AKObserver User ID: 26954958 United States 08/20/2014 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | An erupting volcanic island that is expanding off Japan could trigger a tsunami if its freshly-formed lava slopes collapse into the sea, scientists say. The small, but growing, island appeared last year and quickly engulfed the already-existing island of Nishinoshima, around 1000 kilometers south of Tokyo. It now covers 1.26 square kilometers. The island’s craters are currently spewing out 200,000 cubic meters of lava every day – enough to fill 80 Olympic swimming pools – which is accumulating in its east, scientists said. “If lava continues to mount on the eastern area, part of the island’s slopes could collapse and cause a tsunami,” warned Fukashi Maeno, assistant professor of the Earthquake Research Institute at the University of Tokyo. He said a rockfall of 12 million cubic meters of lava would generate a one metre tsunami that could travel faster than a bullet train, hitting the island of Chichijima – 130kms away – in around 18 minutes, he said. Chichijima, home to about 2000 people, is the largest island in the Ogasawara archipelago, a wild and remote chain that is administratively part of Tokyo. “We studied the simulation this morning, and we are thinking of consulting with earthquake prediction experts … about the probability of this actually happening, and what kind of measures we would be able to take,” he said. Japan’s northeast was ravaged by a huge tsunami in March 2011, when a massive undersea earthquake sent a wall of water barreling into the northeast coast, killing more than 18,000 people and wrecking whole towns.

AKObserver User ID: 26954958 United States 08/20/2014 02:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Having posting issues again :( Quoting: AKObserver OK that got through must be the articles so you'll have to pull them up yourself tried to post this it wouldn't work let's see if this does Good Morning! There are fears Ebola could have spread to the Democratic Republic of Congo after 10 people died from a disease with Ebola-like symptoms, local officials said. The deceased, which included four health workers, lived in a remote part of the northern Equateur province of Boende this would be the fifth country where the virus has appeared. Michel Wangi, a spokesman for the governor’ office, said: “An illness is spreading in Boende but we don’t know the origin.” Ironically, the first outbreak of the virus was reported here (then Zaire) on August 26, 1976 – almost exactly 38 years to the day. This is bad news for the Gorilla's too I read the article below the other day about Ebola's effect on wildlife Ebola has profound effects on wildlife population dynamics Summary: New research in gorillas that were affected by an Ebola virus outbreak shows that disease can influence reproductive potential, immigration and social dynamics, and it highlights the need to devebunnyplex models that integrate all the different impacts of a disease [link to www.sciencedaily.com] Ebola virus scare reaches Germany, as w woman is tested in Berlin and 600 people are quarantined The 20-year-old woman, who collapsed while working at a Job Centre in Berlin’s Pankow district was taken to hospital after showing symptoms of the virus. According to Berliner Zeitung the woman, who is originally from West Africa, said she had had contact with victims of Ebola in her homeland. The job centre was immediately cordoned off and around 600 people have now been quarantined inside, according to reports. Police have not confirmed the case was Ebola but said they were testing for the disease. 3 tested for Ebola in Vietnam and Myanmar: Vietnam and Myanmar are testing 3 patients for the deadly Ebola virus after they arrived in the Southeast Asian nations from Africa while suffering from fever, health officials said. Two Nigerians were sent to Ho Chi Minh City’s Tropical Diseases Hospital for isolation after they arrived in the city by plane, Vietnam’s health ministry said, adding that they did not have symptoms other than fever. Airline passengers sitting next to the pair – who travelled to Vietnam on Monday, August 18, from Nigeria via Qatar – have been advised to monitor their own health. In Myanmar a 22-year-old local man was taken to hospital in Yangon after arriving at the city’s main airport on Tuesday, the Myanmar Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement on its official Facebook page late Tuesday.

AKObserver User ID: 26954958 United States 08/20/2014 02:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iceland grieves after police kill a man for the first time in its history "The nation was in shock. This does not happen in our country," said Thora Arnorsdottir, news editor at RUV, the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service. She was referring to a 59-year old man who was shot by police on Monday. The man, who started shooting at police when they entered his building, had a history of mental illness. It's the first time someone has been killed by armed police in Iceland since it became an independent republic in 1944. Police don't even carry weapons, usually. Violent crime in Iceland is almost non-existent. "The nation does not want its police force to carry weapons because it's dangerous, it's threatening," Arnorsdottir says. "It's a part of the culture. Guns are used to go hunting as a sport, but you never see a gun." radio clip [link to www.pri.org] |

Cases from Guinea were crossing into Sierra Leone for treatment,” a top medical official said “She got infected and died. During her funeral, women around the other towns got infected,” he told the agency. [link to rt.com] |

Today (20-August-2014) it increased again. What is also a interesting development is that earthquake activity has increased in Bárðarbunga volcano caldera. The caldera is filled with 700 meter thick ice so an eruption in it would be extremely bad. Largest earthquakes today (when this is written) have the magnitude of 3,0. Other earthquakes have been smaller. Over 500 earthquakes have been recorded since midnight (best number that I have). info-graphs at link [link to www.jonfr.com] |
