* On the 150th Anniversary of the Proclamation, the Surprising Truth: With yesterday (January 1st, 2023) being the 160th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, we are going back to a broadcast classic where Bob Enyart and guest Jamie Schofield analyze the meaning and actual intent of that sad document. For this was no abolitionist policy (as a contemporaneous report in the Rocky Mountain News makes clear), but an example of moral compromise that ended in failure. Today's Resource: The Plot | Second Edition!The Bible Gets Easier to Understand: Apparent contradictions plague many Bible students. The Plot demonstrates how hundreds of such contradictions disappear when the reader applies the big picture of the Bible to its details. Tunnel vision focuses so narrowly on a problem that the solution often lies just out of view. As the pastor of Denver Bible Church, Bob Enyart teaches Christians how to use the whole counsel of God to understand the plot of the Bible and solve biblical mysteries. (Missionaries in Costa Rica effectively use the Spanish translation, La Trama.) Available as either book or PDF download. The Plot: 2nd Edition Just before his passing, Bob finished the second edition of his manuscript, The Plot. While sadly he didn't live long enough to see the work published, He did get it out just in time. His second edition includes ten years worth of updates, revisions, additional sections and updated graphics. Now, a year after his passing, it has been made available to the public! Get your copy now... The Proclamation was actually comprised of two announcements, not just one.  The first half – the preliminary proclamation – set the policy and gave a deadline of 100 days.  It was addressed not to the common citizens of the nation or to the Union military, but rather to the states in rebellion at that time.  What was Lincoln's declared policy on slavery at that time?  He made that very clear in a letter to Horace Greeley on Aug. 22, 1862, just days before the issuance of the preliminary proclamation: If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. . . . I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. Lincoln's goal was not the abolition of slavery but rather the preservation of the Union, and if that meant keeping slaves in bondage everywhere, he would support and practice exactly that.  And this non-abolitionist stance is reflected in the text of the Emancipation Proclamation.The Preliminary Proclamation, September, 1862 In short, the stated intent and purpose of this policy was to offer the Confederate states the opportunity to keep their slaves if they would choose to stop rebelling within a 100-day deadline.  Essentially, it said that if your state ceases its rebellion against the union, you may keep your slaves. I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States... That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; Any state still in rebellion against the Union on Jan. 1 would be subject to the Proclamation, which would declare any current slaves in those areas to be free.  The stated goal was not to free any slaves, but rather to preserve the Union.  Was it a success?  Before hearing the answer, Bob predicted that such a policy would bear no fruit, and he was right.  In fact, not a single state took Lincoln up on his offer.  By its own standard, the Proclamation was an abject failure!  In fact, all the proclamation did in that regard was to infuriate the Confederate states more than ever, deepening their resolve to reject the Union. Perhaps even worse, the preliminary proclamation also explicitly ordered slaves to be returned to their slave owners in specific circumstances, thus actually ordering the enforcement of keeping such men in bondage: Sec.10. And be it further enacted, That no slave escaping into any State, Territory, or the District of Columbia, from any other State, shall be delivered up, or in any way impeded or hindered of his liberty, except for crime, or some offence against the laws, unless the person claiming said fugitive shall first make oath that the person to whom the labor or service of such fugitive is alleged to be due is his lawful owner, and has not borne arms against the United States in the present rebellion, nor in any way given aid and comfort thereto; In other words, if a slave escaped to an area controlled by the Union, all a Southern slave owner had to do was show up, give an oath (no evidence required) that he was the lawful owner of that slave, and swear that he had never taken up arms against the Union, and then “here's your slave back.” The Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, 1863 This document was the culmination of the policy already given 100 days earlier.  