Podcast appearances and mentions of Terra Australis

Hace 250 años todavía se creía en la existencia de la conocida como la Terra Australis Incognita, una gran masa de tierra firme que supuestamente se encontraba bajo el trópico de Capricornio. El historiador Eloy Morera recuerda este episodio y su vínculo con el navegante James Cook.

Buceamos entre los archivos inéditos de la Batalla de Teruel y otras escenas de la Guerra Civil grabadas por el equipo del magnate Hearst con el historiador David Alegre. Conocemos el proyecto pionero de vivienda colaborativa en Zaragoza y el fenómeno biológico por el que una mula ha parido a un potro en Villarluego. Además, con Eloy Morera recordamos a James Cook y la  misteriosa Terra Australis.

durée : 01:01:39 - Le Cours de l'histoire - par : Xavier Mauduit, Maïwenn Guiziou, Jeanne Coppey - Du rêve d'une terre australe, abondante de ressources, à la découverte d'un espace hostile et inhabitable, la question de l'existence d'un continent à l'extrême sud de la Terre occupe scientifiques, navigateurs et marchands du Moyen Âge à l'époque moderne. - réalisation : Thomas Beau - invités : François Bellec Membre et ancien président de l'Académie de marine, ancien directeur du Musée national de la Marine et vice-président de la Société de Géographie; Sylviane Leoni Professeure émérite de littérature française du 18e siècle, spécialiste des relations de voyage; Hélène Richard Archiviste paléographe, inspecteur général honoraire des bibliothèques de l'Académie de marine

En el verano de 1768 James Cook, navegante y explorador británico, zarpó de Inglaterra rumbo a Tahití­ a bordo del Endeavour con el objetivo de observar y documentar el tránsito del planeta Venus y buscar en el Pací­fico Sur señales del continente más austral: la Terra Australis. En este viaje, el capitán Cook se convertirí­a en el primer europeo en llegar a costas australianas, descubriendo el arrecife de la Gran Barrera de Coral y cientos de nuevas especies de flora y fauna. Además, sus ambiciosos estudios de cartografí­a supusieron una ayuda inestimable para calcular las distancias entre los planetas del Sistema Solar.

Même si des navigateurs portugais ont pris pied, dès le début du XVIe siècle, sur cette grande île du bout du monde nommée alors "Terra Australis", les Européens ne s'intéresseront vraiment à l'Australie que deux siècles et demi plus tard.En effet, il faudra attendre 1770 pour que le célèbre explorateur James Cook prenne possession de la plus grande partie de l'Australie au nom du Roi d'Angleterre.Une fois à terre, les Européens découvrent avec étonnement la curieuse faune locale. Ainsi, ils sont intrigués par son représentant le plus emblématique, le kangourou, avec ses grands pieds, ses petits bras et sa poche ventrale. Les sauts de cet animal inconnu, qui deviendra le symbole de l'Australie, ne laissent pas non plus de surprendre les navigateurs.Le nom de cet animal lui a d'ailleurs été donné par les explorateurs venus de la lointaine Europe. Mais pourquoi l'ont-ils appelé ainsi ?Si l'on en croit la plaisante histoire qu'on raconte volontiers à ce sujet, ce nom viendrait d'un quiproquo. Descendu de son bateau, le capitaine Cook, avisant un kangourou gris, demande à un habitant rencontré sur les lieux comment s'appelle ce curieux animal.D'après une autre version du récit, le dialogue se serait noué entre cet indigène et Joseph Banks, un naturaliste anglais participant lui aussi à l'expédition de Cook.Quel que soit son interlocuteur, cet autochtone lui répond alors "kan ghu ru". Cook, ou Banks, pensant qu'il s'agit là du nom de l'animal, transcrit le mot entendu sous la forme écrite "kangaroo", qui donnera "kangourou" en français.Mais il s'agirait en fait d'un malentendu. En répondant ainsi, l'aborigène ne donnait pas le nom de l'animal, il indiquait simplement ne pas comprendre ce que lui disait le capitaine.Or, il semble que cette histoire, trop belle pour être vraie, relève de la légende. Il existe pourtant, dans les langues locales, un mot proche pour désigner le kangourou noir : le terme "gungurru".D'autres vocables désignent cet animal sous les noms de "mee-nuah" ou encore "patagorong" ou "patagoroug".

Captain Matthew Flinders RN is credited with naming Australia. He is also the first man to have circumnavigated the continent with the help of Bungaree and the crew of HM sloop Investigator. His book A Voyage to Terra Australis describes his travels around the great southern landmass, complete with maps and charts. In January 2019, archaeologists excavating a site just behind London's Euston Station discovered Flinders' coffin and his bones. It was a ground-breaking discovery that offered scientists the opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary man and his life. This week we take a look at the life and times of this illustrious naval explorer. A man who will go down in history as one of the world's greatest explorers.

