80 Reported Dead As Wildfires Ravage Through The Hawaiian Island Of Maui
"Tragic news out of Hawaii as the number of people missing in the midst of these fires, these wildfires, could be as high as 1 ,000. That is the report that we are getting. Now one woman, a Maui resident, hopes that her grandmother has escaped as she struggles to reach her. We don't know where she is. This is what the woman told NBC Nightly News. This is just very, very tragic. As of about 3 .14 p .m. Eastern Daylight Time, officials have confirmed about 80 deaths as these wildfires ravished through the island of Maui and Maui County Mayor Richard Bison warned the death toll could go up, it could rise. A total of about 2 ,200 buildings and other structures have been destroyed. This is as of Friday while 2 ,170 acres have been burned. So again, the death toll hits 80 as officials say rebuild efforts could top 5 .5 billion, not a million, we're talking billions. Six fires are burning in Maui and the Big Island, but officials say the Lahaina Fire is now 85 % contained. Many of the town's historic landmarks are lost. Hawaii Governor Josh Green said the fires are likely to be the largest natural disaster in the state's history. Of course, Lahaina is the most impacted area of the island. It's located in the western area of Maui. According to the Associated Press, Maui residents returned to their neighborhoods to find block after block of flattened homes and businesses, incinerated telephone poles, and ashy lots where apartment buildings once stood. I don't know what's going on with all these wildfires. We had a tremendous amount of wildfires, you know, I think it was Alaska that impacted the northwest, the region of the country where I live. Just a lot of smoke and just, you know, very dangerous breathing conditions and things like that. I think it's the global warming and I think, you know, when it comes to the environment, the Biden administration, him and his cabinet, they really need to get a grasp on what's going on with these wildfires. What is going on in the environment that is triggering, you know, these wildfires? Now, we know it's been, you know, a heatwave, you know, throughout different parts of the country and anytime there's hot weather and humidity, that means that, you know, it's dry. And of course, those conditions are very favorable for wildfires and they kind of trigger all of that. So we are definitely praying for the citizens of Maui that everything is okay. The loss of life has been tremendous already. Again, the death toll has reached about 80 people. So many buildings and structures have been flattened by these wildfires. Maui, you are definitely in our prayers. You guys have been locked into another edition of Convo Over Cigars on a Saturday. Of course, I'm your host, Derrick Andre Flemming. You guys take care.

Our prayers go out to the citizens of Maui. Hawaii is a beautiful place. I've been there multiple times. Very beautiful. The Big Island, Oahu, just a beautiful place. Very tropical.

The Iowa State Fair is in the center of the political universe this weekend as the top 2024 Republican hopefuls try to gain support. Former President Trump is getting a mixed reaction from some GOP voters. I like what Trump could do if he just kept his mouth shut. Right. So that was the thing. And so I don't he's not a good leader. He's I liked his philosophies and what he was trying to accomplish. But the way he went about it, not good. Polls show Trump with a commanding lead over his GOP rivals, despite several recent indictments. The former president's campaign appearance in Des Moines comes amid reports that Georgia District Attorney Fannie Willis is expected to present her case against Trump to a grand jury early next week due to his attempt to overturn the state's results in the 2020 presidential election. If Trump is indeed indicted in Georgia, it'll be the fourth indictment of the former president this year.

"Potential strike, but it does not address sick pays issue that had been sticking point for the unions. Republican senator Josh hawley, well, he lays it at the feet of the president. The only reason we're involved is because Joe Biden negotiated agreement without the worker support and then turned around to Congress and said, here, you make them take this. Biden promises to continue the fight to get the worker sick pay. Another big loss for Donald Trump as appeals court has vacated the job of special master in looking at the files taken from Mar-a-Lago.

"This is wet notes here on scuba shock radio for monday. September twenty seventh two thousand and twenty one first up. I want to congratulate tech clark and a dive locker. Podcast on celebrating the second anniversary for those who don't know about this. Podcast tech. Started this to help die professionals with various topics and techniques. But it's not just for dive professionals. I remember listening to the first episode. Way back in two thousand nineteen just before dima that year i've come to look forward to each weekly episode tech plans to keep the show going and has teed up a lot of great new content for the year year ahead. So i'd encourage you to check out the dive locker podcast. There's a lot of great information and perspective on things that hopefully will give you something to think about. Scuba shack is a proud patron of the dive locker. By the way tech also hosts a podcast titled the league of extraordinary divers. Where you can listen to some of the giants of our industry. Great job tech. Keep it coming now. I don't know what it is. But i seem to be a sucker for a message in a bottle story. So here's another one this time. The story involves a bottle that was washed up on the shores of the big island of hawaii. The bottle started his journey thirty seven years ago from japan and it was put in the water by school children. As part of an experiment in monitoring ocean currents the number of bottles were cast into the ocean in nineteen eighty-four from choshi highschool hawaii's about six thousand kilometers or four thousand three hundred miles from the launch point now. The bottle was found by abbie graham while her family was visiting a beach near hilo. It is estimated that about seven hundred and fifty of these bottles were tossed into the ocean between nineteen eighty four and nineteen eighty five. The last time one was found was in two thousand and two on kake. Jima island overall. The bottles have been found in seventeen. Different locations including okinawa the philippines china and even the west coast of the united states. I just get fascinated by these stories and often wonder just how many messages in bottles are out there in the ocean now. Last week we got an email from the clearly clearly came in resorts and it wasn't good. News clearly came in resorts include cobalt coast on grand cayman. Little came beach resort and cayman. Brac beach resort. The news informed us that the cayman borders will remain closed until two thousand twenty two. Now that's tough at a recent press conference to premier indicated that phase. Three of the original plan will start sometime. In february given the rise in cove in nineteen cases the resorts are now planning on opening on february. Fifth two thousand twenty two. Now this has been a really tough situation. If you remember way back in april i reported that the plan was to open in late april or early may two thousand and twenty one. It's been a long and difficult road for a lot of places. Surely the caymans are feeling abroad. We hope it gets resolved before october. Twenty twenty two trip yet. That on certain there's been a great deal of communication coming from tom. Ingram the president and ceo of dima the dive equipment marketing association regarding the two thousand twenty one show in las vegas. Tom unequivocal be states. That the show has absolutely no plans. Of cancelling now they did indicate that accordance with the local health mandates. Everyone will be required to wear a mask on the exhibit floor. There are several large past exhibitors. Who are forgoing the show this year causing some to question whether it should even take place. I know we've been getting a lot of surveys from our vendors as to whether we plan to go or not right now matt and i will be there. Tom indicated that it would be extremely difficult to cancel at this late date. Given the contracts that are in place and that if it were cancelled it would seriously impact demon's ability to put on these shows in the future. So we're looking forward to a successful show this year out in las vegas and finally today. I wanna talk about a piece of underwater camera gear that you might just want to consider. There was an article from sport diver magazine by john widow titled great camera accessories for underwater photography. It was a scuba lab review of the products that the staff took diving at alexander springs in central florida. First on the list was a sea life. Sport diver smartphone housing. Now that's pretty cool. I can remember my first. Underwater camera was sealife. Reef master with a whopping three mega pixels now. This housing will fit a number of iphones and android smartphones.

