it just sort of, you know, I was preaching bourbon before it would became cool. And it wasn't even that, you know, I wasn't like trying to create a trend or whatever. I was just really just trying to be true to myself and raise. Well, I think if you're on straight bourbon, you were one of the early people that were really talking about it. I mean, that's that's the big board, if you will, well, you know, it was General Nelson. Everybody would gather for every bourbon festival and and so did you kind of foster because I know that a lot of people from straight bourbon still hang out there. 26:00 They'd still do the the kbF kind of gatherings and stuff like that. It Were you a part of that that early group in those sort of gatherings too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you know, I always had rumors. 26:14 Yeah, Sam I met Chuck Cowdery. We had his 26:19 straight bourbon book launch at one of the members houses there in Kentucky and 26:25 but once the store became so busy, it was just impossible for me to stay as active on the board. 26:30 I had to pull away of course, I couldn't, couldn't sit around and fuck off on the computers. 26:38 Absolutely. And so I guess was that just business taking off just in general? Because you had mentioned at the very beginning? Yeah, you painted your nails soda bottle. And then I guess I guess at some point you hit like the inflection point. Yeah, I made. A mentor told me when I opened you're going to think you're dying for three years. And then something magical happens in the third year. 27:00 And that's exactly what happened. It was like, third anniversary came around and then all of a sudden they just took off. 27:08 So you start getting into whiskey. Talk about like the selection that you you started off with and did it grow over time like as you got into bourbon and you tried to 27:20 get my hands on in New York, and there's, you know, a lot of availability there. And it didn't matter what it was. You know, if it said Barban on it up, put it on my shelf. 27:31 We did what we call cats and dogs, tastings and do whatever it wasn't just all about, you know, trying to have Julian Van Winkle come in store. Um, you know, even a funny story. The first time I met Julian was at 27:46 one of the whiskey festivals in New York and I was scared shitless 27:51 I was like, I said, I just gotta rock this I just put on some like pink suede pants and black. Hi Oh birds, Walker Banyan. 28:00 A sea of drunken men and walked up to God and and handed him my business card and said, You don't know me, but you need to and I just walked away. 28:09 We, you know, made friendships over the years. And we tell these stories, and it's hilarious, but he was like, I just like, hell is this. 28:18 So yeah, we came to my store, and we did a bottle signing in those early days. And I had people just like, packed and then the black cars came from lower Manhattan. And he just was looking at me, he's like, what the hell, I've never done an event like this. And I was like, well get ready. It's common. If you don't know it, you're about to just be blown away and he was like, Okay. 28:42 So, you know, I was an early believer in what he was doing with the Pappy label, and when I close the store 2009 I still had I still had Pappy on the shelf. I started right around the show. Wow. You know, it was that in my basement for years. 28:58 So speaking of Red Hook, right 29:00 Let's let's get into that. How did that happen? Uh, much in the same way as anything. I believe it happens. It just happens naturally. That wasn't anything I clamored for drew and I became friends through the industry. 29:16 I remember the first time I met him, he came to one of the whiskey festivals in the room was all a buzz because, you know, Evan had been a hermit for so long. And he was there's a Causeway near Oh my god. Andrew, like me was very Matter of fact, just like, cut through the bullshit, just tell things like it was and we hit it off, stayed in touch. And once I think we were just like hanging out in Bardstown and he said you should do we should do a barrel we should we should do a label for you. 29:45 And we didn't did and wasn't a whole lotta not a whole lot of thought process. Just say Sure. Why not. Let's 29:53 kind of created this iconic label. You know, first of all, Red Hook ride just has such a 30:00 Beautiful name to it. And even if you're not familiar with the Red Hook area, like you could live in Boise, Idaho and not be familiar with that area, you're like, wow, Red Hook is such a cool name. And then you see that and you see that arm with the tat it just was that your idea? I mean, who came up with the name and that art? I came up with the name because I was trying to do something to honor my neighborhood. 30:26 Amanda alliteration, so that was a natural thing. 