Comme nous l'avions énoncé lors du dernier épisode, afin de valider ou non la thèse de l'existence de Terra Australis ; Cook débute son second voyage en 1772 sous les ordres de la royal society 

Sophie (age 8) and Ellie (age 6) tell the story of the great explorer Captain Cook who was the first European to discover Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii.----more---- Before we even start our episode Sophie and Ellie point out that there were already people living there who did not need to be discovered as they had their own cultures, languages and homes. However, we decide to tell the story anyway as Captain Cook was still a great explorer . James Cook was born 300 years ago in Britain. Britain was a powerful country who got rich through trading and from her colonies. James Cook was born into a poor family. When he was 16 he went to become a grocer. The grocer's was by the sea and James used to look out the sea and wonder what it would be like to be a sailor. After a year and a half he went to sea himself. He became a sailor on a ship which carried coal from Newcastle to London. It was a boring sailing job. However, James Cook spent his time learning all the mathematics that you needed to be a good sailor. Then war broke out between Britain and France. James decided he wanted a life of adventure so he joined the navy. He had to start at the bottom. However, the navy soon realized that he knew a lot about sailing and was good at maths. He was put in charge of the sailing on a warship. Britain and France were fighting to see who would rule Canada. The British decided to sail their navy up a river in Canada to attack the French. The French thought this was impossible. However, they had not reckoned with James Cook. He mapped the river and found out where it was safe for the British fleet to sail without hitting the rocks. The British found the French, defeated them and conquered Canada. The British admirals now realized that James Cook was a very clever man. After peace came they made him captain of his own ship and sent him to the Pacific. They told him that his job was to look at Venus from there. However, when he arrived he opened secret orders. Actually he job was to explore the islands and in particular to find the mythical land called Terra Australis – which we now call Australia. Captain Cook got very lucky because he met a local person called Tapaia. He knew the area very well and was a good sailor. Together they went exploring. The first place that Captain Cook found was what we now called New Zealand. There were people already there called the Maori. Then he carried on sailing and found what we now call Australia. There were other people living there who we sometimes called Aboriginal people. When he got back to Britain everyone was amazed. He was treated like a hero. He was sent out again to find more of Australia. This time he found lots of islands that he claimed for Britain. Then he was sent out a third time. This time he sailed to Hawaii and from there he went to the top of North America to what we now call Alaska. Up in the Arctic he tried to find a way to the Atlantic through the ice. He was not successful and sailed back to Hawaii. There he had an argument with the local King and was killed on the beach.   Still today though he is remembered as one of the greatest ever explorers. PATRONS' CLUB Next week we are going to tell the story of the First Fleet. This is the fleet which first took Europeans to colonise and settle in Australia.  This episode will be exclusively available on our Patrons' Club. Then the week after we will have another free episode available. You can join at www.patreon.com/historystorytime.

Mapy: https://imgur.com/a/qYceukX Patronite: https://patronite.pl/podcasthistoryczny/description Zabieram was dziś na prawdziwą przygodę! W 1766 roku brytyjskie Towarzystwo Królewskie wysłało obiecującego kartografa i nawigatora Jamesa Cooka, aby poprowadził własną wyprawę na południowy Pacyfik. Jego rozkazem było zaobserwowanie astronomicznego zjawiska przejścia Wenus przez Słońce. To było jednak dużo za mało dla ambitnego kapitana Cooka. Po wykonaniu pierwotnego zadania, kontynuował przeczesywanie półkuli południowej w poszukiwaniu legendarnego kontynentu Terra Australis. Zapuszczał się dalej i dalej, a podróż trwała od 1768 do 1771 roku, niemal trzy lata! Po powrocie Cooka do Londynu jego relacje z wyprawy uczyniły go gwiazdą. Stal się sławny do do tego stopnia, ze pod naporem Towarzystwa i społeczeństwa brytyjskiego wyruszył potem na jeszcze dwie wyprawy. każda z nich odkrywała kolejne nieznane zakątki Ziemi. Podczas kariery Cooka przepłynął ponad 350 000 km - prawie odległość do Księżyca. A po drodze podróżujący z nim naukowcy i artyści dokumentowali egzotyczną florę i faunę, nietknięte krajobrazy, rdzenną ludność i wiele więcej. Jeśli myślicie, ze Magellan i jego wielkie odkrycia geograficzne zrobili dużo, to co powiecie na to- Oprócz południowego Pacyfiku podróże Cooka zabrały go do Ameryki Południowej, Antarktydy, Nowej Zelandii, wybrzeża Pacyfiku od Kalifornii po Alaskę, koła podbiegunowego, Syberii, Indii Wschodnich i Oceanu Indyjskiego.

