Bắc Kinh và Matxcơva đẩy mạnh hợp tác ở Bắc Cực, được cho là nơi có 25 % dự trữ dầu khí của thế giới chưa khai thác. Đây cũng là một vị trí chiến lược cho phép rút ngắn lộ trình giao thương hàng hải giữa Nga với Trung Quốc, phục vụ chiến lược xoay trục sang châu Á của tổng thống Vladimir Putin. Chiến tranh Ukraina càng kéo dài, bang giao Nga - Trung càng thắm thiết.  Chủ tịch Trung Quốc là thượng khách của tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin tại Matxcơva nhân lễ kỷ niệm 80 năm chiến thắng Đức Quốc Xã hôm 09/05/2025.Sau trên dưới 50 lần tiếp xúc kể từ khi hai nhà lãnh đạo này lên cầm quyền, đôi bên phô trương những cử chỉ thân mật của những người bạn « lâu năm », của một mối bang giao « đang ở cấp cao nhất trong lịch sử ». Giới quan sát cho rằng đây là một màn trình diễn có phối hợp của đôi bên vào lúc Nga và phương Tây vẫn đối đầu với nhau về chiến tranh Ukraina, còn Trung Quốc thì đang đọ sức với Hoa Kỳ trong một cuộc chiến thương mại.Bên cạnh những tuyên bố chung « phản đối các biện pháp đơn phương hạn chế trao đổi về mậu dịch và tài chính » toàn cầu-ngụ ý nhắm vào Mỹ và phương Tây, Nga và Trung Quốc cam kết mở rộng việc sử dụng đồng nội tệ trong các giao dịch song phương, để bớt lệ thuộc vào đô la Mỹ. Matxcơva và Bắc Kinh « tăng cường quan hệ kinh tế, thương mại và khoa học công nghệ » đồng thời kêu gọi tránh biến trí tuệ nhân tạo thành một công cụ phục vụ « những tham vọng chính trị và mưu đồ bá quyền ».Trong số các hồ sơ hợp tác song phương, chủ đề nổi cộm hơn cả đó là các chương trình hợp tác Nga-Trung tại Bắc Cực, một khu vực « rất gần với lãnh thổ của Hoa Kỳ ».Cách nay ba năm, phát biểu trên đài truyền hình nhà nước, tổng thống Vladimir Putin đã nhấn mạnh : « Mở rộng hành lang giao thương qua Bắc Cực là rất quan trọng, vì qua đó chúng ta có thể khai thác trọn vẹn tiềm năng xuất khẩu của Nga, hoạt động một cách có hiệu quả, đặc biệt là trong các dịch vụ giao thương với Đông Nam Á ».Chuyên gia về an ninh, quốc phòng Nga Isabelle Facon thuộc Quỹ Nghiên Cứu Chiến Lược của Pháp trong một bài phân tích gần đây (Nga và Trung Quốc tại Bắc Cực : những tính toán hai mặt và bó buộc của Matxcơva) lưu ý : Từ 2016 đôi bên đã « đẩy mạnh hợp tác ở Bắc Cực trong khuôn khổ chương trình Arktika do Matxcơva khởi xướng với mục đích chia sẻ và đẩy mạnh những trao đổi về khoa học kỹ thuật ».Nga thì tìm kiếm các mối đối tác mới, còn Trung Quốc thì muốn mở rộng ảnh hưởng tại một vùng biển được coi là mang tính chiến lược về quân sự-do sát cạnh lãnh thổ Hoa Kỳ, và nhất là về mặt thương mại.Sự hiện diện của tàu phá băng Trung Quốc Tạp chí tài chính Mỹ Forbes tiết lộ từ tháng 7/2024 ba tàu phá băng của Trung Quốc đã được triển khai đến khu vực. Hai tháng sau, Học Viện Hải Quân Hoa Kỳ đưa tin tàu Trung Quốc đi qua « Tuyến Đường Hàng Hải Phương Bắc do Nga kiểm soát. Tàu chở hàng của Nga để bán sang Châu Âu và Châu Á, bất chấp các lệnh trừng phạt Âu Mỹ đã ban hành từ khi tổng thống Putin xâm lược Ukraina ».Tại Bắc Cực, Nga chiếm thế áp đảo, kiểm soát 45 % các vùng nước của Bắc Băng Dương, và 53 % các bờ biển. Vị trí áp đảo này hơn hẳn so với những quốc gia khác trong khu vực như Hoa Kỳ, Canada, Na Uy, Đan Mạch (với hòn đảo Groenland), Phần Lan, Thụy Điển, Iceland. Vào lúc Trái đất đang bị hâm nóng, khối lượng băng tuyết tại đây đã tan 40 % so với thời điểm 1980 các tuyến đường hàng hải và viễn cảnh khai thác tài nguyên càng trở nên hấp dẫn hơn.Để duy trì thế thượng phong, Matxcơva từ hơn chục năm nay đã tìm cách lôi kéo Trung Quốc vào cuộc, bởi tuyến đường hàng hải phương Bắc cho phép thu ngắn đáng kể hành trình đưa hàng hóa của Nga sang Trung Quốc hay châu Âu, thay vì phải đi qua Kênh Đào Suez hay Sừng Châu Phi.Tuần báo Courrier International trích dẫn phân tích của chuyên gia về địa chính trị Viện nghiên cứu Na Uy (Fridtjof Nansen Institute) Andreas Osthagen : « Một số khu vực tại Bắc Cực được cho là rất giàu các tài nguyên mà đến nay chưa được khai thác. Đây là một vùng còn rất nghèo nàn về cơ sở hạ tầng, các cơ sở về năng lượng tại đây còn kém mở mang. Do vậy các tập đoàn công nghiệp quốc tế ngại đến đây hoạt động. Cả khu vực Bắc Cực chưa được khai thác đúng mức (...) Trong khu vực thì