Andres Pena Castro, University of New Mexico The seismicity detected in the Antarctic continent is low compared with other continental intraplate regions of similar size. The low seismicity may be explained by (i) insufficient strain rates to generate earthquakes, (ii) scarcity of seismic instrumentation for detecting relatively small earthquakes, (iii) lack of comprehensive data mining for tectonic seismicity, or a combination of all the aforementioned. There have been ∼ 200 earthquakes in the interior of the Antarctic continent in the past two decades according to the International Seismological Centre (ISC) and other global catalogs. Previous studies in Antarctica have used seismometers installed for relatively short periods of time (∼days to months) to detect icequakes and/or tectonic earthquakes but a thorough integration of temporary and permanent network data is needed. Additionally, most of the reported seismicity was detected using classic earthquake detection techniques such as short-term-average/long-term-average or other energy detectors. State-of-the-art detection techniques, including machine learning, have proven to outperform classic detection techniques in different seismic sequences around the world and enable automated re-analysis of large volumes of data. Here I will present a new seismic catalog for the southernmost continent. We use a Machine Learning phase picker technique on over 21 years of seismic data from on-continent temporary and permanent networks to obtain the most complete catalog of seismicity in Antarctica to date. The new catalog contains 60,006 seismic events within the Antarctic continent between January 1, 2000 to January 1, 2021, with event magnitudes between −1.0 to 4.5. Most of the detected seismicity occurs near Ross Island, large ice shelves, ice streams, ice-covered volcanoes, or in distinct and isolated areas within the continental interior. Their locations and waveform characteristics indicate volcanic, tectonic, or cryospheric sources. The catalog shows that Antarctica is more seismically active than prior catalogs would indicate. This catalogue provides a resources for more specific targeting with other detection and analysis methods such as template-matching or transfer learning, to further discriminate event types and investigate diverse seismogenic processes across the continent.

Michael Yon is a Former Green Beret, Author, Photographer, and War Correspondent. After serving in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Yon retired his rifle in favor of a camera. He began his journalism career in December of 2004 in Iraq, covering some of the World's most complex conflicts and war zones. His writing and photography lead him to over 100 countries during his 20 year career. Most recently, he's been in South America covering an unknown path for illegal immigration into the United States: The Darién Gap. The Darién Gap is a region that connects the Southernmost part of Panama and Northern Colombia. This area has become the preferred way of travel for hundreds of thousands of migrants since the late 2000's. The Darién Gap is largely unregulated and only maintained by a faltering assortment of NGOs and smugglers. In this episode, Yon breaks down how the region functions in illegal immigration and the growing threat it poses to U.S Sovereignty.

In this episode, Brett sits down with former four-term member of the Florida House of Representatives, Florida Keys champion, and current mayor of Monroe County – Holly Raschein. Holly was born and raised in Alaska, but she has ultimately made her home over 5,000 miles away in the Florida Keys. Holly got her start in the legislative process working for lobbying legend Bob Levy, working with now-Florida Senator, Ana Maria Rodriguez. She would go on to work as an aide to two House members from Monroe County (Ken Sorensen and Ron Saunders) before staking her own claim on Florida's Southernmost seat in the legislature for four terms. In addition to being a county commissioner and the county's mayor, she is also the Director of Government Affairs for AshBritt, a well-known operator in the world of disaster recovery. They discuss her parents' individual journeys to end up in Alaska; her childhood amongst the moose; the decision to head for the opposite side of the country for college at Florida State University; how she ended up in the “Fabulous Florida Keys”; the interesting and quirky similarities between the Keys and Alaska; how she decided to run for state office and the massive impact she made there; what the passage of the Florida Keys Stewardship Act means for the future of her community; what she brought back home to make her more effective as a county commissioner; and the challenges that lie ahead for The Keys. Holly is as active as ever in her many philanthropic endeavors, and even with an incredibly busy life, she still makes her son her biggest priority. If you want to find out what makes the Keys special and what it takes to make a difference there, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Plus, you'll get some advice on what to do if you get chased by a moose. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

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

This week, A'ndre and Anna (one of our new co-hosts!) talk to writer, filmmaker, and activist Dr. Isabella Alexander-Nathani about the African Migration Crisis, discussing what she saw, heard, and experienced at Europe's Southernmost border in Morocco and other parts of North Africa. Isabella profiles some of the young migrants at the Moroccan-Spanish border in her book, Burning at Europe's Borders, and her upcoming documentary, The Burning, and discusses the difficulties and brutalities they endured in the face of stark and rarely reported human rights abuses at the hands of the authorities. Importantly, Isabella highlights the determination of several of these young migrants, outlining why they felt compelled to undertake this dangerous journey – viewing it as a necessity for their family's survival. We also discuss the politicization of the terms ‘refugee' and ‘migrant', the EU's ignorance in the face of flagrant human rights abuses, Isabella's views on her own identity's role in her own anthropological storytelling, and broad implications for U.S. border issues.Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this episode are those of the hosts.

In this episode, Sharon talks with social activist Ashley Spivey about how American Samoa became a U.S. territory. While we all grew up learning facts about states in our history and government classes, U.S. territories are often left out of the conversation. Sharon talks about how American Samoa became of interest to the U.S., and how the South Pacific Ocean archipelago is represented in government. Of course, no Sharon Says So episode would be complete without a few fun facts, and Sharon has plenty to share about this tropical territory!

