Meteorito grabado en video y sonido impacta en Canadá Un meteorito, pequeño pero viajando a 200 km/h, impactó en la entrada de la casa de Joe Velaidum en la isla del Príncipe Eduardo, Canadá. La cámara de seguridad de su hogar no solo grabó el momento exacto del impacto, sino también el sonido único que produjo al estrellarse contra el concreto.Flash Diario en Spotify.Este fragmento espacial, conocido como "condrita ordinaria", provenía del cinturón de asteroides entre Marte y Júpiter y podría haber sido mortal: Joe había estado parado en ese mismo lugar apenas dos minutos antes. Además de salvarse por poco, fue testigo del primer meteorito en la historia registrado con video y audio. ¿Qué nos dice esta roca cósmica sobre el universo y el azar? El azar y la ciencia chocan con el cosmos El 25 de julio de 2024, Joe Velaidum y Laura Kelly salieron a pasear a sus perros como cualquier tarde en Marshfield, Canadá. Al volver, se encontraron con polvo y piedras esparcidas por la entrada de su casa. Confundidos, pensaron que algo había caído del techo, pero al revisar la cámara de seguridad, descubrieron algo increíble. Una roca espacial había golpeado su entrada mientras ellos estaban fuera. En las imágenes se ve cómo la roca viaja rápidamente hacia el suelo, donde se pulveriza al impactar. El micrófono capturó un sonido peculiar: una mezcla de vidrio rompiéndose y hielo quebrándose. Se trataba de un fragmento de un meteorito viajando desde las profundidades del espacio hasta su hogar. El meteorito casi cambia la vida de Joe y Laura de forma trágica. Apenas dos minutos antes del impacto, Joe había estado recogiendo las correas de sus perros justo en el lugar donde la roca chocó. El meteorito, una condrita ordinaria de apenas 95 gramos, había viajado a través del cinturón de asteroides entre Marte y Júpiter durante millones de años. Al entrar a la atmósfera a 60,000 km/h, perdió el 90 % de su masa y redujo su velocidad a unos 200 km/h, pero aun así tenía la energía suficiente para causar graves daños. Chris Herd, experto en meteoritos de la Universidad de Alberta, explicó que incluso siendo pequeño, si hubiese golpeado a Joe, el impacto habría sido letal. Este tipo de eventos, aunque raros, nos recuerdan cuán vulnerables somos ante los caprichos del cosmos. Chris Herd, quien coincidió en estar de vacaciones en la isla del Príncipe Eduardo cuando ocurrió el evento, analizó los fragmentos y confirmó que era una condrita ordinaria. Este meteorito provenía del cinturón de asteroides y había tenido un "viaje complicado". Fragmentos microscópicos mostraron fracturas internas, señal de colisiones previas en el espacio, lo que explicaría por qué se pulverizó al impactar contra la entrada de concreto en lugar de quedarse relativamente intacto. Este hallazgo marcó tres hitos: el primer meteorito registrado en la isla del Príncipe Eduardo, el primero grabado en video y el primero con sonido capturado. Herd destacó que incluso el polvo recolectado por Joe y su familia comenzó a oxidarse rápidamente al contacto con la atmósfera terrestre, lo que hace que este tipo de descubrimientos requiera un tratamiento inmediato. Este impacto nos recuerda cuán pequeños somos en un universo tan vasto y lleno de sorpresas. Aunque encontrar meteoritos en áreas urbanas es raro, caen toneladas de material espacial en la Tierra cada día. Según la NASA, unas 48 toneladas de polvo y rocas entran a nuestra atmósfera diariamente, pero la mayoría se desintegra o termina en los océanos, que cubren el 71 % de nuestro planeta. En Canadá, solo se han documentado 68 meteoritos en toda su historia, y el impacto de Charlottetown es el primero registrado en la isla del Príncipe Eduardo. Otros eventos notables incluyen el meteorito de Cheliábinsk en Rusia en 2013, que causó daños masivos y lesiones a más de 1,000 personas. La cámara de seguridad de Joe no solo documentó este evento cósmico, sino que ayudó a la ciencia a comprender mejor estos raros sucesos.

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Chris Herd, Founder & CEO at Firstbase, who shares how Firstbase grew to an eight-figure ARR with a 2,500+% increase in inbounds. "If you want to replicate office working remotely, you probably shouldn't work remotely, because you're not leveraging the benefits. The benefits are you can hire people anywhere, you can hire the most talented people in the world not the most talented person you can afford in a certain mile radius of your office. You can put people in a position to do the best work that they've ever done in their lives because they can do their best work, organise their life around that, and work when they're most productive."

A few months later, in early 2020, much of the world went into lockdown.As the COVID-19 crisis approaches its 2nd full year, it's becoming increasingly clear that the way we work has changed, if not forever than for what's likely to be the next 5 or 10 years at least. This is especially true for knowledge workers.Technology as an enablerIt's kind of hard to imagine what this pandemic would've been like had it happened in, say, 1989.Tools and services like video conferencing, workplace chat, remote event/conference platforms, cloud storage, and others enable partially or fully-distributed work.Concerns about the role of tech"Zoom fatigue" and other phenomena are very real.Some companies are implementing systems to surveil workers.Flexibility as a mega-trend in knowledge workEspecially before vaccines became widely available, professionals often had to balance work, family, and personal needs all from one place: their homes. For folks with children, working adults needed to meet their professional obligations, while also serving as a teacher or supervisor of school-aged kids engaged in remote learning. These circumstances necessitated increased flexibility in work arrangements.With more time away from the office, more workers are coming to terms with the fact that commuting to an office and spending the majority of the day there has taken up a lot of mental bandwidth.Reading listIs Going To The Office A Broken Way of Working?