không mấy khi có chuyện tranh chấp về lãnh thổ, hay tranh chấp về các đường biên giới và tranh chấp chủ quyền, nhưng phải hiểu Bắc Cực là một không gian mang tính chiến lược cao, chủ yếu liên quan đến vấn đề quyền chủ quyền  (…) Khi NATO tổ chức tập trận chung với các nước liên quan thì lập tức Nga cũng có hành động tương tự tại khu vực này để khẳng định quyền chủ quyền (…) Căng thẳng có phần gia tăng từ khi Phần Lan gia nhập Liên Minh Bắc Đại Tây Dương cho nên Nga càng khẩn trương hơn tìm kiếm các mối liên minh mới. Đầu tiên hết trong số này là Trung Quốc. Về phía Bắc Kinh thì ông Tập Cận Bình muốn mở rộng ảnh hưởng của Trung Quốc trong khu vực cũng như ở khắp nơi trên thế giới. Bắc Kinh đẩy mạnh đầu tư và thúc đẩy dự án con đường tơ lụa qua Bắc Cực. »Lợi ích về tài nguyên Năm 2008, Cơ Quan Địa Chất Hoa Kỳ USGS thẩm định hiện có ít nhất 10 % trữ lượng dầu hỏa và 30 % trữ lượng về khí đốt của thế giới vẫn còn ngủ yên ở Bắc Cực. Vào lúc Trung Quốc vừa là nguồn tiêu thụ năng lượng lớn nhất thế giới, lại vừa dồi dào các phương tiện cả về tài chính lẫn kỹ thuật, hợp tác Nga Trung là kịch bản lý tưởng.Vấn đề đặt ra là tới nay, Nga cũng như 7 quốc gia còn lại bao quanh Bắc Băng Dương đều không có nhiều phương tiện để thăm dò, khai thác các nguồn tài nguyên này, một phần do thời tiết khí hậu khắc nghiệt chưa cho phép, một phần do chính những thẩm định về tiềm năng của khu vực cũng chưa được xác định một cách vững chắc.Trong khi đó, như vừa giải thích, « căng thẳng về địa chính trị gia tăng giữa Mỹ và Nga »,đặc biệt là từ khi Phần Lan gia nhập Liên Minh Bắc Đại Tây Dương, Matxcơva lôi kéo thêm Bắc Kinh về phía mình ở một vùng biển ngay sát cạnh Hoa Kỳ : Eo biển Bering nằm cách Bắc Cực khoảng 100 km về phía nam. Khoảng cách giữa bờ biển ở cực đông của vùng Tchoukota thuộc về nước Nga và vùng duyên hải ở cực tây bang Alaska của Hoa Kỳ chỉ là 85 km.Cho nên, việc cặp bài trùng Nga-Trung Quốc tăng cường hiện diện ngay sát cạnh lãnh thổ và lãnh hải Hoa Kỳ là một yếu tố chiến lược mà cả Matxcơva lẫn Bắc Kinh đều không thể bỏ qua.Một chút nghi kỵ Nga-TrungTuy nhiên, bà Isabelle Facon Quỹ Nghiên Cứu Chiến Lược của Pháp trong bài tham luận trên Đài Quan Sát Bắc Cực đã lưu ý : Thứ nhất Trung Quốc là đối tác quan trọng nhất, nhưng không phải là vị khách duy nhất được tổng thống Vladimir Putin mời tham gia cùng « thăm dò » tài nguyên ở Bắc Cực. Chủ nhân điện Kremlin đã mời từ Ấn Độ đến Hàn Quốc, Nhật Bản đồng hành. Tại thượng đỉnh APEC ở Bali-Indonesia, năm 2013 cũng ông Putin đã mời « các đối tác kinh tế trong khu vực cùng phát triển dự án Tuyến Đường Hàng Hải Phương Bắc ».Thứ nhì, về phía Trung Quốc, ông Tập Cận Bình cũng không đợi đến chiến tranh Ukraina năm 2022 mới quan tâm đến Bắc Cực. Bắc Kinh cũng không chỉ trông cậy vào Nga như « cánh cổng duy nhất mở ra Bắc Băng Dương ».Theo nhà nghiên cứu Isabelle Facon, do nhu cầu tiên thụ năng lượng quá lớn, Bắc Kinh từng « mở rộng bang giao » với các thành viên Hội Đồng Bắc Cực, từ Đan Mạch đến Iceland hay Na Uy. Hành động này khiến Matxcơva hoài nghi và cho rằng Trung Quốc lại áp dụng chiến thuật « chia để trị » và bắt đầu xem Bắc Kinh như một mối thách thức tiềm tàng.Ngày 25/04/2023 Nga và Trung Quốc đã ký kết hiệp ước Mourmansk, tên một hải cảng của Nga hướng ra Bắc Băng Dương. Văn bản này trước hết là « một thông điệp mà Matxcơva và Bắc Kinh gửi tới tất cả các thành viên khác trong Hội Đồng Bắc Cực (vốn đã ngừng liên hệ với Nga từ khi nổ ra chiến tranh Ukraina), đứng đầu là Hoa Kỳ. Thông điệp ấy là « giờ đây, nước Nga đã sẵn sàng thách thức NATO trong khu vực chiến lược và nhạy cảm này », theo ghi nhận của tuần báo The Times.Do vậy, việc lôi kéo Trung Quốc về phía mình ở Bắc Cực chỉ là một sự tiếp nối của chính sách « Chinh phục lại Bắc Cực » mà Matxcơva đã từng bước hình thành từ đầu những năm 2010, có thể là « trước đó nữa ».Nga đang tận dụng việc khai thác Con Đường Hàng Hải Phương Bắc để đưa dầu hỏa nhanh hơn đến tay khách hàng lớn nhất là Trung Quốc. Trong tính toán này, Nga có thêm một đồng minh bất ngờ và quý giá đó là yếu tố thời tiết : do hiện tượng khí hậu bị hâm nóng làm tan băng, giao thương trong vùng biển sát Bắc Cực này càng được thuận lợi.

