James Edward Kamis is a retired Geologist with forty-two years of experience. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Northern Illinois University and a Master of Science degree in Geology from Idaho State University. More than forty-six years of research has convinced him that geological forces significantly influence, or in some cases, completely control climate, and climate-related events as per his Plate Climatology Theory.00:00 Introduction to the Mysterious Drone Lights00:21 Geological Explanation for the Lights02:26 Continental Drift and Rock Stress04:46 Earthquakes and Light Sightings07:23 Heat Emissions and Hydrothermal Vents12:50 Quartz and Energy Pulses20:05 Historical and Recent Sightings26:01 Government and Military InvolvementJune 2023 book by James E.

This week Sarah Muir and David Broomfield head over the Europe. What's behind the recent strong performance of European equities and how sustainable is it? And as coalition negotiations commence, what does the future hold for the region's main economic motor, Germany?This week's quick fire numbers are 50,000 km and 105 billion.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we explore three significant stories shaping our world. The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the financial landscape of X (formerly Twitter), where Morgan Stanley leads a consortium of banks preparing to sell billions in Musk-related debt at a discounted rate, reflecting the platform's challenging journey since its $44 billion acquisition. We then transitions to examining the growing momentum of the four-day workweek movement in the UK, where 200 companies across various sectors are pioneering this revolutionary approach to work-life balance, despite some implementation challenges.And finally, we conclude with an extraordinary geological discovery - the Davis Strait proto-microcontinent, hidden beneath the waters between Greenland and Canada. This remarkable formation, spanning 400 kilometers with a continental crust thickness of 19-24 kilometers, provides unprecedented insights into Earth's tectonic history. The microcontinent's formation process, which began 118 million years ago, serves as a pristine example of continental breakup mechanisms and offers valuable clues about our planet's future geological evolution.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/banks-selling-x-debt-Twz2jcL4RfiYdBIjE91HZAhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/uks-four-day-workweek-push-4kKE6f18TJmxjFlwdTjKAQ ​​https://www.perplexity.ai/page/new-microcontinent-discovered-_EQhEW.7QR6DtKUViXRXzgPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Show follows Beacon family's move to Africa Many Americans bluster about leaving the country over political tension and other heated issues, but in 2021, the Smiley family of Beacon bailed for Zambia. Their participation in an HBO Max show about four families that became expats in various parts of Africa, Coming from America, which began streaming last month, came through happenstance. Evidenced by a Zoom call and the family's social media channels, the Smileys are living up to their name and enjoying a laid-back lifestyle. The family appears to have seamlessly integrated into the daily rhythms of the country's capital, Lusaka (population 3 million). Their new home also serves as a launchpad to tour the world, and they have returned stateside for visits (school-age children, River and William, attend a Beacon summer camp). The family still owns a house on Jackson Avenue, which is rented out. When asked if they plan to return, Gabe slowly shakes his head, "No." Elaine looks wistful. She misses her family in Brooklyn and upstate, but her mother, Marjorie Baynes, overcame a fear of flying and joins them on some jaunts. After meeting in Brooklyn, the couple found themselves priced out. Eight years ago, they moved north after discovering Beacon during upstate escapes to ride bicycles. Elaine worked a health care job in Manhattan, Gabe as a career counselor at the Poughkeepsie Day School. He says they became increasingly uncomfortable with "racism, generally, and volatile politics" and began looking for a job abroad. After getting an offer in Belgium and another at Lusaka International Community School, they jumped into the heart of Africa. Then, a friend of a friend told them about the Max show and helped make it happen. "I love Beacon, it's a bubble," says Elaine. "It's progressive and all, but I felt tokenized." Shortly before the move, though, she met a lot of "women of color with similar lefty values whom I wish I'd met years ago," which softened her views. But she also mentions "Karens" and the "white cop on the corner." Their social media videos tick off some things they miss (tacos and sidewalks) and others that they were glad to jettison (commuting and the rat race). Instagram videos show them zipping around on four-wheel dirt bikes and visiting their adopted country's Kafue National Park. Over three years, they've racked up mileage points jetting to the Philippines and just about every country that surrounds landlocked Zambia, which is centrally located in the continent's sub-Saharan southern section. Elaine took a solo birthday trip to Mauritius. Now that they're outside the U.S. looking in, they sometimes find it hard to describe their feelings. "In Zambia, there's classism, but no internalized racism and no ultra-macho attitudes," says Elaine. "People are calm. Almost everyone is Black and, for me, that's empowering. I can wear my hair any way I want." Before the move, friends and relatives gave them an earful. Someone asked Elaine: "What are you going to do, sell mangoes on the street?" Hardly: The couple created the Zambridgian Leather Co. The name, which mashes up Zambia and Gabe's hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts, hints at a metaphoric span between countries and continents. Besides Elaine's mom, the Smileys' friends and neighbors from Beacon, Matthew Condon and his 91-year-old mother, Nancy, have visited twice and plan to return this month. The Condons have taken a safari, swam in the Devil's Pool, visited Victoria Falls and walked with lion cubs. "It's a wonderful, stress-free place; they're so relaxed over there," Matthew says. Condon recalled visiting a high-end steakhouse "where you could cut the meat with a fork because there's no steroids." The check was $100 for six adults and two children. There are downsides, like bad sushi, power outages and the locals' surprise that they take their dog, Mango, on walks. But Gabe, who is seven minutes by foot from work, thinks the family made the right decision. "We...

