Take a break from your day and witness the beauty of this rare reverse waterfall in Utah

NTB Staff ··Jan 25, 2023 · NottheBee.com

Okay guys, this is quite possibly the most beautiful video on the internet right now.

A photographer and his drone battled wind gusts of up to 60 mph in Ivins, Utah to capture this amazing phenomenon commonly referred to as a reverse waterfall.

Check it out:

Seriously the most incredible day for such unique conditions! Just a small snippet of hours of content I shot today. In the last 20 years I can only remember a couple of time the waterfalls in Kayenta (Utah) flowed backwards! My drone struggled against the 60 mph wind over the cliff edge!

A thing of absolute beauty!

And video on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rjhooperphotography/videos/1671850723212713/

I'll do just that right now. About 6:45PM and just finished dinner and am feeling a bit strange.

One Of The Closest Asteroid Approaches Ever Predicted ...

The asteroid will skim just 3,600 kilometers (2,237 miles) overhead, closer to people below than we are to the center of the Earth.

STEPHEN LUNTZ

Predictions of close asteroid approaches are becoming common as we gain more knowledge of objects with Earth-crossing orbits. Nevertheless, the passage of 2023 BU over South America shortly after midnight GMT tonight is on quite a different scale.

Many astronomers define a close approach as coming inside the orbit of the Moon, although more distant passages still attract attention if the object in question is large enough. Tonight 2023 BU’s will briefly be 100 times closer than that, causing it to leave on an entirely different orbit.

Nevertheless, 2023 BU won’t exactly be skimming the atmosphere, and indeed will be 3,000 kilometers (1,800 miles) further from the planet’s surface than the International Space Station or most other low-Earth orbit satellites. On the other hand, it will be ten times closer than satellites in geosynchronous orbit. 

A collision with 2023 BU wouldn’t have been disastrous either, at least on a planetary scale. At somewhere between 3.5 and 8.5 meters across (11-28 feet), this is no dinosaur killer....

Due Diligence and Art - Art piece for today

by Sacha Latypova

...after selling my company and exiting full-time work, I wanted to learn art. I was always interested in it, and had studied a little after school as a child. So, I started taking drawing classes and workshops and was able to go to Italy for a few months for a more formal course of study. My daughter came with me for some of the months and we spent some truly quality time together in Florence.

Be not afraid. I learned this from my daughter, who is a successful entrepreneur herself, and a person of strength, character and faith. Faith is something I have discovered on a much deeper level in these past couple of years. By popular demand, I will be including some of my artwork with my posts... They have nothing to do with each other, for the most part. The painting of Daniel was completed in 2021. It is oil on linen, 50x36 inches. I cannot explain the process of composing it other than “it came to me this way”. There was simply no other way to see it.

Astronaut Col. James B. Irwin

HISTORIC AMERICAN HERO

Since the beginning of time until now, only twelve men have placed their feet on a celestial body, the moon. Colonel James B. Irwin was one of them.

History books tell of his historic space adventure but do not reveal the incredible life he led after his return to earth. He spent the next 20 years of his life reaching for a higher goal, one even higher than leaving the earth's atmosphere in search of new discoveries. This adventure was to reach out to his fellow man, and help them reach their Highest Flight In Life. He traveled around the globe with his family sharing his unique experience and a message of hope and encouragement.

His historic flight to the moon on board Apollo 15 on July 26 - August 7, 1971 was a once in a lifetime opportunity. He was the 8th man to step on the moon's surface and his flight was the first to drive the lunar rover. These astronauts have a place in history along with other famous explorers such as Columbus, the Wright Brothers and others, which have changed the course of our lives.

From Astronaut Col. James B. Irwin Biographical datahttps://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/irwin_james.pdf excerpt here:

