***To donate directly to the MAUI FIRES FUNDRAISER, please visit this page: https://ilimanator.com/maui/ *** Founder of @deepseamagazine Jeff Scott has launched so many locally-focused brands that I had trouble keeping up. In fact, I really wanted to know HOW he found time for them all, and do it so seamlessly. That was one of many questions I had the honor of asking him throughout the interview, but the main focus was on the new DeepSea Magazine channel. DeepSea channel has featured everyone from Fabien Cousteau, to the upcoming collaboration with Cristina Zenato. While DeepSea Mag took center stage, we also discussed his DeepSea Locker clothing brand, co branded by big-named conservationists such as Paul Degelder. Jeff's work in film production, advertising, content creation and of course, as a Navy Salvage Diver, gives him first-hand experience in all things “Made Under Pressure”, which is his signature trademark and tagline. Jeff creates and connects locally-based community pages including the “Stay Local” channels and clothing lines. These support outdoor recreation and conservation in areas he has experience working in, such as San Diego, Hawaii and of course, Lake Tahoe. He currently works directly with a local touring operation in Lake Tahoe called “Tahoe Guides”, where he is physically based. -- DeepSea Magazine: https://deepseamgzn.vhx.tv/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepseamagazine/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepseamagazine/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepseamagazine DeepSea Locker: https://www.deepseaco.com/ https://www.instagram.com/deepsealocker/ Tahoe Guides: https://www.laketahoetoursandrentals.com/ https://www.instagram.com/tahoeguides/ Stay Local Lake Tahoe: https://www.staylocalstore.com/ Stay Local Hawaii - https://www.instagram.com/staylocal.hawaii/ Stay Local San Diego - https://www.instagram.com/staylocal.sd/ Shark Research Unit: https://www.instagram.com/sharkresearchunit/ https://shark-research.com/ — Kenny Dyal is the host of The Scuba Diving Podcast: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kenny_dyal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sweetwater_scuba Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realkennydyal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kennydyal Twitter: https://twitter.com/RealKennyDyal www.sweetwaterscuba.com

From someone who has travelled to, collaborated and made friends with people in more than 120 countries, allow me to share some of the very simple principles that I personally use in order to build sustainable relationships globally. Hope this helps shed some light on your global journey ahead.

Jeff and I talk about why a chameleon is what he feels most aligned with and the value in being able to be a part of something without letting go of where you came from. We talk about the brand Stay Local that he has created and why the opportunity to share the stories of others and use the platform he has created to help local businesses matters so much to him. Jeff is many things, a talented artist, with a resume in film and media that speaks highly to his talent, a U.S. Navy Diver,  the founder of Deep Sea Co, a member of project recover, and a list that I could go on and on with, but what I see in Jeff as he openly shares about his life with me, about his fears, his values, about how mental illness took someone very close to him, about how he deeply desires to use what he has learned in life to help others. What I see in Jeff is a man who is both human and humble. It is an honor to share  a part of this mans story, a part of the community he takes pride in, a part of the creativity and joy he chooses to see in life, and a part of the man behind Stay Local. So tune in and learn why the words STAY ELEVATED mean something to him. @staylocal.tahoe   @staylocal.mobi  @build.agency

She told her father that she wanted to be a cruise director when she grew up. His advice to her was that she could do anything she wanted, including captaining the ship. Since that time Captain Kate has been a pioneer and trailblazer, breaking the gender barrier in 2015 when Lutoff-Perlo named her to be the first — and still only — American female to captain a major cruise ship – Celebrity Summit. She moved to Celebrity Equinox before being appointed to helm the exquisite Celebrity Edge® in September 2019. On 8 March, 2020, McCue further cemented her place in the history books when she captained the history-making, barrier-breaking sailing on Celebrity Edge that comprised a cruise ship's first-ever all-female bridge and officer team. Captain Kate also led the Celebrity fleet – and the industry – back into operation when, on 26 June, 2021, Celebrity Edge became the first cruise ship to sail with guests from a U.S. port in more than a year due to the global Coronavirus pandemic.Celebrity Beyond will not only hold the title of the largest ship in the fleet, but the distinction as the brand's most luxurious vessel.Celebrity Beyond stands at 17 decks high and 21 meters longer than her innovative predecessors Celebrity Edge (2018) and Celebrity Apex (2020).

