Hey there!
Welcome to Life Noggin.
Space exploration has taught us a lot about the stars, our universe, and even our own
planet.
But what if space could make you rich?
There are some elements up in space that are very valuable here on Earth.
Many are found inside asteroids and could be worth billions or trillions of dollars
if we could mine them.
The most expensive are platinum-group metals, which are rare on Earth but necessary for
high-tech devices and electronics.
Scientists think that some asteroids contain more platinum-group metals than are in all
the Earth's reserves.
One asteroid that passed us in 2015 likely contained 90 million metric tons of these
metals… worth up to 5 trillion dollars.
You can also find iron, nickel, and cobalt in certain asteroids.
But the most valuable item might be water.
It's really expensive to ship water up to space — just 16 ounces costs a whopping
2500 dollars.
If there was a reliable source up above the stratosphere, it would have a lot of uses.
Water is necessary for the cooling systems on the International Space Station, and it
could potentially be used as a radiation shield for astronauts.
But the most lucrative use is to split it into hydrogen and oxygen… the basic elements
of rocket fuel.
This would essentially turn a water-filled asteroid into a space gas station, allowing
vehicles to refuel and venture farther away.
Another potential source of water is our neighbor, the moon.
And the moon has other valuable elements as well.
It contains Helium 3, which is extremely rare on Earth but could potentially be used in
nuclear fusion reactors, if we can get fusion to work on our planet.
The total value of the moon's resources has been estimated at between 150 and 500
QUADRILLION dollars.
Yep, QUADRILLION.
Although space mining isn't easy, it's definitely possible, and several companies
are currently working out how to do it.
An asteroid's gravity is too weak to hold down a spacecraft, so the goal is to dock
with it like a vehicle docks with the Space Station.
The real challenge is to figure out which asteroids are worth going to.
There are roughly 1500 candidates nearby, but they can be faint and hard to detect from
Earth.
Infrared technology helps tell us what's them, but it's difficult to know if the
readings are accurate.
Also, even though an asteroid's gravity isn't strong, it can still mess with spacecraft.
Unlike the round moon, asteroids have irregular shapes, making their gravitational pull vary
depending on where you are.
Getting around these "humps" will take some work.
Still, at least one company thinks that they will be extracting water from asteroids by
about 2027.
And NASA's Resource Prospector mission wants to be the first to mine the moon, with the
hopes of launching a craft in the early 2020s.
Whether or not they're successful, there's still money to be made indirectly from space.
Many of the technologies developed for space programs have had other uses in our daily
lives.
NASA's advancements have led to smartphone cameras, memory foam, MRI and CAT scans, and
even a key ingredient in infant formula.
So if you want to make money off space exploration, maybe the easiest way is to just stay here
on Earth.
Do you think we should mine in space?
Is it worth it?
Let me know in the comments below.

Alright boys,
Listen up, cause I'm gonna to say this once
I want a good clean battle.
I want no sand-bagging
no brake checking
I want you to drive as fast as you can
and get as close to each other
and the walls

We're looking for proximity out there gentlemen
and speed.
Now,
get out there and make a bloody good video.

Avalanche - The White Death - Duration: 53:30.
Some call it the "White Death"
and an ancient riddle asks, what flies without wings,
strikes without hands and sees without eyes?
Every year more than a million avalanches fall world wide.
Avalanches are simply part of our planet's natural order.
It is only when we get in their way that tragedy strikes.
Utilizing unique methods, we continue our quest
to better understand the dynamic power of raging snow.
But the magic of the mountains lures us...
more and more place themselves in harm's way.
My machine just moved over me and everything just started moving
and I just yelled. I just screamed "Help me God.
My whole life's flashing in front of my eyes.
You go to inhale and you were just inhaling a mouthful of snow.
I was sure I was gonna die.
They're not to be trusted. They're awesome terrible things.
They'll rip you to shreds. They'll Maytag ya.
Something we need to learn something about.
one of the most dangerous mountains in the world.
October 15, 1997.
Brothers Jose Antonio and Jesus Martinez Novas,
veteran mountain climbers from Spain
plan to ascend over 26,000 feet to the summit.
Cameraman Allejandro Rocha
is to record their departure from Camp 2
and then await their return.
Recent storms have left deep snow on the mountain side.
It is slow going as the brothers set off to establish Camp Three
some 3000 feet higher on the peak.
An hour after they begin to climb
they are just two tiny dots on the face of the mountain...
as Allejandro shoots video from the tent.
As he faces death.
Allejandro captures a final self portrait.
But just as it reaches the tent, the avalanche is spent.
Allejandro is astonished to find himself alive,
but has little hope for his friends.
Are you alright?
Like specters they emerge from the white eager to tell their tale.
The following day the weather got worse
and they were driven off Annapurna.
Some 20 percent of the Earth's land mass is crowned by mountains.
In the Andes, the Caucasus, the Himalaya,
the Alps and the Rockies avalanches exert their terrible power.
100,000 fall every year in the United States
from Vermont to Alaska.
And here deep in the back country of Alaska...
Three experts are seeking to photograph the perfect avalanche.
With cinematographer Steve roschel,
world reknowned avalanche experts Doug Fesler and Jill Fredston,
are here both to trigger the snow slide
and ensure the safety of roschel's film crew.
I realize the power of the avalanche and I try to capture that on film.
I mean it really rouses people.
It stirs in all of us something. I don't know, primeval.
It's very interesting.
But to get those images,
I must go down into these dangerous zones
where the avalanche is going to come down
and if I make a mistake, if I'm wrong, it'll cost me my life.
So being with people like Doug and Jill
who are experts and know snow safety to a T.