Do we know what the rivers flowing out of Eden are and is there any significance to it? Was there one big supercontinent at one point, and if so, did Noah's flood cause the split? Never would I think that these questions would generate such fun and enthusiastic dialogue among the group.

In the early 20th century, a meteorologist named Alfred Wegener noticed striking similarities between the coasts of Africa and South America. These observations led him to propose a controversial new theory: perhaps these and many other continents had once been connected in a single, gigantic landmass. Wegener's Theory of Continental Drift directly contradicted the popular opinion that Earth's continents had remained steady for millennia, and it took almost 50 years for his advocates to convince the larger scientific community. But today, we know something even more exciting— Pangea was only the latest in a long lineage of supercontinents, and it won't be the last.20 世纪初，一位名叫阿尔弗雷德·韦格纳 (Alfred Wegener) 的气象学家注意到非洲和南美洲海岸之间惊人的相似之处。这些观察使他提出了一个有争议的新理论：也许这些大陆和许多其他大陆曾经连接在一个巨大的大陆上。韦格纳的大陆漂移理论直接与地球大陆几千年来保持稳定的流行观点相矛盾，他的支持者花了将近 50 年的时间才说服更大的科学界。但是今天，我们知道了一些更令人兴奋的事情——盘古大陆只是一长串超级大陆中最新的一个，而且不会是最后一个。Continental Drift laid the foundation for our modern theory of plate tectonics, which states that Earth's crust is made of vast, jagged plates that shift over a layer of partially molten rock called the mantle. These plates only move at rates of around 2.5 to 10 centimeters per year, but those incremental movements shape the planet's surface. So to determine when a new supercontinent will emerge, we need to predict where these plates are headed.大陆漂移为我们的现代板块构造理论奠定了基础，该理论指出地壳由巨大的锯齿状板块组成，这些板块在称为地幔的部分熔融岩石层上方移动。这些板块每年仅以约 2.5 至 10 厘米的速度移动，但这些增量运动塑造了地球表面。因此，要确定新的超大陆何时出现，我们需要预测这些板块的走向。One approach here is to look at how they've moved in the past. Geologists can trace the position of continents over time by measuring changes in Earth's magnetic field. When molten rock cools, its magnetic minerals are “frozen” at a specific point in time. So by calculating the direction and intensity of a given rock's magnetic field, we can discover the latitude at which it was located at the time of cooling. But this approach has serious limitations. For one thing, a rock's magnetic field doesn't tell us the plate's longitude, and the latitude measurement could be either north or south. Worse still, this magnetic data gets erased when the rock is reheated, like during continental collisions or volcanic activity. So geologists need to employ other methods to reconstruct the continents' positions. Dating local fossils and comparing them to the global fossil record can help identifying previously connected regions. The same is true of cracks and other deformations in the Earth's crust, which can sometimes be traced across plates.这里的一种方法是查看它们过去的移动方式。地质学家可以通过测量地球磁场的变化来追踪大陆随时间的位置。当熔岩冷却时，其磁性矿物会在特定时间点“冻结”。因此，通过计算给定岩石磁场的方向和强度，我们可以发现它在冷却时所处的纬度。