NASA EXPERIENCE: Colonel Irwin was one of the 19 astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966. He was crew commander of lunar module (LTA-8)—this vehicle finished the first series of thermal vacuum tests on June 1, 1968. He also served as a member of the astronaut support crew for Apollo 10 and as backup lunar module pilot for the Apollo 12 flight. Irwin served as lunar module pilot for Apollo, July 26 to August 7, 1971. His companions on the flight were David R. Scott, spacecraft commander and Alfred M. Worden, command module pilot. Apollo 15 was the fourth manned lunar landing mission and the first to visit and explore the moon’s Hadley Rille and Apennine Mountains which are located on the southeast edge of the Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains). The lunar module, “Falcon”, remained on the lunar surface for 66 hours, - more - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Biographical Data Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center Houston, Texas 77058 54 minutes—setting a new record for lunar surface stay time—and Scott and Irwin logged 18 hours and 35 minutes each in extravehicular activities conducted during three separate excursions onto the lunar surface. Using “Rover-l” to transport themselves and their equipment along portions of Hadley Rille and the Apinnine Mountains, Scott and Irwin performed a selenological inspection and survey of the area and collected approximately 180 pounds of lunar surface materials. They deployed an ALSEP package which involved the emplacement and activation of surface experiments, and their lunar surface activities were televised in color using a TV camera which was operated remotely by ground controllers stationed in the mission control center located at Houston, Texas. Other Apollo 15 achievements included: largest payloads ever placed in earth and lunar orbits; first scientific instrument module bay flown and operated on an Apollo spacecraft; longest distance traversed on lunar surface; first use of a lunar surface navigation device, mounted on Rover 1; first subsatellite launched in lunar orbit; and first extravehicular activity (EVA) from a command module during transearth coast. The latter feat was accomplished by Worden during three excursions to “Endeavour’s” SIM bay where he retrieved film cassettes from the panoramic and mapping cameras and reported his personal observations of the general condition of equipment housed there. Apollo 15 concluded with a Pacific splashdown and subsequent recovery by the USS OKINAWA. In completing his first flight, Irwin logged 295 hours and 11 minutes in space—19 hours and 46 minutes of which were in EVA. Colonel Irwin resigned from NASA and the Air Force in July 1972, to form a religious organization, High Flight Foundation, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He is Chairman of the Board. AUGUST 1972

And this post for you: Treasure Hunting: https://www.highflightfoundation.org/highflight-blog/item/treasure-hunting

"My favorite hobby used to be treasure hunting with a metal detector. Before we left on a trip to the Middle East, a “Master 500” Garrett Detector was given to my husband, Jim, by the inventor and manufacturer, Charles Garrett. Charles and his son were going with us on an expedition to the Red Sea to search for chariot parts related to the Biblical story in Exodus 14. It is written that after the Israelites had crossed the seabed to safety, the walls of water were released and engulfed Pharaoh’s army of horses, men and chariots.

Jim was an avid adventurer, but he was more interested in searching for the ancient ark of Noah than in hunting for small underwater objects. To me, the thought of looking for and finding lost treasure piqued my imagination, therefore the detector became mine..."

 

"...My spiritual hope rests in the words of JESUS that are recorded in Matthew 6:19-21 (TLV). “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in or steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”....

 

"Heavenly rewards will come from our acts of love, generosity, and faith, and are far more valuable."...

ChatGPT's Epic Shortcoming

The world needs an AI that's less like a human and more like a machine

"The ADHD diagnosis and its treatment were almost singlehandedly invented by one brilliant researcher, Dr. Keith Conners. I say “almost” because he had a famous mentor, Dr. Leon Eisenberg, who helped the young Conners get recognition for his early work.

Let’s start with Eisenberg. One of the most influential psychiatrists of the 20th century, he was quick to regret his role in promulgating the ADHD diagnosis and soon distanced himself from Conners’ use of stimulants in children (Eisenberg wisely distrusted the subjective judgments of teachers on what was going on inside a child’s mind, and asked whether it was the teachers, and not the children, who needed psychiatric help). Eisenberg further denounced both the influence of Big Pharma and the “dreadful” childhood ADHD diagnostic process shortly before his death.

As towering a figure as Eisenberg is, however, he is peripheral to the story. The real driving force behind ADHD was always Conners. He devoted his entire career to it and is universally acknowledged as “the Father of ADHD.” He created the diagnostic criteria, pioneered the use of stimulants, and spent decades traveling the country popularizing his ideas and training other doctors in how to diagnose and treat ADHD. And then, towards the end of his life, he finally took a step back and saw he had created a monster. He realized, painfully, that he had been an unwitting pawn of Big Pharma. He encountered, too late, the horrible stories of minds ruined, lives destroyed, by the medicines he popularized. He ended his career not promoting ADHD, but denouncing it with passion, apologizing for his work on behalf of pharmaceutical companies and calling the state of ADHD in America “a national disaster of dangerous proportions.”

Yes, a national disaster. Unlike my introduction, that was not from a hypothetical conference, but a very real one. You can read Conners’ whole tragic story in former New York Times reporter Alan Schwarz’s fascinating book ADHD Nation: Children, Doctors, Big Pharma, and the Making of an American Epidemic."