In this episode 262, we visit with Terry Roberts, author of “My Mistress Eyes are Raven Black,” a literary mystery that explores the disturbing lengths some people will go to protect racial purity and condemn those that are different, the ones they fear. The book is set on Ellis Island. The year is 1920. New York Harbor's immigration and public health authorities are slowly recovering from the war years when a young, pregnant Irish woman disappears from the Isolation Hospital on Ellis Island. Stephen Robbins, a specialist in finding missing persons, is assigned the case. Yet when he arrives at the isolation hospital, he discovers an inexplicable string of deaths and disappearances among immigrant patients...and a staff that seems to be hiding a chilling secret. Silas House, author of “Southernmost,” has this to say about the book: "Terry Roberts' new novel is a literary thriller of the highest order: lyrical and suspenseful, with characters you will long remember. This is a heart-pounding, timely, and completely immersive read. It's also Roberts' finest hour."

En route pour la ville la plus au sud du monde, Ushuaia. Ville argentine, isolée parce qu'elle est loin de tout mais aussi parce que le détroit appartient au Chili, Ushuaia offre un spectacle particulier aux voyageurs, par ses lumières, ses paysages, son atmosphère. La série Avec J'Améliore mon Anglais, prenez quelques minutes pour écouter un article de WikiNews accompagné de quelques mots de vocabulaire.

Cette ville a autrefois attiré l'attention de Darwin lors de son étude de l'évolution du monde. Le peuple qui habitait autrefois Ushuaia étant pour lui le chainon manquant à la chaine de l'évolution.

In today’s episode, we explore the sailing from Sandy Hook NJ to Cape May NJ. Sandy Hook is just south of NY harbor and as the name suggests, it’s a hooked shaped spit of land that projects out into Raritan Harbor. Cape May is at the Southernmost tip of NJ about which makes this an approximately 120 NM trip. This is one section of the East Coast, from Maine to Key West, where there are not a lot of stopover points, especially for a sailboat. Many of the inlets along the New Jersy shore and not sailboat friendly. They have either strong currents or low bridges. If you want to do the trip non-stop, it is about a 24-hour passage and a great first overnight passage for any sailors desiring to get such experience. It is a relatively easy passage and if you are heading South, any wind direction is fine, except directly from the South. All you need is a good weather forecast for the next 24 hours. I find these short term forecasts are typically very accurate. In the summer, just be on the lookout for thunderstorms. Lightning on a boat with a 62-foot aluminum mast is not fun. This far north and close to shore, you do not need to worry about the Gulf Stream. Once you are out of the inlet, any currents are minor and are not an issue with the wind. There is a fair amount of commercial traffic. Tugs with barges, fishing boats, and some large ships. Most of the commercial traffic stays at least 10 miles offshore, so if you keep about 5 miles offshore, you will not encounter too much traffic. The entrance to Cape May is well marked and there is a large Coast Guard station there. This Coast Guard station is the primary training center for new recruits. There is an anchorage just off of the Coast Guard station, which is where we anchored. It’s a great place to stop and get some rest on your way south or north. We love to hear from our listeners, send us your questions, comments, and suggestions at sailingtheeast@gmail.com. Wishing you fair winds, and calm seas.

