Shishmaref is a city in the Nome Census Area, United States. It is located on Sarichef Island in the Chukchi Sea, just north of the Bering Strait and five miles from the mainland. Shishmaref lies within the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve; the population was 563 at the 2010 census, up from 562 in 2000. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 7.3 square miles, of which, 2.8 square miles of it is land and 4.5 square miles of it is water. Shishmaref was named in 1821 by explorer Lt. Otto von Kotzebue, of the Imperial Russian Navy, after Capt. Lt. Gleb Shishmaryov who accompanied him on his exploration. Sarichef Island is part of a dynamic, 100 km-long barrier island chain that records human and environmental history spanning the past 2000 years. Erosion at Shishmaref is unique along the islands because of its fetch exposure and high tidal prism intense infrastructure development during the 20th century, multiple shoreline defense structures built beginning in the 1970s.

The effect of global climate change upon Shishmaref is sometimes seen as the most dramatic in the world. Rising temperatures have resulted in a reduction in the sea ice which serves to buffer Shishmaref from storm surges. At the same time, the permafrost that the village is built on has begun to melt, making the shore more vulnerable to erosion. In recent years the shore has been receding at an average rate of up to 10 feet per year. Although a series of barricades has been put up to protect the village, the shore has continued to erode at an alarming rate; the Army Corps of Engineers has build a series of walls but none have been effective against waves. The town's homes, water system and infrastructure are being undermined. Shishmaref has obtained funds to construct seawalls that protect some of the shoreline; the village had plans to relocate several miles to the south, on the mainland to the Tin Creek site. However, Tin Creek proved unsuitable for long term settlement due to melting permafrost in the area.

The Shishmaref Erosion and Relocation Coalition, made up of the city, the IRA Council and other organizations, is seeking federal and private funding for a move elsewhere. The cost of moving Shishmaref is estimated at $180 million, nearly $320,000 per resident; the village was told by the Obama administration that no federal money was available, therefore tensions arose in 2013 when John Kerry announced Vietnam would receive $17 million to deal with climate change. Erosion rates along the island front exceed those along adjacent sectors. Erosion is occurring along the entire island chain, but it is exacerbated at Sarichef Island in part because of the hydrographic impacts of hard armoring of a sandy shoreface and permafrost degradation, accelerated b y infrastructure. Residents are experiencing the effects of coastal retreat on commercial properties. Residents voted on town relocation several times, as early as 1975 and in 2002 which approved it. On August 16, 2016, the village voted to move the town to the mainland.

The town's residents prefer to think of the move to the mainland as an "expansion" rather than a "relocation", but although a site on the mainland called West Tin-Creek Hills was selected in 2016, there’s still a lot of planning and research to be done before that can be determined viable. Shishmaref is a traditional Inupiaq Eskimo village. Residents rely on a subsistence lifestyle and gathering much of their food. Primary food sources include sea mammals such as oogruk, other seals and walrus, birds and moose; the village is well known in the region for its high-quality seal fermented meat. It is known for its Native art. Local carvings of whalebone and walrus ivory are sought after by galleries in Alaska and the Lower 48. Shishmaref was home to one of Alaska's most-beloved dog mushers. Herbie Nayokpuk, known as the "Shishmaref Cannonball", died in December 2006, he finished the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race numerous times, including a second-place finish. It is sometimes referred to as "the friendliest village in Alaska."

Researchers and the occasional tourist visit Shishmaref, the city has acquired a reputation for being a gracious host. Shishmaref first appeared on the 1920 U. S. Census as an unincorporated village, it formally incorporated in 1969. As of the census of 2000, there were 562 people, 142 households, 110 families residing in the city; the population density was 202.0 people per square mile. There were 148 housing units at an average density of 53.2 per square mile. The racial makeup of the city was 93.24% Native American, 5.34% White, 1.42% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.53% of the population. Of the 142 households 52.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 36.6% were married couples living together, 19.7% had a female householder with no husband present, 22.5% were non-families. 21.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 4.2% had someone living alone, 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 3.96 and the average family size was 4.59.

Dunedevil is a mixed-media project by Converge's frontman Jacob Bannon. The musical component of the project serves as Bannon's second album under the Wear Your Wounds moniker, while the physical mediums were compiled into a companion art book titled Dunedevil: An Artistic Journey Into Abstraction and Isolation. Both pieces were created during a seven-day excursion to Dune Shacks of Peaked Hill Bars Historic District and self-released on May 19, 2017—only one month after Wear Your Wounds' debut album, WYW. After nearly 30 years of creating music for Converge and Irons, in addition to creating artwork not limited to album covers for dozens of bands, Jacob Bannon had an epiphany. "I've had a lot of things going on in my life in the past couple of years that have made me realize that time is not infinite. The songs that you create, the art that you create, needs to go to the public if, the intention." Over his career, Bannon created music, never publicly released, but started to change his mind about these methods.

"When I kept writing songs and filing them away and not sharing them with people, doing me a disservice creatively, so I'm now at a point in my life where I just want to get it out to people."For one week during winter 2016, Bannon rented out one of the Dune Shacks of Peaked Hill Bars Historic District located outside of Provincetown, Massachusetts, a part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. He stayed in the C-Scape Dune Shack. Scattered throughout the National Park, these shacks were built by the United States Life-Saving Service in the 1920s for shipwrecked sailors to seek refuge; some were made from pieces of debris that has washed ashore, none have been modernized with running water or electricity. Over the last century, many famous artists have spent time in the Dune Shacks for creative inspiration, including: playwright Eugene O'Neill and abolitionist Henry David Thoreau, abstract expressionist painter Jackson Pollock and iconoclast novelist Jack Kerouac. During each one of the seven days Bannon spent at C-Scape Dune Shack, he wrote and recorded a piano-driven track through a portable and solar-powered setup.