That's what their main objective is
to make sure that I don't get killed.
I'm aware of the lighting conditions that he wants.
And I'm aware of the kind of avalanche he'd like to have.
But sometimes I feel like I have to do a little reality check.
Because there's exposure from crevasse fields
that are in the run out zone, that people could fall down
and have avalanche potential if they're on adjoining slopes.
And so those are the things that I'm looking at.
First and foremost I want to make it a safe spot.
Can we go along this ridge to this little peak
where that cornice is just go right along so I can look out.
This is a good spot isn't it Doug?
Well it's good so far up there.
This kind of concerns me all those seracs up above
as far as landing down there.
We'll have to take a look at that.
This is the peak right here. That should rip out Doug.
I believe it will rip out. Doesn't that look good to you?
I don't like it because of the crevasses.
And some of the exposure to some of these chunks of ice
up here coming off.
I don't think it's safe.
It takes several hours to find the spot that satisfies everyone.
It looks like we could drop charges right down
in that little pocket there where the cornice is.
Doesn't that look good to you?
Yeah.
Lower 'em in there like it's my unborn son.
One camera is positioned inside a padded steel crash box
which is placed directly in the path of the avalanche.
Timing is everything in this mission.
The camera must begin shooting when the avalanche is triggered
or it will all be for nothing.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine.
Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen. Fifteen.
O!
On your mark get set and go!
Steve positions himself behind a second camera at a safe distance.
Second one out.
Okay keep going... keep going.
Several sticks of high explosives
will be used to trigger the avalanche
Most avalanches are naturally triggered,
when the weight of the snow excedes its ability to hold together.
And most of these occur far from human eyes.
I think the usefulness of seeing avalanches in motion
is that a lot of the people that we deal
with in our avalanche workshops
have never seen an avalanche in motion before.
But when they see this thing in motion
and they see the power that's associated
with an avalanche it's a wake up alarm
Like the snowflakes they are composed of
no two avalanches are alike.
Even very small avalanches can kill,
and the big ones are true monsters.
They can attain speeds of over 200 miles per hour...
traveling a mile or more on level ground.
No place in avalanche country is entirely safe.
In 1988 the Austrian town of St. Anton
which had not experienced an avalanche in over 60 years,
was struck just after dawn.
Houses which had stood for almost 400 years
were destroyed in an instant.
Remote areas in less developed countries are the hardest hit.
The greatest known avalanche disaster took place in Peru
where an ice slide decimated the town of Yungay,
killing 18,000 people.
They're awesome terrible things. They'll rip you to shreds.
They'll Maytag you.
But they're also beautiful to watch,
they're delicate,
they're graceful, they dance.
They're a double edged sword in that sense.
They're not to be trusted.
Something we need to learn something about.
In the western world most avalanche victims place themselves
in the path of danger,
and see the mountains as a playground beautiful and benign.
The interesting thing about avalanche accidents is that
most of them happen on nice blue sky days.
It's also very interesting to me
that roughly 95% of the people who are caught in avalanches
are the ones who triggered the avalanche.
And really the question isn't really why is so and so getting caught,
it's why did they let themselves get caught,
because there's so much knowledge available today that nobody,
nobody needs to get caught in an avalanche by accident.
The trap is set over a period of time.
One snow flake is light as a feather.
But the stealthy accumulation of trillions can
form massive layers weighing millions of pounds.
What triggers slides can only be discovered
by digging into the snow pack.
Doug Fesler introduces a group of students
to the deadly archeology of a slab avalanche.
What kind of force is it gonna take to rip it out?
That's all I really need to know.
First of all do I have a slab?
I'll start feeling here and I feel resistance as I pull down.
It goes fairly hard to begin
with now it's starting to go going a little easier.
A little more resistance again.
Right here a little bit easier.
Right through here is a crust layer.
Now it's very easy right in there.
Another shear plane possibly.
This is a nasty shear plane.
Look how this stuff just falls out of here.
Shear planes allow colossal avalanches to be set off
by the slightest disturbance.
We're corroborating the opinion we have about the hardness
and weakness of these various layers.
This stuff is so weak it... just falls out.
Intermediate faceted snow. The sugar snow.
More people have probably died in the world as a result
of this weak layer than any other weak layer there is.
These snow crystals can be more dangerous than dynamite.
Fluctuations in temperature cause some crystals
to lose cohesion and become slippery.
These frozen ball bearings allow everything above to slide.
Notice I have my hand ready just in case.
Okay now we have a free standing column.
Want to make sure the ski is nice and vertical.
See how that came out just like it's spring loaded?
By integrating all that information together
there should be a picture flashing in front of your mind.
And the picture is one of the serious instability that exists
from a human triggered point of view.
And so the message there is to stay away
from steep leeward smooth slopes
because those are the ones that are waiting to eat you.
What I want you to do is on the count of three.
I want you to go. One. Two. Three.
Up in the air punch your heels in real hard. Ready Banzai warriors?
One two three. Banzai!
An avalanche on the move is a dynamic event,
a slab will rip out new slabs,
transforming, becoming ever larger,
and triggering billowing clouds of powder.
Fortunately, nature can warn of avalanches
with subtle sights and sounds.
But if you're hard blasting a 130 horsepower vehicle
at 85 miles per hour,
it's unlikely that you'll hear or see any of nature's warnings.
Snowmobiles can swiftly invade the heart of avalanche country.
Riders enjoy jetting up a steep incline as high as they can,
unwittingly teasing a potential avalanche.
The game is called "high marking."
Whoever gets the highest wins.
These snowmobilers almost lost it all one morning near ellogg, Idaho
A friend videotaped the action as a wall of snow came plunging down.
