Long ago, the Mayan civilization suffered a collapse at the peak of its power. For years, many archeologists and scientists have had various theories and ideas as to why the Mayan civilization collapsed. Now an ancient mud flow has revealed the secret to the Mayan civilization’s crash into history.
Channel Dad Bryon Lape reads an article written by Sarah Sloat for Inverse via Get Pocket on what the ancient mud flows near Lake Chichancanab. Scientists from the University of Cambridge and University of Florida published their findings in Science.
The end result? A sever and prolonged drought. What would happen to modern day civilization if such a drought came again?

Since their discovery by European explorers, the Puquios of Peru have been a mystery. How created them? What are they for? Are they functional or ritual? Finally after quite a bit of work and research, Rosa Lasaponara of the Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, in Italy, and her team have published their findings.
Channel Dad Bryon Lape reads an article on Get Pocket, which comes via BBC Future by William Park. He reads a bit of the details on the purpose of the Puquios of Peru and their function for the original inhabitants of Nasca region of Peru. What is your theory?
As more good data is collected about Covid-19, the World Health Organization has been updating their policies and procedures. The WHO have already stated the wearing of masks outside of the Health Care System is not effective and should not be done. Now WHO has updated the idea that people who are asymptomatic can be spreading the virus. Such asymptomatic spread is rare. It is not zero, but so small it might as well be.
Feel better now? Think this is just something being reported by FoxNews or The Blaze? No, this report comes from CNBC. You may read their article yourself here.
Channel Dad Bryon Lape reads the latest news about the coronavirus and asymptomatic spread. Will the US update their position? Will the governors of states finally open up their economies? Doubt it. They have too much to lose by stating they are wrong. Herd immunity cannot be denied.
Why does Channel Dad Bryon Lape read articles about topics like a coronavirus update? Channel Dad cares about health and wellness. Everyone is different and a wide range of information is necessary to help people find their very own Health and Wellness path. Some will need to change their diets, while others will need to change their workout routines. Some will have to make many, many changes, most likely slowly over time, while others have to just tweak their current program and can do it quickly.
Covid 19 is effecting everyone around the world, though very little are getting ill. Many have lost their jobs due to the lockdowns and some job may never come back. The stress of the governmental actions do take a toll on the body and staying healthy can be a challenge. Physical fitness has an important role in keeping people healthy. Don’t forget to workout, but don’t get sick at the gym.
Jeremy of Geeks + Gamers loves to rant, usually about Star Wars and Lucasfilm. Channel Dad Bryon Lape is a founding member of The Fandom Menace, so why doesn’t he rant more? He personally knows Jeff of World Class Bullshitters and has recorded videos with him. Bryon Lape also knows the other members of the World Class Bullshitters and brought the fans together to create the podcast called The Fan Caste. He is older than Uncle Ethan as well. So why not rant more?
Ranting is negative energy and all it brings is more negativity. Jeremy may grow the Geeks and Gamers channel with his style and that is good for him. Jeff takes a more middle of the road approach with the World Class Bullshitters, but it is his factual toy videos, in particular the Star Wars toys, that has made his channel grow quite well. Channel Dad Bryon Lape takes a more positive approach to his channel and covers items that interest him. This does include Star Wars, the MCU, and other Pop Culture items, but it is not limited to that realm. Bryon Lape is also interested in Fitness, Health, Photography, Computer Generated Images (check out his DAZ Studio attempts….and yes, he is learning Blender), and many other delightful topics. After all, this is Channel Dad Bryon Lape’s Random World of Wonderfulness.
Why the name “Channel Dad”? Why does Bryon Lape use that so much that he renamed his channel to reflect it? That is a most excellent question. When he decided to create a Blue Ocean Strategy for his channel, Bryon Lape decided to connect people and ideas. Though he does interviews from time to time, it is not a main thrust of his channel. Finding people with different ideas and connecting them with others is what he does best. The connecting is a talent Bryon Lape has had for years. When Jeff Hicks of the World Class Bullshitters gave him the title of “Channel Dad,” it was due to him driving the group to various events and connecting them with others. The Blue Ocean Strategy that Bryon Lape creates gives a more balanced approach to various pop culture events, even as Jeremy of Geeks + Gamers rants. Jeremy’s energy is balanced by Channel Dad’s moderated approach, giving members of the Fandom Menace a scale upon which to measure their own impressions. This is obvious from his Star Wars, DCEU, and MCU videos, so please delight in the other stuff too.
There has been much debate as to the role of Sodium and health. For too long, it has been believed that Sodium contributes to high blood pressure and heart disease. This link is tenuous at best and often seen as antidotal, but new evidence has been found that too much sodium creates problems with gut bacteria which can lead to brain issues. Apparently, there is a gut-brain connection that is linked with sodium intake.
Many people believe the Old Testament says the Israelites conquered the Canaanites completely and replaced the population. The Old Testament doesn’t actually say that and neither does the archeology. Now DNA research shows the land of Israel and Palestine is populated with people who share DNA with the Canaanites that have been found buried in the region. Really??
Channel Dad Bryon Lape reads an article on the National Geographic website about a DNA study. The article is written by Andrew Lawler. Want to know more? Here is the link to the article.
The article reveals the surprising heritage of these mysterious Bronze Age people. Who exactly were the Canaanites? When did they appear? Were they a single people or a mix of various people groups who migrated into the area of Israel and Palestine at different times? How much like the Canaanites listed in the Old Testament were these people? The DNA test does help to piece a few things together, but more study is needed.
What about the other people listed in the Old Testament as living in this area? What of the Judean, Moabite, Ammonite? Those DNA studies will soon be coming, hopefully.

