Pantheon Resources Executive Chairman David Hobbs joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that Pantheon's wholly owned subsidiary, Great Bear Pantheon, has entered into a Gas Sales Precedent Agreement with AGDC subsidiary 8 Star Alaska LLC. Alaska LNG, a federally authorized integrated natural gas and LNG export project, is under development to deliver natural gas within Alaska and export up to 20 million tonnes per annum of Liquefied Natural Gas. Pantheon agrees to supply up to 500 million cubic feet per day of natural gas at a maximum base price of $1 per million BTU in 2024 dollars. The agreement includes minimum daily contract volumes that determine the level of the take-or-pay obligation and plateau natural gas deliveries for 20 years, with the potential for extension beyond the initial term. Hobbs told Proactive that AGDC is pursuing an option to phase Alaska LNG by prioritizing the in-state pipeline portion of the project, which consists of the 42-inch pipeline from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska. This strategy aims to provide natural gas to avert the looming energy crisis facing the region. Phase 1 of Alaska LNG does not involve the construction of an LNG plant, resulting in a materially lower capex requirement and construction timeframe, allowing gas transportation as early as 2029. AGDC is planning to undertake Front End Engineering and Design ahead of a Final Investment Decision planned for the middle of 2025. Hobbs highlighted the hard work of Pantheon's team and assured shareholders that the company is following through on its plans for financial self-sufficiency and long-term value creation. #proactiveinvestors #pantheonresourcesplc #mining #lse #panr #pthrf#AlaskaLNG #GasSalesAgreement #EnergyDevelopment #DavidHobbs #AGDC #PipelineProject #NaturalGas #HeliumProduction #LNGExports #FinancialSufficiency #EnergySector #ShareholderValue #NorthSlopeGas #KodiakField #EnergyFunding #AlaskaPipeline #GasShortageSolution #CarbonDioxideReduction #EnergyNews#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

On July 17, 1980, electrical workers outside of Anchorage uncovered the badly decomposed body of a woman buried in a shallow grave. She became known as Eklutna Annie and was the first in a series of murders to sweep across Southcentral Alaska. Sex workers started disappearing at an alarming rate. Was there a serial killer on the loose or were these vulnerable young women simply choosing to move on? As the bodies started to pile up and shell casings from a .223 rifle appeared at every crime scene, it was clear a deranged man with a lust for blood was on the loose. That man was Robert Hansen, the town baker. With a long history of arson, theft and abduction under his belt, Hansen was no stranger to darkness. His deep-seated resentment toward women resulted in a slew of gruesome murders that continue to haunt the Matanuska Valley to this day. We'll discuss Hansen's past, uncover how he was so easily able to murder so many women and memorialize the victims who tragically lost their lives to a monster. This one hits a little too close to home for Elise. It's a long walk home through the dark Alaskan night. Happy haunting!

Last year, research at Johns Hopkins showed that healthcare consumes nearly half of all federal spending, which includes funding for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, military health benefits, health benefits for federal employees and their dependents, plus interest. Our federal government spends 48% of its money on health care and still healthcare devastates state budgets all across this country, with serious consequences in public health, education and other national priorities. This week's guest, Dave Chase, is the Creator, Co-Founder, and CEO of Health Rosetta. Health Rosetta is an ecosystem enabling public and private employers and unions to reduce their health benefits spending by 20% or more while improving the quality of care for plan members. Dave is also the author of Relocalizing Health: Relocalization is a strategy to build communities based on the local production of food, energy and goods. When applied to healthcare, a relocalization effort bring about systematic change – it could lead to strengthened local economies, improved population health, higher value in care delivery, and health equity. Dave expounds that health doesn't start with a pill or in a hospital. It starts at home, with parents, with neighborhoods, with workplaces, and communities. Relocalization will be an important key for winning the race to value! Episode Bookmarks: 04:05 Defining the Relocalizing Health strategy and why it needs to be applied to healthcare 05:45 How to create systems change at a grassroots level 06:25 Applying a systems change model that focuses on adaptable replication (not scalability) 07:15 The Nuka System of Care in Southcentral Alaska as an example of a successful effort to relocalize health care 07:25 Rosen Hotels as another example of creating a consumer-oriented redesign of health care 07:40 Learning from the Jönköping Health System in Sweden 08:35 “Transformation moves at the speed of trust, and trust is built on complete transparency.” 08:50 How the legal and economic underpinnings of health plans are ‘completely rotten' and must be made transparent 09:15 Seeking transparency in the way health insurance brokers are paid 09:27 “There is no well-functioning healthcare system in the world not built on proper primary care.” 09:35 “Healthcare isn't expensive -- only 27 cents of every healthcare dollar goes to clinicians who are the value creators. What's expensive is profiteering, price gouging, administrative bloat, and fraud.” 10:00 Dave discusses the advancements of modern-day computing as an example of why we need to work on the fractals of healthcare (i.e. the piece parts) 11:05 Research from Marty Makary showing that the federal government spends 48% of its money on health care 12:55 A broken financing model for hospitals steals from public health, kids, education, social services, and public infrastructure 13:15 Economic Development 3.0: Playing the Health Card 13:35 How considering every hospitalization as a failure is a starting point for reform 14:30 The economic depression of the middle class due to wage stagnation, and how that was caused by healthcare costs 15:30 The Millennial Generation is the first generation in American history where life will not be better for their parents because healthcare is stealing their future 16:35 Referencing David Goldhill's Catastrophic Care: Why Everything We Think We Know about Health Care 16:55 “I believe the Millennial Generation can be the greatest generation of this century.” 17:45 Massive student debt and how healthcare has driven up the costs of Higher Education 19:51 The national opioid epidemic crisis that is devasting communities.

