A new program is helping Illinoisans of African descent reconnect and reclaim ancestral ties lost due to the transatlantic slave trade. In a period spanning over 400 years, more than 13 million men, women, and children were forcibly transported across the Atlantic Ocean to work in the Americas, devastating familial bonds. Now, the Illinois Family Roots Pilot program is offering free DNA testing so people can trace their roots into the past and connect with living relatives. Reset learns more about the state program and hears from two Chicago-area residents who connected after DNA testing showed they were related.

A research team from the University of Galway has captured a rarely observed ocean mixing process during an expedition to the Greenland Sea, a finding that could improve our understanding of Arctic climate change. The research team spent several weeks at sea during the summer of 2023 aboard the Marine Institute's research vessel RV Celtic Explorer, carrying out surface ocean measurements in one of the most remote and climate-sensitive parts of the world. The team focused on a phenomenon known as cabbeling. This process involves the temperature and salinity (concentration of salt) in the ocean, which together make up the ocean density. Cabbeling occurs when two water masses with different temperatures and salinities, but the same density, are mixed together. The result is a denser mixture than either of the original water masses, a consequence of the non-linear behaviour of seawater. This denser mixture then sinks, triggering turbulence and vertical mixing. Cabbeling has important implications for melting Arctic sea ice as it can increase the amount of heat from below to the ocean surface. The study has been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. To observe the cabbeling process, the team deployed a robotic instrument known as the Air-Sea Interaction Profiler (ASIP), which is a unique instrument specifically designed to study small-scale processes at the ocean surface. The ASIP is 2.8 metres in length, weighs about 90 kilograms, and is completely autonomous. Repeated dives and ascents by the robotic instrument carry its sensors through the upper 100 meters of the upper ocean, making fine-scale physical measurements including turbulence, temperature, and salinity. The results have implications for improving scientists' understanding of cabbeling and its potential role in models of sea surface warming and Arctic ice loss, particularly as climate patterns shift. The Greenland Sea is expected to experience increased freshwater outflow from melting ice in a warmer climate, altering the regional dynamics. Understanding and incorporating the effects of cabbeling will enhance the accuracy of predictions of ocean heat transport, especially in polar regions where warming is accelerating and sea ice is in decline. The study was led by PhD candidate Kevin McGraw, Professor Audrey Morley and Professor Brian Ward from the University of Galway, and took place along the East Greenland Polar Front, an area where cold, fresh Arctic water meets warmer, saltier Atlantic water. Kevin McGraw, PhD candidate at the School of Natural Sciences, University of Galway, said: "Cabbeling is rarely observed because it is sporadic and short-lived, with its intensity and reach varying across Polar Regions. Our underwater robotic platform, Air-Sea Interaction Profiler, is a unique instrument designed specifically to study the upper ocean without interference from the ship. Because it can capture rapid changes on the scale of seconds to minutes, it allowed the team to detect cabbeling in action, which would have been nearly impossible with conventional methods." Professor Audrey Morley, Professor of Marine Geology at the School of Geography and Archaeology, University of Galway, said: "The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a system of ocean currents that circulates water within the Atlantic Ocean, bringing warm water north and cold water south, thereby distributing heat around the globe. Density gradients have been identified as a main driver of the AMOC, which may be altered by high-latitude cabbeling in a warming ocean. This suggests that the cabbeling effect needs to be considered to explain past and future AMOC variability." Professor Brian Ward, Professor of Ocean Physics at the School of Natural Sciences, University of Galway, said: "These observations are a good example of the subtle processes associated with climate change and how small-scale processes can have broader implications. New methods of detection, such...

As of October, the shipping company Maersk will be phasing out its AMEX service, which currently transports goods directly between South Africa and the East Coast of the USA. South African goods shipped by Maersk will first go via European ports before making their journey across the Atlantic Ocean, increasing the time it takes for consignments to reach the US market.