They would all escape unharmed
and spend the rest of the afternoon tempting fate on other slopes.
But in January 1998,
three friends exhilerated by a crisp clear day outside of Bend,
Oregon were not so lucky.
It was all virgin snow.
Everything was smooth and just real billowy and soft looking.
And being the first one to make the tracks is kind of a thrill.
That's where you really get your adrenaline going
and just let the throttle do what you can with the machine.
And we could get twenty or thirty miles away
from anything and see country
see a lot of country in a day that was nobody else was around.
The snow just looked like a big a big pillow
it was just smooth and soft looking.
When you got on it it would kind of fall apart beneath you
because there was nothing holding it from below.
Both Art and I looked at this big clearing off to the right of us.
Art took a couple of stabs at
and I watched him go up the mountain or go up the slope.
He must have gone up I don't know,
I'm guessing six seven eight times.
He came down and I decided to go up and I got up on top and I got stuck.
At that point in time I was pretty much stuck like this.
So I got off the low side of my sled and pulled down on my front ski.
My machine just moved over me and everything just started moving.
I was almost to the bottom getting ready to turn around and go back up.
I just got a big push from behind and snow dust everywhere.
And when the dust had gone down enough I turned around.
The snowmobile was buried to the seat
and my legs were buried right along with it.
And I turned around
and I could see the ski of Brian's snowmobile, but no Brian.
Buried alive, Brian has little more than 30 minutes to live.
And when everything came to a stop it just turned real dark.
My eyes couldn't focus on anything.
And I went into a very frantic time frame.
After trying to get control of the situation and just calm down,
I tried to move anything and everything I possibly could.
I tried to move a finger in my glove inside my glove
and I couldn't even do that.
And I ran up to where his snowmobile was
and looked around but I didn't see any sign of him.
It's about the most helpless feeling you can have.
You know that there's somebody that needs help
and you don't have any idea where they are.
The snow was compressed to my chin like this
I... I could move...
I felt my cheeks moving and my eye, my eyelids.
I could only move my stomach inward. I just screamed.
And after I calmed down
I just remember saying "help me God."
And we kinda started digging just with our hands within just a minute
we realized that that wasn't getting us anywhere.
We could only dig maybe a foot or two deep.
It was just gonna take too long.
So then I figured out that I thought we needed a probe.
And I asked Mark if he had anything and all he had was a saw.
So Mark took off with his saw to
find a stick or tree or something that we could use.
When you try to search for something you can move other
then your lips and your eyelid you just surrender.
I just remember surrendering.
And I just kind of went to sleep.
I didn't know what else to do.
We were probing close to the snowmobile
and started working up the hill,
and probably within 10 probes I hit something that felt...
it had some elasticity, it wasn't, it didn't feel solid.
And I told Mark I think I have him.
Brian was seconds from dying of asphyxiation
not just from the lack of air
but from the extreme pressure on his chest
Barely a few feet down, he might as well have been cast in concrete.
They reached him just in time
and learned a lesson they are eager to share.
In retrospect there were some signs.
And had we been as educated then as we are now
about avalanches we probably would have recognized them...
But the basic bottom line I think
is just common sense and the awareness.
Being snow smart out there carrying shovels and probes
and beepers is a big factor.
I would like to see the people that are gonna go in the back
country get some basic survival gear and some basic survival knowledge
and just try and be prepared for some of the events that can happen.
Such events have been happening for thousands of years
and no one has experienced a longer
or more grievous struggle with the avalanche
than the stalwart people of the Alps.
In the Great Saint Bernard Pass sits a hospice founded
in the 11th century to aid and protect weary travelers.
Today the hospice still welcomes those
who come to visit the ancestral home of the legendary Saint Bernard.
In earlier times, both the monks and their dogs
quickly responded to travelers in distress.
With their keen sense of smell and massive strength,
nothing could stop the noble Saint Bernard
from locating avalanche victims.
During the several centuries
that the Saint Bernards served at the hospice
more than 2000 lives were saved.
But the legendary brandy keg
never actually hung around the Saint Bernard's neck.
The tradition originated with 19th century English painters
beginning with Sir Edwin Landseer.
The last thing a hypothermia victim needs is brandy.
In World War I,
the Alps saw a more sinister response
to the danger of the avalanche.
When Austrian and Italian armies met here,
each side deliberately triggered deadly snow slides upon the other.
An estimated 40,000 men were lost in this lethal use of nature.
Avalanches are intentionally triggered today...
but for an entirely different reason.
Fire in the hole!
Artillery and explosives are used in preemptive strikes,
releasing potential avalanches,
preparing the mountains for another kind of invasion
Each morning before skiers hit the slopes
the ski patrol hits them first, to make them safe.
But for some a tamed mountain is not a sufficient challenge.
Extreme skiers seek remote places where the powder is fresh and alive.
In 1996, three of them were shooting
an adventure film that almost ended in disaster.
Miraculously, they all survived.
Others filming the glory of unbounded snow sports
have pushed the margin of safety a little too far...
These experts escaped with their lives
but near ski resorts,
those caught in unsafe areas can find themselves
in trouble with the law.
Here in Loveland Colorado,
instead of going to jail
this avalanche offender chose to be buried alive.
I'm kinda scared right now actually to tell you the truth.
Buried beneath the snow for up to half an hour,
he'll have plenty of time to identify with avalanche victims
And retrieving him is great training for the dogs.
Angel search. That's good.
Easily the furriest and friendliest part of any rescue effort,
rescue dogs often arrive too late to save lives
and end up being used to recover bodies
Humans on the scene are usually the only ones who can help in time.