Driving Change (DC): In many ways, you have built your career by courting controversy and critiquing the system that you're now part of. Can you tell us about that journeyTim Wilson (TW): I've gone from the experience of working in the world of ideas to what it means to be practical and to have to implement [those ideas] in terms of policy. That's been a journey. When you're in the world of ideas, or the think-tank world, you can stick with very ideological worldviews, things that are very sharp in their focus and sometimes that have an abrasive edge. Whereas the journey I went on, particularly when I was Human Rights Commissioner, and as a parliamentarian, is that you're exposed to the full complexity of humanity.What you learn when you keep your mind open is how to translate your big idea into something that's practical and saleable and connects with people in their life. That's a sustainable base to affect change. I think you become more aware, more empathetic and more human in the process of your engagement.DC: What prompted you to seek public office?TW: It came down to frustration, working in the world of ideas, or even what I was, as Human Rights Commissioner, a statutory officer of the Parliament which has the legal standing and authority to raise some really serious issues. What became obvious is that you can raise [these issues] in the public square, you can shape public debate, but in the end the decisions are made by the people in the room at the time. If you can be in that room at that time, standing up for what I would say are classical liberal values or modern liberal values, about the type of country we want to be [you can have a greater impact].I saw that, time and time again, and then ultimately the opportunity came up to represent the amazing community that I do, and I seized on that opportunity. It's been a thoroughly worthwhile journey.DC: Let's talk a little bit about the state of policymaking in Australia, which you're now charged with. People overseas often scratch their heads at Australia. On the one hand, there's this incredible economic record: 29 years of unbroken growth until the pandemic, the longest growth streak of any developed economy in the world. Australia has largely managed to avoid the very bitter partisanship that we're seeing in the US and some other places around the world. Yet Australia had six Prime Ministers in 13 years, a carousel of leaders, suggesting that something's wrong. What are the strengths of Australian policymaking that other countries could learn from, and what needs to be improved?TW: One of the things that makes Australia unique, particularly amongst Western liberal democracies, is that we have a relatively unified culture across the country. In practice, that means that most people are going on a similar journey. Yes, there are regional differences, but they're not as stark as they are in other parts of the world— say, for instance, in the United States. I'm in the Southernmost state [Victoria] which is sometimes referred to as the Massachusetts of the south. In the northern state of Queensland, our lived experiences are different. Our cultures are different, they grew up organically, but there is still a common thread of nationhood which I think binds the common values that have made policymaking more straightforward.The other thing that I think does matter is – and this will be heretical to many international audiences – we have compulsory voting. I realize that's an infringement on liberty, but what it means is everybody has ownership of the government.We don't have a debate about whether the government was legitimately elected or has a legitimate right to implement its reform agenda. Governments are elected, everybody's had their say, and as a consequence people accept the outcome.One of the great tests of democracy is not who wins and who's the victor, it's whether those who were defeated accept their defeat and accept the legitimacy of the victor. I think that's central to it.The other thing, of course, is that 29 years of uninterrupted economic growth has enabled Australia to confront many challenges. It has enabled our country to finance restructuring of the economy or parts of society and to take many people with us on the journey. Now, I'm not saying public policy in Australia is perfect, it's not. But when you can cushion the impact on people, you're able to take more people on a journey.DC: Like most other countries, due to the pandemic Australia is now facing major economic headwinds. Have we been complacent? Have we prepared for this? Do we have the right policy institutions in place?TW: We are going to face some big challenges, where we're going to have to have reforms where we won't have winners and uber-winners, we're just going to have people who benefit or see the benefit of reform.There's going to be a cost, and people are going to have to carry that cost. But not doing anything would impose an even bigger burden. Half of it is about how we get the public discussion right, how we get to a discussion where people understand that there's a cost to inaction. I think that is going to be a problem.The other thing is, we've built in a lot of welfare and support measures to cushion the impact of previous reforms. The trade-off from that now is there's quite a lot of financial fat in our welfare system. We're going to have to become leaner and more agile in the way we operate the country.I'd still rather work from a position of strength and find a way to slim down than already have significant debt burdens and not have many support measures while trying to address the issues of a globally competitive environment.DC: Responding to the pandemic is requiring difficult conversations with constituents and the public about the trade-offs involved. How are you seeing this playing out? What needs to happen? How should policymakers go about communicating these trade-offs and the risks involved?TW: Part of it, unfortunately, is going to require people to experience the consequences of the Covid recession. At the start of the pandemic Australia, because of its relative bounty, was able to cushion the impact— particularly through wage subsidy programs that carried many people through a crisis that's nearly unprecedented in our history.But until people feel the consequences of the economic crisis, I think it'll be hard to make the case for reform. The Economist once wrote of Australia that we're a “country that's not very good at managing prosperity but we're very good in crisis.” When we are confronted with a crisis, when we understand the nature of the problem and that the impact is human, then people will accept that there is a need for change to build a more sustainable future for the country.I think this is a good time to be prosecuting ideas, particularly around how you restructure the economy to make it more liberal and more dynamic and fit for the 21st century. It's going to require that lived human experience of Australians to accept that, but I do believe once they do [experience a recession], they will [accept the case for economic reform].DC: There have been quite a few different policy approaches to managing the pandemic in Australia. As in the US, state governments have responsibility for many aspects of public health and other [policy areas] pertinent to the crisis. What are some of the different approaches that Australian states have taken and what are your views on them?TW: Different states have taken quite radically different approaches based largely on the attitude of the governments they elect. In my state of Victoria, we have a Labor government, which would be seen as a left-wing Democrat-style government in much of the United States or other countries. They've approached [the pandemic] by empowering themselves through the centralization of power, implementing giant lockdowns across the whole of a state, and then deciding which sectors they're prepared to open. They're empowering themselves at the expense of citizens.The state of New South Wales, which is where Sydney is, has a Liberal or Centre-right government, and took a completely different approach. They looked at how to empower citizens to take responsibility but understood that the government's responsibility is to articulate the case about what needs to be restricted and to justify it.You see two very different models of governance. One is [based on] high centralization where the citizen has to justify their behaviour to the government – which is the social democratic tradition – and [the other is based on] the liberal democratic tradition, where the government has to justify why it is restricting people's liberties and the terms on which they're doing it.Consequently, Victoria was in lockdown for about six months continuously, with huge detriment to the economy, to livelihoods and to people's health and welfare. In New South Wales it's been the complete reverse. Their health circumstances aren't identical, but their approach is radically different.DC: As we come out of this emergency phase, how do we ensure that some of the rights and freedoms which most people willingly gave up as part of the public health response are protected in the long term? What does an ongoing response to the crisis look like in terms of balancing rights with the public health response?TW: We don't have a bill of rights. In fact, the state of Victoria, which has had some of the harshest measures, has the most rigid legislative Charter of Rights [among Australia's states]. That was completely discarded once the pandemic started.It says something about the fact that people were prepared to trade [rights] away and weren't prepared to stand up for them when they were under attack.I think that the best approach is to adopt the one that New South Wales has taken, which is to understand that the government has a job to do. We know that the pandemic poses very serious health risks, particularly to the elderly and people with immunosuppressant conditions. But the trade-off should be that the government should then have to justify proportionally why what they're trying to do is necessary to protect people's lives.Things like face masks I have no problem with, and I don't think they're a big deal. You can see the proportional relationship between the imposition, or the denial of people's liberty, and the outcome in terms of public health. Whereas with other measures, like Victoria's curfew, there was no evidence: in fact, the Chief Health Officer said there was no evidence or public health need for it to be implemented.I think it's about getting that sense of balance and proportionality right and understanding that the government has to justify the restrictions and the citizens shouldn't have to defend their freedoms.DC: You talk in your new book about the need for a new social contract. This is a topic which is currently rising up the political agenda around the world. Why? And what do you think is uniquely Australian in the need for a new social contract?TW: I think there's some fundamental generational imbalances in the structures of our society. I wrote The New Social Contract because we're seeing issues around young people feeling dispossessed or not being able to realize their full opportunity.Now, this is not a unique threat to Australia. It's the same in the United States and the United Kingdom— around the cost of education, limited employment opportunities after the global economic crisis, and of course now this is going to be compounded by Covid-19.But we also see it in things like house prices. Loose monetary policy has led to asset price inflation, which has been good for people like me who own their own home or own assets, [but has been] at the expense of young people wanting to get opportunities.We need to have a conversation about what is an intergenerationally just society. For me that is one where older people are able to secure what they have, but don't get preference for their years of effort and labor and won't skewer [young people's] opportunity.You can create a more inclusive society that moves forward together yet can make quite substantial reform to promote home ownership, to level out tax rates, to remove tax complications and to build what is essentially, in the classical sense, a more liberal, democratic society that's open for everybody. And a more dynamic capitalism too.DC: It sounds like you could write a sequel, ‘intergenerational equity after the pandemic.' It is only getting worse at the moment, right?TW: That's right. I wrote the book mostly pre-Covid and warned that Australia's intergenerational tension was ready to pop as soon as we had an economic crisis. [The pandemic] just started when I was concluding the book and it's now quite obvious that this is a problem.We have sacrificed opportunity for younger Australians, as many other countries have for their younger populations, to secure the health and welfare of their older populations. This is only exacerbating an already existing trend. This trend is prevalent in popular culture here, as it is elsewhereIt's particularly a problem when the systems of governance, tax and ownership structurally work against young people being able to get ahead. We need to address it. Covid-19 is only compounding it. The book was written for the 2020s in the expectation that a lot of the problems I was outlining would be revealed in 2030. In fact, I would argue that the clock is now ticking, that they're already present and the sort of political crisis that will follow the health and economic crisis will probably hit closer to 2025DC: If you were going back to the very beginning of your career, what advice would you give yourself?TW: Never be afraid. One of the things about the contest of ideas is that the worst anybody can do is demonize and criticize you – but it actually has no lasting effect. Particularly in the modern age where people seem to throw around verbitude without any sense of restraint or responsibility, it is really important to stand up for what you believe in and do it with a sense of conviction and passion.Ultimately, timidity is in surplus in the world. Courage is rare. The more you stand up, the more you can affect change in whatever position you are in. You also, frankly, encourage other people to stand up.There are other people who will read to scripts or learn off the ideas of others. The people who genuinely have ideas, are genuinely prepared to prosecute them and communicate not just the idea, but their passion and commitment to it with sincerity, ultimately win the day.Note: This conversation has been edited lightly for clarity and context

