about how I got 10 bonuses from vocal media and I'm also going to talk out about how you are able to get these 10 bonuses as well now I've recently discussed my passive income Journey on the vocal media through a couple of videos that I did on the channel you can go ahead and check out the vocal media playlist in the description box below this video to access the full videos and if I specifically stated the original source for each of the videos letting you know that it is repurchased from my original articles posted on medium.com which you can access my profile in the description box below as well 98 of my earnings came from bonuses from vocal media that I received by either hitting a milestone for number of Articles published or performing tasks on vocal media in order to support other authors and the vocal team and these tasks included as an example liking other creators work and filling in surveys designed to improve the vocal media platform now I'm going to talk about the 10 bonuses that I earned on vocal media in today's video the first bonus I earned was getting my story selected as a top story and I earned five dollars for that and it was given to me on the 12th of April 2021 now this specific article was selected as the top story and then I received five dollars from it no just once you click here it's just a simple article that I repurposed from one of my work that I did back in the University about semiotic analysis of Emma Stone's Revlon advertisements so I just simply got out my old work and I repurposed the article and it was selected as a top story another thing the second bonus that I got from vocal media is surprisingly liking 15 stories by fellow creators so make sure that you genuinely read and like a minimum of 15 stories don't chase it up and it will follow you on your account within five days and this was what happened to me now a great way to connect with other writers is to network with them is to read their content and this way you're also going to get rewarded by vocal media and this is what happened to me as well and they're likely to return back the favor the writers who you follow and comment and like their stories and they'll also read your content providing a win-win situation and resulting in both authors receiving the five dollar bonus the third bonus I received was publishing my 10th story on vocal media now after I publish my 10 story which is this one how I utilize my pain within one week I Got a notification that I received the ten dollars and this is the article right here it's a simple article that has some techniques and personal experience that I went through as well so also the link to the article will be in the description box below so it's very personalized as well the fourth bonus was for publishing my fifth Story on vocal now the this bonus was the first bonus that I received that sparked the Curiosity the motivation the interest to take publishing on vocal media seriously and go on to own nine other bonuses as well now this is the link to the story The Struggle of Aboriginal women in Australia and it's a simple short 600 word article about the history of Aboriginal women in Australia and how they were treated by the British occupation and the fifth bonus I received was surprisingly participating in their vocal survey and this was a one-time opportunity that I received in the email so stay tuned if you are subscribed to the vocal Media email news throughout the newsletter you will get a notification of any surveys that they're doing to improve their platform and the reward was ten dollars in exchange for filling a 10 minute survey so the tip right here as I said keep your eyes open for future survey opportunities and opting early in order to secure your bonus the opportunities are difficult to rare to come by frequently so I wouldn't say they happen quite frequently so you need to take advantage of them and this is what I received in the email ten dollars for 10 minutes of your time now it says if you choose to participate you will be rewarded with a 10 bonus on your wallet to say thank you for your time quickly I quickly went in I clicked on take the survey and it took me to the survey and then within a few a day or two it the 10 bonus was in the wallet and the sixth bonus was a commission from a vocal ambassador program so this is basically an affiliate commission that I received for promoting their ambassador program that they were running at the time it was a nice surprise and I did use some free promotional methods on both Facebook and Pinterest specifically when it comes to Pinterest pins they are quite powerful for not only vocal media but also for medium and for Amazon KDP and Redbubble as well so what what happened from the two or three pins that I posted I got one affiliate sale and the reward was twenty dollars unfortunately this is a one-time twenty dollars it's not reoccurring so keep that in mind but it's a nice little surprise for a few minutes of work the seventh bonus is welcome to vocal plus so once you've join vocal monthly subscription program it which I joined as a free trial so I did not pay anything to join uh they promised to add ten dollars to your vocal wallet as an incentive for joining their free trial and then that 10 it gets added to your original earnings and then you can request a payout after you've earned the thirty dollars so the eighth and Ninth bonus that I got was the top