Therefore avalanche safety schools across the country teach
as many as possible the techniques of rapid rescue.
Avalanche "victims" are taught various
means of escape and survival,
such as using swimming motions to stay on top of the slide
and creating a breathing space with their hands before the snow hardens.
Radio beacons are a modern aid to fast rescue.
A transmitter worn by a victim emits a signal that others can home in on.
But the best defense remains avoiding the avalanche altogether.
The danger is well known.
Warnings abound but sometimes they are discounted or ignored.
On January 23, 1998,
a French Alpine guide broke all the rules
as he led a group of teenage hikers and their teachers
off of marked trails near Les Orres in the Alps.
None of them were wearing beacons.
Some of the children slammed
into a grove of larch trees they had just walked through.
Their bodies caught in branches and wrapped around trunks.
More than 150 rescuers combed the scene
in a heart breaking search for survivors.
Yet it could have so easily been avoided.
The group had discussed avalanches
and had even watched a video illustrating the risks.
But when some of the children questioned the wisdom
of hiking that day, they were ignored.
The accident gripped the heart of the nation.
Eleven died, nine of them school children.
It was the worst avalanche disaster to hit France in almost 30 years.
89 years ago in the Cascade Mountains of Washington,
disaster struck travelers who had never expected to even touch snow.
Number 25, a Great Northern Railroad passenger train
is followed by Number 27,
Great Northern's fast mail train.
Heavy winter storms trigger avalanches
causing both to stop just before the Cascade Tunnel.
On the following day
the tracks are finally cleared
and both trains slowly steam through.
The trains are diverted to a side track
outside the railroad town of Wellington.
There they remain helpless.
Crews work to clear the tracks
but for each foot they clear another falls
and the peaks above are a looming white wall.
Without warning an avalanche crashes down
from the mountains destroying the cook shack
where passengers had eaten the night before.
The tracks ahead and the tracks behind are now completely blocked.
There is nowhere to go.
Five days pass.
Some passengers slog to Wellington for food and comfort,
returning to the train to sleep.
A few risk the perilous trek to the next town.
Everyone else remains.
Then on March 1 st around 1:30 am
the white death falls hard from the mountain.
A slab a half mile long,
and twenty feet deep surges over the tracks
Rescue workers follow trails of blood in the snow to unearth bodies
Mothers, daughters, salesmen, sons, lawyers, ranchers,
shepherds and miners crushed beyond recognition in the frozen deluge.
The final toll is 96 dead, with 22 survivors
This remains America's worst avalanche disaster.
In Europe, the threat of such tragedies has hovered over
Alpine residents for centuries.
Some homeowners fearing what their ancestors
called the "avalanche beast"
have built barrier walls for protection.
A 17 th century church meets the avalanche head on,
like a ship plowing through a sea of snow.
One of the best protections is the natural one.
Dense forests of trees can prevent some avalanches
and slow others down.
Yet years of mindless deforestation
have left some towns hanging precariously
on the edge of disaster.
Today as the slow process of reforestation continues,
steel and concrete barriers do the work of trees.
Although unsightly and expensive, they offer some protection.
While the search for better methods continues.
With their dense population and mountainous landscape,
the islands of Japan are a prime target for avalanche tragedy.
A devastating slide hit near Niigata, in 1986.
It was one of the worst avalanches to hit Japan since World War I I.
This disastrous slide would provid crucial data
for scientists in Japan.
Prompting Dr. Ouichi Nishimura
of the Institute of Low Temperature Science
at Hokkaido University to begin his research on avalanches.
A computer model shows just how the tragic slide progressed.
Here in Sapporo at the sight of the 1972 Olympics,
he recreates an avalanche on a small scale
to increase his understanding of the internal flow of snow.
Tracking individual particles of snow
as they behave in an avalanche is all but impossible.
Nishimura's inspired substitute over 300,000 ping pong balls!
The behavior of the balls will be fed into a computer
to learn more about how hard,
how far and how fast an avalanche will run.
Dr. Nishimura hopes to better predict
how and where it is safe to build.
In Juneau, Alaska, that lesson has still to be learned.
As the city has expanded into several avalanche paths,
Juneau is a disaster waiting to happen
Just past 5 am on March 22, 1962
above Behrends Ave in the Highland district...
a fast moving avalanche raced down Mt. Juneau
and smashed into the neighborhood below.
Miraculously no one was hurt.
But there was an immediate public outcry.
Yet none of this should have come as a surprise.
Avalanches had fallen in the past
and Behrends Ave lies directly in their path.
Studies were commissioned.
Plans were made, but nothing happened.
Mayor Dennis Egan remembers...
The city and borough of Juneau has spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars doing avalanche research,
doing studies.
In fact what we did was list high hazard areas right on the maps
so when folks see those
and go out to purchase a home from someone else
and come into our Planning Department,
they'll know that they'll be buying a piece of property
that's in a high hazard area.
Now we tried to put language
in the deeds that when the property was sold
and was refinanced through lending institutions
that they were in a high hazard area.
But the property owners were violently
opposed to it as well as the financial institutions
and it didn't pass.
In fact, we had talked about a program to buy the properties back
and the folks were violently opposed to that as well.
It's the place they want to stay,
it's the place they want to retire
and they don't want anybody telling them what to do.
They know they're in a hazardous zone
but they've come to accept it.
This summer I started in July and I've now built this deck
and I'm working on this building
which... I'm building as I think of it.
I'm not I don't have an exact plan but it,
I know what I want. I want a hot tub right here.
I want to be able to see that avalanche come and get me.
And I guess it's sort of a ing Lear thing,
uh blow ye winds and rage ye hurricaneos.