More than just highly themed spaces, these kids' clubs will transform into living worlds through magical entertainment presented with the care and expertise of Disney-trained counsellors.Disney's Oceaneer ClubChildren ages 3 to 12 will step into their favorite Disney worlds at Disney's Oceaneer Club, a real-life wonderland featuring more stories than ever before.

At select times throughout the voyage, the space will be open to little ones' families for group play, and the toddlers from It's a Small World Nursery will also get dedicated access to the club to explore, learn and play with Mickey and Minnie.  The signature experience will be “Minnie's Captain Academy,” a high-energy training session for kids to exercise their bodies (through playful games, dancing and maritime “drills”) and their minds, testing their imagination and ingenuity during a series of challenges tied to STEAM principles (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). Captain Minnie will inspect their progress and officially declare them honorary captains!Quality Play Time with Super Heroes, Princesses and “Frozen” FriendsAt Disney's Oceaneer Club, kids will have more opportunities than ever to have fun with Disney characters during expertly developed games and programs – and when characters stop by, they will stay to play.

Each venue will include complimentary refreshments: Edge will have a soda bar, Vibe will serve soda and coffee drinks, and The Hideaway will offer smoothies.Boom, baby!

MSC Cruises has commemorated being back at sea for twelve months following the global industry's shutdown in March 2020 as a result of the global pandemic.One year ago on 16 August, MSC Cruises became the first major cruise line to resume operations for international sailings when MSC Grandiosa departed Genoa for a seven-night voyage in the West Mediterranean.This re-start was down to a range of local, regional and national authorities in Europe sanctioning a Health and Safety protocol that MSC Cruises had developed with an external panel of medical and public health experts designed for the wellbeing of guests, crew and communities that the Company's ships would call. A protocol that, eventually, set the standard for the industry and paved the way for more lines to restart. Twelve months on and more than half of the line's fleet is safely back at sea – sailing around the UK, both the Mediterranean Sea and Baltic Sea in Europe, North America and the Caribbean and the Red Sea in the Middle East. More ships are scheduled to resume operations in the coming weeks and months as part of the line's phased plan for returning the full fleet to operations by next year.Remarkably, MSC Cruises has forged ahead with its determined ambition for sustainable growth as it simultaneously returned ships to water.For the line, the past twelve months were a very busy year of return to service but it retained an undiminished laser-focus on the long-term future of the business and in a sustainable manner. Below are some highlights from the past year at MSC Cruises.Luxury Expedition Yacht Crystal Endeavor Makes its US Debut with New October Voyage from MiamiCrystal Expedition Cruises announced a nine-night Caribbean itinerary for new luxury expedition yacht Crystal Endeavor, featuring once-in-a-lifetime encounters on remote islands, calls in exclusive harbours typically only accessible to private yachts and sailboats, and the rare opportunity for U.S. travellers to embark from a close-to-home port and cruise aboard the state-of-the-art expedition yacht during her inaugural season.The new nine-night voyage, Expedition Yachting: Caribbean Mystique, will sail from Miami to San Juan October 25 – November 3, 2021, calling on Great Exuma and Man of War Bay, Inagua Island, Bahamas; White Bay and Great Harbor (overnight) on Jost Van Dyke, and Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands; Gustavia, St. Barts; and Saba, Netherlands; concluding in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

A new exit scheme for farmers has just been put out to consultation - it will pay between £50-100,000 as a one-off payment for older farmers to stop work. The DEFRA consultation document says “this will make more space for the next generation of farmers, as well as providing opportunities for existing farmers who wish to expand to improve their profitability.” But paying farmers to leave is not a new idea: what can be learnt from the previous scheme under the Common Agricultural Policy, which was discontinued because it didn’t work? Beavers have already been re-introduced to several sites across the UK to help control water flow and reduce flooding downstream. For the first time, a community-led project is being proposed, around the village of Braunton in North Devon. Over a million pounds has been spent on flood engineering work in Braunton, but it hasn’t worked. Instead, so far nearly 50 landowners have committed to the idea of introducing beavers. And will you Stay Local? Over the last year many people started to shop locally for food, and farmers around the country stepped up, changing the way they supply food to their local community, and meeting a new demand. But will that new supply chain continue? Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

On this week's episode of the Atlanta Foodcast, we're talking to the managers and owner three Georgia cooperative and independent natural groceries: Ahzjah Simons of Atlanta's Sevananda Natural Foods Co-Op, Kara Brown and Theo Horne of Athens' Daily Groceries Co-op, and Kristin Russell of Savannah's Brighter Day Natural Foods (and the Sentient Bean). Our conversation focuses on the background of these local food institutions and how they've met the challenges of doing business, protecting their staff, and serving customers during the pandemic as well as the engaging with the community in the Black Lives Matter and racial justice movement. We then spoke to Bilal Sarwari of the National Young Farmers Coalition, who will soon be joining the roster as an upcoming guest co-host of the Atlanta Foodcast.