Not a single Confederate state had taken Lincoln's offer to cease rebellion and keep their slaves.  Therefore, this document declared (largely symbolically) the slaves in those non-Union-controlled areas to be free.  But, at the same time, and as one should expect in such a compromised and non-abolitionist policy, it also explicitly listed all of the areas in the U.S. where slaves would be kept in bondage.  Thus, this policy actually authorized the continuing wicked enslavement of innocent men, women and children, for example in many counties in Louisiana, especially around New Orleans, as well as in the newly-forming West Virginia. Many abolitionists of the day decried the Emancipation Proclamation, rightly pointing out its moral compromise.  Lincoln's own secretary of state, William Seward, commented that "We show our sympathy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free."  Unlike Lincoln, Seward knew the atrocities of slavery firsthand, having been raised by a slave-owning family.  "I early came to the conclusion that something was wrong... and [that] determined me to be an abolitionist." On the other hand, in their coverage of the Proclamation, the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News here in Colorado celebrated on their front page the fact that this policy was not abolitionist, and mocked abolitionists who disagreed with it, praising Lincoln for going against the “radical” abolitionists.  The newspaper wrote: “The last mail... brought scores of Eastern and Western papers with similar recommendations.  The voice of the press is almost unanimous in its approval.  That is a pretty correct index of popular opinion, and we may therefore set down that almost the entire loyal States endorse the action of the President.  It must be expected that the ultra Abolitionists will kick against it, as too conservative [not going far enough] for their radical views.  Let them squirm!  ‘Honest Abe' has shown that he will be no tool of theirs.” How were slaves freed and slavery abolished, then? It's important to note that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't outlaw slavery anywhere.  It declared current slaves in those areas to be free, in areas where the Union had no control.  It essentially “freed” them in word only, and was largely a symbolic gesture.  As the Union military moved through the Confederate states in rebellion, they did free slaves they encountered.  In truth, they could have done this with or without the Proclamation.  The Proclamation was simply used as an excuse to do it, but they would have been right to do it, regardless.  Lincoln gave orders to the Union Army to free those slaves, apart from the Proclamation, which wasn't addressed to the Union Army, but to the Confederate States themselves.  He could have ordered the Union Army to do this without such a proclamation.  And even if Lincoln hadn't issued that order, it would have still been right for Union forces moving through the South to free those slaves, anyway.  If you are a military unit and have taken over an area from the enemy, and you find men who have been kidnapped and brutalized by the people there, the right thing to do would be to free those victims.  The Proclamation didn't free anyone, although it did serve as a political excuse to do so. What of the abolition of slavery, then?  That was accomplished later, in some areas at the state level, and in the rest of the nation through federal action.  Unlike in the Emancipation Proclamation, in all of these cases it was a principled, no-compromise, abolitionist policy that required the complete abolition of slavery in each state.  For example, West Virginia (which had ironically seceded from Virginia while the latter was seceding from the Union) wasn't allowed to join the Union as a new state unless their constitution abolished slavery without exception.  In Maryland, Arkansas and Louisiana in 1864, they abolished slavery at the state level as their citizens ratified new state constitutions.  In Missouri in January of 1865, that governor abolished slavery via executive order.  In all other Southern states, slavery was ultimately abolished through the ratification of the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, in December of 1865. In all of these cases, it was a no-compromise policy that we would describe today as “pro-personhood.”  Slavery was ultimately abolished despite the pro-slavery policy of the Emancipation Proclamation, not because of it.