After he returned home, The Red Chord's Mike McKenzie recorded additional guitars for the final track, "Be Still My Heart". The musical pieces he recorded during the seven-day excursion were compiled into the Dunedevil album, while the visual pieces were compiled into the nearly 300-page Dunedevil book. Commenting on the spontaneity of the project, Bannon said: "I didn't go out there with the intention to make a book, I went there with the intention to make stuff, but I like what I did so I'm going to share it with people." "Invitation" – 4:55 "Great White" – 4:48 "Insects" – 2:51 "Outsiders" – 2:26 "Relic" – 5:07 "Steps" – 4:48 "Be Still My Heart" – 4:30 Dunedevil album personnel adapted from LP liner notes. Jacob Bannon – guitar, electronics and artwork Mike McKenzie – additional guitar on "Be Still My Heart" Brad Boatright – mastering Dunedevil: An Artistic Journey Into Abstraction and Isolation is an art book and journal by Jacob Bannon. Created during the same week-long excursion as the Dunedevil album, the nearly 300-page book features Bannon's abstract paintings, but includes brief daily diary entries and photography.

The diary entries detail his daily activities, which helps to illustrate the context behind the album's track titles. In an excerpt from "Day 2" he wrote: "I crawled into bed and read news of a great white shark seen just four feet from the beach today, it was preying on the seals that have been keeping me company."The book features the work of Bannon, but includes a foreword written by tattoo artist Thomas Hooper and additional photography by Reid Haithcock and his wife Janelle Bannon.

William Henry Harrison was an American military officer and politician who served as the ninth president of the United States in 1841. He died of typhoid, pneumonia or paratyphoid fever 31 days into his term, becoming the first president to die in office, his death sparked a brief constitutional crisis regarding succession to the presidency, because the Constitution was unclear as to whether Vice President John Tyler should assume the office of president or execute the duties of the vacant office. Tyler claimed a constitutional mandate to become the new president and took the presidential oath of office, setting an important precedent for an orderly transfer of the presidency and its full powers when the previous president fails to complete the elected term. Harrison was born in Charles City County, the son of Founding Father Benjamin Harrison V and the paternal grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States, he was the last president born as a British subject in the Thirteen Colonies before the start of the Revolutionary War in 1775.

During his early military career, he participated in the 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers, an American military victory that ended the Northwest Indian War. He led a military force against Tecumseh's Confederacy at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, where he earned the nickname "Old Tippecanoe", he was promoted to major general in the Army in the War of 1812, in 1813 led American infantry and cavalry at the Battle of the Thames in Upper Canada. Harrison began his political career in 1798, when he was appointed Secretary of the Northwest Territory, in 1799 he was elected as the territory's delegate in the House of Representatives. Two years President John Adams named him governor of the newly established Indiana Territory, a post he held until 1812. After the War of 1812, he moved to Ohio where he was elected to represent the state's 1st district in the House in 1816. In 1824, the state legislature elected him to the U. S. Senate. Afterward, he returned to private life in North Bend, Ohio until he was nominated as the Whig Party candidate for president in the 1836 election.

Four years the party nominated him again with John Tyler as his running mate, the Whig campaign slogan was "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too". They defeated Van Buren in the 1840 election. At 68 years, 23 days of age at the time of his inauguration, Harrison was the oldest person to assume the U. S. presidency, a distinction he held until 1981, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated at age 69 years, 349 days. Due to his brief tenure and historians forgo listing him in historical presidential rankings. However, historian William W. Freehling calls him "the most dominant figure in the evolution of the Northwest territories into the Upper Midwest today". Harrison was the seventh and youngest child of Benjamin Harrison V and Elizabeth Harrison, born on February 9, 1773 at Berkeley Plantation, the Harrison family home along the James River in Charles City County, Virginia, he was a member of a prominent political family of English descent whose ancestors had been in Virginia since the 1630s and the last American president born as a British subject.

His father was a Virginia planter who served as a delegate to the Continental Congress and who signed the Declaration of Independence. His father served in the Virginia legislature and as the fifth governor of Virginia in the years during and after the American Revolutionary War. Harrison's older brother Carter Bassett Harrison represented Virginia in the House of Representatives. Harrison was tutored at home until age 14 when he entered Hampden–Sydney College, a Presbyterian college in Virginia, he studied there for three years, receiving a classical education which included Latin, French and debate. His Episcopalian father removed him from the college for religious reasons, he attended a boys' academy in Southampton County, Virginia before being transferred to Philadelphia in 1790, he boarded with Robert Morris and entered the University of Pennsylvania in April 1791, where he studied medicine under Doctor Benjamin Rush and William Shippen Sr. His father died in the spring of 1791, shortly.

He was only 18 and Morris became his guardian. Governor Henry Lee III of Virginia was a friend of Harrison's father, persuaded Harrison to join the military. On August 16, 1791, Harrison was commissioned as an ensign in the Army in the 1st Infantry Regiment within 24 hours of meeting Lee, he was 18 years old at the time. He was assigned to Fort Washington, Cincinnati in the Northwest Territory where the army was engaged in the ongoing Northwest Indian War. Harrison was promoted to lieutenant after Major General "Mad Anthony" Wayne took command of the western army in 1792 following a disastrous defeat under Arthur St. Clair. In 1793, he learned how to command an army on the American frontier. Harrison was a signatory of the Treaty of Greenville as witness to Wayne, the principal negotiator for the U. S. Under the terms of the treaty, a coalition of Indians ceded a portion of their lands to the fe