Not many people can say that they have ever rowed an ocean; in fact, more people (until very recently) can say that they have been to space than have rowed an ocean. For Team Seneca Navy, this task, known as the "World's Toughest Row," is the only obvious choice for the next step in their lives. This crew of four partially-crazy, fully-adventurous rowers will take off from the shores of the Canary Islands and row across the Atlantic Ocean, before landing in Antigua. By name, these rowers are David Ranney (Cleveland, OH, USA), Moritz Marchart (Stuttgart, Germany), Anthony Carella (Vaughan, ON, Canada), and Ryan Mulflur (Hingham, MA, USA). In episode 55 of the "Chats with Clark" Podcast, Team Seneca Navy joins the show just a few months before they take off to share what they anticipate, mourn over what they have yet to anticipate, and inspire all of us to pursue better versions of ourselves. In fact, that is the very mission of the nonprofit that the crew started to support their efforts. All of the funds raised throughout the process of the race will go to charities that share this profound mission. Tune in to hear the epitome of the phrase "trusting the process" and the ambition of four gentlemen who not only want to compete in the world's toughest race, but win it! Forever will the members of Team Seneca Navy be known for their courageous efforts in a highly unique endeavor that benefitted so many others and also infinitely will change their lives.

Port wine comes from the Douro Valley, Spain. It wasn't long ago that we tasted a wine from the Douro Valley, Spain. The river continues west through Spain and runs directly through Portugal before it empties into the Atlantic Ocean at the City of Porto. This is Portugal's second largest city and the namesake of the wine. Port wine is highly regulated. No other area can produce “Port” wine. After the start of fermentation, and when about half of the sugar has been converted to alcohol, a spirit, normally brandy, is pumped into the juice to stop the fermentation. The result is a sweet and high-alcohol wine.There are two types of port; vintage port and tawny port. A vintage port will happen about 3 out of 10 years and happens when conditions are just right to produce the best port. These ports are produced and bottled after approximately two years. They are often ready to drink after 4 or 5 years, but can normally be aged for many years. Tawny port originally got its name from wine aged so long that it lost its red color and became a tawny brown or tan. Today it is typically labelled 10 or 20 years, or more. Tawny ports are normally smoother than vintage ports. According to the Oxford Companion to Wine, today, Tawny Ports are many times no older than a vintage port and may even include white ports or wine-making techniques to get the desired color.We also want to talk about two varietal wines. First is Tinta Roriz, which is what the Portuguese call Tempranillo. The second variety we want to talk about is Touriga Nacional. This is traditionally the main grape variety used in port wine, but is becoming a more important single varietal wine grape. It has also expanded to France, South Africa, Australia, and the US in recent years. Mainly because it is a heat-resistant grape variety. Tonight, we are enjoying:2019 Ermegeira Tinta Roriz MIA. It comes from the Lisboa region of southern Portugal and has 11.5% alcohol. I purchased the wine at Wine Styles for around $28. It is certified organic and suitable for vegans according to the website. Vivino says the wine is earthy, juicy cherry, boysenberry, Raspberry, slightly grippy. The grapes are lightly pressed to limit extraction. Only grapes from his own estate are used. All stainless steel used I production with no SO2 at all. 100% Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo)10 Year Old Kirkland Tawny Porto. I purchased at Costco for $16.99. Reverse Wine Snob says aromas of prunes, raisins, orange zest, caramel, toffee, some nutty notes, some bourbon and a good bit of heat. Tastes silky smooth, sweet, and fruity with raisiny fruit notes, more caramel, toffee, and nutty notes. Recommends a buy. Pair with a rich dessert. We both loved the Tinta Roriz and gave it a score of 4. This was produced in stainless steel so it is brighter than the typical tempranillo. To me it just tasted fresh and natural. The Port was good and we both enjoyed and we both scored it a 3. Had a very hot aroma, but was smooth and tasty for the most part. This is a nice price for a port and I would suggest you give it a try. You will need to be open to a strong and sweet dessert wine. Next week we are having a mystery show. Join us next week to see what wine we end up tasting.