I like the weather. I love the weather. It's everywhere.
Apparently the risk of dying in an avalanche
is less than that from choking on meat
and I'm not a vegetarian so you know,
it's just... whatever you do, wherever you live,
I mean, people live in flood plains, people live in mud zones,
people live in hurr... I went to school is Sarasota Florida
where we waited for hurricanes on a regular basis.
You know, there's no place on earth, I don't think,
that is completely hazard free.
My friends they make jokes about it.
They call this Fort Liston.
And I get a charge out of it, I think it's pretty funny.
And they say, well we know
you're going to be seeing the avalanches coming down
and I say... Bring it on!
In 1972, a powder blast rocketed straight into the center of Juneau.
Luckily by the time it hit town, it's energy had already dissipated.
Many residents thought it was simply a fast and furious local blizzard.
A look up should have been enough for all to see the truth.
Experts say that it's not a question of "if"
but "when" the next disaster will happen.
While some choose to live in danger zones
others must earn a living there.
One of the most incredible survival stories
took place at the Bessie G mine
high in the La Plata mountains of Colorado.
In November 1986, Lester Morlang was working frantically
to build a snow shed with his partner, mentor
and best friend Jack Ritter.
We knew this storm was coming
and we had to get this timber in place before the storm came.
That was the whole purpose was to keep that old east portal open
for our ventilation inside.
Because of winter weather,
the Bessie G had only been worked three months a year.
But Jack Ritter, who knew more about gold mining than just about anyone,
had figured out how to operate her year round.
Yet this was the worst weather Jack had seen in over a decade.
Two feet of snow had already fallen
and both men were in a race with the storm.
Lester was in the bucket of the skip loader
and Jack was handing him timbers
when everything suddenly turned white.
When it initially hit when I come out of the bucket.
I'm sure that was only a matter of seconds before I landed.
And just naturally you put your hands
in front of your face in kind of ball up
because you don't know what's happening to you.
But for the first few seconds,
my whole life's flashing in front of my eyes.
And I'm seeing things I could never remember normally.
I'm actually seeing things like my son graduating from college
and you know I was sure I was going to die right there.
Although the snow was packed loosely around him,
Lester Morlang's odyssey had just begun
When I come to of course I had my hands
in front of my face and everything was packed.
One of the first things I could do was get the snow away from my face
because you go to inhale
and you were just inhaling a mouthful of snow.
And then of course, I was screaming for Jack, you know, I just,
screaming and crying and everything at the same time.
I mean it's trying to take your mind over.
Jack was already dead.
And now... buried only a few feet from Lester,
the skip loader's diesel engine was
spewing deadly exhaust into the snow.
I could feel the vibration in the snow and I could hear it,
definitely hear it and I knew to keep away from it
because I knew it would have been a big pocket of gas.
For if I'd a dug into that loader why that would have been it.
Lester knew where not to dig. But which way was up?
And when I had my face free I was kind of overlaying over on my side.
I had moisture from my mouth
and I could feel it running across the corner of my eye.
So I knew I was laying kinda of on my side, head down,
so I knew I wanted to start the incline you know to get back up.
What Lester couldn't know
was that he would have to dig through almost 30 feet of snow
fighting cold, claustrophobia
and a fear so intense, it sickened him.
Several times I would go into convulsions and I did throw up.
It seemed like every half hour,
why you'd have the dry heaves and some convulsions
kind of like attacking you.
I wasn't thirsty at first
I knew not to try and eat the snow
but my mouth was drying out
and everything and I'd take a little bit of snow in my mouth,
just to wet my lips, and spit it back out.
Every second. Every hour.
Every minute there's something there wanting you
to lose control of your senses.
And you know I'm thinking about my family
and the position I'd be leaving them in
and a couple of times I almost thought
my wife was right there with me because I could smell her perfume,
it was just as distinct as... I know it was there.
I could smell her and it and that was good
because that kind of gave me some strength
to know that I was, somebody was thinking about me.
Many people were thinking about him.
Word of the missing miners reached Sheriff Bill Gardner.
As soon as I heard I knew that this was the real thing.
I can't describe the feeling.
It... My heart sunk.
My stomach turned and literally chills went up my spine
because I knew what we were up against
This was a significant winter storm.
We had snow of at least two inches an hour.
We knew that we had winds of in excess of 50 miles an hour.
And we knew that the site was totally isolated.
That the only way to the site was either by air,
or through a canyon that was literally avalanche alley.
Avalanche safety expert Chris George was brought in to bomb the area,
clearing it of potential avalanches, making it safe for the rescue team.
The road into the Bessie G up the La Plata canyon was already
a serious hazard I mean just driving that road.
Just because one avalanche runs
doesn't mean to say that everything else is secured.
You know you'll have one or two people trapped somewhere.
You send another 40 people in there.
It's not secure. It's something we have to do.
After almost 22 hours of digging,
Lester finally inched closer to freedom
I could tell I was seeing a little bit of light
and so I was about, maybe two feet under
and of course the adrenaline started pumping then
and I just started digging and beating and jumping
and I can remember just breaking out and just screaming
Thank God, you know, I just, I made it.
I can't believe, I made it...
and then, to get out in a freezing storm, snowing,
blowing, that's when I got cold.
Bitterly disappointed with no rescue in sight,
Lester was forced to return to his snow tunnel for warmth.
He attempted to settle in for the night.
I tried to go to sleep and wake up real quick
and think I was in bed and had a bad dream.
But a very sad thing when I did wake up,
I was still in the cave.
Then another avalanche hit, burying Lester for a second time.
To hear that crack and that sliding sound
and I just assumed it was gonna squash me like a bug
in my little hole there.