Enjoy listening to: Urban harvests: food security and local fish and shellfish in Southcentral Alaska Authors: Hannah L. Harrison and Philip A. Loring "Urban Harvests" is part of a series of PubCasts (a take on publication podcasts), audio-book style recordings of peer reviewed scientific research, read to you by the authors. PubCasts are hosted by the Conservation of Change lab(www.conservationofchange.org)and Coastal Routes project. PubCasts are an ongoing project to experiment with science communication and making research more accessible and digestible to both scientific and general audiences. We were inspired to start Pubcasts via our own love of podcasts, demystifying science and the role of researchers in science, and the power of the human voice. We hope you enjoy and welcome feedback via Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/ConserveChange or http://www.twitter.com/fishpeopleplace.

Find the published version of this paper at the journal of Agriculture and Food Security: https://agricultureandfoodsecurity.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40066-016-0065-5 About the paper: In this study, we discuss two wild seafood harvests that are popular among residents of the largest urban and peri-urban region of Alaska: dipnet fishing for salmon on the Kenai River and clam digging on the beaches of the Kenai Peninsula. Our goal is twofold: to provide descriptive information on these understudied aspects of the food system and to also contribute to the broader discussion of wild food harvests in the lives and experiences of urban residents, where the issues of people’s connections with nature, tradition and self-determination, sustainability, and social and environmental justice all arguably converge.
Jeff was joined by Bill Falsey, the Municipal Manager for the Municipality of Anchorage. They sit down to discuss the one year anniversary of the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that rattled Anchorage and Southcentral Alaska on November 30, 2018. They discuss his background working in D.C., how he got to know Ethan Berkowitz, where he was when the earthquake hit, how the emergency command center got activated, the way the city handled the aftermath, all the memes, and how the city is prepared to handle this kind of situation in the future.
Gary Zieger Gary Zieger, a brutal serial killer, stalked the streets of Anchorage in the early 1970s. We’ll never know how many people Zieger killed, but eventually, the psychopath made a fatal mistake. During the period when serial killer Robert Hansen terrorized Anchorage and Southcentral Alaska, another brutal murderer roamed the same area. While Hansen selected and hunted his prey, Gary Zieger used women and men for his satisfaction and then simply discarded them. Zieger seemed unwilling or unable to control himself and was sure to self-destruct. When two hikers discovered the body of Celia Beth Van Zanten at McHugh Creek State Park south of Anchorage, they knew she had suffered a horrible death. Someone had gagged her and tied her hands behind her back with speaker wire; her body was naked below the waist. The pathologist later determined Beth had been raped and her chest slashed with a knife. She was still alive when she was either thrown or fell into a ravine. She apparently tried to climb out of the steep-walled crevice, but with her hands tied behind her back, she had no way to pull herself up the cliff, and she repeatedly fell until she froze to death in the frigid December weather. Investigators discovered tire tracks turning lazy circles in the parking lot of the campground, and they deduced Beth escaped her attacker, ran down the steep slope, and probably fell into the ravine. Her abductor circled the parking lot waiting for her to reappear, but when she never did, he finally left. Beth disappeared on December 23, 1971, while walking from her house to a local convenience store. What happened during her short walk down the street? Soon after the hikers discovered Beth Van Zanten’s body on Christmas day, 18-year-old Sandra Patterson, the daughter of an Alaska State Trooper, came forward to report her abduction on December 19th. Sandra worked as a prostitute to support her heroin addiction. She was working in the parking lot of the Nevada Club in Anchorage when a man pointed a gun at her and told her he would kill her if she didn’t do what he wanted. She described her attacker as a slender man in his mid-twenties wearing horn-rimmed glasses. The man drove Sandra to a motel on the Kenai Peninsula, nearly one-hundred miles south of Anchorage and raped her. On the drive back to Anchorage, he threatened to kill her if she reported him to the police. Sandra complied with his demands to remain silent until she heard about Beth Van Zanten’s murder, and then she knew she had to come forward and tell authorities about her abduction. Police asked Sandra to study a book of photos of known sex offenders to see if she could pick out the man who had kidnapped and raped her. She immediately identified her attacker as Robert Hansen. Hansen’s photo was in the book because he was awaiting trial for the attempted kidnapping of a young Anchorage woman. Hansen was initially charged with kidnapping and raping Sandra Patterson, but prosecutors considered Patterson an unreliable witness, and the charges were eventually dropped. Meanwhile, nothing tied Hansen to the murder and abduction of Beth Van Zanten, and to this day, authorities remain unsure whether Beth was murdered by Hansen, by someone she knew, or by another brutal killer named Gary Zieger.