但这种方法有严重的局限性。一方面，岩石的磁场并不能告诉我们板块的经度，纬度测量值可能是北也可能是南。更糟糕的是，当岩石被重新加热时，这些磁性数据会被删除，比如在大陆碰撞或火山活动期间。因此，地质学家需要采用其他方法来重建大陆的位置。确定当地化石的年代并将它们与全球化石记录进行比较可以帮助识别以前连接的区域。地壳中的裂缝和其他变形也是如此，有时可以跨越板块追踪。Using these tools, scientists have pieced together a relatively reliable history of plate movements, and their research revealed a pattern spanning hundreds of millions of years. What's now known as the Wilson Cycle predicts how continents diverge and reassemble. And it currently predicts the next supercontinent will form 50 to 250 million years from now. We don't have much certainty on what that landmass will look like. It could be a new Pangea that emerges from the closing of the Atlantic. Or it might result from the formation of a new Pan-Asian ocean. But while its shape and size remain a mystery, we do know these changes will impact much more than our national borders.使用这些工具，科学家们拼凑出了相对可靠的板块运动历史，他们的研究揭示了一种跨越数亿年的模式。现在被称为威尔逊循环的东西预测了大陆是如何分开和重新组合的。它目前预测下一个超级大陆将在 50 到 2.5 亿年后形成。我们不太确定那块大陆会是什么样子。它可能是大西洋关闭后出现的新盘古大陆。或者它可能是新泛亚洋形成的结果。但是，尽管它的形状和大小仍然是个谜，但我们知道这些变化的影响将远远超过我们的国界。In the past, colliding plates have caused major environmental upheavals. When the Rodinia supercontinent broke up circa 750 million years ago, it left large landmasses vulnerable to weathering. This newly exposed rock absorbed more carbon dioxide from rainfall, eventually removing so much atmospheric CO2 that the planet was plunged into a period called Snowball Earth. Over time, volcanic activity released enough CO2 to melt this ice, but that process took another 4 to 6 million years. Meanwhile, when the next supercontinent assembles, it's more likely to heat things up. Shifting plates and continental collisions could create and enlarge cracks in the Earth's crust, potentially releasing huge amounts of carbon and methane into the atmosphere. This influx of greenhouse gases would rapidly heat the planet, possibly triggering a mass extinction. The sheer scale of these cracks would make them almost impossible to plug, and even if we could, the resulting pressure would just create new ruptures.过去，板块碰撞曾造成重大的环境剧变。大约 7.5 亿年前，当罗迪尼亚超级大陆分裂时，大片大陆容易受到风化作用的影响。这块新暴露的岩石从降雨中吸收了更多的二氧化碳，最终去除了如此多的大气中的二氧化碳，以至于地球陷入了一个被称为雪球地球的时期。随着时间的推移，火山活动释放出足够的二氧化碳来融化这些冰，但这个过程又需要 4 到 600 万年。同时，当下一个超级大陆聚集时，它更有可能使事情升温。移动的板块和大陆碰撞可能会在地壳中产生和扩大裂缝，可能会向大气中释放大量的碳和甲烷。温室气体的涌入将迅速加热地球，可能引发大规模灭绝。这些裂缝的巨大规模使它们几乎不可能被堵塞，即使我们可以，由此产生的压力只会造成新的破裂。Fortunately, we have at least 50 million years to come up with a solution here, and we might already be onto something. In Iceland, recently conducted trials were able to store carbon in basalt, rapidly transforming these gases into stone. So it's possible a global network of pipes could redirect vented gases into basalt outcrops, mitigating some of our emissions now and protecting our supercontinental future.幸运的是，我们至少有 5000 万年的时间来找到解决方案，而且我们可能已经有所作为。在冰岛，最近进行的试验能够将碳储存在玄武岩中，迅速将这些气体转化为石头。因此，全球管道网络有可能将排出的气体重新定向到玄武岩露头，从而减少我们现在的一些排放并保护我们超大陆的未来。