Coffee with Samso | Episode 214 | Hotel indigo - Adelaide markets | Adelaide | South Australia Guest: Michael Beven – CEO, Pioneer Minerals Limited (ASX: PMM)   Introduction In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I sat down with Michael Beven, CEO of Pioneer Minerals Limited (ASX: PMM), in the heart of Adelaide, to unpack what is shaping up as one of the more technically compelling US critical minerals exploration stories currently flying under the radar. The discussion focused on tungsten, antimony, and gold, but more importantly, on mineral systems thinking—how deposits form, why certain geological settings matter, and why Pioneer's ground selection in Idaho, USA, was anything but random. As someone who has followed tungsten closely, this was a conversation that went well beyond commodity hype and into the fundamentals of discovery. This Coffee with Samso episode is about process, geology, and long-term thinking, not short-term market noise. The Business of the Company: Focus – US Critical Minerals Projects Pioneer Minerals Limited is focused on advancing critical minerals exploration in the United States, aligned with US strategic supply-chain priorities. North Pine Project, Idaho – A multi-prospect project (Springfield, Silver Cliffs, Northman) targeting tungsten and antimony, with additional gold and silver mineralisation. Proven mineral systems – High-grade surface results confirm tungsten skarns and precious-metal vein and epithermal-style systems. Strategic location – Located near major regional projects and a nearby tungsten–antimony processing facility, providing potential development leverage. Pioneer's strategy is to advance North Pine through systematic, data-driven exploration in a Tier-One jurisdiction. About the Projects North Pine Project, Idaho Located in mining-friendly Idaho, USA, within a well-endowed tungsten–antimony district. Comprises the Springfield, Silver Cliffs, and Northman prospects over ~34 km². Targets US-designated critical minerals — tungsten and antimony — with additional gold and silver upside. Springfield & Silver Cliffs Prospects Springfield hosts a high-grade scheelite tungsten skarn and a separate gold–silver–antimony vein system. Silver Cliffs shows epithermal-style gold–silver–antimony mineralisation and is located near an existing tungsten–antimony processing facility. Funding, Structure, and Long-Term Intent Pioneer Minerals is tightly held, with strong cornerstone shareholders who backed the pivot into US critical minerals from the outset. The company has already committed significant capital to ground acquisition and early exploration, signalling intent rather than opportunism. Importantly, this is not a story built around chasing what is currently fashionable. As Michael put it, if the goal were short-term rerating, antimony alone would be the headline. Instead, the focus remains on building a long-life tungsten system, with gold providing additional upside. Tungsten: Rare, Strategic, and Misunderstood A major theme of the discussion was the disconnect between tungsten price and market awareness. Tungsten prices have moved sharply higher, yet investor understanding lags behind antimony and even rare earths. Michael made several key points: Tungsten deposits are genuinely rare, not just economically rare Global Tier-1 tungsten deposits are small by tonnage compared to copper or gold China controls ~83% of global supply and processing There is no operating tungsten mine in the US The implication is clear: tungsten sits at the intersection of rarity, defence, and industrial necessity, with a supply chain vulnerability that the market has not yet fully priced in Why This Coffee with Samso Matters This conversation is a reminder of why geology still matters. In a market often driven by themes and headlines, Pioneer Minerals is taking a bottom-up approach—starting with mineral systems, historical context, and geological logic. Whether or not Springfield becomes the next Yellow Pine remains to be seen, but the thinking behind the project selection is sound. For investors who value process over promotion, this Coffee with Samso episode offers a clear window into how real exploration decisions are made. In the words of Samso, get your favourite beverage and sit and listen to another great insight from Coffee with Samso.