"Although it's been nice here on the golf course but it would really be nice to be able to see the ocean That would be nice. The red tide could be an issue. A lot of things could be an issue absolutely. But i'm just saying you know. I mean here. We i was thinking of all the things we walked across the gulf. I there's been ducks there's been. We've seen the alligator team seeing that tortoise tortoise walker cross there we've seen the blue heron bach across seeing all the different birds. I mean. we've seen the ohio when we saw the silhouette of the cairo in the morning. One time and we saw bob cat in the area. I'm sure they walk across the gulf chris to we just didn't see him but the thing is you wouldn't see any of that stuff on the ocean but we would see the dolphins and we would see the sunrise. I just think that would be really interesting. Well i have a chance to try that out in december because we're going to be on the ocean for that first month and a reference point. I tend to think that a house away from the coast is going to be more affordable and because the beaches are so close to everywhere on the island. You don't really give up that much except the views. Nothing like look out a window but this is really nice is beautiful. It's tough to beat this. That's for sure well and the other thing that we're finding out about this. This is just a real community. You know there's this six mile circle sandcastle road that goes around the golf course and as a few little streets off it and stuff and that's what we walk and bike and the people there with their dogs and they see us all the time and we see them and if it wasn't kobe we'd be spending more time with them but i'm actually we get that on close. It's really easy access to the causeway. Big advanced and we can get any of the stores restaurants in the area. So it's it's pretty centrally located and if your way down the island toward the west in march you could spend forty five minutes our going from one end of the island on the other imperative winkle just because of the traffic yes and the other thing about this place is really great. Landscaping people put a lot of loan to their their homes and their yard lowery there. She's yeah billy Bushes and they'll be arches over your garage. And i mean it's biscuits.

And i couldn't watch all these golfers looking like they're having so much fun and getting myself but my initial trial was mercifully before took up too much time. I bet you that over fifty percent of the people who live around the golf course are nine. Yes that's probably right.

But that we'd have to really isolate during the colder from the cova. D- wear masks than but i don't think we realized i didn't realize how much i was going to be able to do. And stay away from people who all the biking and we did and the walking we it was just absolutely magical and just sitting on the line. I looking out the alligator place on the golf course. Always so beautiful people going by the alligator under the broccoli tree and i mean it was just amazing so many birds i mean i think a lotta birds flew into that golf course just because the water it was always something to watch in the sky and this little refuge area called pond was very close to us. And we could go there. That's where we saw the baby alligators. Iguana there to harass tons of iguanas tens of birds. But it was amazing to see those little baby alligators that were like not even a foot long so it was. It was just such a wonderful time.

"Would like to talk a little bit about logistics really. When is the best time to swim with the dolphins Right out of binnie and also. When is the best time to swim with the spinner dolphins on the big island. So you can't. It's very difficult to swim with the spinner dolphins. When when we were going years and years ago there were very few people that were there in the bay and you could just swim out and be with them and then what happened. Was a lot of tourists. Started going and busloads. Who'd go and they you'd get in kayaks. They would chase the dolphins in boats would chase them so they passed a law that you can't get within two hundred yards of a dolphin or it's twenty five thousand dollar fine so it's much more prohibitive to be with them In hawaii that said there are a couple of people that do they go out on boats and they call the men. One of whom is joan ocean. Who who. I know from years and years ago in the bay and she is a dolphin. She is in complete alignment with them. So if you ever going to go to hawaii that's who you'd wanna go with. And in many they are actually one of two people who have license to swim with wild dolphins and whales and and so it's legal and as i said they're very respectful of the dolphins and the environment and they do it with such awareness and consciousness. That if you were going to go with anyone to me. I much prefer now than hawaii because hawaii. You've gotta swim out quite a long ways. It's really deep. You can't see what's under there and it can be choppy and windy and in. It's it's gorgeous. Just it's easy. It's easy and the people that i go with at wild quest. They they know the dolphins they have long standing relationships. They have names for all of the dolphins and the dolphins are used to interacting with humans. Because they're so many groups that go there throughout the season and the season generally runs this year. It's a little different because of of what we've been through. Were still getting the details but it'll probably run from may to the end of Tober perhaps and you know that might need a little judgment in the front end on may but normally in a normal season. They're the season runs from april until the end of october and in hawaii. The my favorite times were Mid spring and mid fall the summer just a little too hot and winters a little too cold for me and then of course on bikini the for me. I like to be at the beginning of hurricane season as opposed to the end of hurricane season because hurricanes tend to ramp up towards the end of hurricane season. So you always want to travel insurance when.