If remote work ever needed a spokesman my vote is for my next guest. Chris Herd is the founder and CEO of New York based FirstBase (firstbaseHQ.com)….which helps companies go “office-less instantly”.

Amina Moreau is a powerhouse of productivity. She runs several businesses including a film production company, a storytelling consulting firm, a music licensing company, and most recently Radious, which is like an Airbnb specifically for office space. She is also an avid tennis player and competes in competitions regularly. Amina shares why office space needs to have a fresh look and how her company plans to address the problems modern business people are currently facing. Key Takeaways Trip is reporting from a closet. He’s in a new house and his standing desk hasn’t arrived. Amina loves storytelling, psychology, and ethical persuasion. Although storytelling follows you wherever you go, no matter the project, Amina is finding a new space to break into and that’s office space. What’s so exciting about office space? Airbnb is often a bit overkill for a couple of founders looking to cowork together. The shared office spaces right now don’t feel very safe. Radious takes a different approach to office space. Office space concepts are outdated and do not reflect the times we’re in. Long leases? Nah. Is Radious competing with Airbnb? And, how are they different from a coworking space? How does Amina maintain quality in their workstations and spaces with their hosts? Do hosts have the right to say no to certain businesses? Amina shares her vision for the future of work and what we can expect in the coming years ahead. Are you a student that would like to learn about audio production, digital media, and more?

These events have highlighted deep problems with how we treat each other in many domains, and space exploration is not exempt. While we have been processing this in real-time, it has become obvious that we must do our part and use our platform to speak up against these inequalities and take action to stop them. We have been engaging with our Discord community this past week to come up with a plan. Many of these initiatives were developed not just by Jake and Anthony, but in partnership with the Patrons and listeners of our three podcasts. We’re proud that this is a community-led effort. We're also really proud that some of our listeners and colleagues have joined in to make this an even stronger initiative. Together, we're putting on a fundraiser to support Black organizations whose missions we believe in. All of the sponsors, including Jake and Anthony, will be matching contributions the community makes to both of these organizations through July 10. Jake and Anthony will match up to the total of this month’s revenue from Patreon (WeMartians, MECO), and other sponsors may have different max amounts. Thank you for helping us work together to make space better.

Your hosts: Lynn, Levon, Marie-Claude, Marc (Video of show at bottom) ListenEN_Interview_2-20181012-WIE20 Huge land tract to be under joint federal/Indigenous protection The Edéhzhíe Indigenous Protected Area/National Wildlife Area will conserve 14,249 square kilometres of boreal forest and will be jointly managed by Dehcho First Nations and the federal government. (Bill Carpenter/Dehcho First Nations) A new deal between the federal government and an Indigenous group in north-western Canada will see over 14,000 square kilometres of land protected from development. More than half of the Edéhzhíe area, a plateau that rises out of the Mackenzie Valley to the west of Great Slave Lake will come under joint management of the Dehcho First Nations and the federal government. The area will be known as the Edéhzhíe Indigenous Protected Area/National Wildlife Area. Levon spoke with Dahti Tsetso, resource manager and director of the Dehcho K’éhodi Stewardship and Guardians program that will manage the new protected area. UN says disaster costs are increasing world-wide Floods like this one in Grand Forks, British Columbia on May 17, 2018 are a major factor in the rising costs of disasters in Canada. (Jonathan Hayward/The Canadian Press) The UN report said the cost of natural disasters between 1998 and 2017, was 151 per cent greater than the preceding 20-year period. The report says more than three quarters of the billions of dollars of damage can be associated with climate-change Lynn spoke to Glenn McGillivray, managing director of the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction, an insurance industry funded operation affiliated with Western University in London Ontario.. Learning more about the Martian moons A Canadian researcher and a Canadian meteorite have helped change the theory about the origin of the Martian moons (NASA-JPL-Caltech-Malin Space Science Systems-Texas A&M Univ) Canada has one of the most, if not the most unique, meteorites in the world. In 2000, a large meteorite blew up over British Columbia. The fragments fell on frozen Tagish Lake. The unique thing is that they were frozen when they landed, and have been kept frozen, which has preserved many fascinating elements classed as building blocks of life. However, that's not involved in this test. The University of Alberta's Tagish Lake meteorite is very dark and it was used in an experiment regarding the Martian moons, which are also very dark. Measuring the amount of light reflected from the meteorite, and that of the moons, it is now believed they are not captured asteroids, but rather bits of Mars itself shaved off in some giant collision billions of years ago. Marc spoke with professor Chris Herd, who was involved in the research. He is the curator of the University of Alberta Meteorite Collection and a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta.

We recap Next Level Fight Club's best card yet by highlighting four incredible finishes. We talk with Chris Herd, whose 13-second knockout was one of the night's most memorable, interview Cody Maltais, who guillotined his opponent in his return to the cage after a two-year absence, and shout out a few other insane finishes (like Allen Crowder's crazy slam knockout and Anthony Wright's guillotining his opponent to sleep). It's also the return of Trevor Hayes, who cornered two fighters on this card. It was supposed to be three -- find out what happened.
