Explorer Jim Mcneill Recruits for Polar Mission
ASCOT TO THE ARCTIC: EXPLORER JIM MCNEILL RECRUITS FOR POLAR SubmittedMISSION by: Ice Warrior Tuesday, 28 April 2015 One of the world’s most experienced and respected polar explorers, Ascot resident Jim McNeill, has received support for his next expedition in the form of £250,000 worth of digital advertising in premium locations across seven cities in the UK donated by Ocean Outdoor (http://www.oceanoutdoor.com). He is searching for intrepid volunteers to participate in a scientific trek to the Last Pole (http://www.lastpole.co.uk/) – the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility, which has never been reached before. Jim McNeill has spent over 35 years creating, advising and leading many expeditions in the world’s most extreme climates. In 2001 he founded the Ice Warrior Project, which aims to enable ‘ordinary’ people to experience the challenge of polar exploration and achieve extraordinary feats of endurance and endeavor while gaining an understanding of the changes affecting the Polar climate. Ice Warrior, which will run until 2020, has trained over 300 people in polar survival. Best known for his work in the polar regions, Jim has led many successful teams through high-risk polar expeditions and critical lifesaving situations where effective leadership and hands-on teamwork are paramount. This experience, along with Jim’s extensive safety and survival expertise, is employed by some of the world’s largest corporations including BBC TV, ITN, SKY and CNN and Hollywood film companies Marvel and Sony Paramount. In addition, Jim has been instrumental in many scientific experiments to measure the reality of polar climate change. -
Provincial Solidarities: a History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour
provincial solidarities Working Canadians: Books from the cclh Series editors: Alvin Finkel and Greg Kealey The Canadian Committee on Labour History is Canada’s organization of historians and other scholars interested in the study of the lives and struggles of working people throughout Canada’s past. Since 1976, the cclh has published Labour / Le Travail, Canada’s pre-eminent scholarly journal of labour studies. It also publishes books, now in conjunction with AU Press, that focus on the history of Canada’s working people and their organizations. The emphasis in this series is on materials that are accessible to labour audiences as well as university audiences rather than simply on scholarly studies in the labour area. This includes documentary collections, oral histories, autobiographies, biographies, and provincial and local labour movement histories with a popular bent. series titles Champagne and Meatballs: Adventures of a Canadian Communist Bert Whyte, edited and with an introduction by Larry Hannant Working People in Alberta: A History Alvin Finkel, with contributions by Jason Foster, Winston Gereluk, Jennifer Kelly and Dan Cui, James Muir, Joan Schiebelbein, Jim Selby, and Eric Strikwerda Union Power: Solidarity and Struggle in Niagara Carmela Patrias and Larry Savage The Wages of Relief: Cities and the Unemployed in Prairie Canada, 1929–39 Eric Strikwerda Provincial Solidarities: A History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour / Solidarités provinciales: Histoire de la Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Nouveau-Brunswick David Frank A History of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour david fra nk canadian committee on labour history Copyright © 2013 David Frank Published by AU Press, Athabasca University 1200, 10011 – 109 Street, Edmonton, ab t5j 3s8 isbn 978-1-927356-23-4 (print) 978-1-927356-24-1 (pdf) 978-1-927356-25-8 (epub) A volume in Working Canadians: Books from the cclh issn 1925-1831 (print) 1925-184x (digital) Cover and interior design by Natalie Olsen, Kisscut Design. -

Now a British team is planning a journey of more than 1,000km (800 miles) to be the first to France's migrant reach the loneliest place on the ice. 'cemetery' in Africa What's it like to answer The Arctic can be an unforgiving place, angry tweets about especially at its most remote location. The trains? Northern or Arctic Pole of Inaccessibility marks the place that is the hardest to reach. 10 things we didn't know last week It's the point that is furthest from any speck of land, about 450km (280 miles) from the geographic North Pole. It can be reached by trekking across the thick layer of ice that covers an ocean up to 5,500m (16,400ft) deep. Temperatures here can reach -50C in winter and it's dark from October to March. Next year's expedition will be Jim McNeill's third attempt on the Pole. The explorer's first two expeditions did not quite go according to plan. A flesh-eating bacterial infection kept him at base camp the first time. On the second attempt in 2006, he fell through the ice just before a storm hit. "The next three days were horrendous," he says. -

ON THE ACCURACY OF WIND AND WAVE MEASUREMENTS FROM BUOYS 1Peter K. Taylor, 2Ewa Dunlap, 3F.W. Dobson, 3R. J. Anderson, and 4Val R. Swail ABSTRACT The reliability and accuracy of wind and wave measurements from moored buoys has been the subject of numerous investigations in the past several years. Most studies were severely hampered by the lack of a suitable data set for comparison. Problems encountered in comparison included some or all of: spatial separation; vastly different platform types, affecting sensor height, flow distortion, platform motion; over-water versus coastal sites. The Storm Wind Study 2 (SWS-2) was carried out on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in the winter of 1997-98 using the Canadian research vessel Hudson and a NOMAD meteorological buoy which was specially equipped with several anemometers, wave sensors and a motion sensor, with high data rate recording (2 Hz to 20 Hz). SWS-2 has allowed examination of a number of reported problems affecting buoy winds and waves, including those concerning vector/scalar wind differences, wind fluctuations over waves and wave sensor comparisons.1 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Storm Wind Study 2 (SWS-2) field experiment took place between 29 October 1997 and 15 March 1998. The location of the SWS-2 experiment was the Grand Banks, about 300 km E of St. John’s, near the Hibernia oil field (Figure 1). The project was led by the Climate Research Branch (CRB) of the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC), with participation of the Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC; U.K.), BIO, MSC Atlantic and Pacific Regions, and Axys Technologies, the primary Canadian buoy contractor. -
Pioneering Arctic Expedition Offers Ultimate Fitness Challenge Submitted By: Ice Warrior Friday, 22 May 2015
Pioneering Arctic Expedition Offers Ultimate Fitness Challenge Submitted by: Ice Warrior Friday, 22 May 2015 Jim McNeill, one of the world’s most experienced and respected explorers, is offering ordinary people the chance to take on a truly ambitious fitness challenge: a quest to reach the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility – a world first. Many fitness experts and personal trainers recognise that for the majority of people, it is difficult to find the motivation to get fit without an end goal in sight. For some people, this might be a half-marathon, a triathlon or a bike ride. However, for those looking to make history, contribute to science and get fit in the process, the Last Pole (http://www.lastpole.co.uk) expedition is an exciting alternative. Because the trek requires a combination of physical and mental strength and stamina, it also appeals to those who already have a high level of fitness and want to prove themselves in another way. The 800 mile (1,280 km) expedition is the latest flagship of the Ice Warrior (http://www.ice-warrior.com/) project and will run from February to May 2016. The expedition will reach the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility – the centre of the Arctic Ocean. Applicants will be invited to a selection weekend on 26-28 June or 24-26 July at a location that will be revealed late to test participants’ organisational skills. Successful candidates will then undergo comprehensive and intensive UK and Arctic training. The pioneering expedition will make use of new technologies such as the hybrid kayak-sledge QAJAQ, which was designed by Jim himself.
