Trong số các tiểu bang của Úc, Tasmania là nơi trồng khoai tây lớn nhất cả nước. Tuy nhiên, một loại virus mới được phát hiện trong những tháng gần đây đang khiến ngành nông nghiệp địa phương lo lắng. Dù vậy, các nhà trồng khoai tây vẫn lạc quan cho rằng virus này có thể kiểm soát được, và không gây nguy hiểm cho sức khỏe con người.
A Fistful of Datas (Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), S6 E8) was recommended by Izaak from Trek 365 (he/him), who said: I love your format and indeed you guys.I'm Izaak from Tasmania, Australia. I'm the host of the Trek 365 podcast and I'd like to suggest an episode I'm embarrassed to like.I should hate this episode. And when I find myself enjoying it, I hate myself a little bit too.- it's a holodeck episode- it's not remotely sci fi- no one is better for itIt's just ridiculous, obvious filler and not attempting to be cutting edge sci fi at all…however, isn't that what I miss about modern trek? That you don't have a 23rd episode of the series where you're trying to fill up the schedule with something cheap? This one is dumb and isn't trying to trick you; it's not trying to be the best episode of all time, so the low bar is met. It's just a safety blanket to keep you warm.Most people would skip it and have it in their bottom 10. I'm happy just to see my crew have fun with no danger or plot.As my grandfather used to say “I like my trash to be trashy”.A Fistful of Datas first aired on November 7, 1992, written by story by Robert Hewitt Wolfe, teleplay by Robert Hewitt Wolfe & Brannon Braga, and directed by Patrick StewartData's mind is connected to the ship's computer, which creates unforeseen effects on the holodeck.The Joy of Trek is hosted by Khaki & Kay, with editing & production by Chief Engineer Greg and music by Fox Amoore (Bandcamp | Bluesky)Send us your recommendations, or support us on Patreon.Find us at joyoftrek.com · Twitter · Facebook
NBL NOW | Everything NBLMark Worthington & Joel Peterson Is it panic stations for some teams already? Can teams afford to be patient in the NBL? The Ignite Cup is back tonight with massive double header Tasmania Vs Sydney Last game, Goorj reminded us why he’s the GOAT of coaches, could this be a chess match between two very strategic thinkers in Gorj and Roth?

Sydney is not a big team on the inside, is this a change for Will Magnay to really dominate? Perth Vs Brisbane What's going through Stu Lash’ head right now? Harrison Vs JLA will be a fascinating watch Ben Henshall - only 7 minutes on the court last game and 0/3 - what does he need to do to get going?

This week's host jeweller Kelly Twigg, speaks with Kasey Williams, founder of Nunatak Jewellery, who is currently deployed in Antarctica. Kasey talks about her passion for both her environmental engineering career and her jewellery-making hobby. Kasey shares her unique experience of making jewellery in an extreme environment, discussing how she adapts her techniques to the cold and dry conditions, and how she sources her materials. She also talks about her journey into silversmithing, her inspirations from nature and her travels, and her plans for Nunatak Jewellery after returning to Australia. This is a fascinating insight into the skills you need to make jewellery in a challenging place including resourcefulness and problem-solving skills. https://www.jewellersacademy.com/ Instagram @jewellersacademy About Kasey Nunatak is a handmade silver jewellery brand created in one of the most remote and extreme environments on Earth—Antarctica. Founded in 2025 by Kasey during her fourth season on the icy continent, Nunatak began as a creative outlet to keep her hands and mind busy during the long, cold polar winter. What started with a few quiet hours at the workbench in a research station has grown into a deeply personal craft, shaped by experience, resilience, and a love for untamed places. Kasey has been making silver jewellery since 2021, creating pieces both at the edge of the world and back home in Tasmania, Australia, where the wilderness is just as inspiring. With a background in environmental engineering, her work is grounded in a respect for nature's forms, materials, and stories. Each design is handcrafted with intention—simple, strong, and made to last—just like the adventurers who wear them. Website: www.nunataksilver.com Instagram: @_.Nunatak._
