WASHINGTON, DC: National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) 2024 "40 Years of Hope" Celebration, Sept. 26, 2024
NCMEC held its “40 Years of Hope” celebration on Sept. 26, 2024, at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. For 40 years, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has been the leading global nonprofit in child protection. Over the past four decades, NCMEC has assisted with the safe recovery of more than 400,000 missing children, stopped the spread of millions of child sexual abuse images, and protected children with groundbreaking prevention education around the world.

Brest, port des records - A Brest, les marins d’exception ont désormais leur promenade « Brest, port des records » sur l’emblématique quai Eric Tabarly au port du Château.
Brest est le port de départ et d'arrivée de grands exploits maritimes et sportifs à la voile : Trophée Jules Verne, Tour du monde, traversée de l’Atlantique. Philippe Monnet et Olivier de Kersauson ont ouvert la voie à la fin des années 1980. Depuis, avec le soutien technique de Brest Evénements Techniques, tous les chasseurs de record (les Peyron, Joyon, Coville, Stamm…) viennent s'amarrer à Brest. En solitaire, en équipage, sur monocoques... ce sont 24 performances qui sont rattachées à Brest.

Exploiting the lack of cars to snap a photo of Wisconsin avenue. It looks lovely with the fall covered trees...

Silicified stromatolite boundstone with oolites from the Precambrian of Minnesota, USA. (cut surface)
Northern Minnesota’s Mesabi Iron Range has numerous iron mines that exploit the Biwabik Iron-Formation (upper Paleoproterozoic, ~1.878 billion years). The Biwabik contains numerous iron-rich lithologies. The most visually intriguing lithology is stromatolitic ferruginous chert (stromatolitic jasper) (a.k.a. “Mary Ellen Jasper”). Stromatolites also occur in other specific lithologies - this specimen is a silicified stromatolite boundstone. Oolites are common in the sediment infilling between the stromatolites. The light-colored, convex-upward, layered, columnal structures in the rock are the stromatolites, which are built up by mats of cyanobacteria living in (typically) very shallow marine settings. The layering of stromatolites is principally the result of tidally rhythmic deposition of sediments atop the cyanobacterial mats.
These stromatolites have been assigned to Collenia undosa.
What’s especially intriguing about “Mary Ellen Jasper” and other stromatolite rocks in the Biwabik Iron-Formation is the sinuosity of the stromatolite columns. This has been considered to represent tracking of the sun over many seasons. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic and, like sunflowers, they “want to face the Sun”, wherever it is. Summer-winter seasonal changes in the sun's position in the sky will be expected to result in stromatolite sinuosity.
Precambrian sinuous stromatolites from elsewhere have been used to show that the number of days per year has changed through time. Earth used to be rotating much more quickly than at present. The duration of the year hasn’t changed through time, but the rotation rate has. The early Earth had more than 1000 days per year!
Stratigraphy: Biwabik Iron-Formation, Paleoproterozoic, ~1.878 Ga
Locality: near the Mary Ellen Mine, near Biwabik, central St. Louis County, northeastern Minnesota, USA