30:31 The artwork was the the Brooklyn artists who did my postcard artwork, and I don't know if you ever saw him on postcards, but they were incredibly racy. 30:42 He was just hilarious and he would always push even for me would push my boundaries of racy 30:49 that 30:51 I was talking to marketing forums about design and the label and he just showed up and he was like, Can I give it a go? Can I just like, throw something that 31:00 Gather and you tend to whether you like it or not, before you like commit to these big firms to design a label for you. And he showed up at the store one day, and he was like, Well, you know, I'm trying to be you, you're trying to be true to the neighborhood. I call it red and grind like to be true to the history of the neighborhood. And 31:16 this being on the waterfront of Brooklyn and stevedores being a part of the history of, you know, big burly man on the Datsun loading ships and whatnot. And so yeah, he just presented it and I was like, done. That's the label right there. 31:30 I mean, seriously, it is. It is a kind of a showstopper, you're walking around, you see that label, even if you don't know anything about whiskey, or you want to taste it, you want to look at that beautiful piece of art, because that's what it is. It's art. So it's gorgeous. Yeah, he was so much fun to work with and just trying to do things outside the box. I mean, there's so many boring whiskey labels out here. 31:54 I'm working on another one right now. That's going to really make you 32:00 laugh a lot. Oh, they like nails crazy as hell. 32:05 It took a break. She was like, we just got to do this. And it's using a local artist here in Birmingham. 32:11 And I'm keeping it under wraps for that. 32:14 Well give us till the end of the show to get it out of you. 32:19 Take us take us through the process of selecting the whiskey for Red Hook, right because yes, the label is gorgeous. But I've got Red Hook rise one of the top five rise I've ever tasted. I mean, it's it's incredible. So take us through selecting that whiskey. As you know there were four barrels and the first barrel drew a night with a couple other folks are just in the warehouse, literally like just walking 32:50 over barrels and 32:53 popping bongs and tasting whiskey and passing it around like yes, no, yes. No, yes. No. And that number 33:00 One is still my favorite of all four barrels. I mean you know what's really just being able to paint kind of the cream of the crop the the barrel was phenomenal. Do you remember some of the the ages that were on these? Cuz I can't I can't bring up my notes right? That first one was 23 years and the rest were 24 you know, not a lot of people know that to make happy 2030 stocks. I don't even drink it. 33:26 The age of bourbon it at that level is usually mean it's over worded and it won't hold up in a glass. tell people all the time you can spend a fortune on Patrick 23 like let it sit on your counter for half a second come back and it's like, you know, oxidized and cloudy and funky. 33:43 But you know what made that whiskey so special with that he said they had dumped the barrels that they had initially bought and refilled bourbon barrels with the rye so that whiskey could sit there for a little longer at that age. 34:00 not be so over the top with wood. And we didn't really talk about that we didn't market it. But that that's one thing that made those all those barrels so special. And then the, you know, it's been so long I don't remember who was with me on each pit, but at one point I drove down with Don les from New York who had worked with me a little bit in the shop, and he's now you know, cocktail rock. He's like a Barton and God is he's amazing. And I really treasure him. He came down with me and another. Another guy got started just kind of working with me in the shop. We had one at one point. They each came I can't remember which barrel that was. 34:46 It's been so many good barrels. He came. Well, when he was there. I remember you know, we were just passing glass around. We all had to agree on it. It was you know, it was I had to pass my lips first and I thought it was worthy and then I passed 35:00 sit around and we were all like, man, yeah. Or maybe it had to be like a like all out like, Yeah, that one. So very scientific process kind of. 35:09 It sounds like exactly what happens in barrels selections nowadays. So it's just, you just, you know, you just had the luxury of being in there quite early when Yeah, like that was around. Yeah, yeah, that's never gonna happen again. You know, I've had so many people reach out to me. There's a store in Red Hook that asked me if they could buy the rights to it. And I was like, dude, that's not going to exist anymore. I that label is done. There's a Red Hook rye beer. Like if somebody's been trying to launch that today they'd be sued by somebody making beer that wouldn't like that label to be around. 35:43 So now I'm going to be your agent here the the asking price they so they want to come in and they want to buy that the the Red Hook right rights. What do you think and Kenny started out a 15 million. That a good that a good number? That's up there. 