Yeah yeah the archaeologist but this this design this sort of like you kind of hardship design is found all over everywhere in crete and and Century any like basically every minoan settlement. That's been found. The you find these horns consecration. Yeah so i mean bulls also were found like i mean not bulls themselves but like evidence of a bulk bolts essentially in that. Like you've probably seen the the frescoes of the bull. Leaper so there's frescoes in knossos as well as dera of people doing this thing that they've termed bull leaping where you'll see the most famous picture of it is. There's these two women on either side of the ball and then there's a guy like jumped like in mid flight jumping over the ball. Guess what. They think he's doing right. This is the interpretation of it that it's a bully thing thing a some people have legitimate. Said like what is happening. Here is literally physically fossil. Nobody's going to be able to hold onto a ball while somebody else leaves over it but yeah so they regardless like there was some bowl stuff going on with the minoan z- obviously At some point santini just blew up. there's an illustration on the bottom of the screen that shows what the island has century. It's reconstruction i mean. Nobody really knows what it looked like before. The volcano blew up. It was thought to be just a one big island with with Volcano in the middle. And then now it's essentially like see with like a couple of other islands around the whole middle of the island is just gone yeah And so the. The volcano just completely blew up and when the minoan civilization was well. It wasn't really a notice. When that mr munoz. I discovered but when they first started finding evidence of the volcanic eruption and so defining teffera and like stuff under. Taft fra Then it wasn't too long after that that people started thinking that will the maybe the minoan were the atlanta here. We have a civilization. They were seafaring people and they were obliterated by natural catastrophe. This must be what plato was talking about. It's close to you. Know greek so they would have been aware of it and fits everything. There's a few problems. I guess with that chronology. At least these days in that the based on you know the pottery evidence and what's been found in theorize theorize being the other name percent trini. There's a city known as secretary so that's a bronze age settlement that they've been excavating on century knee and based on the pottery. They found there And then the pottery they know since they think that the minoan 's kept going on as a civilization for another one hundred or two hundred years after the explosion of of santarinas from was actually finally done in by the snia nhs invading and and taking over. And that's essentially what. The archaeological evidence seems to indicate so it. There's a bit of a problem with the chronology. If archaeologists are correct in that the big catastrophe happened before the end of the civilization. Yeah you know so when when when when the volcano when the idea of of the okina corruption was i was i found out they. They thought that that coincided with the end of the known position. But that's not really the thought anymore..

It just keeps happening. And here is yet another example. Evan Rachel Wood is accusing her former fiance, Marilyn Manson of Abuse. She posted a note on Instagram where she wrote I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission. You mean this guy right here? It looks like this that sings these songs.

Oh, my tip of the days, Even if your loan officer or their current insurance carrier sensual quote, it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion or another quote. Make sure that you're getting the absolute cheapest price When you're You're going through your first purchase. I think that means that you're going to be a smart you're gonna be a smart consumer.

You know, it doesn't hurt to get a second opinion or a second quote just to make sure that What you're getting, um, is the best product and best Price said you can get to your first question. I don't I think it would be smart. You gonna be all come I know, but that's only for the fine thing. You know what else doesn't hurt to have Bradley and his team review what you already have and make sure that you're not underinsured or over insured. That doesn't hurt either. And what's good about it is, um, you know, I recently had a friend, huh? We reviewed his place Homeowners kind of policy.

He got a little tennis bracelet and she worked the call that It broke and it was lost 40 another tennis bracelet, So we did well during a review. We did add it around Christmas time is she's Boston last weekend, so It doesn't hurt to do these reviews and make sure that all the gas for taking care of us because Again.

We Bradley and his team fights for his clients. Yeah. You make sure that they've got the right kind of insurance. Yeah. Just had to get 20 our own badly because he was fighting so hard for us anyway.