story selected by the vocal teams so apart from the articles that were selected that I talked about as top stories because of their quality and because of their engagement you can be eligible to receive a tops story bonus for articles discussing the vocal platform which means that if you write an article about the vocal platform then and it is called selected because it has good quality material then you get selected as a top story and you earn five dollars as well so it's basically their initiative to help to promote their platform and also reward readers that help to create content about vocal vocal and getting the vocal name out there and I I guess it was more of a um initial promotion for their platform so I've received two top story bonuses for articles that discussed how to use vocal as a publishing platform and this one was interested in vocal vocal just did something amazing today and the second one so I call income reveal which I talked about what I learned from writing on vocal and the 10th and final vocal media bonus is publishing 50 stories on vocal and this is the most interesting um bonus that there is and it is one of the best and most delayed bonus that I received on a platform so earlier this year I had already hit 56 stories published all good I didn't know that the 50 stories bonus existed so one day when I was scrolling through the vocal Facebook pages I saw a post by a fellow writer announcing that they've received a 50 bonus for publishing 50 stories within one week tens of writers were commenting that they received the same bonus other we're sharing their excitement and others were saying that they have not received the vote the bonus so what I did is I already hit 50 articles over four months ago I didn't receive any bonus I didn't receive any message about that the bonuses are not publicly declared so I commented congratulating the author who hit the Milestone and I asked what should I do to receive that bonus and then they commented on my reply saying that the bonus will come and that I will need to chase it up by email the vocal team so what I did was I emailed the vocal team and I heard back with it from them about two to three days after emauding them and the bonus Works quickly issued into my account so if you publish 50 or more stories on a vocal if you still have not received your bonus you can email them and inquire and catch it up um like these are the screenshots taken from the vocal wallet dashboard that shows specific bonuses the dates the uh how much I earned as well and the payments so here we've got the 12th of April for the top story title of the stop Story five dollars same here you've liked 15 stories by valid creators five dollars you publish your 10th story on vocal ten dollars then again as the fifth Story five dollars then and then survey ten dollars commission 20 welcome to vocal Plus can also writing on on vocal in two separate articles five dollars each and this is the Mega bonus that I received which is you've published your 50th story on vocal and this does not happen until I caught it up so all thanks to the vocal um platform and the book called me uh team as well so good luck on your vocal media Journey if you are looking for more tips strategies and income reveals from different side hustles that I've tried myself go ahead and subscribe to the YouTube channel where I upload daily videos sharing my passive income journey and you can go ahead and check out the video that I did about a year ago showing my vocal media income reveal and also what I've learned from the vocal media platform and if you've enjoyed videos such as this go ahead and subscribe to the channel I'd love to have you on board take care and I'll see you in the next one bye foreign

[Music] foreign the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has lately been engaging in Explorations without the knowledge of the public but they're not doing this alone the millionaire Tech genius Elon Musk is a part of this Mission with NASA on what they have done together is about to change everything [Music] Duo combined resources together for research to explore the depths of our ocean and what they met underwater during this mission was not expected this discovery was so terrifying it could no longer be kept a secret what terrifying Discovery did Elon Musk and NASA make in the depths of our ocean and why was it revealed by Elon Musk and not NASA join us as we explore how Elon Musk just revealed nessa's terrifying underwater discovery the Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been secretly making some moves with NASA and their expedition seem to be the scientific collaboration of the decade until their mission went sideways we recently discovered that NASA and Elon Musk had worked together on a plethora of missions and some of these missions took place in the Arctic it all started when a robot deployed underwater by a team of researchers showed a view what nobody expected this deployed robot was a remotely operated icefin underwater vehicle exploring a sea water-filled crevasse in the base Antarctica's at largest ice shelf when the cameras on the underwater vehicle displayed a sudden change of view to the surprise of our scientists the camera showed walls of Cloudy smooth meteoric ice as it turned green and rough in texture while transforming into salty Marine ice while this happened a research team comprising Nessa Elon Musk and