35:58 Right. Maybe maybe five 36:00 That's a five. Okay, so we're going I was going to high. Alright, so now we'll we'll come in and negotiate this for you get a 5 million deal. We won't even we won't even take a cut. We just want the whiskey. 36:14 Well, what Red Hook right? Red Hook right? do you have left? I don't even have any. I don't have any left. I'm not I sold all of it to raise money to finish my store. I had such a struggle getting the money I needed to finish construction. 36:30 It took me seven years to get open here. Wow. I really didn't even realize what I was sitting on. I've been out of it for a bit as a new mom and haven't been out of the country for two years. And my ex husband kept saying you have got all this whiskey out. You have no idea. It's like everybody at my bar is asking me if you if you'll sell it to them and I'm like whatever. I come on. Got some Pappy and some record Rob big deal. And then one day I called and talked to drew and I was like, Hey, man, I'm really hurt and I need I need to get this business. 37:00 I've been 37:01 divorced and you know, things were really tough. It's a single mom. And he's like, Well, I know, Doug sold some of his bottles for like 3700 or something. So I know you can can get around that, you know, and I put the whole set of four out 37:17 bottles number two, and I couldn't get anybody to offer me more than 20,000 for all four. And I had everybody under the sun messaging me and, you know, some even like calling me names. It was it was a side of the sex is bullshit in this business that I hadn't been exposed to in a long time and kind of threw me I was so disrespected in that process. And you know, and then you see now like those same guys who were like, call me a con or trying to sell for number two's for $20,000 or turn around now and sell one for 16. 37:52 So I'm like, Okay, well, I'll just stick to my retail and y'all can play around with the bootleg. And I'm done with that. Yeah. 38:00 Isn't for that is unfortunately a really 38:04 nasty side of our culture that you know it's very much very pocketed to the enthusiast side like you don't really see that but I'm sorry you went through that I really am sorry you went through that as as as somebody who loves this community and 38:23 i'd love I'd love it if that would stop but sadly it won't and and i will tell you that they they attacked you for being a woman you know they say similar things to man they just that I've seen this time and time again and those groups is like when it comes to this stuff people go overboard and the private messages and then they get very dirty very mean. And I'm very sorry you had to go so different from the environment of like a straight bourbon com or bourbon enthusiast calm experience I'd had. Well, yeah, there 39:00 Be a TIFF, Aaron there, but it was overall a very civilized and yeah, the level of bourbon mania going on in these secret pages is something that really disgusts me. And here's the thing to live now, how much of those people really know? And what do they really add to the conversation? Yeah, I mean, just wanting money grew, you know, Drew and I've had many conversations about that kind of thing. And you know, I'm grateful. I'm grateful that that exists in many ways. 39:31 Because I did end up selling my bottles and that money put the roof on my store, but at the same time, there's a I don't know, I've always been about building the relationships. It's never been about just the business or barely whiskey for me. And when it gets to this level of just doggy dog, who's who's got the biggest collection and who can get the most money for it. I just bores me. 39:57 Yeah, absolutely. And it's 40:00 And I think you'd kind of hit the are you said it right there. Last time I checked, I think some of those red hooks were 15 even up to 18,000 bottles, something like that. And I guess like what is what's your thought on that valuation or price? 40:19 With the careers of master distiller spanning almost 50 years, as well as Kentucky bourbon Hall of Famer and having over 100 million people taste his products. Steve nalli is a legend of bourbon who for years made Maker's Mark with expertise and precision. His latest project is with Bardstown bourbon company, a state of the art distillery in the heart of the bourbon capital of the world. They're known for the popular fusion series, however, they're adding something new in 2020 with a release named the prisoner. It starts as a nine year old Tennessee bourbon that has been finished in the prisoner wine companies French oak barrels for 18 months. The good news is, you don't have to wait till next year to try it. Steve and the team at Bardstown bourbon company have teamed up with rack house whiskey club rack 41:00 Whiskey club is a whiskey Month Club on a mission to uncover the best flavors and stories that craft distilleries across the US have to offer.