Stan Deyo is a renowned researcher, author, and explorer whose work bridges ancient history, geology, cartography, and alternative archaeology. In The Discovery of the Garden of Eden and Atlantis, Deyo presents a provocative investigation into humanity's lost origins, challenging conventional historical timelines and academic assumptions. Drawing upon ancient texts, early maps, geological evidence, and comparative mythology, he proposes possible real-world locations for both the biblical Garden of Eden and the legendary civilization of Atlantis. Deyo's research invites audiences to reconsider humanity's ancient past, suggesting that advanced civilizations may have existed long before recorded history—and that their traces still remain hidden in plain sight.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Her early childhood in Saudi Arabia sparked a lifelong fascination with ancient mysteries. Katie and Dr. Schoch met at a conference on the topic in 2007 and married on Easter Island in 2010. Together, they have co-authored works exploring ancient civilizations and their connections to cosmic events. Katie has contributed significantly to her husband's research, including connecting Easter Island's previously undeciphered rongorongo script to global “plasma petroglyphs” first identified by renowned physicist Dr. Anthony Peratt of Los Alamos National Laboratory. This discovery shifted her husband's research toward our Sun as the probable cause of the end of the last ice age. Related to this, she noticed giant Lichtenberg patterns emanating from beneath the Great and Second Pyramids on the Giza Plateau (dendritic patterns would be consistent with plasma ejected during massive solar outbursts). More recently, she has offered an hypothesis regarding the potential “Ancient and Intentional Burial of Ancient Egypt” (in similar fashion to Göbekli Tepe). She holds a B.A. from Emerson College (2002) and stays connected to her dance roots by teaching ballet at Wellesley College. She is the author of a children's book, “Adriana and the Ancient Mysteries: The Great Sphinx”, published in German, Italian, and English (revised edition).Dr. Robert M. Schoch, a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University since 1984, and a recipient of its Peyton Richter Award for interdisciplinary teaching, earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University in 1983. He also holds an M.S. and M.Phil. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale, as well as degrees in Anthropology (B.A.) and Geology (B.S.) from George Washington University. In recognition of his research into ancient civilizations, Dr. Schoch was awarded (in 2014) the title of Honorary Professor of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, Bulgaria. In 2017, the College of General Studies at Boston University named him Director of its Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC).In the early 1990s, Dr. Schoch stunned the world with his revolutionary research that recast the date of the Great Sphinx of Egypt to a period thousands of years earlier than its standard attribution. In demonstrating that the leonine monument has been heavily eroded by water despite the fact that its location on the edge of the Sahara has endured hyper-arid climactic conditions for the past 5,000 years, Dr. Schoch revealed to the world that mankind's history is greater and older than previously believed. The subsequently excavated 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey confirmed these assertions.Dr. Schoch's more recent research has focused on the cataclysmic events that ended Earth's last ice age, circa 9700 BCE, simultaneously decimating the high civilizations of the time. The overwhelming evidence drawn from varying disciplines, put forth in his book Forgotten Civilization: New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), points to enormous solar outbursts as the cause.Dr. Schoch has been quoted extensively in the media for his work on ancient cultures and monuments around the globe. His research has been instrumental in spurring renewed attention to the interrelationships between geological and astronomical phenomena, natural catastrophes, and the early history of civilization. He has appeared on numerous radio and television shows and is featured in the Emmy-winning documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, which first aired on NBC in 1993.The author and coauthor of books both technical and popular, Dr. Schoch's works include Phylogeny Reconstruction in Paleontology (1986), Stratigraphy: Principles and Methods (1989), Voices of the Rocks (1999), Voyages of the Pyramid Builders (2003), Pyramid Quest (2005), The Parapsychology Revolution (2008), Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future (2012), Origins of the Sphinx (2017), and the 2nd edition (revised and expanded) of Forgotten Civilization, subtitled New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), among others. Dr. Schoch is also the coauthor of an environmental science textbook used in universities across the United States, and he has contributed to numerous magazines, journals, and reviews on geology, ancient civilizations, parapsychology, and other topics. His works have been translated into a number of languages and distributed around the world.Besides his academic and scholarly studies, Dr. Schoch is an active environmental advocate who stresses a pragmatic, hands-on approach. In this connection, he helped found a local community land trust devoted to protecting land from harmful development, serving on its Board of Directors for many years. And despite acknowledging that our Sun is a major driver of climate on the planet, Dr. Schoch takes an active part in “green” politics; for over a decade he served as an elected member of his local city council.In 1993, an extinct mammal genus was named Schochia in honor of Dr. Schoch's paleontological contributions.It was at the instigation of the late John Anthony West (1932—2018) that Dr. Schoch first began studying the age of the Sphinx. The chamber beneath the Sphinx's paw, which Dr. Schoch, working with Dr. Thomas Dobecki, discovered in the early 1990s and which many people believe is an ancient archive or "Hall of Records" remains unexplored.In 2010 (and grateful to the dignitaries who made it possible), Dr. Schoch married former ballet and Broadway dancer Catherine Ulissey in both civil and traditional Rapanui ceremonies on Easter Island.Dr. Schoch's website is www.robertschoch.com.- - - - -Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