Sacred melodies possess a remarkable ability to transcend time, speaking to our hearts across centuries. In today's five-minute devotional, we uncover the fascinating story behind the beloved hymn "Nearer My God to Thee," written by Sarah Adams in 1841—a journey that takes us from London's theatrical stage to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.The hymn's journey through history takes unexpected turns—from allegedly being played as the Titanic slipped beneath the waves to Ted Turner commissioning a special recording for CNN to broadcast when "the end of the world is confirmed." Yet beyond these cultural touchpoints lies the simple power of five stanzas that express our spiritual journey drawing ever closer to God, both in this life and ultimately in eternity. While modern recordings are rare, the instrumental version by Andre Rieu captures the profound emotional resonance that has made this hymn beloved for generations. Take a moment today to reconnect with this timeless piece of sacred music that continues to comfort and inspire believers around the world.Here is the youtube link to Nearer My God to Thee.                 https://youtu.be/z56-fM1WYnc                                             We would love to hear your comments.

Two Lancaster County residents joined a group of American activists in visiting the Israeli-occupied West Bank last month. The group was forced to cut their two-week trip short. A Western Pennsylvania gas company is facing criminal charges for a massive natural gas leak at a gas storage field. The plume of gas drifted across Pennsylvania, all the way to Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania recently voted to form a union and will soon negotiate a contract. They're looking to secure more job protections and better salaries among other things. We are in the grips of a heat wave. A heat advisory continues through 8 pm Wednesday, across all of Central Pennsylvania and much of the state. The Pennsylvania Game Commission voted unanimously Monday to open up 10 Sundays for hunting late this summer into fall. The 10 Sundays begin on September 14 and stretch through December 7. Employees at Lancaster County's Red Rose Transit Authority are working under a contract that expired in May, and their next steps are taking many twists and turns. Pennsylvania's Department of Conservation and Natural Resources recently released its Outdoor Recreation Plan, which outlines the state's goals for expanding outdoor recreation over the next five years. The comprehensive plan - called Outdoor Places, Shared Spaces - includes 14 goals and 55 action steps.

My guest for this episode is author and historian Karl Bell, who joined me to talk about his new book, The Perilous Deep: A Supernatural History of the Atlantic. Karl is Associate Professor in Cultural and Social History and Co-Director of the Centre for Port Cities and Maritime Cultures at the University of Portsmouth. Prior to his latest work, he wrote The Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack, which was winner of the 2013 Katharine Briggs Award. As its title mentions, The Perilous Deep focuses on the Atlantic Ocean. This is a place whose vastness and unfathomable depths have inspired tales of ghost ships, reports of encounters with mermaids and sea monsters, and legends of mysterious islands for centuries. These stories were told by both seafarers and coastal communities and formed an important part of their culture. In the book, Karl explores why these stories were told, how they were repeated and mutated and what fears, anxieties and desires they helped to express. It offers an insight into the supernatural history of the Atlantic Ocean and some of its neighbouring seas, showing how seafaring peoples have developed knowledge and a sense of control over nature through myths and legends. The Perilous Deep is published by Reaktion Books - further details are available at https://reaktionbooks.co.uk/work/the-perilous-deep.

Vinho Verde is one of the best-known wines from Portugal. It comes from the Northwest portion of Portugal. The area is green because of its Atlantic Ocean influences as well as denoting the “green” wine that is made from grapes that are less than fully ripe. It comes in both red, white, and rose'. The red wines are mostly consumed locally and is an extremely fruity wine. The white wines are typically blends made from a slew of local grape varieties. The area gets a lot of rain. The proximity to the ocean and the elevation is the two main influences on the vineyards. Tonight, we are enjoying:2024 Roseta Vinho Rose. I purchased at Trader Joe's for $5.99. The Now And Zin Wine website says the wine has a slight frizzante, and nose of ripe red strawberries and cherries, with floral notes in the background. Tastes of red fruit, with delicate citrus coming later. Very refreshing, especially with the slight carbonation.This wine is unique with a slight fiz (carbonation). It's main flavor is strawberry and cherry, but it is a subdued flavor and not over-powering. We both gave the wine a 3-rating. While it is not my type of wine, but I think some people would really enjoy. Next week we will start atwo-week exploration of Portugal.

Shorebirds appear plentiful on any visit to the beach. But their habitat is under threat from climate change and the legacy of a Great Depression-era work program. This is the last in our series of episodes spotlighting the Bay Journal documentary film, "Chesapeake Rhythms."