Interview with David Detata, Managing Director of Strategic Energy ResourcesRecording date: 9th October 2025Strategic Energy Resources (ASX:SER), a Perth-based junior explorer with a market capitalization of approximately $4-5 million, has established a distinctive position in Queensland's copper-gold exploration sector through its prospect generator business model and hypothesis-driven approach to target evaluation.Managing Director David Detata brings an unconventional background to mineral exploration, having spent nearly 20 years as a forensic scientist specializing in analytical chemistry before transitioning to the mining sector in 2019. This scientific discipline shapes the company's methodical approach: "We see each one of our individual copper projects as its own research entity. And we're employing that hypothesis testing approach to it."The company's portfolio comprises four copper-gold projects in Queensland, with the flagship Canobie Project exemplifying SER's partnership strategy. Following 18 months of negotiation, Fortescue (FMG) entered a joint venture committing $3 million for drilling four priority targets over 12 months. The agreement includes a 5% management fee and a two-stage earn-in structure (50% then 80%) over six years. Critically, SER negotiated drilling metrics requiring 3,000 meters of basement testing at each stage, ensuring meaningful exploration outcomes rather than just cover penetration.In March 2025, SER completed a transformational acquisition of the Diamantina project from Anglo American for $600,000, accessing approximately $20 million worth of previous exploration work. The project contains proven mineralization—161 meters at 0.4% copper including a higher-grade zone of 0.6 meters at 25.6% copper. Anglo American approached SER specifically based on their exploration methodology, providing access to data the broader market had never seen.The company employs machine learning models developed with Queensland government support and Caldera Analytics to optimize target selection, particularly at the Isa North project where active drilling is currently underway. This technology-driven approach, combined with collaborations with the University of Tasmania's CODES group, aims to improve discovery probabilities before committing capital.SER's business model focuses on advancing projects to proof-of-concept stage to attract major partners, preserving shareholder capital while maintaining discovery upside. As DeTata emphasizes: "For us the only thing that moves the needle is drilling success and we are determined to keep drilling."View Strategic Energy Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/strategic-energy-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Of all Australian states, Tasmania is the biggest producer of potatoes, and a lot of what's grown here goes into potato products you would know well – hot chips, hash browns and wedges among them. But a new virus detected in recent months is causing concern. Growers are optimistic it can be managed, stressing it doesn't pose a risk to human health.
In this episode of Spirit Box I'm joined by author and witch, Lee Morgan, to discuss his new title 'The Rag and Bone Man'. which is due out in November and is currently available for pre-order. Lee's work has been a big inspiration to me so it was a real pleasure to talk to him and we had a rich conversation that moved between witchcraft, storytelling, and the strange gothic landscapes of Tasmania.We talked about the genesis of The Rag and Bone Man, a project that began as a novel and grew into a fusion of fiction, research, and grimoire. Lee spoke about writing in trance-like states, about stories that come from spirits themselves, and about the way fiction can become the proper vessel for truths that can't be held by fact.From there we wandered into the realm of Tasmanian Gothic—its haunted histories, its spirits, and its place in Lee's search for a writer's voice between England, Australia, and Tasmania.In the Plus show we explored spiritualism, witchcraft, and the strange physical manifestations of mediumship, alongside the recurring motifs that weave through Lee's body of work.Our discussion also turned to the craft of writing: the patience it requires, the toll it can take, and the gift of treating creativity as a form of spiritual inheritance. Lee described how characters arrive as if alive, how stories can heal and transform, and how witchcraft itself deepens one's experience of the world.Along the way we touched on Irish myth, storytelling traditions, the relationship between spirit and text, and the global reach of Lee's magical writing.Show notes:The Rag and Bone Man https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop...Lee's Patreon / u19417687 Lee's website https://www.leemorganbooks.com/Lee on Instagram / ensorsmasks Sounds of Infinity https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sounds-Infin...Rag and Bone man historical reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rag-and...Keep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmason

It's October, AKA Monster Month! Let's learn about some animals of the Skeleton Coast--which sounds spooky, but actually isn't.