It is the mission of the U.S. Geological Survey to monitor water resources across the country. We talk with Chris Wilkowske, a hydrologist with the USGS at the Utah Water Science Center, about the science and methodology of measuring stream flow. We talk about how stream gauges operate and the process of validating and adjusting data, particularly after events like floods. Local examples from the Moab area and the Colorado River highlight the dual purposes of stream gauges for flood monitoring and groundwater assessments.

In this week's podcast, Michael Lane discusses the topic of genealogy in the Bible from the Florida Keys as he leads students on the 2025 Marine Biology trip! In Biblical times, genealogy was so important to show the lineage of families. To the Israelites it's still very important piece of their culture. Skeptics and critics will use these two genialities as evidence that the Bible cannot be trusted because they are different. Tune in and discover the reasoning why it's important that Jesus has two different genealogies.CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane. Produced & Edited by Isabel Kolste.

La société Atlantic Lithium qui opère au Ghana demande des concessions fiscales aux autorités en raison de l'évolution du marché ces deux dernières années. À l'instar de la société australienne, tous les investisseurs pâtissent de l'offre excédentaire qui a fait s'effondrer les prix de ce métal clé des batteries électriques depuis plus de deux ans. Ceux qui misent sur le continent africain ne sont pas épargnés. Comme l'opérateur australien présent au Ghana avec le projet Ewoyaa, tous les investisseurs avaient tablé sur un boom de la demande en lithium pour alimenter la transition énergétique et accompagner le développement des véhicules électriques. Mais rares sont ceux qui ne déchantent pas : depuis leur pic fin 2022, les prix ont chuté de plus de 80%. Ils ont atteint en avril un plus bas depuis quatre ans. Selon les projets, l'impact se ressent sur le calendrier de mise en production, voire sur la viabilité économique ou, sur les recettes, pour les mines déjà en activité.Reprise des ventes de véhicules en ChineLes ventes de véhicules électriques ont augmenté de 40% en Chine en un an, selon la China Passenger Car Association. Cela a joué sur la demande en lithium. Entre 2023 et 2024, elle a augmenté de près de 30%, selon les services géologiques américains (USGS) – soit 220 000 tonnes contre 170 000 tonnes en 2023.L'offre minière a cependant encore été supérieure aux besoins en 2024 et cela ne devrait pas changer cette année, selon les analystes du cabinet CRU Group cité par l'agence Bloomberg, même si plusieurs mines en activité ont réduit leur capacité de production depuis 2023 d'environ 200 000 tonnes pour tenter de redresser les cours.Le lithium attire toujoursLes difficultés sont les mêmes pour tous les investisseurs, et plusieurs projets dans le monde ont été retardés ou annulés l'année dernière, selon les données de l'USGS. L'année dernière, à titre d'exemple, le chinois Ganfeng, qui développe la mine de Goulamina au Mali, avait annoncé sa volonté de revoir certains de ses investissements sans spécifier lesquels. Mais le lithium attire toujours. L'opérateur chinois Zijin Mining Group a annoncé en début d'année son intention de produire d'ici un an du lithium en République démocratique du Congo même si ce calendrier pourrait être remis en cause en raison d'un litige sur la licence d'exploration entre la société publique congolaise en co-entreprise avec Zijin et l'australien AVZ Minerals. Le Zimbabwe, pays qui figure dans le top 5 des producteurs de lithium au niveau mondial, n'a pas levé le pied, au contraire, ses capacités de production ont augmenté l'année dernière.

Today's special topic cuts deeper than science or partisan politics---it defends North American duck hunting's essential back bone, wetland health and abundance, continued public land access, and our legacy to future duck hunting generations. Right now, powerful forces are dismantling the foundations of North America's greatest success story--waterfowl hunting as you've known it your entire life. Most have scarcely even noticed. Decades of data and research, the programs and staff that keep ducks overhead and seasons open--all are all on the chopping block. If you've ever watched sunrise from the duck blind, heard thundering wings overhead, or taught your children the meaning of this cherished tradition--this fight belongs to you. Me. All waterfowlers.

In this week's podcast, biologist, author, and Bible teacher Michael Lane addresses a common contradiction pointed out by Bible skeptics: How many times did the rooster crow? Skeptics often highlight perceived discrepancies in the Bible—especially in the four Gospels—as evidence that it's full of contradictions and therefore unreliable.

There has been much upheaval in the National Park Service this year, with firings, then rehires, and staff deciding to retire now rather than risk sticking around and being fired. There have been fears that more Park Service personnel are about to be let go through a reduction in force.  While Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has ordered the Park Service to ensure that parks are properly to support the operating hours and needs of each park unit,” that message said nothing about protecting park resources.  Among all this upheaval the question that goes begging is whether the Interior Department is as concerned about protecting natural resources, including wildlife, as it is about seeing that visitors have a good national park experience? Our guest today is Dr. Michael Soukup, who during his National Park Service career served as the agency's chief scientist. When he joined the Park Service in 1975 Dr. Soukup, a distinguished coastal ecologist, biologist and researcher, brought a clear vision for natural resource stewardship that would be embraced throughout the NPS and supported by visitors and local citizens.    He was directly responsible for launching the Natural Resource Challenge, a $100 million funding initiative that brought the protection of natural resources of the parks to the forefront.

Policy in Washington is in flux—and our clients had questions. Lots of them. Following Bluefield's recent client webcast, Uncertain Times: The State of Water Policy in Washington, podcast host Reese Tisdale and Senior Research Director Greg Goodwin reconvene to answer the questions they didn't have time to address live. In this episode, they unpack critical developments shaping the water sector—from funding volatility and regulatory shifts to cross-border tensions and infrastructure outlooks. Topics covered, questions answered: Is Bluefield's market sizing number across main verticals total or annualized? If the San Francisco vs. EPA court decision will lead to more niche requirements, will permitting get more complicated? Are Chicago's US$15B consent decree costs included in the municipal total? Underestimated? What does a second Trump administration mean for the digital water market? Will agencies like USGS be affected too? Can you break down the US$13B in impounded funding?

The USGS has warned that the final death toll from the magnitude-7.7 quake in Myanmar could top 100,000 and that the economic losses may exceed the country's GDP.  Since the 2021 coup, the nation of 51 million people has been facing an unprecedented "polycrisis" marked by economic collapse, civil war, climate hazards and deepening poverty.  Plus, France's competition watchdog has imposed a €150 million fine on Apple over its App Tracking Transparency privacy feature. 

Text Our Show HostsPreppers… Survivalists… Off-Gridders… Homesteaders… and the like… Welcome… to TOPS Bunker…A Podcast for PreppersSpeakpipe.com/TOPSFacebook Group… TOPS BunkerSHTF@Topsbunker.comTonight, we're discussing how we change-up our prep kits from winter to spring. The gear and preps that we keep in our kits during winter, are somewhat different from the items we keep in our packs for the Spring and Summer Seasons. Now, of coarse, this really does depend greatly on our geographical location. The farther North, or South,… we live from the equator… the more changes in our gear we'll have to make. For instance,… if you live in Florida, South Texas, Mexico, or Southern California… Your kits may not change as much as let's say… those of us living in the mid-west or the northern states, or Canada… And the same theory goes for Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa… and… the southern hemisphere… like most of South America, Southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. The more drastic your climate conditions change for each season, the more drastic your changes will be for your Preps and Kits.If your location experiences seasonal affects like Wild Fires, Flooding, Hurricanes and tornados, Blizzards, High Winds, and Dust Storms… Well… you'll need to gear up for those as well. And all though Earthquakes and Volcanoes are not affected by the changes in seasons… those of you living within these threat zones should be prepared for them as well.And Yes… we have Volcanos in the US… If you asked most Americans how many active volcanos are located in the US,.. you'll most likely get an answer like this… oh  5 to 10… maybe 15… Would they be correct…? No… Not even close… The USGS is currently monitoring 169 active volcanos in the US and it's territories. And as far as Earthquakes are concerned… around 10K people dies each year in earthquakes.Guys… it's important to be prepared for the events that specifically affect you at your location, and how they change from season to season.We're gonna get that conversation started right now.So, Let's Get To It...Visit HoneyComb Holler on YouTubeTOPSBunker.comPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:Carhartt Mens Force Sun Defender ShirtCarhartt Womens Force Sun Defender ShirtCQR Mens Tactical RipStop PantsCQR Womens FlexStretch Tactical RipStop PantsKastKing Sol Armis UPF 50 Boonie Hat Men/WomenC&L 3-Layer Ultra Ventilated Bee Jacket w/Fencing Veil KhakiApis Tactical Beekeeping Glove White/BlackBeeCastle 10-Frame Complete Langstroth BeeHiveBeeCastle 9pc Complete Beekeeping Tool KitUrban Carry IWB LockLeather Holster EDCUrban Carry OWB LockLeather Holster EDCWolf Tactical EDC Sling BagKOVR Mens SPF 30 All Natural SunscreenKOSupport the show

Did you know there's a massive underground ocean hiding beneath our feet? Scientists just discovered what could be Earth's largest underground water reservoir, buried hundreds of miles below the surface. This hidden ocean isn't like the ones we see—it's trapped inside a special type of rock called ringwoodite, which holds water like a giant sponge. In fact, there might be three times more water down there than in all the oceans on the surface combined! This mind-blowing find could change what we know about Earth's water cycle and where our planet's water originally came from. Who knows—maybe there are even more hidden oceans waiting to be found deep below!