E think you have to be out of the swamp argued, actually told the truth, And I like everywhere else. That's better on the sniper. Pretty good eating. I had him years ago. I thought they were delicious. With the first game bird ever killed when I was a kid, and what I really liked about him is that when they get up and you shoot at him and missed, they kind of come right back to the same general location, so they give you another chance. Are kind of birds, but I wish they all did that. Yeah, but they taste a lot like a dove to me. They're you know, they're darker and leaner. And yeah, they're kind of fun. We're during swampy areas. We've got him here. So you don't you don't need to wrap him and bacon either. No, no, However, the recipe that I have today as banking in it and impunity, bacon, green beans and mushrooms. Oh, Very, very simple. You take some boneless, skinless duck breast, slice him in the quarter inch strips. Hopefully you've Brian them. And of course, if you Brian them first, you want to use a little less so He's in a salt and pepper. Chop up some bacon brown it in a skillet. You want to get that bacon flavor in the duck. Leave the bacon grease in there and brown those sliced up duck breast that you season and throw in some cut green beans, mushrooms, a little splash of balsamic vinegar. A little bit of Dijon mustard just for a couple of minutes, and then I like to quarter up some of those delicious January tomatoes thrown in for about a minute, actually have done this with green tomatoes and everywhere works just fine. Not the whole mess with a little crumbled blue cheese, and you've got the duck, bacon, green beans and mushrooms. That's all there is to it. You don't need a recipe. If you do, it's on the website on the Sporting Chef website, but It works with a lot of a case that people are shooting out too. So okay. Hey, listen, I wanted to ask you I was watching one year You're older programs this week you were going to cook some venison sliders. And just to recall your trigger your memory. It's that show where you burn yourself on the air and the crew in the background. We're laughing. I don't. I don't remember. Which time that Woz huh? Anyway, you brought up you know the old myth that searing holds in the juices. Well, you just just address that for 30 seconds. Well, if you watch commercials and you listen to this TV chefs ago, you serious and it seals in the juices and it does it, but it does. It makes the taste better. No seared meat without crest on the outside. We talked about this, whether it's chairman or whatever tastes better, but it doesn't feel in the egg juice is what they did was. They took two pieces. Two identical pieces of meat, cooked one low and slow, brought it to the same internal temperature, the other one they feared. On brought into this same internal temperature in the moisture content and the center. It was exactly the same. It's just that I mean, you could take a seared piece of meat and poke on it. With your pinky and juice will come out. It hasn't created some kind of Impenetrable barrier. It just it is better. The key is Don't overcook. Don't overcook it so on and I thought that it was the deal, pal. Accessible, I thought which is kind of a freshwater bourbon on outdoor channel today. And I think tomorrow on sporting shots were making pokey on the Big island, but I don't Who knows? I could I could be wrong. I forgot all about that burning myself. Thanks. Yeah, I didn't know. Uh, I gotta be home next week to ultimate deal. Thank you, Scott and see it boarding shelf dot com. That's the website. Okay, well, everybody's waiting for the American River to kick in with some big winner Steelhead. You're gonna have to wait a little bit more. I talk yesterday, too, and E g board over Kinney's fly shop. Andy. Everybody's waiting for good news on the American River. Is there any No. Well, nice talking to you know, I know, I know. Um, I mean, there's a Zay said the last time in theirs. There's some fish sneaking through, and some of our customers as well as some of our guys are catching some fish. Most of what are the brighter What seemed like fresher fish are smaller, more No 14 18 20 inch fish. We're still not seeing much of the you know 5 £10, You'll run fish at least bright fish. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know. To be optimistic about it. Aziz, you and I have talked about before There's been times where the best fishing week of the winner has been in February. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Last year was like that February and even March was good. Yeah. Well, maybe we're just into a new trend with these little water years or something because Um You know, big pushes the water will bring steelhead up even before they have to spawn And you know if there's no water, maybe they just wait till the last minute. Yeah, I think so. I think at some point, they finally just have to do it. Yeah, No, come up, regardless of how much water we have. Whether or not to come up in a meeting. You know numbers, you know, we will get a push. I just Don't know what size of a push we're going to get, you know, but there will be a push at some point, you know? Um, so if you were going to go out and fly fish, what would you do? Well, most of the guys that I have been hearing having success has been limping. And interestingly enough, the egg patterns aren't working as well as the new patterns. So mostly guys with success. The Yeah so things like psycho princes, even the rubber, one of the rubber worms. Prince names. Pheasant Tales is well as you were. Caddis pooper patterns seem to be out producing the eggs and have been for the last week or so. You know, you know, don't you think it's because two things. I mean, I'm just thinking out loud. First of all the salmon are all but done spawning up there. Except for maybe a couple real late runs and plus, it just moved up the last few days to which could have created some were aquatic insect activity. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, I agree With that, Um Begin. They are I mean, my friends are talking about saying you're still a fair number of of salmon around in the upper part, basically from sunrise. Up and and that is where most of the reports have been coming from my friends who are fishing further downstream. Still are. You know if they're still working, hard struggling so That's Andy Gibb or King is fly shop kind of making some sense out of it. Wouldn't hesitate. If your fish in the middle section a river where there's nobody around. Um, if any kind of hatches air happening, you're gonna be in shallower water. Don't be afraid to fish in 2 to 3 ft of water. If nobody bothers him, Steelhead will be there so and he's number over Kinney's 9164831222. Um And after the break, we're going to talk to Clyde warns about stripers. Hurried.

It's AH, California roll in a bowl. If you like sushi, you'll love this. But again, the California roll in a bowl like me out, and you know honestly, that that is the one sushi item that even if you don't like sushi, you'll probably like it cause it's just imitation crab rice cucumber like It's very basic, so I put my recipe for it up on the block. You don't actually have to make sushi because that's too much work. And I don't know how to do that. So I just throw it all in a bowl. It sounds like Pokey. I'm gonna be You know what a big pokey kick right now you love it. That one down the street on candy. Big Island Pok. Oh, man. New Favorite place. It's so fresh. They're foods Really fresh. Mm mm. Good plug, Aaron. Good plug, just like I've been in the last couple of days. We've got a while. I'm gonna have told this until a little later, but The most sinful cities in the country is a wallet hub and the least sinful cities. I don't know. This one might not be wallet up. I don't because I'm against that checking on anti hub. Aaron always has to put a standing before you get to it After the way we are sending enough here, especially in ST Petersburg. We're way down the All right. Well, step it up. We'll get around to it here A little later. It's 6 56 on a M Tampa Bay. And here is Rush Limbaugh constituents. Speaking of the events in Washington last week, Pelosi said the world had an epiphany. She said. The world saw there are people in America led by President Trump, who have chosen their whiteness over democracy. Now don't dismiss. This is just political rhetoric from an ancient political hack. Think about what the Democrats have been saying for days. Joe Biden and Kami Harris claimed protesters would have been treated far worse last Wednesday if they were black, even though Democrats cities were torn apart by riots, looting and arson for months, while the Democrat mayors and governors did nothing to stop the carnage by black lives matter. Race card has long been Democrats most potent political weapon. They want the world to believe that everybody who opposes them politically is motivated by racial animus, not because of the lack of integrity and transparency and elections are over sincerely held policy differences. No, Pelosi, Biden and Kami are picking up where Obama left off. Last thing they're interested in his healing this country or promoting unity. They're intent on doing everything they can to keep America divided, especially along racial lines. If you want proof, all you have to do is.

