Pakistan Earthquake Created New Island

ignis fatuus — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 06:01:42 +0800

7.7 magnitude quake in Pakistan just created a new island

A massive, 7.7 magnitude quake struck south-central Pakistan on Tuesday afternoon local time. The USGS warns that there will high casualties and economic losses, requiring international response. Seismologists have also confirmed that the quake raised a new island, about 30-40 feet high, off the coast.

The island is about half a mile off the coast of Gwadar, in the Arabian Sea. Already, reports the International Herald Tribune, crowds have gathered to see the mountainous, rocky island. Some are claiming it is 100 feet long.

It's not unusual for earthquakes of this magnitude to change the coastline, or even deform the shape of the planet. In 2010, an 8.8 magnitude quake in Chile created new coastlines in that country and changed the shape of the Earth enough to shorten our days by a fraction of a second.

Today in Pakistan, estimates of damages are still coming in, and it may be days before we know the full extent of the losses because the quake struck in many regions that are remote.

The nearest city to the epicenter is Arawan, where damage is said to be extensive, with houses collapsing and people trapped inside. So far, death tolls hover around 40, but that number is expected to rise as emergency services reach more of the affected areas. The populations near the epicenter may be sparse, but according to the USGS, the problem is that they are extremely vulnerable. Most homes are made of materials like unreinforced brick masonry, which crumble quickly in quakes and can be deadly.

According to the BBC:

QUOTE

Many of the casualties were from Labach, on the northern outskirts of Awaran town. There are reports of some people trapped under the rubble of collapsed houses.

Abdul Qadoos, deputy speaker of the Balochistan assembly, told Reuters news agency that at least 30% of houses in Awaran district had collapsed.

Karachi is another nearby city, with millions of residents, whose homes may have also been affected. People as far away as New Delhi report feeling the quake.

The USGS also offers a quick scientific summary of the nature of the quake:

QUOTE

The September 24, 2013 M7.7 earthquake in south-central Pakistan occurred as the result of oblique-strike-slip type motion at shallow crustal depths. The location and mechanism of the earthquake are consistent with rupture within the Eurasia plate above the Makran subduction zone. The event occurred within the transition zone between northward subduction of the Arabia plate beneath the Eurasia plate and northward collision of the India plate with the Eurasia plate. The epicenter of the event is 69km north of Awaran, Pakistan, and 270km north of Karachi, Pakistan (population 11.6 million).

Right now, as emergency groups gather more information, the best thing we can do is wait to find out more. But it's very likely that humanitarian aid will be needed, and as soon as we know more we'll offer an update.

You can get quick details on the quake on the USGS page.

Nenen, Food, Bananas

Isolated Peruvian tribe attempts to make contact, asks for food
Members of the Mashco-Piro tribe — one of the most isolated on Earth — recently attempted to make contact with outsiders, resulting in a tense stand-off at a river hamlet.

The Mashco-Piro, who live in Peru's southeastern Amazon, are one of several tribes designated by officials as "uncontacted people." This particular tribe, which numbers in the hundreds, have largely kept to themselves, though they tried to make contact back in 2011.

Now, footage taken late in June by the local activist group AIDSEP apparently shows tribe members asking for bananas, rope, and machetes from the local Yine people.

Some tribe members can be seen attempting to cross the river. A canoe appears to be packed with food. The entire encounter took three days to resolve.

The Yine people did their best to dissuade the Mashco-Piro people from crossing the river.

Indeed, contact with the Mashco-Piro tribe, or any uncontacted tribe for that matter, could have devastating consequences, and is therefore forbidden; Peruvian law prohibits physical contact with the estimated 15 lost tribes in the region.

Contact cannot be made because isolated peoples have not yet developed immunities to many of the diseases that have swept through Eurasia and much of the Americas. What's more, cultural transmission could likewise prove fatal to their way of life.

NBC reports:

According to AIDESEP, logging and urban development have diminished the area in which the tribe lives. Additionally, their traditional hunting grounds have been affected by a rise in low-flying aircraft related to natural gas and oil exploration.

Local experts say it's strange to see members so close to the village. They may be upset that others are taking resources from their territories, which may explain why they were demanding objects and food from the villagers.

It's estimated that there are between 12,000 and 15,000 people living in jungles east of the Andes.

Looking for a comfortable place

ignis fatuus — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:30:52 +0800

Looking for comfortable places like bars who air the race live when sometimes i don't feel like watching it from home.

I had tried places in Jaya One, SS2, the Curve. Some of them already folded, and some of them prioritized football over F1 when the raceday is overlapping with football match. Some of them airing it without the volume like watching silent movie. Some of them had too many whores disturbing you.

Please give me some name if you happen to know any cool place who looking up to the sport, please.

Thanks.

Hissing Megsafe

ignis fatuus — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 21:41:32 +0800

Just noticed some strange hissing sound last week, and it's from the megsafe power brick(85W). Not the perpetual hiss, so far i have only catch it 3 times in quiet room operation, I touched the brick and is not hot, just normal lukewarm so i don't think i have major short-circuit. Anyone experience this before? It's pretty scary, this thing may burn up my house if i am not handling this well.

One more thing I observed is the hissing only come from one same particular power outlet i am using at home, in between that i have use the same brick in cafe and office working long hours without the hiss. I've read something about dirty power, but I am not sure how relevant is this. I don't want the same issue to come if I pick up another megsafe. Can anyone here throw me some light about this?