After 27 years, Melvyn Bragg has decided to step down from the In Our Time presenter's chair. With over a thousand episodes to choose from, he has selected just six that capture the huge range and depth of the subjects he and his experts have tackled. In this sixth of his choices, we hear Melvyn Bragg and his guests in 2017 discussing new discoveries about dinosaurs. Their topic is the development of theories about dinosaur feathers, following discoveries of fossils which show evidence of those feathers. All dinosaurs were originally thought to be related to lizards (the word 'dinosaur' was created from the Greek for 'terrible lizard') but that now appears false. In the last century, discoveries of fossils with feathers established that at least some dinosaurs were feathered and that some of those survived the great extinctions and evolved into the birds we see today. There are still many outstanding areas for study, such as what sorts of feathers they were, where on the body they were found, what their purpose was and which dinosaurs had them. With Mike Benton Professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology at the University of Bristol Steve Brusatte Reader and Chancellor's Fellow in Vertebrate Palaeontology at the University of Edinburgh and Maria McNamara Senior Lecturer in Geology at University College, Cork Producer: Simon Tillotson Spanning history, religion, culture, science and philosophy, In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 is essential listening for the intellectually curious. In each episode, host Melvyn Bragg and expert guests explore the characters, events and discoveries that have shaped our world

In this episode, we're back with the fabulous Dr. Rachel Phillips, also known as Geo Girl on YouTube, diving into part two of our intriguing Q&A session. This time, we cover listener questions about early Earth geology, the moon-forming impact, geochemistry, and much more. Spoiler alert: we journey into the cosmic and tectonic weeds, so grab your scientific hats as we ponder if the moon-forming whammy kickstarted plate tectonics and its broader implications on our planet! The center of our discussion revolves around a burning question: Did the moon-forming impact trigger plate tectonics? From vigorous debates on early Earth's behavior to the staggering differences between Earth and its 'toxic twin' Venus, we leave no stone unturned—or unmelted. Dr. Phillips and Jesse examine the evidence, debunk some age-old myths (bye-bye, late heavy bombardment), and think about how a cataclysmic impact billions of years ago might have reset our planetary clock. Oh, and don't get us started on whether Earth or moon rocks are older—trust us, it's complicated. As we approach the end of our cosmic conversation, we speculate about how such colossal impacts might have played a role in developing early life on Earth. Did these monumental collisions cook up the perfect conditions for life's early proliferation, or did they serve as the ultimate reset button? Join us on this epic journey through time, magma oceans, and cratered landscapes.

• Exploding Insects – Autothysis Some ant and termite species literally blow themselves apart to defend their colony! This requires a coordinated system of enzymes, chemistry, triggers, adhesives, and control mechanisms, making it an impossible candidate for slow evolutionary development. • Cockatoos Using Human Drinking Fountains That's right. Listen to the show for more details on an impressive display of intelligence that challenges the “bird brain” stereotype and evolutionary assumptions about primate superiority. • Archaeopteryx: Still 100% Bird New analysis of a Chicago specimen shows fully formed feathers designed for flight, filling the aerodynamic gap evolutionists long claimed made flight “impossible.” Once again, a supposed “missing link” turns out to be just another bird. • Giant Vegetables & Pre-Flood Conditions Modern giant pumpkins and zucchinis are the result of mutations in inhibitor genes, not evolution. Their existence echoes fossil evidence of enormous pre-Flood plants and animals, consistent with higher oxygen, atmospheric pressure, and longer lifespans described in Genesis. • Dinosaur Hemoglobin Found Again Yet another discovery of hemoglobin in dinosaur fossils defies deep-time claims. Even generous decay estimates allow thousands, NOT MILLIONS of years. Evolutionists scramble for new “preservation theories,” but the simplest explanation remains: the fossils are young. • Neanderthals: Masters of Fire & Food Engineering Archaeologists have uncovered Ice Age hearths exceeding 600°C, revealing airflow control, fuel optimization, and consistent temperature regulation. A separate discovery of a bone-processing workshop shows Neanderthals intentionally extracting fat-rich broth, yummy! • New Human Blood Type: Guada Negative A recently identified blood type is incompatible with all others, making transfusions impossible.  • Human–Chimp DNA Myth Collapses As full genomic sequencing improves, the often-repeated “98% similarity” myth has fallen to about 85%, a vast gap representing millions of functional differences and rendering evolutionary timelines unworkable. • Animals Using Natural Medicines Chimps eat antiparasitic leaves, parrots consume detoxifying clay, elephants seek medicinal bark, and bees gather antimicrobial resins. • Biomimicry: Penguins Inspire Engineering A German auto company used AI to analyze penguin wing hydrodynamics, resulting in more efficient automotive fans. Once again, human engineering imitates God's designs. Sponsor This episode is sponsored by foam-knight.com, makers of high-quality foam swords, shields, and battle gear.

Picture this: the gods have come and gone, dynasties have risen and face-planted, cities have popped up and crumbled, tourists have come, posed, and posted a million thirst traps on Instagram… but the Sphinx is still just sitting there like, “Yeah, I'll wait.”Today we're heading to Giza to talk about the world's most famous stone cat with a people head: the Great Sphinx of Egypt. It's massive, it's mysterious, it's eroding faster than our faith in humanity, and it sits at the crossroads of legit science, wild speculation, and whatever the hell Edgar Cayce was doing.We're going to walk through what the Sphinx actually is, what we think we know about its history, how old it might be, why people keep insisting there's a secret Atlantean library under its paws, what modern tech like ground-penetrating radar and fancy satellite scans are actually showing under the Giza plateau, and why so many folks see Dr. Zahi Hawass as the final boss of “Nothing To See Here, Move Along.”Strap on the sunscreen, adjust your tinfoil nemes, and get ready for Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week's research sources:Main References Mentioned in the EpisodeLehner, Mark.The Complete Pyramids: Solving the Ancient Mysteries.London: Thames & Hudson, 1997.Hawass, Zahi.The Secrets of the Sphinx: Restoration Past and Present.Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 1998.Jordan, Paul.Riddles of the Sphinx.New York: New York University Press, 1998.Gauri, K.