Terra Australis était le nom donné par les européennes au gigantesque continent imaginaire qu'ils pensaient trouver au niveau du pôle Sud, beaucoup plus grand que l'antarctique débordant par exemple dans une grande partie de l'océan Pacifique. 

Land locked at the moment due to Covid got us thinking about how Australia came to be?  Enter Matthew Flinders, the first man to circumnavigate Australia. His charts were so accurate that some are still in use to this day.His most successful voyage came between 1801 and 1803 when he charted the coastline of Australia, completing and linking together other partial surveys to give us the first complete picture of our island nation. Flinders recorded his voyage on the HMS Investigator, and if you have the opportunity, look up A Voyage to Terra Australis. The day after his book was published in 1814, Matthew Flinders died, aged only 40, but already with an indelible place in Australian history. Flinders lasting legacy is the name 'Australia' he gave to our country, lets find out more  on this week's episode.

Interview with Lyndsay Lyon from Ocean Guardian Today's interview is with Lyndsay Lyon from Ocean Guardian, originally and probably better known as SharkShield! They make a range of products that are designed to make ocean activities safer and to decrease the amount of shark attacks on humans. It works by creating an electrical field that surrounds the diver or surfer that causes a distinct and noticeable reaction in certain types of sharks (namely the ones we humans have trouble with, Great White, Bull Shark, Tiger Shark) and causes them to turn away. Now, making a product that aims to stop shark attacks is a big claim and needs to be backed up by solid evidence and rigorous testing. We had a ton of questions from our community asking the questions that everyone wants to know: Will this stop a Great White from biting me? How close do the sharks need to get for these products to work? Can I trust my life to this? If you are wondering at all about any of these questions, have a listen to this episode and it will answer all these and more! In the links below are several videos of these products being tested and you can see for yourself just how effective they are.   Important times: 00:14 Intro 05:00 Hello Lyndsay! Where did the name change come from? 06:42 How did you get involved with Terra Australis and Andre Rerekura? 07:50 Terra Australis did a test with the surf board product 09:00 Tell us about how sharks sense the world and how Ocean Guardian affects sharks 10:47 Do they see in colour? 12:12 What scientific studies have been done?

Tonight we’re chatting Christopher Sequeira, editor of Cthulhu Deep Down Under Volume 3.The book collects Lovecraftian Tales with an Australian bent. In the story that first established the monstrous cosmic terrors of his Mythos writer H. P. Lovecraft said “We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity…” Which makes it all the more fitting that the adepts of Lovecraft’s vision writing today would choose to unveil ever-evolving and terrible fears besetting those that live on the largest island on the planet, and force the protagonists of some startling new horror fiction tales in this book to face, indeed, not placidity, but their own black seas of infinity…and madness.Again, some of the greatest scribes of the weird and startling from the land down under bring you brand new stories in the Lovecraftian genre, taking you from the realms of contemporary Australian cities, to the blood-soaked, post-colonial past (touching the powerful original cultures of the land), and even hinting at the disturbing future of Terra Australis.You will fear a sunburnt country.Tales of terror by Alan Baxter, David Conyers, Julie Ditrich, Jason Fischer, Steve Kilbey, Steven Paulsen, Steve Proposch, Alf Simpson, Cat Sparks, Maurice Xanthos. Introduction by Cat Rambo and Afterword by Jack Dann.Christopher Sequeira is a writer and editor who specialises in short prose and comic-book scripts for the mystery, horror, science fiction and super-hero genres.

Bryan gained a few IQ points during his conversation with Sam Yield about Sam’s new record, “Terra Australis.” They also talked a lot about the role of pretension in art and the merits and criticisms of contemporary art.