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of 'Discover Daily', we begin with a tease from Apple CEO Tim Cook. His message on X that  "there's something in the air" has sparked speculation about new MacBook Air models featuring the M4 chip. These potential upgrades include a 25% boost in multi-core CPU performance, enhanced AI capabilities, and improved features like a 12MP Center Stage camera and Wi-Fi 6E support. Apple's shift to a more subtle announcement strategy marks a departure from their traditional product launch approach.We also delve into the world of AI economics with Chinese startup DeepSeek's claim of a theoretical 545% cost-profit margin for its AI models. While this figure is based on calculations involving their V3 and R1 inference systems, real-world factors significantly reduce actual revenue. DeepSeek's aggressive pricing strategy and low development costs have sparked debate within the tech community and impacted AI-related stocks.The episode's main focus is the discovery of vast "gold hydrogen" reserves beneath 30 U.S. states, as revealed by a groundbreaking USGS map. This natural hydrogen, formed through a process called serpentinization in geological formations known as rift-inversion orogens, could revolutionize clean energy production. The abundance and widespread distribution of these reserves may accelerate the transition to sustainable energy sources, potentially reshaping the global energy landscape and creating new economic opportunities in regions with significant deposits.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/apple-air-product-teased-QhTieZlcTwWodiMLzGzP3ghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/deepseek-s-theoretical-545-mar-_vk4xxCjSt.tLxQJCoU2sghttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/massive-gold-hydrogen-reserves-kRgxDixrTJCI1W17S2zcbw**Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Rising sea levels, stronger storms, eroding shorelines, and sinking terrain are taking a toll on the fragile ecosystems and historic resources at Cape Lookout National Seashore on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  A new study by the U.S. Geological Survey takes a close look at these threats and predicts how they will impact the national seashore over the coming years.   Climate change impacts are happening across the country, reaching into most, if not all, units of the National Park System. Sea level rise is particularly concerning because you just can't up and move a park, and if that park is on an island, well, high water is coming.   This week the Traveler's Lynn Riddick talks with Cape Lookout Superintendent Jeff West and authors of the USGS study about the challenges the National Park Service faces in creating sustainable coastal management practices for Cape Lookout.

Penn Pilot offers showcase aerial photography of Pennsylvania’s landscape from the 1930’s to the 80’s. This tool was started by the Pennsylvania Geological Survey, according to Maurie Kelly, Director of Informatics with the Institutes of Energy and the Environment at Penn State University. “They are part of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and they had thousands and thousands of paper photographs that were in file cabinets, essentially. And they approached Penn State about scanning those and then putting them online for people to access. So now people have limited access to the paper photographs, but now anyone can access the digital photographs, said Kelly. The photos come from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service. A lot of the photography was originally done for agricultural reasons, now the data is utilized for planning and development, solving cold cases, and more. According to Maurie, the site is used 15 million times a year. “These people who originally took those photographs in the 30s and 40s had no idea how meaningful and how useful this data was going to be almost 100 years later, “said Kelly. Scott Hoffman, Retired USGS Scientist and Geographer who also worked on imagery to investigate real world problems for USGS- funded problems in Pennsylvania, shares about the equipment used to capture NHP images. “A lot of the cameras used were the best at the time. I'm thinking it's a memory for me, but I think it's a Zeiss camera was one of the best cameras in the world at that time. And they were able to collect really detailed imagery far better than anyone could have imagined. The aircraft varied from high altitude jets to turboprop aircraft, but just using the best of what was available at the time within the budgetary constraints, “said Hoffman. Some of the photos on Penn Pilot came from a project called the National Altitude Photography Project. “That project was really designed to, I think, for lack of a better way, really try to coordinate something nationally and be used in conjunction with what Maury just described with the agricultural program. And just take it maybe a little further, perhaps give a little bit more detail, create a system where the photograph overlaps in a certain percentage, 30%, let's say for each photograph, there's duplication along the flight path. But it was really a nice step to combine with what the agricultural program was doing, “said Hoffman. Towards the end of the interview, Scott shared the impact of Penn Pilot, and the importance of preserving those photographs. “Working with one of the if not the leading mapping agency in the world. But that resource is so, so valuable that it's just so important that we keep it. And as Mari said, you know, funding is everything. And this is a valuable resource that, you know, if there's a legislator that's listening to maybe take a really good look at this and say, hey, look, this is something that we really need to keep going and preserve. “I just think it's so important, “said Hoffman.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Project Geospatial explores the USGS Landsat year in review. Landsat, a satellite program capturing Earth images for over 50 years, is invaluable for monitoring environmental changes and managing resources. The program's recent report highlights its worth at $25.6 billion, showcasing its significant real-world benefits, such as improving flood mapping for farmers, saving millions in wildfire restoration, and enhancing water quality monitoring. With the upcoming Landsat Next mission, featuring advanced sensors and expanded capabilities, the potential for breakthroughs in research and economic value is enormous. The program's legacy, including the retirement of Landsat 7, emphasizes the importance of accessible data for global collaboration and diverse applications. #Landsat #EarthObservation #SatelliteData #EnvironmentalMonitoring #ClimateChange #WaterResources #WildfireManagement #OpenData #USGS #AgriculturalMonitoring #GlobalCollaboration #SpaceTechnology #LandsatNext #EconomicValue #PublicHealth

This is the fifth and final installment of a miniseries about amphibian conservation and determination called For the Frogs. In each episode, we will meet to one native amphibian that can be found in California's national forests. These creatures are important to ecological health and can deepen our connections with public lands, but they are also in a state of decline. Fortunately, a village of specialists are devoted to conserving these species. The stories of their resolute conservation efforts, pursued through obstacles and setbacks, provides portraits of determination that we can pocket and apply to our own personal experiences with adversity. This time, we meet the mountain yellow-legged frog and tag along during a reintroduction of this endangered species to the Angeles National Forest.

