The Rose-breasted Cockatoo. . .

The rose-breasted cockatoo, also known as the galah (Eolophus roseicapilla), is a captivating Australian bird species.

The galah is approximately 35 cm in length and weighs 270–350 g. Its plumage includes a pale silver to grey back, a pink face, and a pink breast, along with a light pink mobile crest. The eye ring has bare, carunculated skin, and the legs are gray. Adult males have very dark brown (almost black) irises, while adult females have mid-brown or red irises. Juveniles have a grayish breast, crown, and crest, with brown irises and non-carunculated eye rings.

The galah is widespread throughout mainland Australia, except for the driest areas and the far north of Cape York Peninsula. It has also been introduced to Tasmania through human activities and has become common there. Galahs thrive in metropolitan areas like Adelaide, Perth, and Melbourne, as well as in open habitats with scattered trees for shelter. While they are mostly found in inland regions, they are rapidly colonizing coastal areas.

The Tip, Cape York, Australia: Tip of Cape York is the northernmost point of the Australian continent. It takes a lot of effort to drive to the tip of Aussie, but it is very much worth the effort. Certainly not a weekend adventure, or even a week - It really need to allow sufficient time to drive to long dusty corrugated roads that lead here, and back. The indigenous name for the very tip of Cape York, which is also the northern-most point of Australia is Pajinka... Cape York is the northernmost point of the mainland of Australia. It is within the locality of Somerset in the Shire of Torres, Queensland. Wikipedia

Chapter 209 Trivia

Why would you remove your shirts!? And how did you not die of an ebullism before you could artfully arrange your capes around your waists?

The Senku 11 here is a reference to the Apollo 11 spaceflight which landed people on the moon for the first time in 1969.

Also, the return of Suika's full melon helmet!

Aluminum has two usages for the rocket: the body, and fuel. It's strong and light-weight, but alone it can't handle the heat of reentry. This is fine since Senku doesn't plan to return.

As fuel, it needs special conditions to release energy, such as those made with thermite.

Cape York Peninsula is where Senku was headed, specifically for Weipa and Amrun, which account for most of Australia's bauxite production. Australia produces around 105 million metric tons of it per year, compared to China (68 million) and Guinea (64 million).

Bauxite itself is a dull, reddish rock made from a mix of aluminum minerals and iron oxides, and the main raw source of all aluminum on Earth. It's usually strip mined as it's found near the surface, and can be done environmentally responsibly by replacing the topsoil afterward.

A few people seemed confused by this random person here: the KoS had already begun reviving people in Australia (hence the buildings show in the previous panel), but they were running low on supplies to revive/feed the manpower they required to get sufficient amounts of bauxite.

Bucket wheel excavators are some of the largest vehicles ever produced, with a few of them featured in the Guinness World Records for their size, though not all of them are huge. They're used to continuously dig up large amounts of dirt and transport it away using conveyor belts.

In the Japanese version, Gen only says "bake*… Excalibur?" rather than the full joke the English translator @CDCubed came up with, "basket-weave Excalibur".

*Bake here is pronounced "bah-keh", and is a shortened version of "baketto" meaning "bucket".

The ship here has influences from the Americans: zig-zag patterns and stripes. The boat's name seems to be "NXN" but I couldn't find a meaning or a reference for it. It's a catamaran— it has two hulls to increase stability and reduce drag, allowing it to be more fuel-efficient.

The food here is all made from corn: corn tortillas to make burritos and tacos, cornbread muffins, then what I assume is corn chowder or soup.

I hope this isn't Yo since he's clothed in the next image, but Suika appears to be getting flashed by a naked person with spiky hair covering themselves up with a tray…

Last chapter we had a moon phase near the new moon, and this time we have a full moon, meaning at least 2 weeks have passed since the mathlympics.

Ryusui, Senku, and Tsukasa are shown on the surface of the moon, but they are not necessarily the three going on the mission itself. The roles they need to fill are "pilot", "scientist", and "warrior", that trio simply fit.

We also know that Tsukasa's choices were Taiju and Chrome, but that was before Ryusui was introduced.

In addition, we've seen that Chrome won't let Senku go on a suicide mission.

I wonder if we'll get an Australian character added to the team, or if the KoS will move on immediately.

