And according to the experts at the wilderness conference: heed the warning signs for avalanches (cracks in snow, whomping sounds), learn how to swim (or take a floaty), take the time to acclimatize to high altitude, don't cook in your tent, discard climbing ropes if they are frayed (i.e.

"As soon as there is a higher risk of failure, they can close the train tracks and also the construction site," Dr. Steinacher said, adding that this has happened a number of times, although so far only small avalanches have come down, nothing big enough to threaten the station.

If you were much of an underground hip-hop fan around the turn of the century, you probably have fond memories of the Australian turntable crew the Avalanches' landmark debut album Since I Left You—and a decade and a half of grumbles about what's going on with the follow-up.

The Private Press isn't a bad album, but I can't imagine a day in my life where I'm reaching for it instead of Entroducing…, and as much as I've waited for the day in which the Avalanches would return, I'm not sure how often I'll be reaching for Wildflower, too.

Ryan might have used a synopsis of "Force Majeure" as an in-class case study, because shame and denial inhibit the reporting of human-triggered avalanches, which subsequently reinforces a culture of silence and impedes the sharing and disseminating of instructive stories in which the main characters do not choose wisely.

Less than 50 people visit the park each year due to its significant distance from the rest of the country—there are three landing sites where tourists can be dropped off after getting the proper permits, and they're warned of the dangers of river crossings, avalanches, and local wildlife like polar bears.

If you need a quick recap of the saga of The Avalanches, here goes: the Australian group released one joyous, sample-rich album (2000's Since I Left You) and then spent the next 23 years teasing its follow-up, which felt more and more like musical vaporware as the years went on.

But they were also hired because they were willing (though did they really have a choice?) to do the more dangerous work — clearing the path along perilous mountain ridges with dynamite, blowing up granite rock to create tunnels, often getting trapped inside mountains or swept away in avalanches — that others refused to do.

It's there a little bit in its sound, in the way that Jones and producer Kyle Gilbride make avalanches out of minimal instrumentation, but I hear it more in the way it sounds like the stifled gasp someone suddenly struck by the fullness of existence, all the pain and joy that's yet to come.

In time he harnessed magnetometers to search for mineral and oil deposits deep underground; find hidden weapons; locate skiers lost in avalanches; and help the government track down sunken submarines and a hydrogen bomb that had fallen into the ocean after a B-19663 bomber collided with a refueling jet over Spain in 21966.

In the 215 years since Since I Left You was released, information about new music from The Avalanches has emerged sporadically and when least expected, not unlike one of the jarring samples featured on their breakthrough single "Frontier Psychiatrist" (the buzzmaking video for which still stands as most likely the last Actually Great music video ever made).

A pastoral, gently trippy travelogue, the Avalanches' second proper LP explicitly takes the shape of three different eras of psychedelia: the swirling guitar pop of the 60s, Prince Paul's giggly mischief-making make in the late 80s and early 90s, and the foggy retro-indie established by Athens, Georgia's Elephant Six collective in the late 90s.

Perhaps the lesson to take away from the Avalanches' pleasant, soothing, and relatively unexciting return is that we could all stand to apply better management to our expectations at large: after all, it's still impressive when someone pulls off a magic trick twice, but it's unfair to expect the trick to be as effective the second time around.

Wearing headphones, chewing a cigar, seated in a swivel chair at the flight director's console surrounded by engineers at their computers and 17 projection screens, he coolly absorbed avalanches of incoming data and made tough "go, no-go" decisions during launch countdowns, at separation points of multistage rocket ascents and at other critical times in a flight.

The incident was notable less for the body count (zero) and more for how, even though several members of the eight-person party had previously triggered avalanches and even, in one case, witnessed a fatality, they had ignored the many obvious dangers, suggesting that these skiers had become dazzled by their own expertise, falsely brightened by luck.

The new report opens with this rather grim assessment of the past 38 years:Communities have been overrun by lava flows in Hawaii and in Washington State, a powerful explosion has devastated huge tracts of forest and killed people tens of miles from the volcanic source, and debris avalanches and mudflows have choked major river ways, destroyed bridges, and swept people to their deaths.

The drone that the Discovery carries onboard can broadcast live footage back to the rescue crew at the car, giving them a bird's-eye view not only of potential survivors in case of accidents and disasters, but also letting them see how the landscape may have actually changed compared to any maps they may have as a result of earthquakes, avalanches, wildfires and storms.

Part of what makes the Avalanches' sampladelic formula successful is the way certain samples jump out in the mix, like flipping through a pop-up book; one of Wildflower's most ear-catching instances of this phenomenon is smack dab in the middle of LP single "Subways," when the vocal-chant earworm of The Bar-Kays' "Sang and Dance" is thrown into the fray with showy flair.