And what are Mammoths discovered, frozen and with tropical plants, undigested in their stomachs? Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory offers a plausible explanation!

Host Maxwell Porter is joined by two experts to explore the geological and tectonic evolution of the iconic Laramide Porphyry Copper Province, focusing on its complex geodynamic history and the key exploration criteria that define this world-class copper belt. Our guests share complementary academic and industry perspectives, offering insights drawn from decades of research and field experience.The Geological Framework and Exploration vectors in the Globe-Miami DistrictOur first guest is Dr. Robert Lee. Robert earned his PhD at Oregon State University studying the El Salvador porphyry copper deposit in Chile. He then joined Freeport-McMoRan as a greenfields exploration geologist working across North America, the Philippines, and Europe. In 2014, he moved to UBC's MDRU, leading and contributing to research projects on tools to vector towards economic ore deposits, across the Western Tethyan Belt to the Andes and British Columbia. Since 2022, Robert has been a Principal Geoscientist with BHP's Generative Porphyry Copper team. His expertise centers on porphyry copper formation, mineral chemistry, and innovative tools for exploration, including zircon as a vector to ore.Tectonic controls on porphyry deposit formation in ArizonaOur second guest is Professor Thomas Lamont. Thomas is a structural geologist and petrologist whose work links tectonics, crustal evolution, and the formation of major ore systems. His research combines field mapping with advanced analytical tools, from EPMA and thermobarometry to isotopic and geochronological techniques. He completed his DPhil at the University of Oxford, investigating how the Cycladic Islands in Greece evolved from a compressional to an extensional tectonic regime. In a later postdoctoral role, he focused on the Laramide porphyry province of the southwestern United States, showing how flat-slab subduction drove water-fluxed melting and porphyry copper formation. Thomas now leads research into how subduction geometry shapes the thermal and mechanical state of the lithosphere and its mineral endowment in addition to other topics, as an assistant professor of Structural Geology and Tectonics at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.Many thanks to VRIFY for sponsoring Season 5 of Discovery to Recovery.Theme music is  Confluence by Eastwindseastwindsmusic.com 

* The Oyster's Po' Boy: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney break the news about an oyster-borne parasite who's refused to evolve for 470 million (alleged) years.   * In Search of the Obvious: Scientists may have just figured out the origin of life! (while the rest of us have known for certain the whole time).   * Once in Lifetime? In an almost unheard of event, miners uncovered a dinosaur fossil, and then paleontologists discovered it contained skin, intact organs and soft tissue!    

"Anything beats writing. Writing is tough," says John McPhee, staff writer for The New Yorker and author of more than thirty books of nonfiction.Hey CNFers, this is Episode 500 of The Creative Nonfiction Podcast, the show where I speak to tellers of true tales about the true tales they tell. There are kilometer stones like 100, 200, 300, and 400, but this one, this is a milestone and it features the writer and journalist who made me want to write narrative nonfiction in the first place: John McPhee.John is a titan, a soft-spoken titan. He is the author of more than 30 books, including A Sense of Where You Are, Levels of the Game, his Pulitzer Prize-winning Annals of the Former World, and the book that made me want to write nonfiction: The Survival of the Bark Canoe. John is 94 years young, still lives in Princeton where he has taught an exclusive masterclass on factual storytelling, a class taken by the likes of David Remnick and the late Grant Wahl, I believe, among countless people who have gone on to write and report with distinction.He's been a staff writer for The New Yorker since the 1960s when William Shawn was the editor. Not long thereafter, he was offered a job to teach at his alma mater Princeton University and he famously edited students' submissions not unlike how Shawn edited him at The New Yorker. He's written about such wide ranging topics from basketball, to tennis, to bark canoes, to Alaska, to lacrosse, to oranges, to myriad topics in geology.John is synonymous with thinking through structure and coming up with unique structures for most of his stories, each one something of a fingerprint: no two are alike and the facts borne out from this intensive, slow reporting dictate the shape of the story he has locked into.His work is methodical and patient. He hangs out. He fills notebook after notebook, rarely uses a recorder, maybe only if there's someone speaking in such technical jargon that there's no way to keep pace. His career has been this wonderful balance of give and take: teach for most of the year and not write; then write and not teach. John is unassuming and gentle and an example of how you can do this work without bombast or pyro and still be riveting and sometimes downright hilarious.So we talk about: The influence of his high school English teacher Olive McKee Living room fighters Writing on spec The notebooks he's used for decades How a lack of confidences is an asset What a good editor does Writing as teaching How having a plan frees you to write The panic of having not written leads to productivity And how proud of his daughters he isParting shot on what it all means at 500 and maybe where I see the show going for the next 500.Order The Front RunnerNewsletter: Rage Against the AlgorithmWelcome to Pitch ClubShow notes: brendanomeara.com