I just think Australian slang would be a great addition with Chelsea and Gen around…

You know you're from Jersey when . . . .

You don't think of fruit when people mention "The Oranges." You know that it's called Great Adventure, not Six Flags. A good, quick breakfast is a hard roll with butter. You've known the way to Seaside Heights since you were seven. You know that the state isn't one big oil refinery. At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know the town Jon Bon Jovi is from. You know what a "jug handle" is. You know that WaWa is a convenience store. You know that the state isn't all farmland. You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey--there's the shore--and you don't go "to the shore," you go "down the shore." And when you are there, you're not "at the shore"; you are "down the shore." You know how to properly negotiate a circle. You knew that the last sentence had to do with driving. You know that this is the only "New" state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (try . . Mexico . . . York ..! . . Hampshire-- doesn't work, does it?). You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich. You consider putting mayo on a corned beef sandwich a sacrilege. You don't think "What exit?" is very funny. You know that people from the 609 area code are "a little different." Yes they are! You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton--that's for out-of-staters. You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls. You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers. Every year you have at least one kid in your class named Tony. You know the location of every clip shown in the Sopranos opening credits. You've gotten on the wrong highway trying to get out of the mall. You know that people from North Jersey go to Seaside Heights, and people from Central Jersey go to LBI, and people from South Jersey go to Wildwood. It can be no other way. You weren't raised in New Jersey--you were raised in either North Jersey, Central Jersey or South Jersey. You don't consider Camden to actually be part of the state You remember the stores Korvette's, Two Guys, Rickel's, Channel, Bamberger's and Orbach's. You also remember Palisades Amusement Park. You've had a boardwalk cheese steak and vinegar fries. You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February.

And finally . .

You've NEVER, NEVER NEVER, EVER pumped your own gas.

BARBARA - RESILIENCE

Barbara and I have been friends for almost 10 years, so I know her story very well. Dr. Barbara Wueringer is a zoologist specialising in the behaviour, sensory ecology, and biology of elasmobranch fishes, which include sharks and rays. She is the founder, director, and principal scientist of Sharks And Rays Australia (SARA), a non-profit research organisation based in Cairns, Queensland, dedicated to studying and conservating these species. Throughout her 16-year scientific career, Dr. Wueringer has gained extensive experience in capturing, tagging, and releasing large elasmobranchs, such as lemon sharks, tiger sharks, and sawfish. She has researched the remote river systems of Far North Queensland and Cape York Peninsula. Her work has been published in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals and has been featured in international media outlets, including the BBC, National Geographic, and The New York Times.

Under Dr. Wueringer’s leadership, SARA has been actively involved in monitoring sawfish populations in Far North Queensland. The organization collaborates with Indigenous groups, providing training to equip them with the skills necessary to monitor and collect data on sawfish populations. This collaborative effort aims to enhance community capacity to protect these endangered species.

The reason I chose Barbara to be part of the resilience project is mainly because of the extraordinary work she does. Barbara’s resilience is evident in her ability to navigate and address challenges such as ‘mansplaining’ and interactions with fishermen in male-dominated industries. Her approach exemplifies diplomacy and respect, fostering collaboration and manual understanding. By maintaining professionalism and empathy, she effectively challenges gender biases, paving the way for more inclusive and equitable work environments. Her constant goal of caring for our planet and its species, despite the adversities her position might bring, is truly inspiring.

Witnessing my friend, Dr. Barbara, perform her amazing work with such strength and commitment, yet also with gentleness and consideration, has left me speechless regarding what women are truly capable of achieving. Having Barbara in our community exemplifies that women can accomplish anything we set our minds to. We often confine ourselves to domestic roles, as the patriarchal system leads us to believe, so thank you, Barbara, for setting high standards for all women of the next generations.

Here are Barbara’s words that have contributed to the realization of the Resilience project:

Working with endangered species such as sawfish can be hard. Professions that involve passion often lead to burnout. I learned that the hard way. Going through major trauma, I learned that my resilience comes from action. I learned to participate in my healing, allowing vulnerability, and feeling everything that needs to be felt, actively. Resilience, post-traumatic growth and mental fitness are a journey, just like physical fitness. For me, having my journey of self-discovery intimately entwined with changing outcomes in Australia for globally critically endangered species, is exactly the journey I want to be on.