There is no need to try what a bodybuilder tries to maintain health. There is no need to go to extremes to get into shape. Small, simple daily steps will get you to your goals. Once you get a good start and you want to up your game, check out Matt Does Fitness (sometimes listed as MattDoesFitness, for some reason) and do your best to keep up with Matt and Chloe Ting.

Do you go all out in the gym? Does this sometimes lead to an injury that keeps you at home for a week or two, and then you injure something else when you return?
Or perhaps you are like many people who have been stuck at home while their gym was closed by the Government. Returning to the gym after 2 months and trying to pick right back up from where you were can lead to some injuries. Take your time and listen to your body.
Channel Dad Bryon Lape reads an article by Jenn Sinrich on the Muscle and Fitness site. Jenn’s topic is 14 secrets of people who never get exercise injuries. In the controlled environment of the gym or training facility, it is very important to not do things that lead to injuries. Use these 14 secrets and stay health post training.

The Original trilogy of Star Wars has many version. There is the original theatrical releases (yes, there are two from 1977), the rerelease after Empire that renamed the first movie to Episode IV: A New Hope, the THX remastered release on VHS in the mid 1990’s, the special editions released in theaters, and a post prequel extra special edition.
George Lucas has continuously picked at the scab that is his first creation. There are many theories as to why he has created so many versions and keeps trying to make it perfect, but the result is the same, the fans are annoyed. Instead of making these versions a new encounter, George Lucas as replaced the previous version that was available. Want the original 1977 release on Blue Ray? Too bad. What about the mid-90’s THX remaster on something other than VHS? Nope, not available. Every version has it fans and detractors. Every version should be available on the most recent media. George Lucas is the reason they are not.
Enter the fan created Despecialized edition. Seen by many fans as the best compromise on any media, this edition was created over many years by Petr Harmáček and a group of highly skilled fans. From a copyright stand point, watching this version of Star Wars is illegal, but fans do anyway. Are you one of them?
Channel Dad Bryon Lape reads an article by Leah Marilla Thomas on Looper about Petr Harmáček’s lead fan effort to make the best, modern version of the original trilogy, without all the nonsense George Lucas has added, whatever excuse he gives for the change. What do you think of what the group lead by Petr Harmáček has created?