Hurricane Season 2020 is upon us! In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryghtpath Principal and Chief Executive Bryan Strawser talks through personal, family, and business preparedness for this year's hurricane season. Topics discussed include personal & family preparedness, DHS's Ready Campaign, and actions that businesses should take to ensure they and their teams are prepared for the season ahead of us. Episode Resources Episode #6 - Personal Preparedness Episode #7 - After the Storm Episode #15 - Here comes Irma Episode #17 - Lessons Learned from the 2017 Hurricane Season Episode #67 - Here comes Hurricane Dorian Bryghtpath's Hurricane Services //static.leadpages.net/leadboxes/current/embed.js Episode Transcript Hello and welcome to the Managing Uncertainty podcast. This is Bryan Strawser, principal and chief executive here at Bryghtpath and we are in week one of hurricane season 2020 for the Atlantic Ocean. This hurricane season runs June 1st to November 30th. I want to take some time here on this podcast episode to talk about hurricane season, how you can make sure that your employees are personally prepared, and what some things that you can do to prepare your business as well. You may not know this. I had forgotten this when I was looking at this morning, but there are actually three hurricane seasons. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season started May 15th runs through November 30th. The Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1st and runs through November 30th, and the Central Pacific hurricane season, here. We're talking about like Hawaii for example, that season runs June 1st to November 30th. Of course, most hurricanes that we're typically worried about, the strongest hurricanes in history have been in the Atlantic and then impacting the east coast of the United States from Maine all the way down to the Southernmost tip of Florida. Of course, the US Virgin Islands and other territories in the Caribbean, as we saw with hurricane season just three years ago. I want to divide this conversation into two parts. The part that we want to make sure that individuals are preparing for, and then the things we want to make sure that businesses are preparing for as a part of that. As a business leader that works in business continuity and crisis management and resiliency or related fields, you want to make sure you're doing both because if your team is prepared and their families are safe, then it's easier for you to work with your team to recover your business operations. If they're not prepared personal, family, local, community, then you're going to have challenges getting those folks to come in and help you recover your business operations. In my mind, the best place to send employees to learn about hurricanes is the US Department of Homeland Security's ready campaign website. This is developed with FEMA, which is part of DHS of course. You can find great information on a number of different emergency situations, including hurricanes at ready.gov. I'm going to kind of recap for you some of the personal and family preparedness steps that are on this website at ready.gov/hurricanes. The first is to make sure that your team understands the hurricane risk. That they understand how rain, wind, water could impact them. It's important to point out that this isn't just what we think of as traditional hurricane zones. I'm recording this episode on the 9th of June 2020. I live in Minnesota, just near the twin cities in Minneapolis and St. Paul. We are going to be impacted by tropical storm Cristobal which is currently moving through the Southern United States. So even way up here by Canada where we're at, you can have impact from tropical storms and hurricanes depending upon how they move through the country as they impact the US. So first is to make sure folks understand rain, wind, water. What that impact could look like. The second is to make sure that your employees have an emergency plan. That everyone in their household understands their emergency plan and how that would impact their family, their extended family, their children, their pets. That they have a plan on how they would evacuate and where they would go. The next part of that is to make sure that they have supplies for their household. Medication, cleaning supplies, because we're still in the COVID-19 pandemic, face coverings, masks, pet supplies, food and water for three days. These supplies that might be necessary to sustain yourselves at home until life saving assistance can arrive, or because they need to get somewhere. Maybe the home could be damaged and they need to go live with a relative or get to a relative in another state. The fourth is to make is to think about people with disabilities if there's anyone in their household that has a disability. What other help they may need, and to make sure that they've documented that and made an arrangement for that in their plan. The next is to know their evacuation zone. In a hurricane, you may have to evacuate very quickly. It's important to know what those zones look like. They're all planned in advance and to know the routes. How can they get there? And it's not a bad idea to practice. Can we be ready to go in two hours? Are our supplies bagged and packaged so that we can do it? Next is to make sure that your employees know how to get warnings and alerts. FEMA helps make this easy by using the FEMA app, which will let them get real-time alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five different places in the United States. Then they can also sign up for community alerts and get information from local emergency management and public health and government authorities when things happen. You want your employees to prepare their documentation. That they have insurance documents and personal documents like IDs and they have copies of these and they keep them in a secure, password-protected digital space, but also keep hard copies of this documentation as well. They can strengthen their homes by looking at their drains and gutters and bringing in any outside furniture. In some areas, even hurricane shutters may be appropriate. My parents lived for a long time in Jacksonville, Florida, and had hurricane shutters when they built their home and used them on more than one occasion as hurricanes came through. Employees should make sure they're tech ready by keeping their cell phone charged and perhaps having backup charging devices. There are solar chargers now. There are extra batteries that you can purchase. Even if your cell phone doesn't let you swap batteries, like I'm an Apple user, but I can buy a battery pack and plug that baby in and be able to keep my cell phone charged where I need to. Your employee should also look at how they can help their neighbors. Check-in with their neighbors and senior adults and others who might need additional help. Then lastly for small businesses, which we kind of put in with the family and personal preparedness, to make sure that businesses have a continuity plan that allows them to continue operating when disaster strikes. So again, you can find all this on ready.gov/hurricanes. The most important thing about all of this is when the hurricane begins to approach that folks are listening to emergency information and alerts. That when they are told to evacuate, that they do so immediately. That they evacuate on the timeline provided by local authorities and that they stay informed. They keep an eye on what's going on and make sure they make the right decisions to protect their family, their neighborhood, their local community, and their pets. Certainly, make sure you take your pets with you when you leave. So for personal preparedness, those are some great steps. Again, you can find those at ready.gov/hurricanes. Now I want to shift gears and talk a little bit about business preparedness with hurricane season coming on. I think the most important thing here is to make sure that you're thinking about your preparedness steps now before we have a major hurricane or tropical storm really impact where you're operating. Now is the time to prepare. Not five days out from landfall of the first-named storm of the year, but now is the time to make sure that you have your ducks in a row. That you've got the plans and documentation and exercises, your practice, your drills, that all of that is knocked out in this left of boom stage and our preparedness stage so that when something happens, we're able to respond like clockwork as we go through that. So, there's a lot of things you have to think about planning for when it comes to business as we think about hurricane season. One is to make sure that we have a good understanding of the kind of impacts that your team and your local communities will see from hurricanes. We expect even when areas are not directly impacted, that employees and their families and extended families and even their neighbors can be in harm's way to some extent. Their properties certainly will be. A lot of employees will have questions about as the storm approaches, what our evacuation process will look like. When are we closing the business in time, want to make sure we do that in time for them to evacuate, but they also start thinking about when we can return home and when can I return to work and how much time will I be given to be able to deal with damage or issues with my home or with my extended family's home? How do they keep in touch with you and your business to make sure that they understand what's going on in terms of returning to work? Another challenge through all of this is the lack of available communications. I mean, we can expect because of wind and power problems that cell phones may not be as workable or reliable as they typically are. We can see the normal phone system be flooded or damaged in a way that simply doesn't work. So we're not able to rely upon it. We'll also find our employees have to deal with post-storm or really complex state and federal assistance process in order to get access to emergency funds from both the state and the federal government. So these are all challenges that you may have to work through in the course of responding to a hurricane. Then of course as I said at the start of the podcast, our experience has taught us that personal and family preparedness effort by your employees and supported by you and your efforts really make a huge difference in the individual resiliency of employees. After all, if they're resilient as a family, then they're more likely to return to work quickly and help you get your business back up and running quickly. One of the main things as an employer is to really make sure that you're closing your facilities in time, in advance of the storm in a way that both let you protect your assets, but also let your team protect themselves. That they're able to evacuate and get up the evacuation routes in time. You'll also want to think about your disaster pay and assistance programs with your human resources team. What do you do if your facility has got to be closed and folks who are scheduled to work can't work because you've shut it down? They're depending upon that income. How will you handle that kind of emergency situation there? Will you compensate them? Will you have an emergency fund they can draw from? Will you let them use their sick leave? These are all possibilities and actions that you can do. When it comes to information in terms of free information, there's no better place than the National Hurricane Center, which is part of the National Weather Service and NOAA. You can find that online Just Google National Hurricane Center and that'll take you there. You also want to make sure you're plugged into your state and local emergency management. There's probably some way almost, every state has a way, state and city have ways for you to connect in terms of a public-private partnership program and get access to information. I would look for that within your state. For example, Florida has a very highly active public-private partnership program. They do a great job of coordinating and communicating with the private sector, with businesses large and small across the state. Find ways to plugin. You can also plug into FEMA's National Business Emergency Operations Center. I believe that's fema.gov/NBEOC or just Google FEMA National Business Emergency Operations Center. They're holding calls all the time. They're sharing information. They ask questions. They want to make sure that you as a business leader have the information that you need in order to prepare for a storm and then make plans to respond and recover the business. They're one of the best sources of information and one of the best places to get your questions answered. These are all good examples of strategies that are used by successful companies that are resilient, that work through hurricanes and storms and let them be able to respond and recover and then get right back to business as usual, get their business back up and running very quickly, and get right back into the mix of normal business operations, which is our goal is as we go through hurricane season. So these are some of the factors we see with successful companies as hurricane season comes in. For individuals again, the most important thing is to make sure your vehicle's fueled. You've got things in your vehicle. You got your emergency supplies ready to go like food and water. Whether you've got bottled water or containers for water, along with your luggage and other things. Keep your vehicle fueled, pay close attention to communication from your local emergency management emergency services personnel such as police and fire, emergency management, and others. When they tell you to evacuate, if they tell you to evacuate, don't hesitate. Load and go and make sure that you move on from there. Here at Bryghtpath we have very extensive experience in managing large scale hurricanes, such as the 2017 hurricane season. We do provide a number of services you might find useful. Those include custom monitoring and weather reporting. We use a lot of open source and proprietary resources to give you a full picture of the current threat and impact to your organization. We build specific branded situational updates and executive briefings on the hurricane. These are written situational updates on a regular cadence that you set that consolidate hundreds of pages of information into a tightly written summary of the current on the ground situation that you're facing. We can do these in a way where they're branded for your organization, have custom content. We can integrate your internal data and other updates. We really think of these as the best way to know what's happening in that threatened and impacted area. We also do executive and crisis team briefings that can be delivered via video conference or through online video formats, where you can see us providing an update on the situation, and then it has targeted information for your organization. That can be one way, or it can be a two-way conversation. Lastly, we're just a great trusted crisis management advisor. We perform that role for a number of Fortune 500 organizations lending our decades of crisis management experience and communications during their critical moment. During a hurricane like we've seen in the last few years, we're really customizing our advice to the specific needs of your company. The service commonly includes 24/7 access to our team, participation in your internal calls and meetings, connectivity to key internal and external partners, and most importantly problem solving with your team because we've been through this situation, the hurricane situation, many times. If you're interested in learning more about our hurricane crisis management services as the season continues, you can learn more at bryghtpath.com/hurricanes, or just give us a call at (612) 235-6435. That's it for this edition of the Managing Uncertainty podcast. We'll be back next week with another new episode. Be well.

