This Storm chaser and photographer captured one of the most beautiful supercell skies you’ll ever see over the small town of Lorenzo, Nebraska.

Another major environmental catastrophe that impacts on climate and world trade, but it is not on the radar. The following link is a good video of the Sargassum problem, a pelagic seaweed floating on the surface of the ocean. When we sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, we got stuck three times in giant mats of Sargassum. The video gives a good explanation of what happens in the Caribbean when it washes ashore, but it misses the major environmental and economic implications that have a profound impact on world trade and marine life in an entire ocean. The Sargassum starts off from the coast of Brazil; it picks up nutrients from the Amazon and grows at an accelerated rate. It can double in biomass every 10 days. The weed crosses the South Atlantic to Africa and flows up the west coast, picking up more nutrients from the Congo and Gambia as well as agricultural run-off. By the time it reaches North Africa, Cape Verde, it takes a left turn and starts heading back across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. There should only be 1 million tonnes of the weed in the Atlantic, but there are now 40 million, and it is expanding year on year. Sargassum is a plant, and like all plants, it requires nutrients such as phosphate. However, the massive amount of weed uses up all the phosphate and then biochemically defaults to absorbing arsenic, which sits below phosphate in the periodic table. The Equatorial Atlantic is now devoid of phosphate, which means there is almost no phytoplankton, zooplankton or fish. When we conducted our citizen science project, 5000 samples were collected by 25 yachts at around 15 deg. North, and the results all confirmed that the Equatorial Atlantic was effectively dead. The results were not ignored by the academics; instead, they attacked the Citizen Science project, this has become the subject of a reports by seethroughnews.org. Given the phytoplankton, such as coccolithophores and diatoms, have exhibited a regime shift, it also means the SML oil surfactant layer is gone, which means evaporation across the air-water interface has increased and aerosol/cloud formation has decreased. Satellite. Imagery confirms a 10% increase in humidity and a 10% decrease in cloud formation and rain. This is climate change TICC, the consequences. Impact on Central America, the survival of the tropical rainforests, mangroves, coral reefs, 25% of all marine life in the Atlantic and water supply for the Panama Canal. 6% of world trade and 40% of USA trade pass through the canal, and it has been totally missed as a major economic and environmental catastrophe.

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics. this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

José Antonio González came to this country at nine years old. He spent 38 years here — painting houses, delivering appliances, paying taxes, raising a family. In December 2025, the United States put him on a plane and deported him, not to Cuba where he was born, but to Mexico, a country he's never lived in. And here's the part that makes it unforgettable: his entire family — his wife, his kids, his in-laws, his 82-year-old mother, all U.S. citizens — voted for Donald Trump in 2024. In his words: "My entire family voted for Trump, but we didn't know this was going to happen." In 2024, a record 68% of Cuban-Americans in Miami-Dade backed Trump. Since then, more than 4,300 Cubans have been deported to Mexico. Watch: youtu.be/l7s3N2TCpNo

#LifeHappens Caring for a family member that has been stricken with dementia psychosis is not a easy task. It can be as traumatic for the caregiver as it is for the patient. "Dementia psychosis is a condition in which individuals with dementia experience hallucinations or delusions, reflecting a break from reality due to neurological changes in the brain. " Definition and Overview Dementia psychosis occurs when a person with dementia develops psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not present) or delusions (firmly held false beliefs) 📷WebMD 1. Unlike general confusion or agitation, psychosis involves a distinct break from reality that cannot be corrected by reasoning 📷scienceinsights.org. It is most commonly associated with types of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, and Parkinson’s disease dementia 📷Healthline 1.

#SatcomNorm it does help tremendously whenever one has the ability to generate a signal at a specific frequency for testing purposes instead of having to wait on satellite passes for a signal that is of a relative short duration to do accurate system optimizations. Large Scale Integration along with Oriental production technology has made available such basic essential test gadgets at a affordable price.