I've spoken to these people, these are not videos that I've seen, etc. There are no FEMA trucks at the airport in Michigan, yet. This is what I got. (Reading from an email) “Richie, I've been a subscriber for a long time. Nothing is onsite currently, but we'll share when it does happen. Local citizens have been wondering about the same question as you and your followers have about this topic…” So I wanted to know, are they there as of yet, right now? And no, they're not. But here's what's going on at the FEMA camp that they say doesn't exist down in North Carolina. He plays video clip - Transcript: FEMA Supervisor: (Being recorded) “I can't tell you.” Local guy: “You can't tell me, or you don't know?” FEMA Supervisor: “Can't tell you.” Local guy: “Because they're saying they're FEMA and they're not.” FEMA Supervisor: “Ok. Have you called your local law enforcement?” Local guy: “No, we've called Washington, DC and FEMA said no, we don't have a site there.” FEMA Supervisor: “They'll never tell you where we are.” “We've had congressmen run up on our people and talk to them crazy. We've had people jump out with machine guns and AK's and machetes and handguns and all types of stuff. So, we're jumpy as hell right now.” Local guy: “Oh, I get it; I believe it.” “Well, nobody here to my knowledge wants to hurt you. It's up in the mountains where people want to stay alone. ‘Leave us alone,' you know, ‘We don't need your help.' FEMA Supervisor: “We've been up there too.” Local guy: “I was trying to clean things up because, for one, your safety and ours (FEMA interjects: “it's important,”) is reflected on somewhere where they're saying they're doing something, and if they're not really doing that, then that affects us and you.”  FEMA Supervisor: “An excellent way to find out if you've got a legitimate federal employee is say, ‘Hey, can I take a picture of your badge?' and watch that person step out…” Local guy: “Right.” “That's the thing, multiple times, this same facility with other people…” FEMA Supervisor: “We've had problems with that facility where people were going in, they had on body cams, they had fake uniforms on with ‘FEMA'. And they were going through asking questions and walking through. So the reason why is because the security already had to deal with that and had to do a security sweep. So they're very alert, extremely alert. A lot of those guys come out of a correctional office, probably correctional jails, and federal facilities. So they're jumpy as hell and they're looking for a reason to box somebody up. They want that body.” End of clip. Back to Richie: You see what he says here? Correctional officers, federal facilities. They're jumpy as hell. They're looking for a reason to box somebody up. They want that body. They want to kill somebody. He shows another video here: This is from JW TV. Somebody sent me this footage earlier, but it's easier where I'm at in my current studio to steal his video. JW. TV. He drives around in the van and makes videos. But this is the FEMA facility in North Carolina and its massive and it looks exactly what was described that's going to be at the airport in Michigan. And I know the reason why; I know the exact reason why. This makes complete military sense. You see this? There's no homeless people, there's no people that were being rescued from the waters. There's no homeless children here. You know what I mean? They're not helping people here. They're staging. They're staging here... Well, let me explain it to you. (He shows a map with a circular colored graph around the New Madrid noting ‘slight damage', ‘moderate damage', ‘severe damage' and ‘catastrophic damage' that the effect of an earthquake would make in circumference to the epicenter.) He goes on to say, pointing on the map, they're staging here, and then they're going to stage here. Michigan is up here in the ‘slight damage' or ‘Green Zone', and down here in North Carolina is also the Green Zone. They're going to set off the New Madrid fault line. I said this about a month or so ago when the rain started. I said these guys are purposefully flooding out the entire New Madrid fault line (zone). They're oversaturating the land with water, and they've been doing drills there four times this year. (Saturation by weather manipulation empowers the quake. They are trying to saturate areas they want to spread the damage to. Water is heavy and it does not compress.) In 2024, the Army Corps of Engineers have done drills there. They're drilling there because they're going to set it off and they're going to set it off because of many things. It'll kill a lot of people. They're not there to help people. They're not staging ahead of time because they know an earthquake is coming. It doesn't work like that. They're going to set it off and maybe this will help you make more sense out of it. Check this out. Another video clip The Caption above in video: “The operation involved military grade logistics, including the coordination of routes, detention facilities, and staging points. Our source confirmed that FEMA's actions in Michigan are following this same exact blueprint. The maps don't lie.” Transcript: “But we're going to take whatever we have and head out to the second safest state, second or first safest state in the United States when it comes to disasters. Now, I know I keep saying that, but that's very important. But how would they know that the New Madrid fault line is ready to go in a very big way? Well you see, they, like I said, they have been running constant drills on this fault line as of 2024. More than they've ever done in previous years, and FEMA has actually been crunching the numbers. They've been crunching the totals of how much everything will cost; the disasters, the people that would lose their lives and so forth. The University of Kentucky created a 57-page PDF that calculates and tells us everything that would occur if an 8.0 or greater earthquake were to strike the New Madrid fault line. And I'll go ahead and pin that in the comment section below and also pin that in the description of this video. That PDF will be very, very important.” “So what is the goal here? What is the agenda? Why do certain organizations know that this fault line is going to go well in advance. Well, let's go ahead and take a look at something. This simulation, and like I said, there's been a lot of simulations in 2024 on the New Madrid fault line computer and physical simulations. But let's take a look at this computer simulation created by the USGS on April 4, 2024. Take a look at the simulation. You can see the earthquake starting in Blytheville, and as the earthquake starts to spread out, the heaviness of this earthquake, the intensity of the earthquake starts to fade away, heading in multiple locations. But the brunt of this earthquake, the intensity of this earthquake,  heads directly to Little Rock, AR; South Arkansas.” “Now, isn't it rather interesting that a month ago news broke out, letting us all know that Arkansas has a giant hidden source of lithium? (The same reason they struck NC.) Matter of fact, Arkansas has the world's most lithium. Looking at this map, this is where the world's most lithium is located, and looking at the USGS simulation of this earthquake well, again this is where the intensity of this earthquake will be heading. Is this a coincidence? I don't know.” “Well, here is a rather interesting article by the USGS. The same USGS that gave us this very interesting simulation. This article was published on October 21, 2024, a little less than a month ago. It is titled: Unlocking Arkansas' Hidden Treasure: USGS Uses Machine Learning to Show Large Lithium Potential in the Smackover Formation. This Smackover Formation again, is located in South Arkansas. Reading from the article, it says using a combination of water testing and machine learning, a U.S. Geological Survey led study estimated between 5 and 19 million tons of lithium reserves are located beneath Southwestern Arkansas. If commercially recoverable, the amount of lithium present would meet projected 2030 world demand for lithium in car batteries 9 times over.” End of video clip Back to Richie: OK, because of my limited studio right here, you're gonna have to look up the Army Corps of Engineers doing 4 separate drills on the New Madrid fault line this year alone. The army doesn't do that. They'll do a drill. You get one and that's it. They're doing this drill, where they should be over in Asheville, recovering people, but they're not going to recover people. I spoke to somebody who's been doing real search and rescue in Asheville the entire time. They've got over 10,000 bodies. The MSM doesn't even talk about it anymore and they left off telling us a number of 200. Ten thousand people got murdered. These people were standing there and all of a sudden a wall of water just washes them away. I mean, it's horrific; it's heart wrenching. And they're going to do this to a massive area and they're going to do this soon because, A: They're staging FEMA. There'll be another state over here in the Green Zone that we won't hear about because the guy that works at the airport up in Michigan spilled the beans. How do we know that? Because he was giving a press conference. He was just talking matter of fact, no big deal. ‘Yeah, FEMA is coming here, they're taking over the building. We have got to move someplace else.' Well, they're going to be above, all the way around it… (the New Madrid Seismic zone.) And now all of a sudden they cannot stop, absolutely oversaturating the land that they're simultaneously doing drills on, that they're coincidentally staging all the way around. They're going to do this, and they're going to do it soon because they got the land prepared and they're prepping. (For the Big One.) They're preparing. They're not preparing for you. You heard the dude, you heard the FEMA supervisor. “All the people we've got here at the FEMA campground, they're just looking to put somebody in a box.” They're looking to ‘body', somebody. What!? You know what I'm saying? (Although the New Madrid zone will go off, God's angels are taking out FEMA murderers.) But this is where we live. Agenda 2030 has sped up. (I removed here his opinion that Trump must somehow be involved in this, which is false.)  