Si hoy nos dicen Terra Australis pensamos en Australia, una isla-continente que forma el mayor país del hemisferio sur y uno de los más extensos del mundo, pero durante siglos no fue así. Mucho antes del descubrimiento y colonización de Australia por parte de los europeos, la Terra Australis era simplemente una hipótesis. Nadie había navegado hasta tan al sur, pero si en el hemisferio norte había una cantidad tan grande de tierras emergidas las leyes de la simetría invitaban a pensar que sucedería lo mismo en el hemisferio sur. La tierra quedaba de este modo “equilibrada”. El problema que tenían es que no podían saber a ciencia cierta que ese continente austral estaba ahí, tampoco conocían su ubicación exacta ni su tamaño, aunque, eso sí, lo presumían gigantesco porque tenía que compensar toda la masa continental euroasiática, buena parte de África y la mitad de América una vez se hubo descubierto ese continente a finales del siglo XV. Los geógrafos de la antigüedad y de la edad media se limitaron a enunciar su posible existencia, de ahí no pasaron porque en el mundo antiguo internarse en el océano más allá del estrecho de Gibraltar era ya algo impensable. Con la llegada de la era de los descubrimientos la vieja idea de la Terra Australis renació con mucha fuerza. Los portugueses primero y los españoles después empezaron a navegar hacia el sur, atravesaron el Ecuador y trazaron rutas que cruzaban los tres grandes océanos. El descubrimiento de la llamada Terra Australis se consideraba una cuestión de tiempo, de peinar el océano una y otra vez hasta dar con sus costas. Sin siquiera ser descubierta, los cartógrafos europeos comenzaron a dibujar sus límites en los mapas y a ponerle nombres como Terra Australis Incognita o, mejor aún y como estaban tan seguros de que iban a dar con ella, Terra Australis Nondum Cognita (tierra austral aún no conocida). A finales del siglo XVIII, ya con prácticamente todos los océanos cartografiados se abandonó su búsqueda. Simplemente la Terra Australis no existía, el planeta estaba desequilibrado, al menos en lo que a tierras emergidas se refiere. Décadas más tarde los británicos decidieron rebautizar la colonia de Nueva Holanda como Australia en homenaje a esa Terra Australis que tanta tinta había hecho correr y tantas singladuras infructuosas había provocado. Australia estaba formada por una gran isla avistada por primera vez por los españoles en el siglo XVI y que posteriormente los holandeses habían cartografiado con más detenimiento. En eso y en unas islas de menor tamaño que atienden al nombre de Tasmania y Nueva Zelanda se quedó la Terra Australis. Hoy forman, junto a una miríada de islotes en el Pacífico, el quinto continente, Oceanía, el más pequeño y menos poblado del mundo.

MFTU guest Stephen Lymbery has a diverse and interesting career having studied Medicine, Law, History, Psychology - Currently he hosts and facilitates, under the banner of Common Law Courts of Terra Australis. He endeavours to bring forth speakers and facts exposing the illusion of the fiction world providing people with solutions to the actions of Criminals occupying, unlawfully, the positions of control in the Government Corporation and the web that spreads from that deceit. Lymbery considers himself to be most fortunate, in that he was able to spend a considerable amount of time with David-Wynn: Miller (prior to his passing on June 22, 2019), ultimately attending court and co-hosting seminars with David. As a result of this lengthy time over a decade with David and the knowledge and logic he experienced with Wynn-Miller, Stephen is now with the position of Plenipotentiary-Judge and Post-Master with the confirmation through contract with David-Wynn-Miller and the likes of Monte Edwin Mueller – And to his knowledge, the only Plenipotentiary -Judge in Australia, with this confirmation in writing by David Wynn-Miller himself.

MediaMAC/Anilla del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Chile te invita a la vigésimo tercera edición de nuestro podcast Irrupciones en el MAC. Casi prontos a terminar nuestra segunda temporada de Irrupciones, quisimos dar continuidad a la edición pasada, cuando junto a los artistas sonoros Rainer Krause y Geogina Canifrú abordamos las nociones de territorio y paisaje sonoro a partir de diversas estrategias de cartografías sonoras con especial sensibilidad a la extrañeza que nos provoca el sonido como dimensión de nuestro ser y habitar en el mundo. En una línea de continuidad con aquello, estar tarde hablaremos de Terra Australis Ignota, proyecto expositivo liderado por el artista medial chileno Nicolás Spencer que junto a la escritora Paula López Wood, al geólogo de Prisma Austral Gerd Sielfeld y al destacado arqueólogo y académico de la Universidad de Magallanes Alfredo Prieto han impulsado un grupo de investigación en torno a la idea de “territorios testigos”. La exhibición se realizará durante el primer semestre de 2021 en la sede Parque Forestal del MAC y plantea una exploración personal y colectiva por la historia profunda de las formaciones geológicas del extremo austral de Chile, junto a su influencia en el devenir humano al formar parte de una naturaleza tan ruda como generosa. Ello nos permitirá sobre los imaginarios construidos en estas tierras extremas por miles de años, desmitificando de paso el carácter romántico de la colonización para develar la barbarie europea y Republicana. Para ello hablaremos de la construcción de relatos en torno a testigos imperecederos, como el viento, las rocas y los paisajes, relatos que buscan hacer algo así como ciencia-ficción invitándonos a construir nuevos imaginarios a partir de la experiencia velada, oscura y casi sinestésica.

Home secretary Priti Patel's initiative to examine plans for an offshore immigration centre on Ascension Island — more than 4,000 miles from the UK — put the government's asylum policy under the spotlight this week and bore striking similarities with policies adopted by Australia's centre-right Liberal party. Why are the Tories so fond of Australia? Plus, a look at why Downing Street has not shied away from warning the public that tougher coronavirus restrictions may lie ahead this winter.Presented by Sebastian Payne, with George Parker, Robert Shrimsley, Sarah Neville and special guest, John McTernan. Produced by Josh de la Mare. The sound engineer was Breen Turner and the editor, Liam Nolan. Music by Metaphor Music. Review clips: BBC, Parliament TV.