Get your hands on some early release Bardstown bourbon by signing up at rack house whiskey club.com use code pursuit for $25 off your first box 41:30 what is what's your thought on that valuation or price? I mean, is that something that I know you probably never dreamed it would be like that but like what is your What is your really like your gut thought? Do you really think you really think it's worth that you kind of like man, it's just that's just crazy shit. Like, you know, you've heard this a million times is anything worth it? I mean, that's object and if you think it's worth it, you got that kind of cash and it's worth it but you know, I spent 41:58 $17,000 on my 42:00 Business property $5,000 on my house I'm living in. When I say these kind of numbers, it makes me quiver a little bit because I'm like, wow, like that's, that's like a place somebody could live and you're just going to piss that in a couple of hours. So yeah, it's a little disturbing sometimes. But then, you know, if that's the kind of cash flow you have, who am I to judge you for spending that kind of money on? escape? I mean, there's people who had that's just a blip in their bank account. So you know, I bless it and saying, may you be even even better and and more well off to benefit somebody. 42:35 So Kenny, there's a retailer in California selling a bottle of Red Hook rye for $30,000. Well, you say selling they might have it out there, but that doesn't mean it's being bought. And it's just like the guy 42:51 in New York with 50. I mean, Lee Lee taqman bought that set that I just mentioned, the number two's he bought some other bottles. 43:00 For me as well. And then when you put that Red Hook where I set out $475,000 on this website, it went like wildfire. And I messaged him, I was like, like, I like you. You spent less than $4,000 a bottle on some of that stuff. So like, Where's that number coming from? And he just laughed. He's like, Man, it's just marketing. Everybody's talking about it. And it went viral. And he was a marketing genius for doing it. He brought ton of people to his business because they were all like, Oh, my God brought $475,000 That's crazy. But you know, people came to the store to talk about it or see what else he had. Somebody sent me a link the other day Christie's auction house had a Red Hook. Right? Let's starting bed of 20,000. 43:40 Okay, I think we've we've talked about the Red Hook. rhyolite and just the crazy valuation goes, I know bottle for 50,000 Okay, get my checkbook out. 43:51 got here. 60. Okay, well, let's, uh, let's wait until the next. Maybe that should just be like the new index like it's the Red Hook right? 44:00 index to see like how how crazy is the bourbon Richter Scale getting year after year? Maybe that's what you should do with your stuff. Guineans, the just start pricing it 1000 to $5,000 a bottle and then people go crazy for it. See what happens. I'm all I'm all about it 44:16 is Red Hook ride number one I saw bows for $75 a bottle 44:24 but even back then, this was what what year was this? 2008 nine um I think the rennaker I started in what was it? 2007 I can't remember the year but yeah, even back then 75 is a probably might have been a lot for a lot of folks, you know? Well yeah, I mean, it was but a barrel for went up to 350 and people were like, Whoa, she's getting crazy. 44:52 And so let's let's kind of like move that forward because you know, those those bottles help build the business down in Alabama. So kind of 45:00 Talk about you know, seven years to get this this up and running kind of that. That's That's a long time to really work on something I mean, kind of talk about what was there, you know, other than getting money I mean, were there any other kind of like hiccups and hurdles that you had to face along the way to make that happen? Because everybody knows that an Alabama it's really easy to just open up liquor stores. Opening is pretty easy. I mean, it's, it's not difficult to open a private store here. 45:28 The liquor licensing process is not dreadful at all. Um, 45:34 I figured what control states it'd be a nightmare. It's not at all and it was even cheaper to open here than it was to open in New York as far as licensing and everything. You know, the challenges were it was mostly financial. And I said I would never do this again, unless I own the property. I bought the property thought that it would be pretty easy to get financing having done this before, and I learned real quickly that since I'd been closed for so long, it was considered 46:00 At a new startup, I brought my husband here from Mexico and we had to go through naturalization for him. I got pregnant, you know, there was just a whole lot of stuff on my plate, then, you know, it was a great lesson and what a woman goes through when you decide to start life again 46:21 as a single mother, because 46:25 it was very difficult for me to 46:30 one make living while I was trying to open the store and there were plenty of people were like, yeah, we don't mind you know, come up here and Bartana bartended a shit ton of private parties. 