Luckily it just slid over the top.
Morning came I knew I'm gonna get started as early as I can.
I'm gonna dig my out again.
So it was about six. I started digging my way out.
Course I only had a couple three feet of snow to go through.
And I got out. I just started...
the only direction I could move was down.
Finally in mid morning the winds abated enough.
We sent in Chris George to do our first aerial surveillance
of the accident site.
And we flew by the east portal looking for tracks.
There was no indication of where that portal was,
it was just one smooth angle of snow.
I had absolutely no idea that Lester had gotten out
and was at the foot of the mountain which is quite
a desperate descent under any circumstances.
I'll never forget that helicopter flying
approximately the same elevation that I was, but they were looking,
I could look in and see them
and they were looking up at the avalanche,
of course, they didn't expect me, where I was and then,
yeah it made me mad, I was, I was mad.
They just flew past me.
I could almost I thought I felt prop wash they were so close.
This must have been a half hour later.
I heard the thunder or what I thought was thunder
and then I realized they were dropping bombs
on the slope to secure the slope for the rescuers.
So I knew I had to get out of there.
I finally got up and got behind a tree
and it wasn't 15 minutes, I could hear the roar.
It was louder than any thunder you've ever heard.
If the first two didn't get him,
the third avalanche certainly wouldn't
Lester was almost to Junction Creek
when he heard the sound of the helicopter overhead.
This time they saw him.
He was flown 10 minutes away to Mercy Medical Center
where he was treated for severe frostbite.
They wanted to cut off several fingers but Lester held on.
With physical therapy and personal strength,
his fingers remain.
I can't express the mixture of joy and wonder
that someone survived this.
I mean veteran mountaineers and search and rescue people
were looking at each other.
People were hugging each other.
And we were going we can't believe this is true.
I have read hundreds of reports of avalanches.
I've been teaching snow safety for 35 years.
I've been in mountains, you know for 40 odd years.
To me it's one of the greatest survival stories I've ever heard of.
It's good for me because it gave me a new outlook and I,
I'm a lot tougher than I was
and I appreciate things a lot more than I did.
Like a nice warm house and a loving family.
I'm rich, I didn't need to extract all the gold out
of this mine to get rich.
I know now what rich is and I'm rich.
Experience teaches when we pay attention.
Wisdom arrives after we learn.
Winter will always come.
Snow will always fall.
All things obey the law of gravity.
In the mountains,
ignorance and arrogance can place us in harm's way.
We have a choice.
But if we remain unaware
and the mountains continue to lure us,
the white death will strike again... and again.

God is Kind but STERN - Duration: 4:48.
God is kind. Jesus Christ forgives all our sins He pardons us, and He makes us
children of God, if we accept Him, but what people do not understand is that
God is also stern. This rebellious generation does not understand the
sternness of God and the discipline of God. God is unrelenting. He demands
absolute obedience to the words of Jesus, because those are the words of eternal
life. God is unbending. He does not compromise,
to anybody or for anybody. God does not relent. He does not give up
on that which He commanded us to do. He does not change.
God is rigid. There is no shadow of changing with God.That which He said, He
will do. He will punish all disobedience. The wages of sin is death. If we turn
away from Jesus and we go back to sin then God will discipline us, and if we do
not accept discipline, we will perish, because God does not tolerate sin. God is
exact about His requirements. the words of Jesus Christ are exact. They are not
open to interpretation. Jesus said that if you look at a woman
to desire her, to lust after her, you have already committed adultery in your heart,
and adulterers will not enter the kingdom of God. Those who disobey Jesus
will perish, even though they did experience the
kindness of God, even though they were born again. Jesus said that every branch
in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. Such born-again
people who have experienced the kindness of God and who became children of God,
but who do not bear fruit, will get cut off and burned. They will end up in hell.
God does not change. God does not tolerate sin. God does not tolerate
disobedience. Without holiness no man shall see God. The soul that sins will
die, will perish in hell. No sinners will go into the kingdom of heaven.The
kindness of God leads us to repentance, and holiness, to obedience to His
commands, which are the words of Jesus Christ, the words of eternal life. Those
who disobey Jesus will perish. Those who rebel against Hm will not enter His
kingdom. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. If we obey
Him, we will live. If we deny Him, disregard and disobey Him, we will perish.
We need to understand the kindness of God, but also the severity of God, the
sternness of God. God that does not change, He does not tolerate
disobedience. Fear Him, obey Him, and you will live. There's only one way and that
is to follow Jesus Christ, obey Him and you will live.
May Jesus bless you.
Jesus Christ is alive and hell is real. I am here to
introduce you to Jesus Christ so that you can know Him and follow Him and have
eternal life. Subscribe to my channel to learn more about Jesus. May Jesus bless you.

Earn your star - how to do Pushups right - Duration: 2:13.
The most important pushup in Freeletics Bodyweight Training
is the classic pushup.
It's easy to get lazy with pushups and forget about technique.
So every now and then, your Coach will remind you
that there's always room for improvement.
How do you know if you're doing pushups right?
Here are mistakes you should avoid.
Spreading your elbows out to the side
can be very dangerous for your shoulders.
It also makes it harder to keep the body tension.
Make sure your elbows are kept close
to your upper body and pointed backwards
as you go down.
Not engaging your core enough can have multiple results,
one being that your body doesn't remain in a straight line.
Focus on having your core engaged
and keeping your body straight.
You can rewatch the tutorial video
within the app at any time.
Be honest with yourself and the
coach will be fair to you.

Molly Galbraith - YOU are NOT for Sale - Duration: 4:31.