250 years ago, on April 29, 1770, two worlds collided: Captain James Cook set foot on Australian soil. To some he is a courageous explorer; to others, a coloniser who stole land from the first Australians. - Zum 250. Jahrestag der Ankunft von Captain James Cook auf dem legendären Südkontinent Terra Australis (29. April 1770) bat SBS drei Historiker und einen Nachkommen eines indigenen Augenzeugen um eine Einschätzung.

It's that time of week again, so check out our newest episode.To start this week, we have a bit of levity. NASA have programmed one of their robots to hit itself with a shovel. It's all for a good cause, they want to get their InSight lander's mole digging again. The probe became stuck and using the shovel as a hammer is just the latest attempt to get it going again.DJ wants to tell us about Hollywood's response to COVID-19, including delays to the filming of Amazon's Lord of the Rings series. Now New Zealand has closed their borders and the Hobbits will not be going to Isengard.Next, it's time to enter THE FORBIDDEN LIBRARY. It isn't just in Harry Potter anymore; a group have created a library dedicated to copying articles from countries without press freedom. Did we mention it's in Minecraft? Next time you get busted playing Minecraft when you should be doing homework, just say you're researching.On this week's games section, Professor makes a declaration that will surely lead to war. Having experienced Final Fantasy 7 and Black Mesa, he declares Black Mesa the better remake. If anyone has an issue with this, we'll have to substitute fisticuffs with videogames.NASA’s high stakes mission: interplanetary whack a mole-https://hackaday.com/2020/03/12/interplanetary-whack-a-mole-nasas-high-stakes-rescue-plan-for-insight-landers-science-mission/Coronavirus hits Hollywood-https://www.bleedingcool.com/2020/03/15/the-lord-of-the-rings-series-suspends-new-zealand-production/- https://deadline.com/2020/03/rob-mcelhenney-challenge-studios-pay-staffs-shows-shut-down-coronavirus-1202883656/Minecraft library of forbidden texts- https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/13/tech/minecraft-uncensored-library-scli-intl/index.htmlGames PlayedProfessor- Final Fantasy 7 Remake Demo - https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0082-CUSA07237_00-FFVIIREMAKETRIALRating – 8/5DJ– Warface - https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/warface-ps4/Rating – 3.5/5Other topics discussedCoronavirus Update- https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/Glastonbury festival cancelled due to coronavirus- https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/mar/18/glastonbury-festival-postponed-due-to-coronavirusIncidents of price gouging during the coronavirus- https://www.choice.com.au/shopping/online-shopping/selling-online/articles/coronavirus-and-price-gougingMonsters Inc : 2319- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUFJ1yVhJ6gAladdin : Genie calling a Code Red- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MF345T3GX8Update : The interplanetary whack a mole mission was a success- https://www.popsci.com/story/space/mars-mole-plan-c/Elijah Wood’s take on Amazon’s Lord of the Rings TV series costing $1 Billion- https://www.indiewire.com/2019/04/elijah-wood-lord-of-the-rings-amazon-1-billion-1202127879/2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike (From November 5, 2007, to February 12, 2008, all 12,000 film and television screenwriters of the American labor unions Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE), and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) went on strike.