New Zealand researchers was observing this phenomenon 1900 feet above immediately they ran recognize this process as proof of ice pumping this process has never been directly observed in an ice shelf or vast or left the entire team are all struck Justin Lawrence a visiting scholar at the Cornell Center for astrophysics and planetary science in the College of Arts and Sciences commented about the atmosphere in the room and how it felt to have watched such an unexpected occurrence we looked at the ice that had just melted less than 100 feet below flowed into the crevasse and then re-frozen and then it just got weirder as we went higher up the icefin robot's extraordinary look inside a crevice and further analysis showed over A Century of geological processes lurking under the ice shelf this discovery was so shocking the entire research team it was detailed in a paper and published the paper reports came from a 2019 field campaign to Camp ice stream supported by Antarctica New Zealand and other New Zealand research agencies it was led by Christina hulbar a professor at the University of otago and other colleagues with support from Elon Musk and NASA's astrobiology program research team led by Brittany Schmidt associate professor of astronomy and Earth and atmospheric sciences in A and S and Cornell engineering was able to join the mission and deploy icefin Schmidt's planetary habitability and Technology lab has been working on icefin for almost a decade and the results it returned surely made them proud combined with recently published investigations of the fast-changing Thwaites Glacier also observed by a second icefin vehicle the analysis is expected to enhance sea level rise models by showing the first high-resolution ocean views this also includes the sea floor and Ice interactions at contrasting glacious systems on the West Antarctic ice sheet thwaits at Glacier open to warm ocean currents is one of the continent's most unstable glaciers camber ice stream where the ocean is mostly iced has been stagnant since the late 1800s camber presently offsets some of the ice loss from West in Antarctica but could cause an increase in the area's contribution to sea level rise by 12 percent if it activates Antarctica is a complex system and it's important to understand both ends of the spectrum systems already undergoing rapid change as well as those quieter systems where future change poses a risk Schmidt said observing Camden thwaits together helps us learn more NASA and Elon Musk provided Financial Resources for icefim's development and the camp exploration to extend ocean exploration beyond Earth Marine ice found in the corvess could be an analog for situations on Jupiter's icy Moon Europa the target of NASA's Europa Clipper orbital Mission planned to launch next year and later land emissions might one day search directly for microbial life in the ice icefin is a well-equipped with a full variation of oceanographic tools on a modular frame less than at 10 inches in diameter and over 12 feet long it was lowered on a tether through a borehole the New Zealand researchers created through the ice shelf with hot water during three Dives that stretched over three miles near the grounding Zone where Cam transitions to the floating Ross shelf ice fin mapped five crevises ascending one and the sea floor while recording water conditions including pressure salinity and temperature the team also studied different ice attributes for valuable water mixing and melt rate details they included ripples vertical runnels golf ball like dimples and the weirder formations around the crevasses top these are Globs of ice and finger-like protrusions that look like brynicals according to the researchers studying the ice pumping in the crevasse could also possibly contribute to the relative stability of the Ross Eye shelf the world's largest by area the size of France compared to thwait's Glacier it's a way these big eye shells can protect and heal themselves Saint Peter Washam a polar oceanographer on the icefin science team and the paper's second author a lot of the melting that happened deep near the grounding line that water then re-freezes and decrees onto the bottom of the ice is Marine ice on the sea floor ice thin mapped parallel sets of ridges that the team believes were caused and left behind by ice shelf crevasses this also has a record of 150 years of activity since the chem stream stagnated as its grounding line retreated the ice shell thinned making the crevasses lift away as time passed the ice is slow movement altered the crevasses seawood of the ridgids we can look at those sea floor features and directly link them up to what we saw in the eye space said Lawrence the paper's lead author we can in a way rewind the process NASA and Elon Musk supported This research through the planetary science and technology from analog research programs project rise up and future investigators in NASA Earth and space science and technology program New Zealand's Antarctic science platform also came into support as well as the United States Antarctic program even the Victoria a university of Wellington's hot water drilling initiative was part of this research project however that was not the only machine that was made with Elon Musk and NASA's collaboration since the Space Race began up until the observation of planets out in the final frontier scientists and astronomers have known that it