RUN This week, we recap our time running the Southernmost Half Marathon in Key West. We report on the packet pickup, the race course, on-course support, and bling of course! This is Dana’s first official half marathon back doing run-walk-run intervals. For Aimee, it was a time to stay with Dana and try the short interval he was doing as well as a great training run to prepare us for Florida heat should we encounter it at Disney in November. Aimee was so proud of Dana! But we also learned by doing a race in the middle of training season what we needed to work on for the remainder of our training time for the Wine and Dine 2-Course Challenge. EAT Last time we were in Key West, for the Hemingway Sunset 5k, we featured some spots off Duval. This time, we had to carb-load at one of our favorite places on Duval in Key West, Nine One Five Restaurant and Bar. We have been there many times over the years, even before we started this show. We started with a cheese plate. We had a Brie from France, Smokey offering from Oregon, and a Parmesan-like cheers from France. The plate included port-soaked cherries, Marcona almonds, Florida Keys honeycomb and crustini as well as rosemary biscuits. Then we moved on to pasta. It is simply amazing. We had the Papardelle with Kobe Beef Bolognese, Parmesan Reggiano, and Creme Fraiche. It was hearty, filing, and the pasta was scratch-made. In the past, we have also had the lobster ravioli and beef carpaccio. All in all, we have not had a bad meal here. It is a more expensive meal than those we have featured in the past, but it is totally worth it. (They also have a homemade tonic for their gin and tonic drink. It is tasty,but we did not partake this time as we had the race the next morning.) DRINK After we achieved our goal, it was time to celebrate! So we had a drinks at Caroline’s The Other Side. We used to come to this same building when The Porch was here, and we discovered The Other Side once before this trip, and listeners reminded us about it and said to come get the Banana Bread Old Fashioned and Hemingway Daquiri. They did not disappoint. So much so, that we stayed for another round and had the Southern Godfather and an “off the menu” creation from our awesome bartender, Michelle, a Peanut Butter and Jelly Old Fashioned with peanut butter on the rim of the glass!

