Hi there, I am Mark Blunden, and that is The Customary’s Tech and Science Day by day podcast.
Developing, snow lastly falls on Japan’s Mount Fuji after record-breaking heat spell.
I need to thank the American folks for the extraordinary honour of being elected, your forty seventh president and your forty fifth president.
Sure, Donald Trump’s been re-elected President of the USA, beating his rival Kamala Harris by some margin.
Tech and Science Day by day seems at Crew Trump’s digital communication technique, huge tech backing and his all-important determination to guess huge on podcasts, notably Joe Rogan, and the way this in comparison with the Democratic candidates’ media recreation plan.
Mark Borkowski is founding father of Borkowski PR, a specialist in disaster and digital communications.
He walks us by means of Trump’s media technique.
I believe Trump’s strategic embrace of podcasts, I believe we are going to decide it as a masterstroke in connecting notably with the youthful, predominantly male demographic that he wanted, and on peering on platforms like Joe Rogan and the previous weekend with Yvonne, a Trump tapped into audiences that conventional media usually overlooks.
These appearances allowed him to current what Trump is, a extra unfiltered persona.
You already know, and it resonated with the listeners who really had been searching for that Trump authenticity over the place the opposite campaigns had been enjoying with that type of over-polished rhetoric.
And we requested how this in contrast with the technique of Crew Harris.
Kamala Harris is technique was in distinction to that.
She leaned closely on conventional retailers.
She seemed for high-profile endorsements, in a method, a standard presidential marketing campaign.
And I believe she lacked a focused place of Trump.
He is a showman, however really by no means underestimate his understanding of the group.
And I believe that got here out notably with Joe Rogan.
I imply, there was sure sections in Joe Rogan the place he was fairly irrevential to Trump and defined to Trump his personal reputation, which I believed listening to the podcast or watching a podcast in that case, that Trump was type of shocked by it.
However Harris’ marketing campaign actually underestimated the shifting media consumption habits, notably amongst the younger voters.
There was additionally the position of social media, notably Elon Musk’s ex.
And we had been eager to know in regards to the intersection between social media posting and getting out to vote.
I believe we have to get a steadiness about this between social media engagement and motion to precise votes.
And I believe the correlation in all probability is tenuous at finest.
The important thing issue for me is what Elon Musk has completed with X.
And I believe his monetary contributions actually, and his donations, Trump marketing campaign.
I imply, actually when that occurred, raised eyebrows and questions in regards to the affect of those tech moguls, notably in politics.
However I believe he was important, not solely offering a monetary enhance, but in addition a sign to his huge following, a tactic of endorsement of Trump’s candidacy.
So I believe that was actually essential.
And with Musk now, and Trump’s in a circle, all eyes can be on Silicon Valley and any strikes in the direction of deregulation.
You may’t ignore the truth that the Silicon Valley giants wished to see Trump in energy, notably for deregulation and fewer curbs on them.
And so successfully, how sure messages had been turbocharged, if you happen to’re contained in the camp with, say, X, and it’s going to be profound, and you have to consider locations like Rumble and the opposite channels he is utilizing, you recognize, as a result of we’re reaching an age the place persons are disengaged with mainstream media.
And that’s, in my view, a large, large drawback for democracy.
Now, the primary snowfall has been recorded on Japan’s well-known image postcard Mount Fuji after a record-breaking delay for the primary time in 130 years after unseasonably heat climate.
The most recent that Mount Fuji has ever had snow is the twenty sixth of October.
And that was earlier than this yr.
And so it ought to be capped with a gorgeous snow cap.
Snow ought to have been falling from when the mountain climbing season ends, from about 2nd of October.
The report has been prolonged by 10 days from the final longest yr.
And it is the longest that Mount Fuji has ever not had snow on it.
Adam Smith, a post-doctoral analysis affiliate on the College of Glasgow, who specialises in numerical modelling within the College of Geographical and Earth Sciences.
Usually you’d have snow falling on the tops of mountains as a result of air is cooler.
And so you may have these moist parcels of air that are available in, are blocked by the mountain, are compelled to rise after which they cool, after which they snow on the highest of the mountain.
However clearly the temperatures are so excessive in October this yr, and all through the summer season in Japan, that the air isn’t chilly sufficient to condense rainfall into snow, and also you not have that freezing course of, and so that you simply do not have snow falling on the highest of the mountain.
The dearth of powder falling on the virtually 12,400 toes tall peak breaks the earlier report when snow didn’t arrive till October the sixteenth in 2016.
The common October temperature is minus 2 levels Celsius on the summit, however this yr it was 1.6 levels C, and that is a report excessive since 1932.
We’re now seeing this pattern in warming temperatures and excessive climate occasions.
And I believe it is a sample that we have actually seen within the final decade.
Ten of the very best years on common have come from the final decade.
You had the strongest hurricane season this season, the Class 5 hurricanes which have devastated Florida.
You now have snowfall coming very late in Japan.
And that is actually a pattern that we’re seeing internationally.
Now, a examine by Bavaria’s Regensburg College suggests being extra lively within the morning and night may minimize the danger of bowel most cancers by 11%.
Researchers recommend that highlighting particular occasions when bodily exercise is most useful may pave the way in which for focused most cancers prevention methods.
The examine used knowledge from the UK Biobank to evaluate round 86,000 folks aged 42 to 79 who had their bodily exercise tracked by sporting an accelerometer on their wrist.
Some 529 instances of bowel most cancers occurred over a follow-up interval of half a decade, however the workforce discovered two day by day peaks in exercise at round 8am and 6pm was related to diminished colorectal most cancers threat past the advantages of general bodily exercise.
Developing, why wood satellites being despatched into house, plus an emperor penguin pops up in Australia over 2000 miles from dwelling.
Should you’re new right here, ensure that to present us a observe and a score.
In a beautiful fusion of excessive and low tech, the world’s first wood satellite tv for pc has been blasted into house.
It is a part of a undertaking that goals to analyse the position that timber can play to cut back house junk.
It’s because scientists at Japan’s Kyoto College count on the wood components of the satellite tv for pc to simply fritter away when re-entering the Earth’s environment somewhat than creating extra hazardous metallic particles.
The experimental satellite tv for pc machine referred to as LignoSat is simply 4 inches sq. and is first sure for the ISS earlier than being despatched deeper into house to check its robustness.
And eventually, an emperor penguin has popped up on an Australian seashore over 2000 miles from its dwelling within the Antarctic.
Surfers in Ocean Seashore, about 270 miles south of Perth, had been surprised to see the fowl waddling over the sand.
Penguin’s Odyssey from the frozen Antarctic to the significantly hotter Australian local weather marks a report swim for the species, as it is the furthest north an emperor penguin has been noticed within the wild.
It appeared malnourished and is now being taken care of by wildlife consultants earlier than launch.
You are updated to return again at 4 p.m. for the newest US election information from The Customary podcast, and we’re again tomorrow at 1 p.m.