Tonight, we return to South Africa to taste two blended red wines. The first is a Shiraz-based blend from the Stellenbosch Region of the Western Cape. The second wine is mostly a Bordeaux Blend of Cabernet-Merlot.These wines basically come from different sides of a mountain. The Shiraz blend comes from the cooler Stellenbosch area.The Franschhoek (FRAHN-SHOOK) wine valley is a French area. Black Elephant focuses on French wine grapes, as does the whole valley. Mountains surround the valley on three sides and is very beautiful.The Dutch were brought in to help reclaim the wet swampy area of Bordeaux, France that bordered the Atlantic Ocean. When large numbers of French left France in the 1600's and 1700's, some chose to come to South Africa and brought grapes with them. This area became a popular place for the French to settle. Tonight, we are enjoying:2019 Thelema Mountain Red. This wine was purchased at Wine Styles for around $18. Aromas of juicy black fruit, mulberries, plums, and hints of warm spice. It spent 18 months in older French barrels. Grown in a cooler climate. The wine has pH of 3.51 and 2.2 g/l residual sugar. 57% Shiraz, 21% Grenache, and 22% Petit Verdot. The wine has 14.0% alcohol. Pairs with pizza or BBQ.2023 Black Elephant Three Men In A Tub With a Rubber Duck Red Wine Blend. This wine was purchased from Wine Styles for around $17. In addition to having a very long name, it has aromas of fresh-picked red berries and vanilla. Medium-body with bright acidity and flavors of cherry, liquorice, and violets. It is a 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 2% Mourvedre. 13% alcohol. The wine comes from the Franschhoek Valley region.We gave both wines a 3 rating. I believe the Thelema could have improved with some additional aging as it was still rather bright. The Three Men in a Tub, I was close to a 2 and believe you can find a similar wine for at a cheaper price.Next week we will taste a single varietal Monastrell from Spain.

In this compelling episode, Jeff Bloomfield sits down with tech executive, entrepreneur, and resilience coach Mohamed F. Ahmed. From the moment a curious mistake with a floppy disk nearly wrecked his dad's $10,000 PC—and unexpectedly ignited a lifelong passion for computers—to launching and selling a successful startup, Mo shares the deeper, human story behind innovation and leadership. You'll hear how emotional intelligence, mindset, and adaptability outweigh strategy in both startups and big corporations, and why conditioning your inner world may be the most important skill for the future of work and AI. This isn't your typical tech talk. Mo opens up about the moments that nearly broke him—and how emotional conditioning, not strategy, got him through. Whether you're launching a startup, innovating inside a big company, or just trying to stay sane in the chaos, this episode is a masterclass in mindset, resilience, and the real inner game of success. Entrepreneurship starts inside: Your mindset and emotional conditioning matter more than your business model. Corporate vs. startup = Pool vs. ocean: Corporate feels like a swim lane; startups are like the Atlantic Ocean at night—no map, no guardrails. Emotional regulation is a learned skill: Mo went from 4 weeks of emotional paralysis to 2 hours of recovery by learning to process feelings fast. Identity ≠ job title: Don't let your business define your worth. Purpose fuels resilience: Your “why” is your survival kit when things go wrong. AI is a collaborator, not a competitor: The winners will be those who use AI to think, plan, and act faster—not those who fear it. Use AI to reflect: Mo journals daily and uses Claude or ChatGPT to analyze his week and optimize decisions. Sales is psychology, not just pitching: Reframe rejection as feedback and stay emotionally neutral. Curiosity trumps control: Mo's career began when his dad turned a moment of anger into a shared learning journey. The next wave is “AI-native entrepreneurs”: Founders using AI as a creative partner are building faster, smarter companies. 00:00 – Intro and Seattle weather joke 02:45 – Jeff explains show format and target audience 05:00 – Corporate innovation vs. entrepreneurship 08:00 – Mo's origin story: From floppy disks to a PhD 13:00 – Lessons from Mo's dad: 10X thinking and 20,000 books 17:00 – First emotional crash in startup life 20:45 – Resilience in action: From panic to pitch in 2 hours 23:30 – The Entrepreneurial Conditioning Framework 26:00 – Identity, mindset, and daily mental practices 30:50 – Making time for thinking in the chaos of leadership 34:00 – Sales psychology and rejection reframing 35:15 – Startups vs. big corporations: Speed and chaos 41:00 – The future of AI: From compression to companion 46:00 – Mo's son + AI = 2-month project done in 1 week 49:00 – Will AI steal jobs or create new ones? 52:00 – Boundless Founder and The Inside Out Entrepreneur Boundless Founder Community: https://boundlessfounder.co Why You Should ListenTop 10 TakeawaysChapter MarkingsLinks MentionedBook – The Inside Out Entrepreneur: Available now on Amazon