Backyennew says his son already regularly played Minecraft with his friends, so it quickly became their go-to hangout after the Japanese government closed schools two weeks ago in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Using it as a social space to hold their own graduation ceremony just made sense. It looks like these kids built a whole dang assembly hall, complete with a stage, seating, and a proper red carpet which they could all walk down in order to receive their virtual diplomas. The backdrop is even emblazoned with the word "Summer," just to reinforce the end-of-school vibes. Japanese netizens seemed to feel the same way with their comments:“The kids are all right.”“Parents are doing ‘telework’ and kids are doing ‘telegraduation.'”“I’m so jealous of what awesome things kids have these day.”“Those who say video games are bad, look at this!”“This will probably be an even better memory than a regular graduation for them.”16 March 2020 – Sonic beats Detective Pikachu…in the box office - https://movieweb.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-video-game-movies-box-office/Sonic the Hedgehog has managed to claim a record by becoming the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time, at least at the domestic box-office. The Paramount production currently stands at a little above $145 million dollars domestic collection. This puts it slightly ahead of Detective Pikachu, which managed to make around $144 million domestically. However, Detective Pikachu is still ahead of Sonic the Hedgehog in international territories, with earnings of over $400 million dollars. The future of video game movies appears to be looking bright now, with the medium finally being considered seriously by big Hollywood studios which are willing to allocate huge budgets and significant star power to those projects.16 March 2020 – Steam hits 20 million concurrent users - https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam/20-million-users-coronavirusThe precise number being 20,313,451. Curiously, though 20 million is the highest since records began, the number of in-game players is yet to break records. It appears a lot of users are idling in their library, browsing the store, or have just left it running in the background. The top game as we speak is CS:GO at 971k, followed by Dota 2 with 616k and PUBG at 264k. The 14 million difference between those logged into Steam and those playing is substantial, but this record at least points to continued growth for Valve’s platform. Increased competition from companies like Epic doesn’t appear to have caused any major issues, though Fortnite did once beat Steam’s in-game player record all on its own.Remembrances16 March 1935 – John Macleod - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Macleod_(physiologist)John James Rickard Macleod, Scottish biochemist and physiologist. He devoted his career to diverse topics in physiology and biochemistry, but was chiefly interested in carbohydrate metabolism. He is noted for his role in the discovery and isolation of insulin during his tenure as a lecturer at the University of Toronto, for which he and Frederick Banting received the 1923 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine. Awarding the prize to Macleod was controversial at the time, because according to Banting's version of events, Macleod's role in the discovery was negligible. It was not until decades after the events that an independent review acknowledged a far greater role than was attributed to him at first. He died after suffering from several years of arthritis at the age of 58 in Aberdeen.16 March 2012 – Donald E. Hillman - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_E._HillmanDonald Edison Hillman, American World War II flying ace and prisoner of war credited with five enemy aircraft destroyed. He was also the first American pilot, in 1952, to make a deep-penetration overflight of Soviet territory for the purpose of aerial reconnaissance. He flew a Boeing B-47B Stratojet which left Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. It crossed over the Arctic ocean, turned eastwards back over Siberia, and returned to Eielson via Provideniya. It was the United States' first deep-penetration reconnaissance mission against the Soviet Union. He died at the age of 93 in Seattle, Washington.16 March 2016 – Alexander Esenin-Volpin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Esenin-VolpinAlexander Sergeyevich Esenin-Volpin, Russian-American poet and mathematician. A notable dissident,political prisoner and a leader of the Soviet human rights movement, he spent a total of six years incarcerated and repressed by the Soviet authorities in psikhushkas and exile. In mathematics, he is known for his foundational role in ultrafinitism. His early work was in general topology, where he introduced Esenin-Volpin's theorem. Most of his later work was on the foundations of mathematics, where he introduced ultrafinitism, an extreme form of constructive mathematics that casts doubt on the existence of not only infinite sets, but even of large integers such as 1012. He died at the age of 91 in Boston.Famous Birthdays16 March 1774 – Captain Matthew Flinders - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_FlindersEnglish navigator and cartographer who led the second circumnavigation of New Holland that he would subsequently call "Australia or Terra Australis" and identified it as a continent. Flinders made three voyages to the Southern Ocean between 1791 and 1810. In the second voyage, George Bass and Flinders confirmed that Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) was an island. In the third voyage, Flinders circumnavigated the mainland of what was to be called Australia, accompanied by Aboriginal man Bungaree. Heading back to England in 1803, Flinders' vessel needed urgent repairs at Isle de France (Mauritius). Although Britain and France were at war, Flinders thought the scientific nature of his work would ensure safe passage, but a suspicious governor kept him under arrest for more than six years. In captivity, he recorded details of his voyages for future publication, and put forward his rationale for naming the new continent 'Australia', as an umbrella term for New Holland and New South Wales – a suggestion taken up later by Governor Macquarie. He was born in Donington, Lincolnshire.16 March 1840 – Shibusawa Eiichi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibusawa_EiichiShibusawa Eiichi, 1st Viscount Shibusawa, Japanese industrialist widely known today as the "father of Japanese capitalism". He spearheaded the introduction of Western capitalism to Japan after the Meiji Restoration. He introduced many economic reforms including use of double-entry accounting, joint-stock corporations and modern note-issuing banks. He founded the first modern bank based on joint stock