In this edition of the BFG podcast–now with vastly improved sound quality!–host Neal Pollack welcomes the well-read Michael Washburn to discuss the work and legacy of the novelist Russell Banks, who died recently at the age of 82. Michael and Neal have nothing but praise for Banks's two best-known novels, Affliction and The Sweet Hereafter, both of which became popular and critically-acclaimed movies. But they also recommend you check out his novel Continental Drift, and Michael has special affection for Banks's short stories, which so accurately describe the struggles of working-class New Hampshire residents. They aren't so keen on his later works, when Banks drifted away from what he knows best, but he still leaves behind a literary legacy worth celebrating.Aubrey Plaza is just getting started with her legacy, and Neal welcomes Rachel Llewellyn to talk about Plaza's new indie film 'Emily the Criminal,' now streaming on Netflix. Neal loves the show's gritty crime-drama feel, which resembles breaking bad, and praises Plaza's nuanced performance, which carries the movie above the usual genre fare. Rachel also mentions Plaza's work in Black Bear, Neal talks about her in Ingrid Goes West, and it's probably pretty certain that The White Lotus comes up at some point. It's not as though Aubrey Plaza is some sort of hidden gem, she's quite famous at this point, but her cultural footprint will certainly only grow from here.Rachel sticks around to talk about 'The Rig,' a new eco-sci-fi thriller series now airing on Amazon Prime. She praises the way the show tackles difficult issues with subtlety, and then occasionally it sounds like an extended Facebook thread argument about climate change. But creator David MacPherson grew up around Scottish oil workers, so he understands their politics and their point of view on the world much better than the average script writer would. A very tense ocean thriller that does not, according to Rachel, feature The Loch Ness Monster.

We remember novelist Russell Banks, whose working-class background inspired much of his work. His best known novels were adapted into films, including Affliction, The Sweet Hereafter, and Continental Drift. We'll listen back to portions of our interviews with him. Also, we're revisiting our interview with photographer Larry Sultan, whose photographic memoir of growing up in California in the '50s and '60s is the basis of a new Broadway show starring Nathan Lane. Maureen Corrigan reviews the novel Sam by Allegra Goodman. And Justin Chang reviews No Bears, the Iranian film that's been on his year-end best list.

Episode: 2188 The day the earth moved: plate tectonics and the right question.  Today, our guest, geologist Peter Copeland tries to ask the right question.

In 1910, a German Earth scientist noticed something about the map of the world. South America seemed to fit into Africa. North America seemed to fit into northwest Africa and Europe.  He proposed that the continents may at one time have been joined and subsequently moved.  The scientific community laughed at him and rejected his idea.