As I scrolled through our Facebook activity recently, I came across a
message written by someone who shared one of our articles. She said, "This is a
very long article but very inspirational, encouraging and true. Girls Gone Strong
is surely one of those groups that wants to sell you one of their special shakes
and what not, but they also show some amazing transformations and give real,
healthy advice this is worth the read." I appreciated the positive feedback but I
was taken aback by the sentence, "Girls Gone Strong is surely one of those
groups that wants to sell you one of their special shakes or something..." and I
immediately felt compelled to respond and clear things up. I said, "Hi, thank you
for the kind words about the article but, just to be clear, we don't sell any
special shakes. In fact, we don't affiliate, promote or endorse any
products on our site and we don't allow any advertising. We've actually turned
down hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more, over the last several years
turning down these types of opportunities. We're fully funded by only
promoting handbooks, training programs, coaching that we've created, our apparel,
things like that. Things that we do. Because we want to be a hundred
percent in charge of maintaining the integrity of the information our
community receives. Hope that clears things up a bit!" [smiley face]
To which she responded, "Thank you so much for replying. I respect and appreciate your page even
more with that said. Keep up the good work." Because, you see, our decision to not
sell special shakes, or any supplement for that matter, is not by accident.
It is a very deliberate decision that, like I said, has left hundreds of thousands of
dollars on the table if not much more over the last five years since Girls
Gone Strong was formed. And to be clear this is not a judgment on people who do
those. In fact, Erin [Brown] and I were talking, and I think she said that endorsing,
promoting and affiliating and working with organizations like that is the
number one way that women in America make over six figures.
So that is the way they feed their families, it's the way they support themselves.
So this is by no means of value judgment on people
who do think that that's the best option for them and their business. It's just
not the option for us. Part of a much bigger decision, like I
said, to not only not promote these things, in addition we don't allow any
advertising on our website or social media platforms. We receive close to a
dozen emails a day from companies asking to purchase advertising space on our
website or on one of our social media mediums. They want to know how much it
would cost to gain access to you guys and we let them know that you're not for sale.
You are NOT for sale. Our reputation is not for sale. Our integrity is not for sale.
I've spent five years of blood, sweat and tears with the help and
support of so many others, so many people in this room, to turn Girls Gone Strong
into a website with the most trusted content for women's health, wellness,
nutrition, training, and lifestyle information, period. We do things
differently. We've come together to provide a common voice of body positive,
evidence-based information about strength training, nutrition, having a fit
pregnancy, women's health, physical therapy and injury prevention, fat loss,
mindset, and much more. I can't see with these freaking tears. SO SILLY! [sniffles]
Our advisory board members are the top experts in their field. Not the top
FEMALE experts, they are the top experts in their field and they happen to be female.
And these women, along with the other highly qualified contributors that
we hand-select, combine the latest research with decades of experience
working with women in the real world to help them to offer solutions to
help women reach their goals in a realistic sustainable and compassionate way.

Arsenal launch Thomas Lemar bid of £30million as Monaco star becomes Arsene Wenger's top transfer target
ARSENAL have reportedly launched a £30million bid for Monaco star Thomas Lemar. The playmaker has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates this summer after a fantastic season in Ligue 1.
Arsenal have made a £30m bid for Thomas Lemar. And French newspaper LEquipe claims the Gunners have finally submitted an offer for the versatile playmaker.
Its said that the offer exceeds Atletico Madrids £26. 5m bid which was made a year ago. And with Lemar open to leaving Monaco, it seems Arsenal have beaten north London rivals Tottenham to his signature.
Arsene Wenger has made the Monaco man his top target. All the information Arsenal fans need to know about target Thomas Lemar.
Lemar had a superb season as Monaco won the title. Lemar is a talented midfielder capable of playing on either wing or as a No.
And Arsene Wenger has made him his top target as doubts linger over the futures of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
Tottenham have also been linked with the young ace.
The bid is said to be worth more than Atletico Madrids £26. 5m a year ago. Lemar isnt the first player to leave French champs and Champions league finalists Monaco, with Bernardo Silva joining Manchester City in May.
Meanwhile, Tiemoue Bakayoko is closing in on a move to Chelsea as midfield partner Fabinho tempts Manchester United into an offer.

THIS CONTROLLER IS PURE EVIL - Duration: 10:01.
My, my...
(A case fan)!
I've always wanted one of these.
Oh...
(What's this)?
(DVD Drive)!
I thought I had a couple of these somewhere...
Oh!
Good.
I think it's time for a uh... request video number three.
Youtube random comment picker.
Uh.. nope.
Nope.
Hello Mr.Evan make a steering wheel Arduino joystick and steering wheel is 3D printed
thank you for making us happy.
Okay.
Arduino.
Steering wheel.
3D printed.
What else you got?
Next.
Next.
You ugly chink.
Nope, nope.
Ain't nothing I can do about that.
Hey Evan, can you make a controller out of a fidget cube?
Controller.
Fidgetty.
That was a terrible idea.
Uhh.. nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Please wire a PS2 controller to USB.
PS2.
USB.
This... this was a terrible idea.
Evan, just go back to bed.
Forget all this happened.
It's not like anybody's gonna know that you tried to make them happy and you failed again.
Go back to bed.
Go back to bed.
Go back to bed.
Go back to...
Design.
Uhh...
USB means we gotta shove an Arduino Pro Micro inside it.
I have no idea why!
But it's USB supported so...
Steering wheel?!
Ayy whatever you want man!
There you go.
You know what?
How about two steering wheels?
3D printed?
Are you kid...
Ayyy 3D printed steering wheels!
DAAAH!
Controller... it's a little late for that.