The Amateur Traveler Podcast
Travel to Turkmenistan
"I'd like to welcome back to the show Justin Barnes from Justin and crystal dot com, and just has come to talk to us about Turkmenistan Justin. Welcome back to the show. Thank you. Thanks for having me back and I say welcome back to the show Justin was on episode six, twenty, nine about the Big island of Hawaii. This is a very different destination. We're talking about today. What's your connection with Turkmenistan? We traveled there on a trip to or the stands. There's the five stands Turkmenistan Kazakhstan respect. Extended Kurdistan, and we went to four of them on a trip and Turkmenistan is certainly the most interesting of the bunch in terms of how foreign it was. The misers foreign every since the word will and I was very interested in doing the show because been one time since we've talked about Turkmenistan and because. Before covert hit, we had a amateur traveler trip plan to the stands not to all five to two. I think of them as I recall in two thousand and twenty one which has bumped to two thousand and twenty two, but still planning on taking a group to that region of the world. So should someone go to Turkmenistan all for one thing it has something that I am fairly certain no other country. In the world has which Zeke giant flaming pit in the middle of the desert that looks for one tencent purposes like a volcanic crater but is actually just burning natural gas and you can walk right up to the edge of it. It's about the ultimate across at about one hundred feet deep and that's something you're not gonna see any world's Laurel I think Azerbaijan has some similar geologic features of natural burning. Areas that have been burning for hundreds of years. Well, in addition to that, there's some very interesting Silk Road historical sites, and also some history even older than that going back to partying times in an earlier excellent and the Parthenon's being a contemporaries with an and rivals with the Romans. The recreation of the Persian state after the fall of Persia to Alexander the Great. Excellent will what should one do would enter and where are you going to take us on an itinerary here? So I would recommend or remain sites that can kind of seen in any. Any order. One is the capital Ashgabad, which is in the south central part of the country. nother one is the gas crater, which is more or less than the very center of the country. Kunia organic, which is the north central or the country. And finally merged, which is in the eastern part of the country in the horror which would go to those guys somewhat dictated in where you're coming from and where you're going to afterwards I think for the most are people who be traveling Turkmenistan. If you'RE GONNA, go that way you're not going to be going only to Turkmenistan, and so it's going to be part of a larger trip either balls, other stands and or. Now, we're you doing trip independently or as part of a tour or how did you arrange us? This was part of a tour. I. Think as a practical matter, it is very unlikely that somebody is going to get a visa to stand on their own is hard to get into Turkmenistan insulin less. You're going with a company that does a lot of tour packages there where they take care of getting visa process they donald is across all the ts I think for all intents and purposes it's it's almost impossible to get in unless you with without friends or family member living country. Will and one thing we should bring up just because people are gonNA look at the map and some people are going to say, no right away. Because of its neighbors. Because we just to the south of Turkmenistan Afghanistan in Iran Iran being very stable country right meal although not always one that my country the US is friendly with Afghanistan not necessarily. Being as stable but Turkenistan you've found to be fairly safe an interesting country to travel to. Yes and we went there from Iran and they were quite different but I felt safe in both places for different reasons. Under of the spectrum well in, we'll talk about more about Iran some other day. There's a couple, very fascinating episodes that we've done on. Iran made me want to get there ever since we've talked about it. So took minutes said you start at us in the capital, Yes yes. So Ashgabad new would either fly into or conceivably if you were on a road trip from either northern Iran or from Pakistan might come in. The car by I think most likely would come into the airport, which is very interesting. Airport probably will not see too many if any other airports that look the same with a multi billion dollar airport that looks like eighty giant Falcon or shave your channel self is a Falcon hundreds of feet. We'll be thousands of feet across.

Lockdown in Honolulu
"Don Wallace is on the line from Honolulu. He tells US authorities they're put in a new set of restrictions because of a recent surge in Cova cases on Oahu justice they were hoping they could start reopening. It's crucial tourism industry. Don's a contributing editor at Honolulu magazine and he's updated us on Hawaii tourism in the past and done you're you're out there about twenty five, hundred miles away from anywhere else in the middle of the Pacific. Hawaii depends so much on tourism and I would imagine it's been quite a stressful time with the coronavirus continuing to spread. What's it like in Hawaii right now. Well the whiny started out as soon as thirty thousand tourists stopped coming way did very well on the virus were the lowest in the nation for states. Now we've had a spike starting at the fourth of July and August it began to get up to two hundred cases a day. I know that doesn't sound like much but. you don't have that many hospital facilities. That, we had to do a banning perks, beaches hiking trails and gatherings over ten So is the response and the impact of the corona virus different from different islands. who gets most of it in fact, it's almost miniscule on now big island, the ninety MILICI, those islands, the people can pretty much go cleese they. You wear masks you're allowed to fly into a walk who without according to you. But people who can't find their without of quarantine. What about people in the tourism industry? Are they impatient or they realizing that haste makes waste when it comes to getting over the so they can start making money again. It's a very interesting case people very concerned. There's no voice irresponsibly pushing for white opener light opening deal like Texas, did for instance. And I think that's because the workers sixty seventy percent of the are. No a minimum wage workers they don't have good health plans. They carry the burden of this, and the other part is the Theresa Stop Coming. Can Americans from the mainland fly into Hawaiian vacation if they want to yeah, you can come We get about three thousand a day. And I think the hitch there is you do a fourteen day quarantine and you check into your hotel and you can't leave your hotel room. The impact on tourism would be you're probably wondering around the beaches thinking this is like it was back in the old days. You're very much in nineteen threes, Hawaii. Waikiki is a ghost town. That's not entirely a bad thing We think tasteful Hawaii empty beaches, very clean water clean here you feel like being caress be hanging out with the beach boys. Old School Beach Boys. And if you do go out to dinner, for instance, you may have the restaurant to yourself just one or two people. Magic. So That's interesting. I mean, of course the you've lost the revenue, but you've regained your beaches as far as the locals go there was something in the news and I think you wrote about it about gun toting extremists who are wearing Hawaii shirts. It doesn't seem like the Aloha spirit to me what's Really thought it. Up in the news, there's one of these Gun Group extremists start showing up at the black lives, matter protests and other places. Instead of what they weren't Loescher it's Kinda create a sort of scary dissidence. Then people here reacted really strongly. Ensured is about Aloha Aloha is welcoming. It's inclusive. And it's actually something. I wrote an article about how Hawaiian shirts fight extremism. Hungary magazines. It's a love story about two sisters from Portland. Hawaii's eighteen twenty. Married South Asian immigrants helped create yellow her shirt industry. It's a beautiful beautiful story and it's that Louis Spirit that sort of loved that easygoing nece that caring for others. What a what a dissonance by these? What do they call? Boo Goo Boo Voice Blue Boys. Okay. Well I hope you have to handle and then we can read about that in your article and then very quickly what's open now if you are in Hawaii, museums, clubs, restaurants what's The dishes and Him after limited reopening had to close again. We hooked to get them back up in a couple of weeks neither good their little outdoor cafes and restaurants they've shifted to putting cafe tables out on the sidewalks and even the streets in some cases. So Madonna. Of Lua. And you know, thankfully, why is a very outdoor culture? So eating outdoors is. No big concession. So that lends itself to social distancing done. It's so great to have you on. We'll talk again soon I hope everything goes well with Hawaii and tourism, and your work there done Wallace's a contributing editor at Honolulu magazine. He's written the French house about buying a fixer upper on the island and Brittany and he's written articles about what's going on. In Hawaii these days