would require more than a doggy paddle to explore the oceans below the icy surfaces of some of the solar systems most intriguing moons Elon Musk is also looking to colonize a planet with Mars in sight so he teamed up with NASA again since they had the same ambition their collaboration set the workplace in ness Engineers immediately began working on an underwater Rover this underwater Rover they believe could one day handle the challenges brought by ocean worlds like Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa and a team has been working on such a robot called a buoyant Rover for under ice exploration or Brewery for a few years now the ice shells covering these distant oceans serves a window into the oceans below when the chemistry of the ice could help feed the life within those oceans Kevin hand leads scientist on The Brewery project at NASA's jet propulsion laboratory in California set in a statement here on Earth at the ice covering our polar oceans serves a similar role and our team is particularly interested in what is happening where the water meets the ice the tests will be done at Australia's Casey research station along the coast of Antarctica far south of Australia their Brewery will spend a month adventuring both the Inland Lakes and the ocean while it finds where the top of the water meets the bottom of the ice we found that life often lives it interfaces both the sea bottom and the Ice Water interface at the top and The Clash lead engineer on the brewery project said most submersibles have a challenging time investigating this area as ocean currents might cause them to crash or they could waste too much power maintaining position Brewery is created to manage these challenges via buoyancy it crawls along the bottom of the ice held up by the denser water below the Rover is a bar about one meter long with a big wheel on each end NASA's robot is also programmed to turn itself on and off as needed between collating measurements scientists are most interested in which will let it stay locked below the ice for longer periods of time without recharging however in the long run this Rover is programmed to do more than just a Rove will also carry instruments which include two cameras and probes measuring factors like oxygen levels at water temperature and pressure and salinity according to the statement and as data from breweries at first excursions returns scientists will be thrilled when they start adding instruments to the tests still all the testing in the world can't prepare Brewery for the biggest challenge of extraterrestrial exploration recognizing potential life forms that could look unrelated to Earth's Dan Beresford a mechanical engineer on the project explained better in a NASA statement we only really know how to detect life similar to that on Earth so it's possible that the very different microbes might be difficult to recognize this statement including the trip down to the depths of our ocean also sparked the Curiosity of scientists working under Elon Musk and their curiosity confirmed another discovery that had been speculated by NASA a decade ago a couple of scientists were on a nasa-sponsored ocean Expedition when they discovered huge numbers of phytoplankton thriving underneath sea ice in the Arctic Ocean now science is working with Elon Musk using underwater instruments and a NASA satellite to find more insight about this odd Discovery and they have found proof of potentially significant blooms Beneath the Sea ice around phytoplankton is the ocean What grasses are to land they are plant-like floating organisms that absorb the sunshine sponge mineral nutrients and create their own energy through photosynthesis phytoplankton Thrive almost anywhere you'll see open sunlit patches of ocean when conditions are proper enough these collections of microscopic cells can become good enough to the extent that they become visible from space they are a crucial food source for other life in the ocean and a key carbon recycler and disposer for the planet but until recent studies the conventional wisdom was at the ice cover prevented the growth of phytoplankton for most of the year in the ocean around Antarctica because very little sunlight could penetrate the water below however new evidence shows just enough cracks thin spots and gaps to let sufficient daylight through the sea ice around Antarctica the compact sea ice seems pretty impenetrable to light says Chris Horvat a sea scientist at Brown University and the lead author of the new study in most satellites wide and coarse views ice cover can appear uniform and sheet-like reinforcing the idea that light would be too scarce and faint for plant-like Life Below but viewed from and below the ocean's surface and now with the laser eyes of NASA's ice cloud and land elevation satellite to iceap to sign to see that Antarctic sea ice is actually riddled with fractures and openings sunlight slips through the cracks and provides the energy for notable Under Ice blooms in the Southern Ocean all that and colleagues pulled together three lines of evidence first they examined data collected by Argo floats underwater instruments that measure different properties of the ocean from the surface to roughly seven thousand feet two thousand meters in depth these cylinder-shaped instruments drift with current and rise and fall through the ocean occasionally surfacing to relay their data back to land-based