The European Space Agency plans to use satellite gravity data to track weakening ocean circulation systems. Rory Bingham of the University of Bristol explains how these satellites can ‘weigh' the Earth's water and might help resolve whether we're approaching the climate tipping point of a shutdown of ocean circulation in the Atlantic Ocean, something we've been following for a while. Scientists have been able to retrieve ancient proteins from fossilized tooth enamel in the Canadian High Arctic. Ryan Sinclair Paterson from the University of Copenhagen tells us how he can fill in the blanks of the molecular tree of life with these proteins from over 20 million years ago. A few weeks ago, we discussed evidence of an impact of a massive crater in northwestern Australia from over 3 billion years ago. However, recent independent evidence from another team of geologists indicate that the size and age of this crater's impact may not be what some had previously thought. Alec Brenner of Yale University talks us through his analysis of the geologic evidence. Finally, we rediscover a forgotten pioneer of fusion science. Mark Cavendish discusses the research done by then-graduate student Arthur Ruhlig that helped develop the hydrogen bomb and thermonuclear physics.

It took almost 13 years and over 2,000 miles for a message by a couple in Canada to reach its destination. In September 2012, Brad and Anita went on a day trip to Bell Island in Newfoundland; they wrote a message and put it in a bottle and despatched it into the Atlantic Ocean. The bottle was found by Kate Gay on Scraggane Bay, Maharees. Jerry spoke to Kay and another member of Creative Ireland Neart na Macharaí, Martha Farrell. The interview prompted Vera to get in touch with her own message in a bottle story.

Send us a textHave you ever felt that gnawing sensation when something that once filled you with excitement now feels like a chore? That uncomfortable feeling might be the universe's way of telling you it's time to spread your wings.In this deeply personal episode, I share the powerful revelations that came to me during a sunrise swim in the Atlantic Ocean on a pivotal 7-7 portal day. As waves crashed around me—some gently lifting me, others knocking me down—I recognized how perfectly they mirrored my recent spiritual journey in Florida.For months, I'd been clinging to situations and teachings that no longer resonated, convinced that letting go would somehow mean failure. What I discovered instead was a profound truth from ancient wisdom: "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear; when the student is truly ready, the teacher will disappear."This episode explores the delicate balance between dedication and attachment. I reveal how my Enneagram 8 tendencies toward control had kept me pushing others toward paths that weren't theirs to walk, and how learning to trust my own discernment finally freed me to recognize when seasons had changed.Whether you're questioning your current path, feeling stuck in old patterns, or sensing that something new is calling you forward, this conversation offers compassionate guidance for distinguishing between the comfort of familiarity and the joy of authentic growth. Learn why true teachers ignite passion rather than demand compliance, and how recognizing when to move on isn't abandonment—it's graduation.Join me in exploring how we can honor what we've learned while courageously stepping toward what's next. Your next level of awakening might be waiting just beyond what you're willing to release.Support the show

I'm on the Atlantic Ocean somewhere between Canada and Maine this week (Melanie opted out of the trip because of the aforementioned ocean), so we recorded this episode before I left Birmingham, and we asked our friend Cole Cubelic - who is one of our all-time favorite people - to join us.