ownership in Japan. The bank was aptly named The First National Bank (Dai Ichi Kokuritsu Ginkō, now merged into Mizuho Bank) and had the power to issue its own notes. Through this bank, he founded hundreds of other joint stock corporations in Japan. Many of these companies still survive to this day as quoted companies in the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which Shibusawa also founded. The Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry was founded by him as well. He was also involved in the foundation of many hospitals, schools, universities (including the first women's university), the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and charitable organizations including the Japan Red Cross. On April 9, 2019, it was announced that Eiichi would be the historical figure featured on Japanese ¥10000 banknotes expected to enter circulation around 2024. He was born in Fukaya, Saitama.16 March 1856 – Napoléon, Prince Imperial - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napol%C3%A9on,_Prince_ImperialNapoléon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte, prince imperial, the only child of Emperor Napoleon III and his wife, Eugénie de Montijo. After his father was dethroned in 1870, he relocated with his family to England. On his father's death in January 1873, he was proclaimed by the Bonapartist faction as Napoleon IV, Emperor of the French. The asteroid moon Petit-Prince was named after the Prince Imperial in 1998, because it orbits an asteroid named after his mother (45 Eugenia). He was born in Paris, French Empire.16 March 1936 – Raymond Damadian - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_DamadianRaymond Vahan Damadian, American physician, medical practitioner, and inventor of the first MR (Magnetic Resonance) Scanning Machine. Damadian's research into sodium and potassium in living cells led him to his first experiments with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) which caused him to first propose the MR body scanner in 1969. Damadian discovered that tumors and normal tissue can be distinguished in vivo by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) because of their prolonged relaxation times, both T1 (spin-lattice relaxation) or T2 (spin-spin relaxation). Damadian was the first to perform a full body scan of a human being in 1977 to diagnose cancer. Damadian invented an apparatus and method to use NMR safely and accurately to scan the human body, a method now well known as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He went on to collaborate with Wilson Greatbach, one early developer of the implantable pacemaker, to develop an MRI-compatible pacemaker. He was born in New York City, New York.16 March 1971 – Alan Tudyk - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_TudykAlan Wray Tudyk, American actor and voice actor. He is known for his roles as Hoban "Wash" Washburne in the space western series Firefly and the film Serenity and Tucker McGee in Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. He has also had starring roles in the films DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story,I, Robot,A Knight's Tale, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Rogue One. Since voicing King Candy in 2012's Wreck-It Ralph, Tudyk has voiced characters in every Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film. He wrote, directed, and starred in the comedy web series Con Man (2015–17) about a struggling actor whose career is still defined by a successful science fiction TV show he was once on, loosely based on Tudyk's own experience having been on Firefly. The series aired on Syfy in 2017 and earned him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. As of 2019, Tudyk plays the main antagonist, Mr. Nobody, in the DC Universe series Doom Patrol. He was born in El Paso, Texas.Events of Interest16 March 1926 – First liquid-fueled rocket - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-liquid-fueled-rocketAmerican Robert H. Goddard, successfully launches the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket at Auburn, Massachusetts, on March 16, 1926. The rocket traveled for 2.5 seconds at a speed of about 60 mph, reaching an altitude of 41 feet and landing 184 feet away. The rocket was 10 feet tall, constructed out of thin pipes, and was fueled by liquid oxygen and gasoline. His work was recognized by the aviator Charles A. Lindbergh, who helped secure him a grant from the Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics. Using these funds, Goddard set up a testing ground in Roswell, New Mexico, which operated from 1930 until 1942. During his tenure there, he made 31 successful flights, including one of a rocket that reached 1.7 miles off the ground in 22.3 seconds. Meanwhile, while Goddard conducted his limited tests without official U.S. support, Germany took the initiative in rocket development and by September 1944 was launching its V-2 guided missiles against Britain to devastating effect. During the war, Goddard worked in developing a jet-thrust booster for a U.S. Navy seaplane. He would not live to see the major advances in rocketry in the 1950s and ’60s that would make his dreams of space travel a reality. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is named in his honor.16 March 1968 – My Lai Masscre - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/my-lai-massacre-takes-place-in-vietnamA platoon of American soldiers brutally kills as many as 500 unarmed civilians at My Lai, one of a cluster of small villages located near the northern coast of South Vietnam. The crime, which was kept secret for nearly two years, later became known as the My Lai Massacre. a platoon of soldiers from Charlie Company received word that Viet Cong guerrillas had taken cover in the Quang Ngai village of Son My. The platoon entered one of the village’s four hamlets, My Lai 4, on a search-and-destroy mission on the morning of March 16. Instead of guerrilla fighters, they found unarmed villagers, most of them women, children and old men. The soldiers had been advised before the attack by army command that all who were found in My Lai could be considered VC or active VC sympathizers, and were told to destroy the village. the massacre reportedly ended when an Army helicopter pilot, Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson, landed his aircraft between the soldiers and the retreating villagers and threatened to open fire if they continued their attacks. The events at My Lai were covered up by high-ranking army officers until investigative journalist Seymour Hersh broke the story. Soon, My Lai was front-page news and an international scandal.16 March 2001 – Terminator has a rare theatrical re-release -https://www.scifihistory.net/march-16.htmlOn this day in 2001, The Terminator enjoyed a rare theatrical re-release in the United Kingdom.

