Simple27 (OP) User ID: 72382901 United States 01/16/2017 12:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Geomagnetic Storm Watch A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm watch will be in effect beginning January 18th. A solar wind flowing from a middle latitude coronal hole will soon become geoeffective. Sky watchers at higher latitudes should be alert for visible aurora beginning Wednesday. More updates to follow. [link to solarham.net] CHANCE OF STORMS THIS WEEK: NOAA forecasters say there is 70% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Jan. 18th when a fast-moving stream of solar wind hits Earth's magnetic field. The Arctic light show, however, could begin even earlier. A co-rotating interaction region (CIR) just in front of the solar wind stream is expected to reach Earth during the late hours of Jan 17th. CIRs are transition zones between slow- and fast-moving solar wind. They contain density gradients and shock waves that often spark auroras. [link to spaceweather.com] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |
Simple27 (OP) User ID: 72382901 United States 01/16/2017 12:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION MONITORING: As the solar cycle transitions to a new phase, cosmic rays are penetrating the solar system in ever increasing numbers. Cosmic rays can seed clouds, trigger lightning, and penetrate commercial airplanes. This means it is increasingly important to monitor radiation in Earth's atmosphere. Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus have developed a "Space Weather Buoy" to do just that. A peer-reviewed research article describing the device was just featured on the cover of the American Geophysical Union magazine Space Weather Quarterly: Download the entire issue [link to onlinelibrary.wiley.com] and scroll down to page 10 to read the complete article. It was co-authored by 12 students, most of whom were in high school when the research was done. Highlights of the article include a detailed description of the buoy as well as measurements of several radiation events over California in response to solar activity.

I started out on DOS 2.1 on a clone IBM PC with a menu batch screen and have learned and evolved ever since. Computers will always work for me because I will give them a lobotomy if I have to to repair them. Upgrades are fun but building a new computer is even better. I can't imagine not being able to go on line let alone be away from GLP.

Day off, don't have to do anything (had to help my mom's friend setup her new laptop [she got the same one as us once she found out what we were getting] and it took forever...aahhhhhh) but when you know this stuff you can't exactly be rude and say no... Anyway. And only one wound care appointment later today. At this point I'm always asking myself: will I finally be healed up at this next one? Or will it be four more days? We are THAT close. It's been too damned long. Wait...what? |

KickinIt User ID: 56337101 United States 01/16/2017 01:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I spent the day at a friend's yesterday. His internet wasn't working and according to ATT could not be fixed for a day or two. His daughter, who is 7, could not grasp the concept of not having any internet. She kept coming in saying "Can I watch _____ on Netflix?", "Can I play my computer game", etc. etc. Every time, we would try to explain to her why she couldn't do any of those things. Granted, the internet and how it works isn't an easy concept for a kid to grasp, but I think the bigger obstacle was that she's never NOT had it, so the idea of it not being available, not being able to do all these things she wanted to do at a moment's notice, was impossible for her to imagine. She'd never had this happen before. I don't think she ever conceived it's something that can work or not work, to her it "just is", if that makes sense. I found the whole thing rather interesting! Of course, I chimed in with "This is what our entire childhood was like", and, "when we were your age, we had to read books and play outside". lol. |

A 1.1 quake occurred in Wales last night and people reported a loud rumbling and a banging noise? From a 1.1? Quoting: KickinIt [link to www.walesonline.co.uk] The magnitude 1.1 earthquake took place at around the same time as a mysterious explosion in Manchester, sparked fears of a bomb or sonic boom. A mysterious loud bang was also heard in areas of Greater Manchester at the same time. Greater Manchester Police confirmed they had received a number of reports and that they had investigated but had been unable to establish what caused the bang. However, it is not known if the incident is connected with the earthquake. [link to www.mirror.co.uk] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |
Simple27 (OP) User ID: 72382901 United States 01/16/2017 03:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Caribbean steps up earthquake risk reduction BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, 16 January 2017 – Seven years on from the devastating earthquake in Haiti, countries from across the Caribbean are working hard to reduce the risks posed by seismic threats, as part of their wider drive towards sustainable development. The magnitude-7.0 quake of 12 January, 2010, claimed around 150,000 lives and affected over three million people. Earthquakes are the single-most destructive form of natural hazard in the Caribbean. Many countries within the region face the specter of future quakes, which occur when strain accumulation on segments of the adjacent tectonic plate boundary exceeds breaking point. To a large extent, the resulting damage will depend on the choice of risk management measures – notably building standards – that are implemented to avoid or reduce vulnerability to strong shaking. Efforts to improve such risk management have gathered pace over recent months. Over 150 participants from around the region met at the Caribbean Urban Seismic Risk Forum in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince in September 2016. [link to reliefweb.int] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |
