For years, biology textbooks claimed the coccyx was a useless leftover from our evolutionary past—evidence of a tail we no longer need. Skeptics often wondered how people refused to accept Darwin and his scientific fact that life descended from lower animals. But is that really the case? In this episode, we explore the real purpose of the coccyx, debunk the myth of it being a "vestigial tail," and uncover how even the tiniest parts of our anatomy point to our Creator.CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Towering peaks. Magnetic vortexes. Phantom lights. And over 20,000 missing people. In this episode, Stormy Willow steps into the shadows of the Alaska Triangle, where disappearances outnumber explanations, and the wilderness whispers with legends older than the map itself.

In this episode, we dive into a popular talking point in evolutionary biology—vestigial organs. Once hailed as "proof" of Darwinian evolution, organs like the human tonsils were commonly cited as leftover structures with no real purpose. But is that really true? Join us as we explore how this claim made its way into classrooms and textbooks—and why it's being challenged even today. Whether you're a science enthusiast, skeptic, or just curious, this episode will give you a thought-provoking look at how the tonsils are understood to be part of God's incredible and purposeful design for the human body.CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

//The Wire//2300Z June 20, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: STRATEGIC AVIATION AND NAVAL FORCES CONTINUE STAGING IN MIDDLE EAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Targeting efforts by Iranian forces continue with multiple missile strikes being reported in Haifa overnight, targeting the Negev Advanced Technologies Park. Israeli targeting continues in similar fashion in Tehran. The United Kingdom has evacuated their Embassy in Tehran, and the United States continues to maneuver substantial resources into the Middle East. Maersk has announced that they are suspending all operations in the port city of Haifa while the war remains kinetic.AC: This afternoon a 5.4M earthquake was detected originating in the vicinity of Tehran. Considering that tensions are extremely high throughout the region, this has led many to theorize that some sort of weapons test was carried out (as nuclear tests are normally detected by seismic sensors). However, at the moment, nothing points to this outcome. The USGS plots the earthquake at an estimated depth of 10km, which is far deeper than a nuclear test would be. Additionally, the seismic signature of a man-made explosive device can easily be discerned from natural phenomenon, so if it was a man-made blast every seismologist in the world will be able to verify it.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the war continues in the Middle East, a bit of background knowledge may be helpful in understanding the grand strategy of the military tactics at hand. Both Israel and Iran are unique nations in that geography separates them, yet neither have any real expeditionary capability. In short, if a nation is at war with another...but doesn't share a land border or have a military with an amphibious capability... the most that nation can do is more or less to lob missiles at their adversary. So far, both nations have relied upon this long-distance targeting means as their primary way of waging war: Iran launches missiles, and the Israelis drop bombs.However, Israeli military doctrine is heavily reliant upon deception and subterfuge in order to project influence even within the nations they are at war with. Right now, it is becoming more clear that Israeli Special Forces are able to operate on the ground within Iran, in many cases with impunity. Israel was able to create a "drone base" in the desert from which their initial attacks were launched within Iran itself (echoing Ukraine's sneak attack in Russia). Similarly, Iranian forces have discovered several instances of equipment emplaced on the ground very close to sensitive sites; overnight the Iranians discovered a remotely-controlled Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) launcher emplaced outside Tehran, in addition to a small truck that was laden with drones (again, exactly as was used by Ukraine recently). Several propaganda videos of strikes in Iran have raised questions as to exactly how the footage was taken. For example, Israeli forces released the footage of the strikes on the Arak Heavy Water facility...footage which appears to have been filmed from an elevated position on the ground...not from a drone as one might expect.This will be important to consider as American involvement appears be looming. In less than two months, large-scale sneak-attacks via drones and asymmetric warfare tactics have become normalized in two major conflicts. This is not a threat that is years away; this threat has gone from the drawing board to operationally proven (twice) in just a few weeks.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

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 ».

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.

Over the last 2,000 years, critics have tried—and failed—to destroy Christianity. One of their claims is that the Gospel accounts of Jesus' resurrection contradict each other. But is that really the case? In this episode, we take a deeper look at who went to the tomb on that first Easter morning and why the differences in the Gospel narratives are not contradictions, but complementary portraits of the risen Christ. Through Scripture, logic, and a story from an old art class, we'll uncover the harmony within the fourfold Gospel and affirm the truth of the resurrection.

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.

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.

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: Exploring Pennsylvania's History Through Aerial Photography

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.