It's our episode featuring the 21st Annual Key West Half Marathon and Henry and Eli's Side Street Pub! RUN The 21st Annual Key West Half Marathon was on a Sunday with less an ideal weather conditions in Key West. Thunderstorms caused a couple of delays. Originally we were supposed to start at 7. Then we were postponed twice more before crossing the start line at about 9:15 AM. It was raining at the start but shortly after the first mile, it stopped so our need for ponchos was no more. This course was somewhat the same and a bit different from Southernmost Half Marathon back in October. The Southernmost had a 6-hour time limit because a full marathon was going on at the same time whereas this one had a 4-hour time limit. Both courses were flat for the most part. This one was out and back whereas Southernmost was a loop of Key West. It was interesting to compare the two races. The course was flat nearly the entire way. Starting with a tour of Duval Street was great because it gave us chance to see all the places along Duval before the hustle and bustle of the night life. Then it was onto the half way point by way of a beautiful ocean view. It was definitely warming up more so than if we had started earlier, but still a flat course. The water stops were well-staffed and about every couple of miles early on in the race. It was an out and back so we had one overpass at the half-way point and then we traced our steps back by the water. The course did not take us directly back on Duval for the finish. It was on a couple of side streets and we were on sidewalks because of the lateness of the finish. We actually got off course for the last half mile. Afterward, I think the heat really got to me. I should have hydrated more on the course and I was starving! We finished in really warm conditions, but we met some really great people along the way, got a great medal with a mermaid on it, and then we were ready to explore and indulge in some food and beverage. EAT Henry and Eli's Side Street Pub was where we headed for much needed food and beverage after those challenging weather conditions. This is a neat place off Duval inspired by the owners' rescue dogs, Henry and Eli. Their menu has a dog-inspired theme and there is even a menu for man's best friend because they are welcome to come hang out with you here! Scott, a veteran, owner, and chef here was kind enough to take us through a demo of how he makes their delicious Seafood Pizza. Garlic and olive oil sauce, shrimp, scallops, crab, and mozzarella cooked to perfection! It reminded me of some of the best shrimp scampi, seared scallop, and crab dishes I have ever had but on a pizza with a thin and crisp crust, just like I love it! DRINK We took Scott's recommendation and had a Blue Point Toasted Lager which really helped punctuate the flavor of the seafood on the pizza. Not bitter, not hoppy, it had nice caramel and malty notes. It was delicious and refreshing after running 13.1. It was a perfect way to toast our accomplishment. Stop by and check out the great atmosphere, live music and community events if you're in Key West. Thank you to owners Scott and Sherree for a great introduction to Henry and Eli's Side Street Pub!