Polynesian Explorers
"Thompson has been in examining oral histories the records of Captain Cook and the accomplishments of the Polynesian voyaging society. All to investigate what it can tell us about how we view the world. Today she pieces together the navigation puzzle of sailors and settlers in her book. See People Christina. Welcome thanks for having me. So when when we think of Polynesia talk about how big it is and what it has in common culturally so Polynesia is the area that is inside of this triangle we'll formed by Hawaii in the North New Zealand in the southwest and Easter Island in the southeast. It's an area of about ten million square miles and it smack in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and it happens that all the people who live on the islands in this area which is the island's that people have heard of like Tahiti or saw more or maybe the mark cases they all share a common cultural heritage. They all speak related languages and they have a similar genetic. Ming up no Christina. You say ten million square miles and originally they were not populated by human beings at all so somehow people had to get there and there was no communication. People didn't right. They didn't have metal tools. They didn't have navigational devices that I can imagine. Can you just kind of paint a picture to the best that we can. We're were there caravans of canoes just going out into the unknown C or how did these islands become populated originally well. I think one thing we don't know is how many canoes necessarily sailed together but basically the idea is that you know some thousands of years ago over in what sometimes people call the island nursery Sirri of Southeast Asia in the islands around the Philippines and Indonesia and stuff people developed an outrigger. which is this thing that sticks out from the side of the canoe to keep it balanced to keep it from from tipping over and with the development of the outrigger people started to be able to make some longer distance? Voyages and the canoes the Polynesian sailed in were like Catamaran's they had to halls else and they were stable and they could carry a load of people and animals and so they started making longer and longer voyages. There's some again some thousands of years ago from this western side of the Pacific out further and further and further into the mid Pacific. But it must have been hit or miss because they didn't have maps. They didn't have radar. They didn't know where the islands were if they were islands. Do you think they were just kind of going toward the sunset and hoping to hit land now the sunrise is actually but they obviously looking for islands and the islands are what they call inter visible. You can see one from. I'm the other in the Western Pacific. A lot of them are. There's a big leap when they get past that point and they start to sail out to islands that you can't see so they're probably exploring hiring and looking for them they really were amazing navigators. They weren't sailing blinds. They understood how to go to one place and sail back from that place after. Remember where that place was and things like that. They must have been exploring but we don't really know how they found islands like the end of Hawaii. Which is the islands of Hawaii are very isolated in the North Pacific? How did they find them who knows because we have no written history people? Just build a raft. That was kind of like one of those early outriggers Imagining how they might have done it and just without knowing if they did it prove that they could have done it like those. Expeditions seemed to be part of science right right so the the earliest one was was to Harles kon-tiki raft which he he allowed to drift basically from the coast of South America and ended up in the middle of the Pacific on the tomatoes. And that was an kind of an early experiment in this vain but then in the nineteen seventies in Hawaii some people got together and decided to try and build a true replica vessel so a copy of what they imagined. An ancient Polynesian voyaging canoe would been like and they decided to try and sale it from Hawaii to Tahiti and back again and that was the beginning of what what is really kind of an experimental voyaging movement in Hawaii. And what was that expedition called. The ship was called Hokule'a it Okla has made an around the world voyage now but that was in two thousand sixteen I guess but between Nineteen Seventy in two thousand sixteen they have made voyages absolutely everywhere. They sailed to to Easter to New Zealand. All around the Pacific to the point is to prove that it could be done yet to show the voyaging capacity of the Polynesians basically to show that non instrumental. Navigation vacation is really a thing and that people can go very long distances using it. You know that it's a real technique. You said they sailed it. Is it drifting with the wind and the tides is it with a sale or is it paddling they have a sale. They have a steering paddle but they sail. What were the very first contact with European society like in the Polynesian World? Some of them were violent. Some of them were not. We don't have any idea what the markes ins thought of men Donya when he arrived Zeppelin we know record of it and what I mean. There's the record of the Spanish but we don't really know for sure what archaisms thought There was a little bit of that I think. In some cases there it was all in some cases there was fear in some cases. There was something that you might call. Greed greed Westerners. No on the part of the I mean I. I think that a lot of islanders actually looked at these ships once they realized kind of what was going on and who these people were they actually wanted the ships. There are definitely stories of ambushes. Did they have some kind of A religious context again in the case of the conquistadors from Spain I mean in their religion I understand. It was on this certain year. A man on a horse you know was going to come and on that certain year the man on the horse with the beard came just like their scripture said and they disfigured this must be divided and they laid down their weapons and was there any kind of dimension of that local cultural religion with the arrival of the first Europeans pins or was it the opposite The story of Cook's arrival in Hawaii is kind of like that story that he arrived during a festival in he seemed to be the embodiment of the deity. Who was being celebrated in the Festival because switches to happen that he arrived at that time? I think that that added to the confusion of cooks experience. AGREEANCE cook was killed in Hawaii. That was where he died. And it was not long after this encounter during this festival period and I think it added to sort of chaos and confusion that he had Iraq during that a period. This is travel with. Rick Steves talking with Christina Thompson. Her book is see people the Puzzle of Polynesia and we're talking about early explorers of the Pacific both before the Europeans arrived and after so captain cook arrived and they thought. Oh It's a festival in here comes God and then things went sour and they killed killed them. Tell us a little more about that. So what happened. Is that Cook. He went up north to Alaska and then or the Northwest Pacific and then he came down and when he came down he was looking for a place to rest his crew and he sort of hit the island of Maui and then he went east so he sailed all the way around the big island before he found a place to come to rest his crew and that meant that he was sailing in his ship all the way slowly because against the wind all the way around the big island for quite a while and so when he arrived the legend of Lono the God that he sort of seemed to be representing was that Leno passed around the island in the same. I'm way he was represented as carrying a staff with White Tapa cloth on it which is sort of like the the ship to mass in their sales so just a lot of things lined up kind of strangely initially and then what happened was he. They went through all this festival these festivals and celebrations and then Cook sailed away and that should have been the end of it he should have just sailed away that would be fine but his mast broke just offshore and he had to return and when he returned he wasn't supposed to return according to the legends. He wasn't supposed to come back until the next year. So people were confused by that and then there was an altercation. He died in the clash not long after he returned.
How I Built This
Live From The HIBT Summit: Kevin Systrom & Mike Krieger Of Instagram