Sharp - Own work, from Sharp Photography, sharpphotography.co.uk, CC BY-SA 4.0]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. It's October at last, and that means monster month! To start us off this year, we're going to learn about animals of the Skeleton Coast, which sounds a lot more spooky than it actually is. The Skeleton Coast is a stretch of coastline 310 miles long, or 500 km, on the Atlantic coast of Africa. It's part of Namibia, a huge country in southern Africa that's mostly quite dry, with two deserts within its borders. Because the country gets so little rainfall, it has to conserve water for its people, animals, and crops, so the government is serious about conservation and natural resources. It's home to one of the most cutting-edge water treatment plants in the world, and since the government's establishment in 1993, it's been working to help farmers and citizens in general to practice sustainable natural resource management. It's also a beautiful part of the world, with amazing geography, and animals and plants found nowhere else in the world, so eco-tourism has been increasing, which helps the economy. Namibia is also home to the San people, who call the Skeleton Coast “the land god made in anger.” The northern part of the coast is blocked off from land by huge sand dunes, while the southern part is rocky. To get there, you have to cross a desert, and then cross a treacherous marsh that's hundreds of miles across. Then to get home, you have to go back the way you came across the marsh and the desert, because launching a boat from the Skeleton Coast is impossible if you don't have a powerful engine. The sea along the Skeleton Coast is treacherous, with lots of rocks offshore, extremely heavy surf, and frequent thick fogs. There are around a thousand shipwrecks visible along the coast, with the oldest dating to the 1530s, and thousands more documented that aren't visible or haven't been found yet. Ships still wreck there sometimes. Animals do live along the Skeleton Coast, especially seals. The brown fur seal, also called the Cape fur seal, has a huge colony in the northern part of the coast, which is a national park. The brown fur seal lives in various parts of southern Africa, with a subspecies that also lives on some islands off southeastern Australia and Tasmania. A big male can grow 7 ½ feet long, or 2.3 meters, and as you can probably guess from its name, it's mostly brown in color. Males have a short mane on the neck that's usually darker than the rest of its fur. It has magnificent long whiskers, especially males. The brown fur seal mainly eats fish, but it also likes squid and will eat other animals like crustaceans and even birds. It can dive deeply and stay underwater for over seven minutes. It spends most of its life in the water, mainly only coming out on land to breed, give birth, and take care of the babies. The seals used to be killed for their fur, but this was outlawed in Namibia in 1990 except by special permit, which has allowed the seals' numbers to increase. The Skeleton Coast is named that mainly because of the massive amounts of seal bones that fur hunters left behind after killing and skinning seals. Unfortunately, something the rocks around the Skeleton Coast collect are plastic debris, especially fishing debris like nets.

This episode examines one of Australia's most enduring aviation mysteries. On October 21, 1978, twenty-year-old pilot Frederick Valentich departed Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne on what should have been a routine flight to King Island.Flying a Cessna 182L across the Bass Strait, he expected an uneventful journey of just over 120 miles. Instead, he vanished. Despite an intensive week-long search covering more than a thousand square miles of sea and coastline, no wreckage or trace of the young pilot was ever found.Valentich was ambitious and deeply committed to flying, having logged 150 hours in the air and aiming to build a professional career in aviation. The Bass Strait was known for its unpredictable waters and history of disappearances, but the conditions that evening were favorable, making his disappearance even more perplexing.The mystery deepens when we revisit Valentich's final moments in the air. According to official records, he reported observing a large, metallic object with bright green lights that hovered and darted in ways no known aircraft could. He described it circling his plane and playing what seemed like a terrifying game. Then came an eerie metallic noise, and silence.Witnesses across Victoria and Tasmania also reported strange lights and objects in the sky that night. From Cape Otway to King Island, independent observers described green glows, metallic craft, and lights descending toward the sea.More than forty years later, the Valentich disappearance remains unsolved, a chilling story that continues to provoke fascination and wonder. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guest: Duc Do – AI expert, entrepreneur, author, and ultra-runner with a penchant for the “boring” and a training schedule that defies all conventional wisdom. Get Ready For: A wildly inspiring, deeply honest, and surprisingly hilarious conversation that proves there's no single “right” way to be a runner. Duc's story is a masterclass in resilience, creativity, and finding your own path. Why You'll Love This Episode: The Ultimate Underdog Story: Duc grew up in Vietnam and India, plagued by chronic illness from overuse of antibiotics. He was the kid who finished dead last in school runs, huffing and puffing while the girls passed him. Fast forward to today, and he's tackling 200-mile races like Delirious West. How? You'll have to listen! The “Cunning Plan” (a.k.a. The Anti-Training Plan): Forget 6am track sessions and weekly mileage logs. Duc's secret weapon? Running just once a week. That's right. He's a self-proclaimed “specialist at tapering” and has built an incredible ultra-running career on a single, long Sunday run. His philosophy: make it work for your crazy life, not the other way around. Embrace the Boring (Seriously): Duc didn't choose running because he loved it; he chose it because he feared and found it utterly boring. His logic? If something is that unappealing, it must be exactly what he needed to break his cycle of illness. Spoiler alert: it worked. Running as Radical Honesty & Meditation: For Duc, ultra-running isn't about medals or bragging rights. It's a “privileged playground” to practice mindfulness and be brutally honest with yourself. When you're 100 miles in, there's no facade left—just you, your breath, and your footsteps. He shares how this practice bleeds into everyday life. The Power of the DNF: In a world obsessed with finishing, Duc offers a refreshing perspective. He finds deep satisfaction in his Did Not Finishes (DNFs) because the races that cause them are often the most fascinating and transformative. It's not about the result; it's about the raw, unfiltered experience. Tips from the Maverick: For Motivation: Sign up for races! Duc calls them “valid excuses” to get out the door and commit. The financial investment and the start line are powerful motivators. For Mental Toughness: When your mind starts to wander (especially when you're tired or in pain), gently bring it back to the basics: your breath, your footsteps, or the simple rhythm of your movement. Counting or focusing on colours can help. For Race Strategy (His Way): Don't fight your need for sleep in ultras. Duc, a self-described “big sleeper,” prioritises 1.5-2 hour chunks of quality sleep over micro-naps during 200-milers. Find what works for your body. For Injury Prevention (Maybe): Being a slow runner might be his secret. Duc credits his lack of serious injuries to not pushing for speed, which puts less strain on the body. He's also transitioning more to trails for their softer impact and muscle variety. The Golden Rule: “There's a million ways [to run ultras], and there are a lot of ways that I have not even thought of just yet.” Your path is yours alone. Experiment and find what feels right. Duc's Next Big Adventures: He's eyeing the gruelling Volstead 500K in the US (because it sounds “boring as hell”) and is determined to conquer the Tour de Trails after two DNFs. His cunning plans for these are already in the works! Connect with Duc: Duc's LinkTree (all his links) - https://linktr.ee/ducdo

Twenty twenty-five has been a record-breaker for energy deals - over four hundred billion dollars in acquisitions, the highest in three years. But buried in all those massive oil and gas mergers is a quieter revolution happening in the wind fields of the world. It started in March last year when Macquarie Capital, the Australian investment giant, made a move that sent ripples through the wind industry. They acquired Onyx Insight, a British company that had been quietly revolutionizing how wind turbines are monitored. Onyx wasn't just another tech startup - they were monitoring seventeen thousand turbines across thirty countries, serving seven of the world's top ten wind operators. Macquarie knew what they were buying. This wasn't just about the technology - it was about the data. In the wind business, data is the new oil, and Onyx had been collecting it from turbines spinning from Texas to Tasmania. But Macquarie wasn't finished. A few days ago, Onyx announced they had acquired Eleven-i, a smaller British firm run by Bill Slatter. While Onyx could monitor most parts of a wind turbine, they had a critical blind spot: the blades themselves. Slatter had spent six years perfecting sensors that could detect blade problems weeks before they became catastrophes. His technology had successfully spotted a crack smaller than one meter, three weeks before the most sophisticated drones could see it. In an industry where a single blade failure can cost millions and shut down entire wind farms, that's pure gold. Here's what they don't tell you about the wind industry: it's not just about building bigger turbines anymore. As these giants grow longer than football fields and taller than skyscrapers, they're failing in ways nobody anticipated. Blade detachment, tower collapse, catastrophic gearbox failures - the list goes on. The smart money - and we're talking about some of the biggest infrastructure funds in the world - has figured out that the real value isn't in building more turbines. It's in keeping the ones already spinning from falling apart. The math is simple: artificial intelligence and data centers are driving electricity demand through the roof. The U.S. could see data centers consuming