As the film opens, Loxie Claiborne is running a marine salvage business started by her deceased father. A hurricane is passing through the Key West area leaving behind at least one wreck on the nearby shoals. The Jubilee founders and Loxie and other salvagers race to claim the cargo. Not arriving first, Loxie and her crew rescue the Captain jack Stewart, but do not share in the salvage rights. Apparently the first salver on the scene, King Cutler may have actually planned the wreck. Nursing Jack back to health, Loxie falls in love with him. When she visits Charleston with her cousin Priscilla, Loxie schemes to win a plum captain's position for Jack by seducing Steve Tolliver, who's running the sailing ship line for which Jack works. Steve falls for Loxie and returns with her to Key West to investigate the truth about Jack's shipwreck. Drusilla goes home to Havana when Loxie and Steve returned to Key West. Steve has come to rid the Keys of pirates like Cutler and to be near Loxie. Cutler, in turn arranges to have Steve Shanghai'd by the crew of a whaler. Loxie hears the plot and gets Jack to help her save Steve. Later they discover that Steve concealed Jack's appointment to the steamship Southern Cross on orders from his superior. Angry over a seemingly underhanded act. Jack meets with Cutler and he learns that Steve's boss had just died and that Steve will be taking over the shipping line. Jack realizes that he's unlikely to keep his command with Steph in charge and agrees to work with Cutler to sabotage his new ship. He sails to Havana to take command. Rumors circulate and prices of the cargo of the Southern Cross fluctuate wildly, leaving Steve to suspecta wreck is planned. He commandeers the Claiborn with Lokie on board and sails to Havana to stop Jack. Loxie, believing jack is innocent disables her ship and they sit becalmed in a fog bank as the Southern Cross piles into the reef and sinks. Unknown to Jack, Drusilla had stowed away to be with her lover, King Cutler's brother Dan and she drowned. Jack is put on trial for wrecking his ship. The testimony reveals a woman may have been on board but none was rescued. To determine if a woman was in the wreck, Steve agrees to dive to the wreck with Jack. While down in the wreck, Jack and Steve discover proof that Drusilla was on board and had been drowned. They are attacked by a giant squid. Jack saves Steve's life but was lost when the Southern Cross slips off the continental shelf into the deep water. Dan Cutler accuses his brother of murder and is shot dead by him. Whereupon, Steve shoots King Cutler killing him. Loxie and Steve return to Charleston together. Reap The Wild Wind is a 1942 adventure film starring Ray Milland and John Wayne, Paulette Goddard, Robert Preston and Susan Hayward and directed by Cecil B. de Mille. His second picture to be filmed in color. It's based on a serialized story written by Thelma Strabel in 1944, for the Saturday Evening Post. The movie released shortly after the United States entry into World War II and was a swashbuckling adventure set in the 1840s along the Florida coast and was wildly successful. While he based his film on Strabel's story, de Mille took liberties with the details such as the sibling relationships and subplots, while staying true to the spirit of the story, which centers on a head strong, independent woman, portrayed by Paulette Goddard And it was today December 7, 1940, that author Thelma Strabell moved into hrr new house by the Southernmost Point. She's best remembered for her novel, Reap the Wild Wind, the story about the Key West wreckers that was made into a movie. And that's what happened Today in Key West history.