You know, when I was growing up, it was a pretty long trip to get to the ocean. I grew up in Illinois, so we didn't have a lot of ocean experience. Needless to say, when I lived along the East Coast for over 20 years, I became fascinated with the ocean. I still love to watch it, I love to walk along the beach, I love to romp in the waves a little, but I haven't gotten used to those big breakers rolling in. Hey, listen, I'm a lake boy, okay; a pool kid. But those big old waves, they make me feel as if they could pick me up and carry me all the way to England, which I would rather fly to anyway than go by way of the Atlantic Ocean. But I have good friends who really know what to do with those giant waves. They've taught me that what you do is you surf on it if you know how, and they're good at it. They wait for that big old curl to come roaring down on them, they leap on their surfboard and they ride that wave. Now, I see a mega wave as a threat. My friends? They see it as a vehicle. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Surfing the Wave That Could Sink You." Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Acts 8, and it talks about the day that a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem. All except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. It really sounds like a large wave coming in against God's people. But listen to what they did with it. "Those who had been scattered," chapter 8, verse 4 says, "preached the Word wherever they went." Now, here is this violent enemy attack on the infant church, and it forces the believers out of their little nest in Jerusalem. Probably losing their home, and their family connections, and possibly their job. What did they do? Did they sink? No, they surfed on that big wave! They started spreading the Gospel in all the places they were forced to go. Now, that's just what God had predicted in Acts 1:8, when He said, "You'll be My witnesses in Jerusalem, then Judea and Samaria, and in the uttermost parts of the earth." But they weren't leaving Jerusalem until this persecution hit. See, the attacks of the enemy often end up facilitating the plans of God (don't you love it?), because of how believers handle the heavy waves of crisis that come crashing toward them. You could do that. It's called capturing your crisis for Christ. This type of believer surfs on a wave of trouble instead of sinking under it. Let's fast-forward 2,000 years from the book of Acts to your life right now. You've got pressure. What's the wave that's coming in at you right now? You've got stress, you've got some anxiety. Can you see it? There's a crisis that's threatening you, or maybe a disappointment, or a disease, a disaster. Capture your crisis for Christ. Do what these early Christians did. They used it as a platform to proclaim Jesus. They said, "Well, if the crisis has forced me into a place I never wanted to be, I'm going to use this as a place to proclaim Christ." Basically, they believed that their situation was their assignment wherever God put them. See, the crises of life put us in positions where a lot of folks are watching what we do; where we meet new people, where we can find a platform for saying, "Jesus is enough, even in this; especially in this situation." Now, the enemy would love to use this wave that you see coming at you to sink you, but don't go down under it. Remember, your situation is your assignment from God. Do what the great surfers do! Ride on top of this wave; surf on it. Capture it for Christ.

Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) was an English statesman, author, soldier, explorer, and a favorite courtier of England's Tudor Queen, Elizabeth the First. One of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era, he played a leading part in English colonization of North America and helped defend England against the Spanish Armada. He was the younger half-brother of North American explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert and a cousin of adventurer Sir Richard Grenville.

Two stories from opposite sides of the globe have huge political implications today. First, in New York City, outsider candidate Zohran Mamdani pulled off a historic upset, defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for mayor. The seismic victory is sending shockwaves throughout American politics, with center-left Democrats gritting their teeth, progressives in a triumphant mood and Republicans lapping it all up. Across the Atlantic Ocean, President Donald Trump is at the NATO Summit at The Hague today, where he's expected to address the ongoing fallout from the U.S. strike on Iran and the fragile ceasefire between it and Israel. POLITICO White House reporter Megan Messerly joins Playbook author Jack Blanchard to unpack all that and more.

If you've never had the opportunity to learn the history behind opportune, now's your chance. Both opportune and opportunity come from Latin opportūnus, which can mean “favoring one's needs,” “serviceable,” or “convenient.” Opportūnus itself, constructed from the prefix ob-, meaning “to,” portu- (stem of the noun portus, meaning “port” or “harbor”), and the adjective suffix -nus, suggests the value of any port available when a storm is brewing or raging. Portus has dropped anchor in other English words as well, including portal, passport, and of course port. Its footprint is also scattered across our maps in coastal place names, from Newport to Puerto Rico to Porto Alegre.