In this latest episode, Chris and Alex examine one of the most important animation companies of the last 20 years in Hollywood – Blue Sky Studios – who made significant contributions to the shape and direction of U.S. animation, and particularly the computer-animated film. Formed in February 1987 by animator Chris Wedge, the studio recently hit the headlines as they are now sadly in the past tense – The Walt Disney Company acquired Blue Sky as part of their 2019 purchase of 21st Century Fox and then, in February 2021, announced that Blue Sky would be shut down as an animation division. This episode looks back at Blue Sky's 2011 computer-animated musical Rio (Carlos Saldanha, 2011) with special guest Michael Tanzillo, who worked as a Senior Lighting Technical Director at Blue Sky on a number of computer-animated films, including three of the Ice Age films (Dawn of the Dinosaurs in 2009; Continental Drift in 2012 and Collision Course in 2016), both Rio and its 2014 sequel, The Peanuts Movie (Steve Martino, 2015), Ferdinand (Carlos Saldanha, 2017), and Spies in Disguise (Nick Bruno & Troy Quane, 2019). He is also the co-author, with Jasmine Katatikarn, of the book Lighting For Animation: The Art of Visual Storytelling (2016), and co-founder of the Academy of Animated Arts, an online academy teaching the artistic side of Animation and VFX. Listen as the trio discuss Blue Sky's origins and influences on twenty-first century Hollywood animation; the studio's commercial work and early animated advertisements; the craft of 3D lighting in computer-animated films, and its foundational role in creating mood, volume, weight, and legibility; Rio's two blue macaw protagonists (Blu and Jewel) and traditions of anthropomorphism; the film's articulation of Brazilian culture through colour scripts and colour keys; lighting contrasts and the distinctions between ‘heroic' and ‘villainous' lighting; and what Rio's sumptuous fantasy of light can tell us about sophisticated digital lighting as a storytelling device. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo**

Russell Banks in books such as ‘Continental Drift', ‘Affliction' and ‘The Sweet Hereafter' has long chronicled the struggles and inner torment that come with being a member of our dispossessed working class. In his new novel, ‘Foregone', he turns his lens on the inner life of artists, in this case a well-known documentary filmmaker Leonard Fife. Fife, who fled to Canada, supposedly to avoid the draft, is dying from the ravages of cancer. He is confined to a wheelchair, wracked by pain, pumped full of medications, and unable to eat solid food. His final desire, in front of a camera, is to expose to his wife of 40 years the lies and myths that he has spun to create a fictional persona, perhaps a curse of all who become public figures. He confesses in his final hours to two previously failed marriages and two children he left behind before fleeing to Canada, not to avoid the draft but to escape the emptiness and purposelessness of his existence. The novel explores the tricks of memory, the way proximity to wealth suffocates and corrupts us, the mutations of self that estrange us from those we once knew and loved, the deep fear we all have of being unloved, and the heady idealism that is at once the charm and curse of youth. Russell Banks's new book is ‘Foregone'.

New continent. New stoke. New Hot Saddle segment. Same old humbling gratitude.

Kevin Fong looks beyond the failure of Robert Falcon Scott's expedition to be the first to reach the South Pole and focuses instead on the scientific legacy of Scott's explorations of Antarctica between 1901 and 1912.In recent years, much has been written about Scott the polar loser and bungler. But that personalised focus ignores the pioneering scientific research and discoveries. The revelations transformed Antarctica from an unknown quantity on the map into a profoundly important continent in the Earth's past and present. Before Scott and Shackleton trekked across the vast ice sheets in the early 1900s, no-one was sure whether there was even a continent there. Some geographers had suggested Antarctica was merely a vast raft of ice anchored to a scattering of islands. The science teams on Scott's expeditions made fundamental discoveries about Antarctic weather and began to realise the frozen continent's fundamental role in global climate and ocean circulation. They discovered rocks and fossils which showed Antarctica was once a balmy forested place. They mapped the magnetism around the South Pole for both science and navigators. They found many new species of animals and revealed the extraordinary winter breeding habits of the penguins. The dedication to scientific discovery is most poignantly revealed by fossils that Scott's party collected after their disappointment of being beaten by Amundsen and a few weeks before they froze to death trudging across the Ross ice shelf. They found a particular plant fossil which had been one of the Holy Grails on the early explorations of Antarctica's interior. Its discovery proved an hypothesis raised by Darwin among others that all the southern continents were once linked together by a landmass that would lain where Antarctica is today. The fossils were also important evidence to support the new and controversial theory of Continental Drift - a theory which now underpins the entirety of modern Earth science.(Image: Captain Robert Falcon Scott writing at a table in his quarters at the British base camp in Antarctica.