46:39 Like, pamper myself out made things work. But the financing like so many people be like, Oh, yeah, you know what you're doing. But you know, once you've been open for three years, 46:50 get money from us. That's the classic you know, like once you're once you don't need it, you can get it and that there's a lot of systemic racism and I call that out regularly. 47:00 And that doesn't go over real well. Neighborhoods who are predominantly African American really struggle with getting investment money from banks oftentimes. So yeah, there was a whole lot of challenges to jump through. But yeah, I just took it. I took it one day at a time, one moment at a time. And it took me seven years, but I did it. 47:21 I'm glad you did. And I'll tell you, I don't know 47:27 the strength that you 47:30 have exuded in that timeframe. Most people would give up. 47:35 Yeah, it was really tough. But you know, it made me go deep. And I think the biggest thing and going through that challenge. 47:45 I, I had become a caricature of myself in New York in many ways. I had built this business and I had built this character called lamelle. And going through what I did to get open again here, I feel like I am more 48:00 true to myself and more rooted and grounded in the core of my being and ever before so that's good there's always some good to come through those difficult times. So I'm just just just thinking about if I were to put myself in in your shoes if I if I were a single parent and having to go through all that and face the banking challenges I probably would have moved on to something else. And and so I kind of like just the human element of us all you know why why didn't you give up? Why was this store so important to you to start? 48:39 Um, I knew the impact this business can have on this neighborhood and I'm I'm very much a believer and impact of business on social justice have always been that way. And this neighborhood when I came to visit it to look at this property just grabbed me by the heart and wouldn't let go and neighbors just were like, We need you here and we're behind 49:00 You here and I had neighbors who said when I first came here 49:05 I didn't even know me while you're trying to figure stuff out here live in my house or here we've got this you know, I showed up here with a suitcase and next thing I know like people had just like showed up with stuff to like help me get through 49:19 that moving from Mexico period. So I felt that in Red Hook to there was a sense of community and so there was Yeah, there I really did feel like I was being pulled 49:32 by higher calling through that whole process. 49:36 And I knew that was going to be bigger than what I even understood and I many times, I've had conversations with beautiful souls like Brit calls me and just sit and say I just in tears, like, I don't know why this is happening the way it is, but there is something on the other side of this that I meant to do. And 49:57 one of my big things with opening the cafe constant 50:00 Next to the store that I feel so strongly about is that this business is ready to be turned on its head. And we've beat up people in hospitality. We overwork them. We don't respect homelife, you have souls like Sean Brock who claim to shit up and he's been really outspoken about this too. 50:21 We've lost a lot of people in this business. People don't want to talk about it, but it's over consumption and drug use and just not taking care of themselves. And I really want my whole business concept with the store and the cafe concept next door to me about hope and healing and and how can you have an alcohol business and I'm still figuring this out, but have the message that you can build community around consumption and it not get to the level where we're fucking ourselves. 50:51 And I know that's deep but that's where I am. That's where we need to go. I mean, in the last 50:57 you know, from Sasha 51:00 kreski to 51:03 you know, the gentleman we lost and Miami to Anthony Bourdain, and we've lost so many iconic people in the hospitality space. And, you know, I've been covering this this industry for a long time. And we're looking at tells you the cocktail. And almost a quarter of the seminars are about taking care of yourself. So the industry knows that we have to change or we won't have an industry anymore, or at least we won't have the talent. Yeah, no, I'm very thankful that you've seen this and you're pushing for it well, and as a mom, too, I see how hard it is for women to stay in this business and raise a family because I don't care how wonderful you are as a dad. Nine times out of 10 the woman is still doing most of the childcare. And so to still be like the one who's taking care of the babies and more than likely doing the laundry and washing the dishes and running a business or staying in you know, as a manager of a restaurant or 52:00 Whatever it is, it's really difficult for women and I, that's another aspect of what I'm hoping to do with this businesses is proved that it can be done in a way that respects and supports women. You know, I was a breastfeeding mom when I was working 52:16 behind the bar and, like, who offers a woman pump breaks behind a bar? Nobody. You know, my breasts are being gorgeous. I'm like, freaking out, like, What am I supposed to do? Like, like, how do I had a breast pump in the bathroom and a paper towel holder. 