In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Seismologists measure tremors from distances up to 5000 km away. On September 16, 2023, a massive wave struck a fjord on Greenland’s east coast, leaving evidence of flooding up to 200 meters (650 feet) high in some areas. Researchers, led by Angela Carrillo Ponce from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), have analyzed seismic data from earthquake monitoring stations worldwide and uncovered another remarkable event. The megatsunami triggered a standing wave that oscillated back and forth in the narrow, uninhabited Dickson Fjord for over a week. The international team has published their findings in the journal The Seismic Records.

Japanese scientists issued their first ever massive earthquake alert after a significant quake struck parts of the country on Thursday. Although the threat isn’t imminent or guaranteed, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said in a press release that the possibility of a “large-scale earthquake” is “relatively higher than usual,” but “this does not mean that a large-scale earthquake will definitely occur during a specific period.”

Japan Just Issued Its First ‘Megaquake’ Alert. Here’s What You Should Know

On the face of it, the earthquake that struck southern Japan on Thursday was not a big deal. The magnitude 7.1 quake did little damage and the tsunami warning was quickly scaled back. But the earthquake was swiftly followed by a warning - one which had never been given before.

Does Japan's megaquake alert mean the 'big one' is coming?