Trump didn't mention the DoD directive, September 27, 2024, where troops can fire on American citizens. … (The DS has made it legal to kill citizens.) This is a new map, FEMA, I mean. FEMA basically just put this out. You see what I'm saying? But listen to this: Continuation of previous video clip Transcript: “…2030 and we do know that the United Nations has a 2030 agenda, that they are really pushing and we know that they are expediting the 2030 agenda because the World Economic Forum and the United Nations met in September of 2024 to speed up the 2030 Agenda. But make no mistake about it, this lithium is not just for electric car batteries. It's also for these Smart Cities, it's for these robots; it's for a lot of other technology that will be pushed on us, and they really need it for their 2030 agenda. They need a lot of it.” “So we have the same USGS finding anywhere between 5 and 19 million tons of lithium that will help supply the world 9 times over to help push along the 2030 agenda. While at the same time they are saying this is the exact location they are projecting to take the brunt of a New Madrid earthquake. You can't make it up. You cannot make this up even if you wanted to. And at the same time you have FEMA located in a state perfectly nestled in a spot to where they can roll out to these states that were affected by the New Madrid earthquakes.” Back to Richie: Now FEMA is positioning himself all the way around the New Madrid Fault line (zone), and it isn't to help you, it isn't to help you. You've already seen all the military trucks. You see what's going on. You have to. If you live in this area, revert back to what I've been telling you for the last 15 years and prepare yourselves. Prepare yourselves in every way you possibly can, but the most important way possible, the most important thing you can do is prepare yourself spiritually. I cannot stress that enough…     DS Scientists Conspire to Set Off Huge Earthquakes Sandy Shaw - 10/18/11 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was sitting and listening to a group of scientists argue and they were talking over my head with their scientific words. Half of the scientists were arguing, "We should not do that because we don't know what the ramifications of that are, nor do we know what chain reactions will take place". In the dream, I didn't know what "that" was referring to. The other half of the scientists begin arguing that they do know the outcome of that, as they have calculations and results from the previous times they have done it. One man from the group speaking against it interjected loudly with, "Not of this magnitude!". (Magnitude of course speaks of earthquakes. Will they set off a “chain reaction” of faults that all effect one another. They prepared them to do this. Sandy Shaw and Rick Sergent had almost the same revelation that quakes would cross the US in a chain reaction. Eve Brast had a revelation that 7 big quakes would go around the world. I believe they would use here a combination of HAARP, fracking, and their underground tunneling and explosions down those tunnels to connect faults as they have already done. Two of our brethren watched them deep penetration bombing the eastern fault line to get a portion of it ready. Also, they would use their Tesla frequency earthquake machines that they have underground.) There are many scriptures, dreams and visions that speak of Jesus coming in the Man-child body of reformers at the time of large earthquakes crossing the US. From scripture we see that history always repeats. Ecc 1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us. Jesus was the first New Testament Man-child who was a type for the coming Man-child body of reformers. Scripture shows that Jesus died with an “earthquake” and was risen to the throne with a “great earthquake” after three days. Jesus' resurrection was also accompanied by the “out resurrection” of saints who appeared to the people and history repeats. Php 3:11 if by any means I may attain unto the out-resurrection from the dead. (The Numeric pattern is in the original Greek words out-resurrection. Isa 64:1-4, Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence, (God's presence is coming with quakes. He is coming in His Man-child body by Word and Spirit, as it was with Jesus, as time will surely tell. They will come world-wide because the Church is now world-wide.) 2 as when fire kindleth the brushwood, and the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make thy name known to thine adversaries (This will be a great judgment on the wicked of the U.S. and the world.), that the nations may tremble at thy presence! (A great revival will spring from this. Many lost or apostate will turn to the Lord of the Bible.) 3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence. 4 For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God besides thee, who worketh for him that waiteth for him. (The righteous will be exonerated as judgment finally comes to the wicked who oppressed them.) Psa 97:5 The mountains melted like wax (Volcanic activity often follows earthquakes.) at the presence of Jehovah, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. I received this text that points out that when the Lord comes in spiritual Judah as the Man-child, the waters recede. Psa 114:1-8 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language; 2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 3 The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back. 4 The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. (The presence of the Lord causes earthquakes and the sea to flee away.) 5 What aileth thee, O thou (Red) sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? (Looks like an earthquake and tsunami.) 6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob, 8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters. I received this about a witness showing the gulf waters receding at least a half a mile out of Tampa Bay and Coral bay and other areas for over 12 hours. (This is proof that God can do this. This was seen in areas of the world where there wasn't a hurricane too, like it was at the Red Sea)  HURRICAN IAN UPDATE - NO WATER AT THE COAST IN THE GULF OF MEXICO We will notice that the great shaking is accompanied by the coming of Jesus in the Man-child and the change of fortunes for God's people as they go into the wilderness. It is all coming soon and we need to be ready. Hag 2:7 and I will shake all nations; and the precious (or desire) things (Things has No numeric pattern) of all nations shall come (Jesus in the Man-child is typed by Zerubbabel in this chapter and He comes with the shaking.); and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts (As we have seen Cyrus conquered Babylon and freed God's people giving a gift of Babylon's gold and silver to rebuild the temple which is now God's people) 9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place (The true house of God) will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. This shaking of all nations happens at the birth of the Man-child reformer ministry. It is only to happen once more since the time Paul wrote of it in Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him that warneth from heaven: 26 whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made (I.e. by man), that those things which are not shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken (The Kingdom of heaven is where God rules and we submit.), let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: Back to Hag 2:3 Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing? (i.e. The Church, the house of God, is a fake mess because it has departed from His Word.) 4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel (meaning: "born from Babylon" who represents the first fruits Man-child leadership to come out of Babylon apostasy to rebuild the Kingdom), saith Jehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts, 5 according to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt (through the Red Sea where the wicked were judged), and my Spirit abode among you: fear ye not. 6 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations (As we saw this was also spoken of by Paul in Hebrews 12:25-29 as the great shaking that separated those manmade church kingdoms who could be shaken from those who could not for they are in the Kingdom of God.); and the precious (desired) [things] (not numeric) of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. (This is the glory of the Lord's presence in the rebuilt temple of God's people) 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. (Cyrus'/ Trumps gift.) 9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, (Because the Latter Rain is greater than the Former Rain) saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts... 21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 22 and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms (The Deep State throne in the nations is falling now); and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; (The beast army is destroyed as at the Red Sea), every one by the sword of his brother (As when the nations came against Jerusalem, the Bride). 