52:34 Those conversations need to be had, you know, it's not just about young folks that we just like we're out to their bodies won't handle it anymore. We run everybody out of the business that you know, has a lot to contribute to the business. So 52:47 I have a proposal for you. What's that? Let's do a seminar tells the cocktail next year. Oh, Lord, I boycotted towels back in 2008. 52:57 I know it's now. Yeah, it's just 53:02 Kenya, I gotta tell you, it's it's this kind of a passion that is really outside of whiskey. But within whiskey that to me, is is the future of our culture. You know, so our culture cannot live on whiskey alone. It has to it has to come together as a community and this recognition that there's potentially substance abuse problems. That is huge. That is huge. And she brought up Sean Brock, you know, friend of mine friend of yours, and, you know, he is he's had a very public battle with alcoholism. I mean, Sean, that guy can't even go to the grocery store without getting in the New York Times. But yeah, it's covered a lot but I want to come back to you, a little you something you brought up as you is. 54:00 Is the woman angle and I'm very passionate about this of like, you know creating a an environment in the whiskey industry that is women feel comfortable in its big reason why I wrote the book I did. And then I love going back to your label you kind of have a little bit of the Rosie riveter angle feel to it. Do you feel like it is better today than it was 1015 years ago 54:32 as a woman, uh, taking out the the creepy guys on on the bourbon secondary markets, but do you feel like today is better than it was 1015 years ago as a woman in whiskey. Although, of course there's been tremendous progress and we have more women in the business, you know, in leadership capacity than we ever have. Probably. 54:53 Okay, I mean, of course the answer is yes. Yeah. And it's it's made progress. I mean, there's still like a shit ton of rain. Yeah. 55:00 donating 55:02 what are some areas we need improvement upon? 55:05 marketing? It's you know, I'm sure you hear this from so many women. We're all tired of saying the good old boy marketing when Matthew McConaughey got involved with wild turkey there's always Oh, I'm gonna reinvent wild turkey I'm like, oh, it still looks like I got all boy backslapping club. Okay, well how was that? So like groundbreaking. 55:25 I mean, commercials are beautiful but like what what did that what boundary did that push? 55:32 marketing? Yeah, I mean, it doesn't need to be like, Oh, look at this beautiful space drinking some whiskey. And it needs to be real, it needs to be wrong. 55:43 That's one of the in marketing is powerful marketing not only with with real women, but people of color. 55:52 let's let's let's talk about some, you know, LGBTQ up in here to just throw all that up in there. And so we're just starting to scratch the surface of 56:00 Conservative whiskey world. I agree. Do you see a lot of that today and hopefully we can see more of that change in progress you know as as this comes along and I think having a voice like yours being really outspoken in you know, there's there's a lot of industry people that listen this podcast and they're going to hopefully take note of that too and, and kind of see that change. But we are trying to work on website ideas. My website is still a landing page and looks like shit. But I'm, you know, talking to companies about website ideas. And I'm saying the same kind of things. I'm just saying to you like now we need images, images that reflect my customers, you know, why can't we have two black hands toasting or 56:42 two women looking like they're celebrating their wedding? And then the market marketing guys at these website companies are like, Well, I mean, those images don't really exist for us and I'm like, Okay, well then let's take some frickin pictures. Let's create the images. I don't just give me this excuse some light. You don't have those images and some stock model. 57:01 Yeah, that's powerful. Like what we say what becomes the norm? I've seen a lot of those photos, I think you need new marketing people exactly right. This is why my webpage still sucks because I haven't found the right company. 