twelve percent of all electricity by twenty twenty-eight. That's staggering demand that can't wait for new power plants to be built. So investors are swarming companies that can squeeze more power out of existing infrastructure. Onyx, with its Macquarie backing, can now offer wind farm operators something they've never had: a complete picture of their turbine's health from the foundation to the blade tips. The Eleven-i acquisition fits perfectly into Macquarie's broader energy strategy. They've been on a buying spree - solar developers, waste management companies, renewable energy platforms. In Australia alone, they've completed sixty-five acquisitions across the energy sector. But here's the bigger picture: the wind industry is consolidating at breakneck speed. Just like oil and gas, where the top fifty companies have been whittled down to forty through mega-mergers, renewable energy is heading the same direction. The survivors won't be the companies that build the most turbines. They'll be the ones that can keep them spinning reliably for twenty, thirty,
In this powerhouse episode, we meet Gayle Cowling, who didn't run a step until her mid-30s—and now? She's completed multiple 100Ks, a 100-miler, and even a 500K multi-day stage race through remote South Australia (and danced into the finish line to Nutbush City Limits
A coronial investigation launched in Tasmania in 2016 has found the University of Tasmania removed and kept human remains without consent or approval. The investigation raises broader questions about collections of human remains in other universities and museums in Australia, and what obligation these institutions have to identify their origin.

In this episode, we talk to Stephanie Lake. The former dancer turned choreographer is the artistic director of Stephanie Lake Company, and also the resident choreographer for The Australian Ballet. She’s the winner of many awards, including the Helpmann, and while her rise was stratospheric, it wasn’t always linear. It was also somewhat delayed: Lake was a late bloomer in her chosen field, dancing in her teenage years only as a hobby. Her life story starts in Canada, before taking a turn south to Tasmania, and now Melbourne. Hosting this conversation – about a journey rich in resilience, creativity and balance – is Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some conversations feel like soul connections, and that's exactly how I felt sitting down with Dr. Erica Kreismann. Her journey from emergency medicine in New York—beginning just months before 9/11—to packing up her family and moving across the world to Tasmania is nothing short of remarkable. Through it all, what stands out most is her adventurous spirit, her heart for service, and her deep belief in the power of presence.In our conversation, Erica shares how burnout pushed her to reimagine life, what Tasmania taught her about slowing down, and why connection—whether with patients, colleagues, or loved ones—is the true heartbeat of healing. We talk about embracing fear as part of growth, letting go of judgment to make space for curiosity, and the life-changing shift that comes when you finally choose to fill your own cup first.A few gems you'll hear along the way:Why learning to be present is one of the greatest skills we can practiceHow fear isn't a sign to stop—it's an invitation to step forward with courageThe radical responsibility we must take for our healing and growthErica's story is a powerful reminder that life is an adventure meant to be lived fully, even when it feels uncertain.– Connect with Dr. Erica Kreismann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erica-kreismann/Website: https://www.onewildcoaching.com/ –Connect with Deanna:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannaherrin/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-herrin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeannaherrinWebsite: http://www.deannaherrin.net

And the best way to describe it as soul-full.It's Hanny's incredible story (so far) that is brave and vulnerable and heartbreaking and awe-inspiring. It will make you laugh and you cry. It's one of the most honest memoirs and autobiographies I've read in a long time.
The shooting of two police officers in the rural Victorian town of Porepunkah has revived questions about the licensing and ownership of guns in Australia. Nearly three decades since the Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, experts say we have 25 per cent more legal firearms than ever now registered in Australia, and advocates are concerned that our laws have been eroded. - Стрельба по двум полицейским в региональной Виктории вновь подняла вопросы о лицензировании и владении оружием в Австралии. Почти тридцать лет спустя после трагедии в Порт-Артуре эксперты отмечают: в стране на четверть больше легального оружия, чем когда-либо прежде.
On April 25th 2006, a small earthquake triggered an underground rockfall at the Beaconsfield gold mine in northern Tasmania. Of the seventeen people who were in the mine at the time, fourteen escaped immediately following the collapse, however three men were unaccounted for. Larry Knight, Brant Webb and Todd Russell were missing and only two of them would come out alive after two weeks being trapped nearly 1 kilometer below the surface.
