A lesser known feature of the planet Earth’s magnetic field has recently gained a special Canadian connection that is often overlooked in the better known science story about the magnetic north pole drifting away from Canada toward Russia. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementSo the magnetic north pole is drifting away from Canada toward Russia. The geomagnetic pole is less actively mobile, and gets less attentionThere is also a geomagnetic north pole, different than either the geographic or the magnetic north poles. The geomagnetic north pole, therefore, is the point around which these auroras form in the high atmosphere, unaffected by the local surface drifting of the magnetic north pole. So, while the magnetic north pole is moving comparatively quickly across the Arctic Ocean, the geomagnetic pole is less actively mobile, and gets less attention.

Aaron Whitecotton could be the next Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator, and the more I look at it, the more it makes sense. Cowboys players respect him, he’s coached under some serious defensive minds, and honestly, the idea doesn’t feel all that wild. Players Already Respect Him, That’s Half the JobI have found this is a coach players genuinely respect. Players respect Whitecotton because he’s a teacher, communicator, and grinder, not a spotlight chaser. Why Promoting Whitecotton Isn’t CrazySo here’s why I think promoting Whitecotton isn’t crazy.

New Brunswick’s premier says her government “cannot cancel” the contract between NB Power and the U.S. company PROENERGY as suggested in a strongly worded letter from Barry Rothfuss, executive director of the Atlantic Wildlife Institute. “NB Power has informed us that they are committed to working with PROENERGY to support the communities near the proposed site and address any concerns being raised,” she adds.

One powerful approach could be to dedicate the first period of each school day to guided sharing circles facilitated by teachers.