57:13 So we are kind of running up on the top of this out real quick. And I kind of want to circle back to just to your story again to kind of wrap this up and, and so seven years the doors open, kind of talk about what business has been like because you mentioned the first store it was kind of like all right, it'll build up there's an inflection point like and you said this one was just hit the ground running on day one, kind of kind of talk about what what that's been in, you know, and whether it's been a blessing or curse with work and everything else. It's been a huge blessing. I'm very grateful. And it's 57:48 it's just a I'm amazed when I opened in New York, really work the store pretty much by myself for three years, and my boyfriend at the time when he got off work would come in and I put in time and 58:00 Well, 58:01 but it took really in New York three years before I could, I could hire a full on team and I have two full time staff right now and I'm interviewing to hire two more so I have a total of four in the first year I'm already there. I'm at sales and in one year here that it took me four years to get to in New York City. Wow, that's impressive to be able to do that in Birmingham in New York, and you know, I just did my employees annual reviews 58:34 with a sip of Appleton 50. No Berman 58:38 It's okay. You're still speaking to Fred spreads heartstrings there 58:43 15 minute good. It wasn't oh my god is so good. I'm makes me want to definitely go do a staff trip to Jamaica. 58:52 Yeah, one of the things that came out of that it's my staff's like, you know, you have kind of been backslapping that you've not been in the store. 59:00 Managing because in New York It was very very difficult for me to walk away and let employees do their thing. Because I had just like I Uz that store for so long I mean I'm many times I slept on the floor of that store and got up and just kept going. But to see the success and just for me to be at a place of growth to 59:20 I've been able to let go and trust employees already to start managing things. It took me years and New York to get to 59:27 it. So we're going to start working on the cafe concept. That's the next thing and that's going to be probably about two years out but it's a huge project we're taking on a big Greek Revival on the store calm it's right next to the store. That's going to be pretty amazing project. 59:49 JOHN brought come down and play with me Ben. 59:53 sent a few text messages. I did but you know, we haven't snagged him yet. 1:00:00 So we had, we did have one question in the chat that came from Mikey Conrad. And you know, because you've got this history of kind of opening up businesses that are more like in impoverished areas. And he asked a question, are you working with other organizations or partnering with other stores to help in that sort of same socio economic background to help start their business and Kickstarter, Kickstarter it off the ground as well? That's a great question. And it's something that I do feel very strongly about. Um, there's been some talk about trying to form like a Business Association, the Merchants Association in this area, this area, does not have a whole lot of business at all, the old business quarter is pretty much gone. 1:00:39 There's a lot of talk of with connecting our neighborhood, we have millions of dollars of deltan development going on a mile down the road. So there's been a lot of talk of time to connect that and 1:00:51 how we do that to keep mom and pop businesses a part of that and not just the whole bunch of chains. But, you know, my goal, my long term goal is to really get to a point where I can mentor 1:01:00 And help other especially women get started in business in a way that I think is so needed. Women have got to support women financially, and getting our businesses off the ground because we understand each other in a way nobody else is. 1:01:17 As far as the I especially, like, balancing home wife and kids and everything, and, um, yeah, I don't have any definite plans, but that's something that I think a lot about. I haven't had it haven't had a free moment to focus on that right now, but I will in time. 1:01:34 That's great. And so as we close this out, I got one more question to ask of you. So, you, you went and you sold all your red Hook's, you know, I'm sure that there's some part of you that that is that has a little bit of a hole in your heart, but maybe maybe that that whole sort of getting filled by knowing that you're building something bigger and better. And then earlier this year, you had done two more well, epics, you done your light side and your dark side. Tell me you kept at least a few bottles of that, and you're not going to 1:02:00 You're not gonna do the same thing again. I did. I had a few friends here like Don't be stupid this time. And I wouldn't call it being stupid. I mean, I just was like, whew, everybody enjoy the enjoy the whiskey before. 1:02:12 But I didn't keep a lot. I can't bottles one through six of each one. 1:02:18 So what is the what is the new project you have? Remember, this won't come out for a long time. So no one's gonna know for a while. I mean, I've talked about it somewhat. I'm not going to give out all the details. But um, there's a distiller here in Alabama that I'm excited about stuff that link and yeah, he's cool project we're working on together. 