A new MP3 sermon from Answers in Genesis Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Flood Explains Geology Subtitle: Answers with Ken Ham Speaker: Ken Ham Broadcaster: Answers in Genesis Ministries Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 11/19/2025 Length: 1 min.

If regenerative agriculture is about rebuilding the foundations of our food system, then soil is where that story starts.Geologist and author David Montgomery has spent decades tracing how the health of our soil shapes everything else: the nutrition in our food, the resilience of our farms, and the long-term fate of entire civilizations. What he shows is both sobering and energizing. We have degraded our soils at an astonishing pace, yet we now understand enough about how they actually work to turn the tide.In this conversation, David helps us zoom out. He connects the collapse of ancient societies to the vulnerabilities we see in modern industrial agriculture, and he lays out what farmers around the world are doing to rebuild soil faster than it erodes. If regeneration is the goal, soil biology is the map.In this episode, we get into: • How soil degradation has shaped the rise and fall of societies • The real consequences of erosion, tillage, and synthetic nitrogen • Why soil microbes are central to nutrient density and farm resilience • What regenerative farmers are proving about soil recovery timelines • Three core principles that can rebuild fertility at scale • Why technology must complement, not replace, ecological understanding • The policies and incentives needed to make soil health the baseline, not the exceptionMore about David:David R. Montgomery is a MacArthur Fellow and professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington. He studies landscape evolution and the effects of geological processes on ecological systems and human societies. An author of award-winning popular-science books, he has been featured in documentary films, network and cable news, and on a wide variety of TV and radio programs. His books have been translated into ten languages. He lives in Seattle with his wife, and co-author, Anne Biklé.

* Pastor, Creationist, Scientist: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Pastor Kevin Lea, (calvarypo.org) HPT expert and graduate of the Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Program to comment on the latest article published in the creation science literature referring to Hydroplate Theory. * Predictions: are the hard currency of real science, and Hydroplate Theory is brimming with confirmed predictions, while the Plate Tectonics model (promoted by the "good 'ole boy" network in the "creationism industry") has none. * The "A." In Edward A. Isaacs: ...appears to stand for "John R Baumgardner", and because of the Baumgardner/Isaacs "Axis of Incompetence" the reputation of creation science literature is in danger of devolving to the level of fables: namely THIS FABLE spun out in the latest issue of the CRSQ

Researchers from Curtin University have found that meteorite impacts, influenced by the solar system's journey through the galaxy, have played a significant role in shaping our planet's geology. The episode explores how ancient zircon crystals are providing a unique archive of Earth's interactions with the galaxy, suggesting that astrophysical processes may have directly influenced the continents beneath our feet and the conditions that made life possible.Taikonaut Stranded in SpaceIn a dramatic turn of events, three Chinese taikonauts are stranded in orbit after their Shenzhou 20 spacecraft was struck by suspected space junk just hours before their scheduled return to Earth. This segment discusses the implications of the impact, the ongoing assessments by mission managers, and the potential need for a replacement capsule to ensure the crew's safe return. The episode also reflects on past incidents involving space debris and the measures taken to protect the Tiangong Space Station.The Biggest Supermoon of the YearSkywatchers around the globe were treated to the biggest supermoon of the year, appearing 7% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon. This segment explains the science behind the phenomenon, including the moon's elliptical orbit and its impact on tides. We also discuss how the term "supermoon" became popularised and the frequency of such lunar events, with several more supermoons on the horizon.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesPhysical Reviewhttps://journals.aps.org/pr/Naturehttps://www.nature.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.Earth's Geology Written in the StarsTaikonaut Stranded in SpaceThe Biggest Supermoon of the YearEarth's Geology Written in the StarsTaikonaut Stranded in SpaceThe Biggest Supermoon of the Year