"It's guy here so today we're releasing another live interview from this year's how I built this summit which happened this past Stober in San Francisco and this one's my conversation with Kevin System and Mike Krieger. The CO founders of instagram. And if you haven't heard their original podcast episode you should definitely go back and give it a listen in that episode. They talk about the stumbled on the idea of using filters for photo sharing and how in just two years. There's they got nearly thirty million dollars and then sold to facebook for a billion dollars. They spent six more years there and then both of them stepped down twenty eighteen and so when we sat down together at the summit peers the question I was thinking of after you launch one of the most successful APPs in the world. What do you do next first? Let's talk about the last year. It's been about a year since you left as it been a little bit weird because you had a staff in this team and his company when you were coming into work every day and then. There's a day where you don't do that. Yeah I think the first readjustment is all of a sudden like you do have a weight off your shoulders because the site is in down. There isn't a decision to be made every single second and you're able to sort of step back and reflect but what you touched on is really true as well which is one you missed the people you work with right like. That's the thing that is really notable as well but also your leverage is totally gone so if we have an idea now or we want to get something done like go and do and by ourselves which is also an exciting like hands on kind of moment as well. But that's I think the most notable sort of Oh okay now we're now in different place. Now Yeah I think if you look at the companies that have been around now for a while in Silicon Valley you run it and and there are people running it and you look around and like there's the system on that supports everything. It just goes every day. You've got your your monthly check INS. You've got your weekly staff meetings and you just know what your schedule is going to be. And everything has this enormous momentum or a nurse. I don't know which one is. which but you know what I mean Scott and and then you get out of it and you realize that life no longer has that inertia or that momentum will look this up later and but would you would you realize oh my God I have to be a beginner again? And that's thrilling. It can be scary depending on like your personality type it can be either either terrifying or it can be thrilling. And I decided I was going to learn to fly. That was going to be my thing when I left work I just I wanted to take a a few months which it turns out is not enough time to learn to fly. I did it though we can get into that so I took a few months and I said I wanted to learn to fly and I was so frustrated by the fact that I like sucked like I just sucked. It's like an work. I knew exactly what I needed to do. And I I mean it's not that I was great at it all all the time but like I knew what to do but when you do something new for the first time you're like wait. I have to like read a book and I have to go through all this and it's it's it was thrilling to know that life is going to be full of a lot of these chapters. If we do it right there's GonNa be a beginner over and over and over again and what's great is if you're a beginner and you have a partner while you're a beginner because then when you make a mistake someone can pick you up from. NBC Like Yeah. That was a mistake. But let's keep going. You know I remember you. Telling among the sort of the origin story of instagram started his bourbon as a check in APP. And then I think an in your girlfriend then wife was. You know you're on vacation occasion. And he took the photo and then this sort of light bulb moment where you guys that. Well maybe this is the thing it should be and you built it into this huge platform and and and your identities are so wrapped into it. Right we've had stories of the show where founders have sold their companies or David. David Neal was pushed out of jet blue. He was here earlier today. it's hard. I mean even if you're paid well and you get the payout. It's it's a thing. Thank you mate. It's yours is a part of it part of that hard. I thought about this a ton and like say like the year before our departure. Sure you start thinking about. I tell the very openly like every year you know I would sit down on like sort of recommit to instagram and so am I still. Learning is still exciting. I still feel like I can have impact Or is it time for the next chapter and the question. I would often get from friends that would be like. Aren't you worried like you're not going to be important after instagram. Like in so many awards but basically asking that question and you realize a couple of things one is the legacy lives on and like the fact that I get to use the product and people still come up to me and are like oh you built. This Is Awesome and I realized I had gotten attached to being co founder and CTO and always get to be co founder and that feels really good starting conversations and having people be excited about something that we he built. So I think that the identity feels solid and the other part. is you kind of realize like who's excited to spend time with you for what you've built in what you're interested in and the people who who just wanted to get verified or whatever they're like never had last fees disappointed. Judging from my answer. I'm direct box. People have not gotten the message that we've left but you know it's a transition moment was actually like a you're jumping off the cliff's edge and you're trusting that like there's something on the other side that will I feel really good but I was also kind of scared like wake you up and everyone's like. Oh yeah you're like you're not important anymore. He's out there Kevin. You're quota at the time last year you said you you don't leave a job because everything is awesome right. And I'm I'm curious. Why why did you leave? Because you know you don't leave everything's awesome. Sorry I'm just I'm reflecting on that line okay. So a couple a couple of things one is we sold the company in two thousand twelve. Yep and everyone thought that we were done like I remember seeing people on the street and they were like what are you up to now. I was like running instagram. They're like why you sold the company. I was like. Yeah but like we really love it. Here's what most people don't realize. Once you sell a company Anthony like if you still love it you still want to run it so it was six years of grinding to get this thing off the ground you know we sold and was how many million users may thirty or forty million users and we got it to you over a billion yeah. It took lots of time and that is like so. I was just in Hawaii the other day. I guess what you do when you don't have a job but I'm I'm standing there on the side of the road. It was on the Big Island and I'm watching. The ironman happened and these throngs of people are coming by on their bikes in their wet suits and everything and their speedy bikes and they have to bike. I don't even know how many miles I think it's like over one hundred miles. Then they have to do a marathon and then they have to do a swim or I guess it's swim bike. Run so you have to order wrong. But Ah that's what instagram's like but in business and you get to the end of the proverbial and and you say to yourself. Wow we've been through a lot but do I want to go more. No like I'm done. I just did a marathon and I just did one hundred whatever miles. That's why I think we ended up leaving because you want a little break in recovery time and then my south is such that. I'm excited about doing something new. Like I'm just like I'm always on into some new idea and I don't know probably won't be as big as instagram. But it'll be just as exciting to me and that's why you end up leaving. Not just because of the bad that stuff but because it's really hard and you need this regeneration time to do something. There was a really interesting quote in wired about the two of you. Basically said social media properties can be like nightclubs there cool while the cool people are there and they disappear without leaving a trace. Kevin and Mike are Smart enough and cool enough to know. You should never be the last person to leave the party now. Essentially with this article was saying that you sort of saw saw the social media landscape and maybe you thought you know. This isn't really what we signed up for. Is there any truth to that. That was not a big factor for me like I think in fact like it was weighing on me in the opposite direction like I remember when like early last year are so before we really thinking seriously about leaving. I sat down with some folks. And they're like I hope you stay for a long time because I can tell you really care about kindness really care about building a positive network and we really need that so please stay. Which added this whole guilt factor for me for the next like a few months? We started thinking about leaving so I saw it less like you know the tightest changing changing. Therefore it's time for us to leave and in fact it was like the other side like oh like maybe not to sound conceited but maybe this is one we could be most needed. That was definitely a the fact that I weighed when thinking about the

