I don't know, bro. Where I live, we've had a few earthquakes in the past few days. It's a very rare thing up here where I am, aside from a few rock bursts but, this is different. I don't know what's going on with the Canadian Shield right now but, ....

Iridium Communications Inc. (formerly Iridium Satellite LLC) headquartered at 1750 Tysons Blvd., McLean, Virginia has a system of 66 active satellites for those heavy ultra-expensive Sat phones.

After spectacular cost & failure they went bankrupt in '99 but the DoD bailed them out and in 2001 for pennies on the dollar, wiping out some $4 Billion in debt and later approving the fire sale to a group of private investors.
Iridium Satellite LLC merged with a special purpose acquisition company (GHQ) created by the investment bank Greenhill & Co. in Sept 2009 to create Iridium Communications Inc. The public company trades on Nasdaq under the symbol "IRDM". The company surpassed one million subscribers in March 2018.

Iridium manages several operations centers, including Tempe, Arizona and Leesburg, Virginia. The system is/was being used by the DoD.

A few of Greenhill & Co. clients include GlaxoSmithKline, London Stock Exchange Group, Safeway, Tesco (UK retailer/grocery chain), Teva (UK big Pharma), and the US Department of Treasury.

Iridium CloudConnect is the first and only satellite cloud-based solution offering truly global coverage for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This new service combines Iridium IoT capabilities with Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT and cloud services extending customers’ IoT reach to the more than 80 percent of the earth that lacks terrestrial coverage.
Aireon LLC, a joint venture of Iridium and five air traffic control organizations, completed final testing and certification of its space-based ADS-B payload in 2019 and is now in operational use with air traffic control agencies over the North Atlantic and other international air traffic corridors.
Aireon also in McLean, VA and partnered with FlightAware to provide space-based ADS-B to Qatar Airways.
2019 Annual report
Ultraviolet blood irradiation (UBI) was extensively used in the 1940s and 1950s to treat many diseases including septicemia, pneumonia, tuberculosis, arthritis, asthma and even poliomyelitis. The early studies were carried out by several physicians in USA and published in the American Journal of Surgery. However with the development of antibiotics, UBI use declined and it has now been called “the cure that time forgot”. Later studies were mostly performed by Russian workers and in other Eastern countries and the modern view in Western countries is that UBI remains highly controversial.
This chapter discusses the potential of UBI as an alternative approach to current methods used to treat infections, as an immune-modulating therapy and as a method for normalizing blood parameters. No resistance of microorganisms to UV irradiation has been reported, and multi- antibiotic resistant strains are as susceptible as their wild-type counterparts. Low and mild doses of UV kill microorganisms by damaging the DNA, while any DNA damage in host cells can be rapidly repaired by DNA repair enzymes.
Long paper if interested.
UV irradiation of blood was hailed as a miracle therapy for treating serious infections in the 1940s and 1950s. In an ironic quirk of fate, this historical time period coincided with the widespread introduction of penicillin antibiotics, which were rapidly found to be an even bigger medical miracle therapy. Moreover another major success of UBI, which was becoming increasingly used to treat polio, was also eclipsed by the introduction of the Salk polio vaccine in 1955 [91]. UBI had originally been an American discovery, but then was transitioned to being more studied in Russia and other eastern countries, which had long concentrated on physical therapies for many diseases, which were more usually treated with drugs in the West.
If we believe and God exists, great reward; if God does not exist, at least we were good people. If we don’t believe and God does not exist, no harm; if God does exist, we may be screwed.
Pascal's Wager has been one of the most frequently used arguments in favor of religious belief. Many theists have used it, to their knowledge or not. However it's far from impeccable. Consequently it can be refuted by following the steps below.

Zinc orotate, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K2 provide protection against all viruses, with no downside.
Thanks for the tip! Can I ask: I’ e been taking zinc Picolinate (read it was the best version). Why do you recommend zinc orotate?
Just wondering on which one to click the buy button! Thanks!
American Bridge 21st Century, a far-left organization created by Media Matters for America founder and progressive political operative David Brock, may have violated its tax-exempt status by engaging in political activities while describing itself as a nonprofit, according a complaint filed Thursday with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
“Behind the scenes, (Brock’s) network of organizations have engaged in very troubling behavior that warrants serious investigation,” said Craig Robinson, founder of The Patriots Foundation.

“So, I want to point out that the ice cream she’s talking about actually comes from a small business,” Goldberg began. “I know that because I send this ice cream out to people, and she is one of the people that is fighting to make sure that small businesses are able to get the testing they need and the stuff that they need.”