Laboratories via satellite transmitters Argo floats deployed since 2014 can detect the presence of chlorophyll and particulate carbon in the water both of which can indicate the presence of phytoplankton examining data from more than 2 000 Under Ice Dives over seven years the research team found the nearly all measurements showed phytoplankton accumulating even before the sea ice had retreated in the southern sphere spring and summer in a quarter of those measurements enough phytoplankton had a mess to suggest a blooming event were underway given those observations the team analyzed ice conditions with the ice set to data to understand where and how much light penetrated the cracks and openings in Antarctic sea ice the primary instrument on isat-2 is a laser altimeter which sends pulses of light toward the Earth's surface and then measures to within a billionth of a second how long it takes individual photons to return to the satellite from this information scientists can derive the height of sections of ice and also spot the cracks and gaps between them finally building off ice cover models from the coupled model into comparison project phase six hovat and colleagues estimated the location and thickness of the Southern Ocean ice cover and how it moved they also derived estimates of photosynthetically available radiation par a measure of the sunlight needed to sustain blooms in the ocean they found 1.2 to 1.9 million square miles three to five million square kilometers an area larger than India of the ice-covered Southern Ocean could allow enough light to penetrate and support some Under Ice blooms scientists have talked about the potential for blooms here but this is the first time we are seeing them under the ice in Antarctic Waters said hovat the blooms have probably always been there we just haven't had the capacity to observe them this finding opens up a new way of thinking about life around and under the ice sea ice is more interesting and diverse than people think and it can support a wide range of ecological communities all that is part of a team developing new ice products from icesat 2 to get an even better sense of the mosaic-like texture of sea ice they also hope to follow up on the Under Ice Bloom study by investigating how extensive and how frequent the blooms are and if there is seasonality to them the paper describes some interesting observations in a relatively poorly studied region of the global ocean at added Michael berenfeldon Oregon State University ocean ecologist who was not part of the study Under Ice blooms have earlier been reported in the Arctic but this new study clearly documents these blooms in the Southern Ocean an important difference between these two polar regions is the total area of suitable conditions for under ice blooms is much greater around Antarctica thus when integrated over an area these Southern Ocean blooms may be a very large mass of Plankton this Expedition carried out by NASA and Elon Musk is definitely one for the books but there is a mixed feeling from these discoveries as we don't know what to expect from the phytoplankton found in the effects it would have do you think these discoveries made by NASA and Elon Musk will have a good or bad ending and let us know in the comments

Birds Do Not Sing In Caves
Birds Do Not Sing in Caves By Christian P. Benotto I The sun bathed the curved heather in a sort of golden gleam, the mauve heathers shone beautifully under the lovingly warmth of the scorching luminal, their ravishing pallor of violet that gave the stooped land a certain amiable countenance. The heather extended in such a way that it stretched over the rocky alps like a young woman whose nude body gleamed golden, washed in perspiration and the splendor of such a magnificent ardent beast. The sea washed against the high mountainous cliffs that stood before the littoral, the holler of the ocean as it crashed against the latter, her wallowing waves curving and melting into one another in a single aphrodisiac motion. The plains followed the cliff until these led to a steep fall into a lonely abyss of sea and land, these plains also followed the mountainous range that extended in such a way that their feeble body met with the megalithic mount that stood before them. The mount, was truly a behemoth, a beauteous woman of such a height that her edged peaks were shrouded from the eyes of people by the clouds, of such stout limbs that they crashed into the earth and the skies in a single stretch of land, of such caramel skin that her gleaming sides were engulfed in that same golden veil that covered all of the land. She was dressed in a white cloak that opened at the front, leaving her verdant skin from the navel to the breasts visible to the watchful eye of the mortals that could not even touch the reflection of her silhouetted skin. Her vigil peaks penetrated through the clouds and went past them, standing as if it were a stagnant goddess, asleep. She was covered in the flora and snow that had accumulated over the many millennia that she had been asleep. Her shrouded peaks never had storms and she was basked in a cloudless ether that housed the Gods. She was created from the ardent fires that once engulfed the earth and now engulfed Hades, she was forged from the blood of the Titans that had fallen lower than the Olympic Gods themselves, for they had fallen onto the arid land that would later become the land of men.