RUN In this episode, we feature the Southernmost Half Marathon. We chose this race because our training schedule called for 12.5 miles this weekend and we thought, "Why not run it in Key West?" Who wouldn't want to see the beautiful sunrise on the Southernmost Point of the United States. It was humid and hot, but a beautiful course and friendly people. It was also held on the same course as a full marathon. The time limit was set to 6-hours for both races, so we thought it would be a no-pressure training run. The only thing we forgot to bring was our Night Tech Gear shoe lights because we started so early and we were unfamiliar with the course (next time!). We were thankful to have our Sqoosh to wipe away sweat during the race, and we needed to remember to hydrate and get electrolytes efficiently both before and during the race. It felt like it was still at the height of the heat and humidity of Florida summer. So anyone running this one as a first half marathon will love the longer time limit but should remember to stay hydrated, even when starting while it is still dark outside. EAT As a post-race celebration, we had DJ's Clam Shack on Duval Street in Key West. Clam strips and conch fritters are amazing there! We bragged about it so much that a friend of ours who went to Key West the very next weekend had the lobster roll and said he had died and gone to lobster heaven! DRINK We had local beer to toast our accomplishment from Islamorada Beer Company while at DJ's Clam Shack. It was Sandbar Sunday and it did not disappoint as a light and easy-drinking beer to toast completing our training run! Yes, we had other beers at Islamorada Beer Company when we stopped there, so we tried one that we did not have as part of our flight in our Quick Bite. It was glorious after run-walk-running 13.1 miles! THAT'S A WRAP Thank you for watching! Here's hoping for a great second year of the podcast because of all your support!

Lost Minute Budapest x RTS.FM w/ Giash (Plaisir, Archipel) Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1910980519189767/ YouTube version: https://youtu.be/CbIRW5fLTqY Giash: Originating from Techno and House, the music gains its glaze from the playful minimalism, the boldly used soundpads and the musical motifs. This could be the shortest description of Giash's music. Concerning his bio, he was born in 1987 and grew up in Kelebia which is a small village located in the Southernmost part of Hungary. He attended high school in Budapest where he got in deep touch with the electronic music. His very first release can be considered as the milestone of his musical career because in 2007 the "My Little Lady Birds" EP achieved an overwhelming success in the Beatport Chart. After its release it reached #1 in the Minimal and a couple of months later it became #1 in the All Genres Chart. It was followed by exciting and eventful years in Giash's life. His works and remixes were continuously released by superb labels from all over the world while his music was getting more and more refined. In 2014 he was called upon to create a new work for the Canadian Archipel Musique label. Right after that the "270 Degrees" debut EP was released and, as an official artist at the label, Giash was contracted. https://soundcloud.com/giash https://www.facebook.com/giashmusic https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/giash

Philippa never thought that at the age of 44 she would be cycling 5,000 miles from the top of Norway to the south of Spain. Let alone on her own. She wasn’t an endurance cyclist and had never wild camped on her own. Yet in June 2016 she found herself at Nordkapp, the most Northern point in Europe with a tent and two wheels. After a small freak out and a lot of questions to herself she pointed her bicycle South and started cycling. Three and a half months and a lot of ice cream later she reached Tarifa in Spain, the Southernmost point in Europe, a lot fitter and with the knowledge that she had been able to overcome those fears, rise to the challenge and complete her dream. She raised money for 2 charities – Re-cycle (who send bicycles to Africa) and the Youth Adventure Trust who support vulnerable children to build self esteem, gain confidence and learn important life skills through a programme of adventure. Since her return she has combined her professional background in events and fundraising with her personal love of adventure and just started working for the Youth Adventure Trust as their Corporate Partnership Manager.

The Youth Adventure Trust is a registered youth development charity working with vulnerable young people aged 11 to 14 years old from across Wiltshire and Swindon. Many young people, for a variety of reasons, often do not have the opportunity to start the ‘believe – achieve’ process and make the most of their lives. Feeling inspired week after week?

In this episode, Laszlo explains a little about the "Gagi Nang", the 自己人, known the world over as the Teochew (Chiu Chow or Chaozhou) people. Like the Hakka people, the Teochew's were originally from the Yellow River Valley and migrated to their present location on the Guangdong coast via Fujian province. Their language and culture is unique. Their food and Chaozhou culture is celebrated in more places than Chaozhou and not just by the people from that region. There are Chaozhounese people on every continent except maybe Antarctica. They're a proud group of people with a collective track record that is admirable by any standards of human achievement. The only mentions in this episode were of the Teochew's of South East Asia and the US. There are plenty of other lesser-known or unknown histories of Teochew's in Canada, Europe, Mexico, Central and South America, and of course Australia and New Zealand. The great 19th-century Chinese diaspora is filled with stories, legends, and historic events. The Chiu Chow people are a major part of everything that happened. They contributed not only to the society and the economy of their adoptive homelands, they still kept their ties with the eight districts of Chao-Shan.