23 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith Jehovah of hosts. (A signet is a sign of Authority such as Mordecai and Joseph received as types of the Man-child body.) I am convinced that we must be entitled to the Passover of this judgment, which was paid for by Jesus, when it does come. Make sure your heart is right with God and your brethren by abiding in Jesus Christ.)   Earthquakes & Refuge Dream by Sandy Shaw - May 2011 Notes: [David | Deb Horton] In a dream, I saw the NYC skyline from a distance and it was shaking. All the skyscrapers and buildings were going back and forth. (This is the eastern fault line and the second most populous area in the US. God heard the prayers and it will not happen except for a small portion around TN.) I was taken near to the center of the nation where I could see both coasts of the country and I was hovering over a large crack in the ground. (New Madrid) I was facing south, with the Great Lakes behind me and the crack went all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. The ground began shaking and the new cracks began forming going back toward the East coast, moving in all directions like a fan very quickly. The shaking was constant from this point on but at different times it slowed down, becoming soft like tremors, and at other times it was shaking hard, violently. As the cracks were moving, they reached about half of the distance of the large crack (New Madrid) and then my attention was drawn to the right of me and I looked west of the New Madrid crack and saw cracks going in all directions toward the West Coast. They were cracks of many different sizes and they stopped at different places as they hit other cracks and then headed in different directions and some went all the way to the San Andreas fault in California. As these cracks hit the San Andreas, the ground was rising and falling to meet each other like hands coupling together as they join and then separate. California was shaking hard and at the same time so was the New Madrid area. The cracks began separating the areas where Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky meet and went all the way over to North Carolina. These cracks and many more are what isolate the boat-shaped piece of land in the Tennessee Valley and then I saw the crack around the boat fill with water. (Note: Although this italicized portion is a true prophetic dream, by God's grace it will not come to pass at this time, to the DS's dismay.) This is where I turned around to look at the Great Lakes, or where they were supposed to be, and all the water began rushing down, filling up all the areas in the center of the nation that have been affected by all the quakes.   It emptied these areas that split the U.S. Water flooded in from the Gulf of Mexico, as well. When all the flooding was done, many portions of the US were under water (the map below of dark areas roughly drawn). (Sandy said some of this water may be temporary but some will stay.) (This Italicised is not coming now.) ...During this dream, everything was happening in fast motion, but I knew that in reality it would happen over a slightly longer period of time. (We have heard that the Craton plate is drifting to the West, which would open up some faults that were before slip faults. This could be happening over a short period of time.) I had the exact same dream three times over a period of three months. This is important. Joseph said: Gen.41:32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. To sum this up, Sandy said that the New Madrid began to quake and then the West coast began to shake and Tennessee shook. Sandy said this sequence would happen over a longer period of time than in her dream but she didn't believe it was a very long period.     Confirmation of Earthquake Sequence Rick Sergent In March of 2011, I was given this vision from the Lord: I saw the word “Earthquake” suspended over a map of the United States. Three golden rods came from the word Earthquake. (Again, the Italicised is not coming now) One pointed to what I thought was just north of Washington, D.C. but was difficult to determine because it was more like a geography map and not showing cites. (The Eastern fault literally damaged the Washington Monument but the Lord annulled this major quake.) The second pointed to the Midwest (the New Madrid) and the third pointed to California. This seems to indicate the possibility of a series of quakes indicated in Sandy Shaw's dream, in a simpler form in my vision. (She mentioned these same places plus a lesser-known seismic zone in a boat shape in the TN Valley. I believe FEMA will not operate in the TN valley because Tren De Aragua terrorists have been sent instead. https://fox17.com/news/local/tbi-names-major-cities-in-tenn-infiltrated-by-violent-venezuelan-gang  However the Lord has said His angels have taken them down in Nashville and in Knoxville and Chattanooga in the East TN Valley.)     Confirmation Alenna Timoshchuk - 9/5/21 (David's notes in red) In my dream I started watching the weather report. I saw a map of the United States. There were three red dots on the right side of the U.S. going in a line from up to down. (This confirms Sandy's N.Y. quake dream that revealed that the large quakes would begin on the East Coast at NY in the U.S. This one was prayed down when the asteroid was to hit the fault line at Puerto Rico but God veered it out into space.) Then many red, zig zag lines spread out from each dot. It showed a great earthquake that was about to happen. (This is the New Madrid quake that is coming.) The weather man mentioned 3 states but I only remember Virginia and Louisiana, although when I looked up the map, Louisiana didn't make sense to me because that's not where the third dot was in the image I saw in my dream. (I believe her red dot was on the upper part of the eastern fault line. This old fault line is the NY/Alabama anomaly which goes through “Virginia” (confirmed) and it was found later to go through Alabama to “Louisiana” (confirmed) and into the Gulf where the BP oil well blew out under extreme pressure. This may have well lubricated this fault. I believe only a portion of this fault line will fall away which is where our two brethren saw them bunker buster bombing it in the Eastern TN Valley. But also Louisiana is around the Mississippi River coming from the New Madrid.) Then I saw the U.S. splitting from the point where those 3 dots (now 2 dots) were, moving in the shape of an L, going upwards. I was paying close attention to part of Tennessee because it looked like it was becoming an island (The TN Valley becomes a peninsula, almost an island.), and I wanted to make sure the state where we lived would be okay. Then I woke up. (Heb 12:26, ...Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.) More confirmations of the Lord coming in His Man-child body of reformers in the midst of great earthquakes. Psa 18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth. 8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it. 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet. Isa 13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 12 I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. (The Day of the Lord's wrath is twice, after the tribulation of the Bride at the beginning of the tribulation and after the tribulation of the Church at the end of the tribulation.) Isa 24:16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously (The DS Judas' destroy their own people.); yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously. 17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. 19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently. 20 The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again. (I believe we have learned that it will fall past the 23.5 degree where it is now.) 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. (The DS leadership is being destroyed) 22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited. (At the end of 1000 years they will be visited and brought to the Great White Throne Judgment.) This text is spoken against the King of Babylon DS, in Isa 14:4, the DS leadership, who are satanists under satan. Satan was cast down from heaven with his angels in Rev 12 by the warfare of the saints and also in Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations! (As Satan has used Babylonish DS to do using the might of the U.S.) 13 And thou saidst in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God (usurping authority over the saints.); and I will sit upon the mount of congregation (He wants Mt. Zions authority), in the uttermost parts of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall gaze at thee, they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; (Notice: A “man” representing a corporate man in the earth inhabited by Satan.) 17 that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that let not loose his prisoners to their home? 18 All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house. 19 But thou art cast forth away from thy sepulcher like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a dead body trodden under foot. 20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever. Joel 3:15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. 16 And Jehovah will roar from Zion (Notice His presence is on the earth in Zion.), and utter his voice from Jerusalem (The Bride); and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but Jehovah will be a refuge unto his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel. Nah 1:5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. 6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him. 7 Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge in him. As in Psalm 91; claim it.

Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/639  Presented By:  TroutRoutes Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/troutroutes  Welcome to another exciting episode where we dive deep into the Troutroutes app innovations and partnerships. Today, we are thrilled to have Erik Johnsen with us, a passionate fly fisherman who has transformed his love for the sport into a groundbreaking role at Troutroutes. As we explore the app's acquisition by OnX and its impressive features—from color-coded trout stream maps to a river miles calculator tool—it's clear that Erik and his team are revolutionizing how anglers navigate and enjoy their fishing experiences. Join us as we delve into Erik's insights, including his favorite fishing spots in Wisconsin and the hidden gems of the Driftless Area. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a curious beginner, this episode promises to inspire and inform, bringing the world of fly fishing to your fingertips. Episode Chapters with Erik Johnsen on Troutroutes App Feature Updates and Partnerships 1:51 - Erik shares his background on fly fishing, explaining that he is from the Upper Midwest and became interested in fly fishing while visiting the Driftless region with his wife. He learned to fly fish on his own about 15 years ago, driven by a desire to connect with his father-in-law, who was an avid fly fisherman. After many attempts, Erik finally succeeded in getting his father-in-law to join him, rekindling his enthusiasm for the sport. 4:54 - He shares his journey to working in Troutroutes. His entry into the fly fishing industry began unexpectedly during a fishing trip with a friend, who suggested he apply for a position at TroutRoutes. After a successful interview with founder Zach Pope, Erik joined the initial team to support the app's development. 8:19 - We delve into the recent acquisition of Troutroutes by OnX, a well-known mapping application used by anglers. Erik explains that this acquisition, which took place in March after years of networking and relationship building, has been a significant milestone for Troutroutes. 10:55 - He discusses the key features of the app. Troutroutes specializes in mapping trout streams across the lower 48 states, offering stream classifications that are color-coded to indicate the quality of trout habitat and ease of access. This feature is particularly useful for beginners in trout fishing or fly angling, helping them identify healthy trout populations and accessible fishing spots. Additionally, the app provides detailed maps that show public and private land boundaries and legal access points, ensuring anglers know where they can fish without trespassing. A standout feature Erik highlights is the river miles calculator tool, which allows users to measure the distance between any two points on a trout stream. This tool is especially beneficial for planning fishing trips, whether for floating, walking, or wading. It provides precise stream miles rather than straight-line distances, making it easier to gauge the actual distance and plan accordingly. 13:53 - Erik mentions that one of the primary challenges is helping users determine what information they need when looking at a map of trout streams. To mitigate this, they outline icons and explain filter and layer settings to make data interpretation easier. Another significant challenge is presenting extensive data in a way that is easy to read, filter, and sort. Erik emphasizes the importance of organizing data meaningfully for different user needs, such as regulations or public access. 16:56 - He says that while maps are accessible online, users can download specific sections for offline use, ensuring the GPS signal remains functional even without cell coverage. This feature enhances navigation and instills confidence, especially in unfamiliar areas. Erik elaborates on the process of downloading maps, which can be done directly on a smartphone. 22:29 - Erik highlights the integration of USGS stream gauges within the app, a feature that provides real-time river conditions, which is crucial for assessing fishing prospects. This feature allows users to gauge stream levels, flows, and heights before even stepping onto the water, offering a significant advantage and a delightful surprise for many users. 25:34 - Our conversation also touches on the importance of fly shops within the app, which Erik notes was a key element from the beginning. These shops are not just places to buy gear but community hubs for conservation activities and educational events. The app manually maps these shops, connecting users with local expertise and resources. 29:51 - Erik reflects on the company's success, particularly emphasizing the importance of community and partnerships. He explains that a pivotal moment occurred about a year and a half ago when they attended their first national fly fishing expos. Initially uncertain of the outcome, they were pleasantly surprised by the positive reception and the eagerness from industry members to collaborate. 32:17 - We dig into the complexities of water use laws and access regulations in different states. Erik explains that access to waterways can vary significantly depending on the state, season, and even water temperature. To navigate these varying regulations, their team compiles as much data as possible into their app, making it easier for users to find relevant information by simply tapping on a stream and accessing the "access laws" tab. This feature links users to up-to-date resources when regulations are subject to change. 36:24 - We discuss their partnership with RareWaters, emphasizing the value and benefits of the collaboration. Erik elaborates on how RareWaters aligns with their mission of increasing access to fishing spots. The partnership allows anglers to explore new fishing opportunities that were once restricted by private ownership. He appreciates the dedication of RareWaters' team to conservation and public access advocacy, highlighting their collaboration with Colorado Trout Unlimited and efforts to support local businesses. 41:05 - Erik commends the Driftless Angler, highlighting their excellent fishing reports. He also expresses his excitement about exploring the less accessible streams in the Driftless Area, which is rich in fishing opportunities yet often overlooked compared to other regions. 44:35 - We ask Erik about potential destinations in Wisconsin, particularly for a fly fishing trip. Erik suggests stopping by Viroqua, a central hub for fly fishing. He also highlights the charm of hidden dive bars in the backwoods, which often don't have signs but offer unique and inviting atmospheres. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/639 

It's highly likely recent earthquakes felt in North Texas are related to oil and gas operations, according to a United States Geological Survey geophysicist. Last week, West Texas earthquakes sent tremors through the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The largest was recorded at a 5.1 magnitude Friday morning, according to the USGS, and five were recorded at a magnitude greater than 4.
