Put your #lighting history knowledge to the test for #NationalTriviaDay! Q: Which city has the distinction of being the first electrically lighted city in the world? Head to the Radiant History blog, sponsored by naturaLED, to find the answer: https://bit.ly/47hOuWo #LightingDesign

#Meltology: https://lnkd.in/ePcTFM9m "melted-buildings" in "Our Melted Reality", so you think you may know where you live, how many do you believe are aware, how many understand our position, how many are informing others, what cataclysmic-forces have taken place, do you know this place where you've arrived, have you explored through this "truth-community", their pages, their videos, all their information, have you read through many of these ramblings at these sites, have you had the chance to study through satellite-views, historical-accounts, impactites [rocks], have you seen current narratives, have you compared this to observable events... ...well, what do you think, have you, have we all been indoctrinated with delusion, shall we go over a few once again... you think ,maybe Cortes felt like destroying twelve of his own thirteen ships, then these conquistadors went and buried the massive city of Tenochtitlan, nevermind all the rest, you think maybe a couple volcanoes with nicknames could have fell "sixty-six million years ago", do you wonder what could have emptied Cahokia, Illinois, or what had sank Seattle, wonder why there's an Atlanta and Birmingham underground, was California an island, why did the copper-mines go under, how did fort Jefferson and fort Livingston end up way off in the Gulf, how come so many cities and pyramidal-complexes are covered over with foliage, why do we have so many pictures of so many broken churchbells, & yet many in position have made determination "those churchbells ringing was just a myth", and IF a #comet appears "fifty-percent larger than the Sun", what types of disruption may this cause... -you think it may have been #meteor-impacts... -bring back our lost #Antiquitech-"find the truths behind the myths" #shockdynamics #impactphysics #planetarydefense #educationreform

Happy #WinterSolstice! Check out this blog post by Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC) that explains the science behind the summer solstice, winter solstice, and equinoxes! ⤵️ #SmithsonianEdu

On the Great Barrier reef, the most extreme daytime low tides occur during the winter months of June, July and August around the full moon. Much of the reef flat and reef crest is exposed at these times, and some corals will spend several hours out of water, which can cause bleaching or mortality in the upper parts of the colony. This exposure stress limits how far coral colonies can grow into the intertidal zone. The extreme low tides do however present great opportunities for marine science, especially aerial surveys using photography and videography to quantify coral cover and growth forms over large areas of the reef very quickly. This video footage was taken in Geoffrey Bay on Yunbenun (Magnetic Island), an inshore fringing reef only 11km from the mainland, and it clearly demonstrates the high coral cover, biodiversity and spatial complexity of the coral community at this site. As we approach another potentially very hot summer where bleaching may occur, it is important to have this sort of detailed image information that has clear spatial and temporal accuracy so that we can make informed, scientific measurements of the true impacts of those events.

Cesar Ducruet and I have the pleasure of introducing the second chapter of our edited book about port systems to you. In Chapter 2 on "Evolutionary models of port system development – an application to the Latin American and Caribbean port system", PortEconomics.eu members Gordon Wilmsmeier and Jason Monios critically discuss spatial models of the evolution of port systems from the 1960s to the present, identifying key trends such as concentration and deconcentration, the role of transshipment hubs, and the changes in port governance and port competition. These trends are then illustrated empirically with examples from different ranges of the Latin American and Caribbean port system.

Francie Scanlon - "I am Preservation" As we continue to celebrate our 50th anniversary we are highlighting a video series called “I am Preservation” to exhibit the widespread love of landmarks throughout New York City. We want to show how important historic preservation is to so many people. Please join in the celebration and send us your video. We will post clips throughout the rest of the year on our many social media platforms. TIPS for making your own “I am Preservation” video. Say your name, and if you like, the neighborhood that you live in. Briefly comment on what you love about New York City landmarks or a specific historic building, place, or structure. And, finish by saying “I am Preservation!” Film in landscape mode (hold smartphone horizontally) If you can’t film yourself, maybe have a friend film you in front of a landmark or your favorite historic building or structure. Be aware of your surroundings (street-level noise, etc.) Check your lighting. If possible, you don’t want to be in an area that is too dark or too bright. Set up your shot (minimize things that might be distracting on screen) We are looking for short clips. Thirty seconds at maximum. Make eye contact, don’t forget to smile. Speak up and enunciate your words. We want viewers to hear you. Send your finished video clips to photos@nylandmarks.org Have fun! OTHER DETAILS By submitting videos, participants certify that the clips provided are theirs and grant The New York Landmarks Conservancy the right to usage. The Conservancy reserves the right to edit or reject submissions. The “I am Preservation” campaign is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Facebook or any other social media. By submitting your video, you agree that clips or still images can be used by The New York Landmarks Conservancy for social media posts, email campaigns, and printed publications.