Fidget... man you are just full of...
Well alrighty then!
We'll just add some counterweights here, here, here, here, here, here.
And that'll make the wheel spin like a mother...
I want this controller to be so fidgetty that it'll make any JRPG play like QWOP.
Gentlemen.
And ladies.
There's no ladies here.
I present you... the Fidget USB Controller of Kickassery!
I just like to let you know that this is practically a vintage by now.
A few more years, I can pay rent with this.
I can buy food with this thing!
Aw... the food I can buy with this thing...
I think these holes are too big.
There's nothing I can do about...
Spinny wheels go here and here.
Arduino USB is gonna come out from the top.
These buttons we're gonna keep.
These buttons we're going to try to keep.
Now, for the steering wheel, we need something that spins really fast.
I'm thinking something like a uh... frictionless rotary encoder, if that is a thing?
Twenty bucks?!
Are you kidding me?!
EVAN ANGRY!
EVAN SMASH!
AAAHHH!
WAIT!
These are not rotary encoders, they're just motors.
But if you spin them in one direction, you get voltage across the terminals.
And if you spin it in the other direction, you'll get the opposite voltage.
How fast you spin it is how big the voltage is going to be.
In other words...
Way too much work.
DAAAHHH!
See, the problem is, the motor's going to generate positive and negative voltages.
And the Arduino is going to work off of 0 to +5V.
We could just get an opamp.
Don't make me go get an opamp.
You're gonna make me get an opamp.
Let's go get an opamp.
This is a quad opamp.
Four opamps in one.
Which is the same one as the one we used in this video.
Wapow!
It's not clickable.
You have to use the card thing now.
Take our first opamp.
Give that a voltage divider half way between 5 and ground.
This is now 2.5.
Add a capacitor here for good luck.
Now the motor, is going to sit on this virtual ground and is buffered into another opamp
which then gets output to the Arduino.
So essentially, what we've done here, is create a DC offset halfway between 5 and 0 where
the motor now sits and swings between 0 and 5.
So now the Arduino can read both the positive and the negative outputs of the motor.
Just gonna let you pause the frame here, if you have to.
There.
Are you done?
Time's up!
Hmm... this could work.
Not too bad.
Let's map it to a joystick axis.
Ah... something doesn't feel right.
Okay I see the problem.
So when you spin it really really fast, it goes all the way up to the max value really
quickly.
But when you spin it really slowly, it hardly registers anything.
We need a function, that transforms the current motor output into something that's really
sensitive in the beginning but then it slows down as it reaches the max value.
Log x.
Shift that to the left.
Uhh... other left.
Let's make it curvier.
MORE.
Perfect.
Add that into the code.
Aww... so much better.
Okay, while you weren't watching, I drilled two more holes in the back of the controller,
here and here.
These holes are going to be replaced by these motor mounts which are going to fit in like
this.
And the motor sits on top like that.
There we go.
Now we just gotta take all this and put it into this.
This into this.
Oh, and also, I want to keep the original board in here because it has the start and
select buttons...
Oh hey there!
Why yes, I'd love to take a bullet in my head right now.
Now we go design the wheel.
Why am I even doing this?
Get a job.
Quit youtube.
Be a salesman.
Or a panda.
Or a panda hugger.
Aw, I'd kill to be a panda hugger right now.
Uh, hi.
My name is Earl, and I'm a 3D printer.
Let's get a little closer.
Bwa!
Huu... are you done?
Yoink!
Weee!
Where are my steel nuts?
I said, where are my nuts of steel?!
Oh... ah, here we go.
See, that wasn't so bad, was it?
Should've really bought that bullet.
Here we go, here we go.
Nope.
Nope.
AW!
See this controller is all about momentum.
ARRRR.
Nope.
Nonono get that.
Stay away.
Stay away.
Definitely prolongs the life of a game.
The games that I used to be good at, just isn't a thing anymore.
Let's make some CRAZY MONEY.
Pick up that lady...
BRAKE.
Come on.
No time for you!
JUMP.
How did I not make it?!

How to Find the Right Bipolar Medications for You - Duration: 2:37.
Hey guys, it's Hannah.
So a lot of people always ask me:
How exactly did you go about
getting on the routine of medications
that you are on right now?
And a disclaimer is
I can't give the specific medications
that I'm on.
I did a video about this
a couple of months ago.
So subscribe to my YouTube channel
and look back at that video
if you haven't seen it.
And the other thing is
I have to constantly address my medications.
I don't want anybody to think that I have found
this perfect balance of meds,
this magical potion. No!
And right now, I'm actually in the process
of adjusting my medication.
But this how I went about it with my doctors.
First of all, I had to take control.
I'm so, so sick of going back and forth
to doctor's appointments;
of being lethargic and too tired,
not being able to work.
So I walked into my doctor's office
and I made THE LIST.
The infamous list.
So this is what the list basically looks like.
So I walked into my doctor
and I was like, Yo doc.
Do not want to feel.
I do not want to be overweight
and constantly hungry or binge eating.
I don't want to be constantly tired,
unable to concentrate,
cloudy and disorganized.
I want to feel happy, energetic.
Not perfect, as I'm never going to be perfect,
but balanced, confident and focused.
Now I know I'm never going to find
the perfect combination of medications
but if I can have the majority of this side
from what I'm getting,
then we have to switch.
And I think that when you work together
with your doctor,
instead of them always being in front of you
and telling you what to do,
when you create like a companionship,
then you start to see better results.
I know so many people have questions
or want to do a response video to this,
so please do.
I'll leave the information
of where to send a response video
or just share your comments below.
And I can't wait to read those or see those .
So I'll see you next week. Bye.