Welcome back to another year of conversations in food with farmers, chefs, community activists, and other leaders around Georgia! The year has been and continues to challenge, but our hope with the Atlanta Foodcast is that hearing from these incredible people will bring you inspiration. These are the leaders working hard to establish an equitable, regenerative food system for all Georgians. On today's episode, we're connecting with a farmer-chef duo who participated in our Farm to Restaurant program's Food Fight GA initiative: Chef Deborah VanTrece of Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours (www.twistedsoulcookhouseandpours.com/) and Howard Berk of Ellijay Mushrooms (ellijaymushrooms.com/). In our second segment, we're talking to Nicolas Donck & Jeni Jarrard of Crystal Organic Farm (crystalorganicfarm.com/), a 27-year running certified organic farm in Newborn.

Welcome to another episode of the Atlanta Foodcast, hosted by Georgia Organics!As Georgia Organics launches our end-of-year fundraising campaign: Stay Local, we're focusing on why it's so important that Georgians continue to support Georgia farmers by shopping as directly as possible from them.

Consistently shop at your local farmers market, and visit gfg.georgiaorganics.org to browse a selection of our farmer members who offer direct purchasing options through CSA subscriptions and online purchasing.Visit georgiaorganics.org/staylocal to learn more.

For my wife's birthday, I decided to surprise her with a two-night stay at the Cosmopolitan in a one-bedroom terrace suite with a view of the Bellagio Fountains.  We were on the fortieth floor and it was an awesome view.  here are the details and thoughts on our little adventure!   Being locals, we don't really have a need to stay down on the Strip too often and with the eCovid scam going on, we needed to stay local for her birthday, so a little "Staycation" was what we had.  Stay Local but act like a real vacation!

We discuss said trip in detail on this episode along with Netflix shows we've been obsessed with and what we've been up to the past three weeks. Is Susie related to a killer? What sort of plot twist could Ivy's dating life have possibly taken and how has a latte changed her life for the better? There was no music minute this week as everything has shut down…again, but we do take a good chunk of time to discuss early voting and the election that is coming up on July 14th. It is a small, but very important, election. Please take the time to let your voice be heard.

We ve been here in New Orleans for 300 years. We wouldn t still be here if we didn t have the ability to adapt. But we don t like change. We still reminisce about long closed drugstores, bakeries, and supermarkets. And, 300 years later, we re still on the brink of flooding when it rains for an hour. The Urban Conservancy is on both sides of this street. They want to keep things as they are, and they want change. They want you to support your local small retailer, and they want you to bust up the concrete in your yard and make a garden to help stop street flooding. Dana Eness is the Executive Director of The Urban Conservancy. Seamus McGuire is an architect whose company, Cicada, is all about new buildings and new technology. They have a fleet of drones that they use for architectural photos, videos, 3D scanning, and mapping. And they do 3D printing. At the same time, Cicada is dedicated to keeping the new New Orleans blending with the old. For both The Urban Conservancy and Cicada, the central question is, How do you get tradition and change to be in balance, rather than conflict Photos over lunch at Commander s Palace by Jill Lafleur.

A look at the historical and present-day connections between democracy, land, housing and economic development. The history of the US is packed with people of color and poor people who've been stripped of their rights - to vote, to wages, to housing or even just the right to stay in the country -  through incarceration, segregation, slavery and deportation. For just as long, black communities have created safety, and won a say in democracy, through buying and keeping land cooperatively.  It's not just history, either. Mark Scott is an organizer of #blacklandmatters, a group working today, and Tia Powell Harris is the director of the Weeksville Heritage Center, Brooklyn's largest African-American cultural institution, which is dedicated to preserving the history of the 19th century African American community of Weeksville - one of America's first free black communities. This episode also features an exclusive report, Cooperation vs. Gentrification: Bed Stuy Strives to Stay Local, which explores ways people in the Bed Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn are using co-ops to find ways to benefit local communities and prevent the displacement caused by gentrification.