1:02:38 No, it's not going to be a 23 year old rye. But I went down and met him and tasted out of barrel and he had it he had one barrel it really pulled my heartstrings that it's going to be fun. You know, he sent me some stuff to that, to me was really reminiscent of a couple honey barrels that I'd had from from 1:03:00 Well it so I can see. I could see I could see like your your heartstrings lining up. They're like no, he's a good distiller. He's a good person. And again, it's I like with Dre, that project just happened because we were building a friendship and happen naturally. So I'm not out here trying to replace a Red Hook ride, that's never gonna happen. I just I felt the butterflies when I went down and met with Seth and so I've told him when I feel this feeling, I gotta follow up on it. So let's make this magic happens. That's fantastic. So as we kind of wrap this up here, at least we got a little bit of teaser. We'll see what's happening next. Maybe we'll get back with you here in a year and we'll kind of see where you are with that project and be good to get a kind of 1:03:44 a whole full circle feedback here. But for anybody that wants to go to the nails beverage boutique and find out more about it, how do they do that? 1:03:54 Like I said, the website sucks. Our Facebook page is very active. All our social media is atla now's the him at La 1:04:01 ls BH am? And what's your address because I have a feeling that someone's going to change the direction of where they're driving right now as you're listening to this more. We're at 12 32nd Street North we're a mile up from Top Golf. 1:04:17 There you go. Get your pint and head on over to Top Golf. Save yourself a few bucks. You're trying to fight that in little 1:04:25 man Come on. Oh, no pints there. Okay, never mind. Never mind. Bad Kinney or boozy, or boozy. We don't sell pints over. I call it cheeky. There you go. 1:04:36 So what I want to say thank you again so much for coming on the show. I mean, for us, I mean, it was a I had met you originally at the the willit bar opening about a year maybe two years ago now. And and really this opportunity to kind of really sit down capture your story, and really be able to spread the message of really what you're doing not only just for whiskey whiskey is one aspect but the human 1:05:00 element and what you're doing to really promote that. I think it speaks a lot for yourself and and what you're trying to do to help impact and change the industry. You know, it's just one person trying to try to really kind of scale that up too. So thank you again for coming on the show and doing that. Thank you for being a gentleman in your chase to get us to sit down together. Absolutely. I do my best for that.

In this new book "World Heritage Sites of Australia", author Peter Valentine provides a fascinating historic and photographic guide to Australia’s 19 World Heritage sites and the role they place in shaping our natural and cultural history. Each of the sites—which include Kakadu National Park, the Great Barrier Reef, Shark Bay, Macquarie Island and the Gondwana Rainforests—are described and illustrated in exquisite detail, along with an account of how the site came to be included on the World Heritage List. Peter joined Harvey Deegan on Remember When.

Here's a quick quizz: what's the dominant form of life of Earth?  Humans...dinosaurs...insects? None of the above! If you consider the entire lifespan of our planet, the creatures that have spanned the longest are stromatolites. Not only are they are the earliest fossil evidence of life, their time here far outlasts other forms of life. Plus they released vast quantities of oxygen into the atmosphere - which enabled life such as you and I. Hamelin Station is operated by Australian Bush Heritage to conserve this precious landscape on the edge of the World Heritage area. Michelle and Ken Judd are the station managers talk to Rod about what it means to run a place like this.

In the episode, Laura and Justin transform themselves into a pair of dolphins and explore the waters of Shark Bay, Australia to figure out what happened when a mysterious heatwave wreaked havoc on the local dolphin population. Rising ocean temperatures pose a serious threaten to marine species, including dolphins. A seemingly innocent, short-term rise in ocean temperature off the west coast of Australia had devastating and long-term consequences for a number of plant and animal species in Shark Bay. The local population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins saw a drop in their population numbers, as well as low birth rates after the heatwave. Eight years later, the population is slowly recovering. The article being discussed in this episode is: Sonja Wild, Michael Krützen, Robert W. Rankin, William J.E. Hoppitt, Livia Gerber, Simon J. Allen. Long-term decline in survival and reproduction of dolphins following a marine heatwave.

Researchers at the Dolphin Communication Project get a lot of questions from the public about dolphin behavior, but one question above all the others has given us the biggest kick. And, sparked a rather interesting answer. The question, posed to us once by a young dolphin enthusiast, was ‘How do dolphins get married?' Not ‘do dolphins get married' mind you, but ‘how do they get married'. Learn the answer to this question in this week's episode.
