THE TRAGICALLY HIP :: CANADA ROCK



The Tragically Hip is a Canadian Rock group that originated in 1983 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada and have over the years accumulated many accolades from Canadian music lovers. This original music group has been recognized for its innovative, spirited, roots rock from Canada performing on many stages across the country. I first saw their live performance at a free concert held at the University of Western Ontario in 1991, (the same year the band received the Canadian Entertainer of the Year Award) following the release of their third album, Road Apples.

Having never previously heard of the group (1991), I received a short notice invitation from a few friends (about 8 of us in 1 car) to drive up to London, Ontario and see them live! Without regrets, they were/are one of the most successful and influential bands that performed songs that many Canadians can relate to and identify with as a distinctively Canadian Rock. They are Fantastic live and amazing on so many albums they have continued to produce until the present. If your interested, listen in to more of their music over here. Here's a few of their earlier albums to sample, enjoy the music & keep living life ^_^!

Antony Jinman, Polar Explorer (UK) Education Through Expeditions


There is so much going on in the exploration world (and in Korean-World!), I forgot to post about Antony Jinman, Polar Explorer, Adventurer, Daredevil, Good Will Guy of Plymouth, England. Antony is taking his exploration experiences to the classroom and is launching his foundation, Education Through Expedition (ETE) in collaboration with the University of Plymouth continuing scientific studies of the North Pole on his upcoming 2010 Expedition.

Antony Jinman drives an innovative way of bringing arctic exploration into the classroom, involving students inquiry (and mine) while he is out in his element, -50 degrees across Baffin Island's tundra high above the Arctic Circle pulling his sled with supplies and survival in mind, while surveying climate changes and visiting Inuit communities across the great divides.

Antony's outreach has gained recognition from the BBC, The Royal Geographical Society (RGS), and United Nations on documenting climate changes impacting geographical features of the arctic (massive glacial melting and permafrost thaws) which impacts the Inuit's communities and is rapidly changing their long developed, sustainable way of life and living. Much more information can be found on his website here.

Antony updates on his website:
"In February 2010, I will embark on my greatest expedition to date: to ski to the Geographic North Pole and be one of the few Britons ever to have done so. In so doing, and in collaboration with Plymouth University, I will collect vital data which will be used in climatic modeling research."

Let's take moment and discover more about his upcoming mission to the Pole...