Why Are Macadamia Nuts So Expensive?
"First things first macadamia nuts are not actually ups. Yes I know it's ridiculous. It's right there in the main for goodness sake but much like Brazil L.. Nuts again what is it with. These misleading names. The Macadamia is in fact a seed and although they've become a signature staple of Hawaiian Agriculture Macadamia. His are actually native to Australia. We spoke with Glen Soko an economic development specialist with the Hawaii County Department of Research and development he explained leaned Macadamia. Nuts are originally from Australia but much of the early research breeding work quality development were done by the University of Hawaii on the island of Hawaii. These cultivars are suited for the Hawaii. Climate and do not produce the same high quality nut when grown in foreign conditions cultivars is short for cultivated varieties and these are specific types of plants selected and cultivated by humans. In this case. The plant is a large bushy tree that starts producing macadamia nuts spy the time. It's about four or five years old. So how exactly did these Australia cultivars and up in Hawaii for that you can think. One William Purvis office. Who planted the first Macadamia tree on the Big Island in eighteen? Eighty one purpose didn't initially intend for the tree seeds to be a hit. He planted the trees as wind breaks as for the sugar cane fields. The plants were functional and also happens to be quite pretty but he didn't suspect they could bear such delectable and profitable. See it's about a decade later. One are Jordan planted some macadamia trees on Oahu. The trees that researchers think is the ancestor most of Hawaii's trees and the not quickly became a popular snack among businessmen who came to Hawaii to profit off of sugar plantations in the early nineteen hundreds. The Hawaiian Agricultural Experiment Station was established published to get new crops growing on islands since this newly established United States territory was relying almost exclusively on sugar following the collapse of the coffee market. In the nineteen twenties. The government offered a five year tax exemption on land that was used solely for Macadamia production. But most farmers were interested. That is until roasted it. BECA Damian that's started popping up in stores and consumers went wild demand finance went up and the number of trees planted for nut production more than doubled from nineteen eighteen thirty two to nineteen thirty. Eight sales slumped a bit after that. But by the Nineteen Fifties Hawaii was turning out macadamia goodies to stack fans throughout the world and major companies. Ladies were making a pretty penny off of them speaking of why are Macadamia so expensive while Macadamia is clearly have an interesting past. And they've tastes taste heavenly coated in thick layers of chocolate. Do they really merit they're often exorbitant price tag after all around twenty five dollars a pound. They're considered the most expensive have nuts in the world. So what's the deal. A bunch of factors go into the price but a lot of them. Come down to the fact that Macadamia can't be grown effectively. On the continental dental United States and shipping them in from Hawaii is costly and growing things in Hawaii is costly to begin with because it's a small archipelago that some three thousand miles title. That's nearly five thousand kilometers away from anything in two thousand. Eighteen Macadamia has made the news for a seventeen percent price. Increase which sacco attributed to Hawaii's fixed harvest acreage and a higher global demand. Furthermore Issaquah said it takes seven years for a Macadamia nut tree to produce a crop. Demand remains high and prices are up to a dollar twenty per pound despite this. There's tremendous pressure on the industry. The agricultural labor shortage continues and that's caused wages and benefit costs to increase invasive. Pests continue to affect the Orchard Health and production. The Hawaii land prices are so high. Hi Orchard Expansion is too costly and producers can't wait for seven years therefore the production acreage remained steady despite the increased demand for the nuts. Okay so that explains the cost but are they actually good for you. High fat foods used to be the most demonized of all kitchen staples basically because of a very effective and sort of insidious marketing campaign put out by the sugar industry but thanks to current research and slightly Leila systemic marketing hype such things as nuts oils and seeds are getting their due as healthy options. We also spoke with registered Dietitian than yell. Birger she said Macadamia nuts are high in monounsaturated fats. Low in net carbohydrates and a good source of copper manganese and thion monounsaturated unsaturated fatty acids have been shown to lower. LDL cholesterol levels. The bad kind especially when they're used in place of saturated fats and refined carbohydrates in one's diet it net carbs are important. Consider because it clues you in on how much fiber something contains in relation to the amount of total carbohydrates present. Having we're fiber is crucial to gut health copper assists with iron absorption and transport in the body while manganese and vitamin are central for carbohydrate metabolism.

So at two hundred and three calories and twenty one grams of fat per serving a single serving being just ten to twelve nut kernels. and that's just nuts. Nuts dust chocolate are macadamia is really a wholesome snack. Birger said Ed.