Captain James Cook is known for his extensive voyages that took him throughout the Arctic and Pacific Oceans in the mid-1700's. Unbeknownst to his crew, he had simultaneously been sent on a clandestine voyage by the British government to discover the lost continent of Antarctica, at that time called "Terra Australis." During this journey, he mapped several island groups in the Pacific that had been previously discovered by other explorers. But he was the first European we know of to encounter the Hawaiian Islands. While on these voyages, Cook discovered that New Zealand was an island. He would go on to discover and chart coastlines from the Arctic to the Antarctic, east coast of Australia to the west coast of North America plus the hundreds of islands in between. Thanks for watching, guys.

Sogar James Cook nannte das Land noch New Holland. Erst Captain Matthew Flinders, der als erster Engländer den Kontinent umrundete, griff auf den antiken Namen zurück und nannte es Terra Australis oder kurz Australia.

The early twentieth century saw the exploration of the remotest land on Earth: Antarctica.

First Story:  “Nightship” by Kim Westwood Here the linen smells of mice and the men of old boots. I lie beneath a slaughter of ferals, cushioned in my guilty comforts and waiting for this black-caulked hulk to sink; but it glides like death along the briny channels of a shrouded city half-submerged – a Grey Zone, neither sea nor shore. Past my porthole other nightships slice the mist thickening on dank canals. Blunt-nosed, barnacled, they nudge from lock to lock, deals done and deliveries made under cover of perpetual fog. Kim Westwood developed her distinctive visual prose style while working as a theatre performer and deviser. Darkly poetic, her stories have a preoccupation with humanity’s capacity for destruction and equal instinct for survival. Most are set in an alternative reality Australia. Of this she says: ‘My imagination has a chemical reaction to living on Terra Australis, and responds strongly to its particular... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

El capitán Cook, uno de los exploradores mas grandes de la historia, partió a bordo del Resolution en 1772, en busca de la Terra Australis, un continente imaginario del que se pensaba que Africa formaba parte. Demostró que tal tierra no existía, descubrió nuevos parajes e islas y cruzó por primera vez el Círculo Polar Antártico. Entre todas sus hazañas, la que más nos interesa hoy, es la batalla que ganó una de las enfermedades más mortíferas que surgían durante esos largos viajes: el escorbuto. El escorbuto es la muestra más dramática de la carencia de vitaminas, por esa razón, hoy, Ulises nos invita a una comida sana, rica en esas sustancias imprescindibles para nuestro organismo. Ampliará el tema la investigadora Maria Cruz Matallana, profesora en la Facultad de Farmacia de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

This episode takes a look at explorers not the usual fighting and politics.  Cook sails to the Pacific times and Bligh is only remembered because of a certain mutiny.

The scene is idyllic; abundant cabbage-tree palms sway on the beach as sea fowls soar above Pellew’s Group of Islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria. In December 1802 the Investigator, under the command of Captain Matthew Flinders, sailed into the Gulf, continuing its arduous circumnavigation of Australia. Aboard the sloop was the young artist William Westall, who produced a wide range of sketches during his Australian voyage. Upon his return to England the Admiralty commissioned nine oil paintings of New Holland, including View of Sir Edward Pellew’s Group, Gulph of Carpentaria 1802. Art historians such as Bernard Smith have recognised that this is an innovative and remarkable painting.1 It is notable both for its heightened sense of light and the well-defined horizontal lines, delicately intersected by palms. In standard Picturesque paintings the foreground is dark and brooding, receding to a light background, usually with one tall feature, such as a tree or a mountain, placed at the side to frame the composition. By placing the palms in the centre of a sun-drenched vista, Westall negates this customary sense of recession and avoids neatly enclosing the scene; instead it is left open, clear and light. Painted nearly a decade after he was in the Gulf, Westall has made significant alterations to the original pencil sketch.2Most obvious is the addition of the mia-mia, a small shelter under which are housed rangga, sacred objects. In his account of the voyage, Flinders mentions ‘a small monument’ made up of ‘two cylindrical pieces of stone’, as well as nutmeg ‘growing upon a large spreading bush’ and ‘a pretty kind of duck’, all incorporated into Westall’s work.3 For the artist, the ‘monument’ and other additions are useful because they give the painting that variety and interest demanded of Picturesque landscapes. Westall was clearly aware of Picturesque formulas when he made the changes to his original rough sketches. While in Australia scientific accuracy was Westall’s priority, in London the paintings were intended to win him artistic acclaim. According to theorists such as William Gilpin, the Picturesque should stimulate the imagination to reverie or admiration, and must include a variety of elements. Westall believed the real Australia contained none of these fundamentals: he was scathing in his description of the ‘barren’ coastline, writing that his New Holland subjects could neither ‘afford pleasure from exhibiting the face of a beautiful country, nor curiosity from their singularity’.4 It was therefore incumbent upon him to use his artistic skills to compensate for the dull landscape by making improvements and adjustments. View of Sir Edward Pellew’s Group, Gulph of Carpentaria 1802 is an intriguing work. Westall has conformed to the Picturesque, adding the obligatory variety and interest, while also demonstrating how a new aesthetic can evolve in a new land.
