Mega-tsunami caused Earth to vibrate for nine days, study shows

A mega-tsunami caused by a landslide in Greenland caused the Earth to vibrate for nine days, a new study has shown.

The collapse of a 1.2km-high (0.7 miles) mountain peak last September caused water in the fjord below to splash back and forth, causing vibrations right through to the Earth's crust, researchers found.

It was caused by the glacier at the foot of the mountain thinning, which was the result of climate change, according to the study, which included scientists from University College London (UCL).

The new phenomenon, which began above Dickson Fjord in east Greenland, left scientists "completely baffled", the study's co-author Dr Stephen Hicks said.

"This is the first time that water sloshing has been recorded as vibrations through the Earth's crust, travelling the world over and lasting several days," Dr Hicks, of UCL Earth Sciences, said.

"Even though we know seismometers can record a variety of sources happening on Earth's surface, never before has such a long-lasting, globally travelling seismic wave, containing only a single frequency of oscillation, been recorded.

"Our study of this event amazingly highlights the intricate interconnections between climate change in the atmosphere, destabilisation of glacier ice in the cryosphere, movements of water bodies in the hydrosphere, and Earth's solid crust in the lithosphere."

To demonstrate how the water splashing continued for nine days, researchers recreated the angle of the landslide using a mathematical model.

It suggests that the water would have splashed back and forth every 90 seconds, sending vibrations through the Earth's crust around the planet, causing one of the largest tsunamis in recent history.

The wave extended 10km (7.4 miles) across the fjord and 110m into the air - but reduced to 7m within minutes, the study, published in the journal Science, estimates.

Terminally ill Dame Esther Rantzen pleads with Sir Keir Starmer to legalise assisted dying as public panel backs assisted suicide

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ed-suicid.html

Esther Rantzen, if you weren't terminally ill you wouldn't even contemplate saying anything like this, in fact no journalist would be able to catch you up to ask you, as you'd be breaking every land speed record known to man to get away from them.

Do yourself a favour and STFU about it, this winter is the perfect time to commit suicide, there's no need for any assistance either, just turn your heating off in your well heated large abode and with a bit of luck the grim reaper will appear. You'll join a lot of pensioners who can't afford to heat their tiny little homes who have no choice in this matter, so bon voyage and au revoir.

Did you previously go by the name of STEED around these parts?

[Moonlight]

Steed?, good god No!, there can be only one Steed, now you've mentioned him, or her, or they or them, isn't it time someone invited him back into the fold. As Onkel Neal is in overall charge he should be the one, I did hear at one time that the Onkel and Steed were as thick as thieves, or did I mishear Mr Squirrel and he said they were just thick. any way which ever it was the Onkel has been nominated and we now need a Secondary, over to you guys.

Man freed under early prison release scheme allegedly sexually assaulted woman on same day

A man allegedly sexually assaulted a woman on the same day he was released from prison under the government's early release scheme.

He allegedly reoffended in Sittingbourne in Kent and was later arrested at an address in south London.

He was among more than 1,700 inmates released from prison last week in a bid to ease prison overcrowding, which the government said did not include terrorists and previously convicted sex offenders.

The former inmate appeared at a magistrate's court on Thursday charged with sexual assault. He is due to appear at crown court next month.

He has been recalled to prison.

A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "The government inherited prisons in crisis and on the brink of collapse. Had that happened, the courts would have been unable to hold trials and the police to make arrests.

"We had no choice but to introduce emergency measures, releasing some prisoners a few weeks or months early, while excluding a number of offences and imposing strict licence conditions.

"While we cannot comment on the details of any single case, those who break their licence conditions or commit further crimes will be punished."

EXCLUSIVE REVEALED: Barely literate students with no GCSEs being accepted onto university courses and given thousands of pounds in taxpayer cash they will never pay back

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-pay-back.html

Nothing new here, the university grant system has always been open to abuse, some students will use alternative methods to achieve a degree, money changing hands for answers or for dissertations will always take place. Cheating was as rife then as it is today, there was little to no investigations into how, when or where these students were getting their answers from and, the vetting process was bleeding abysmal.

Last messages from Titan submersible before implosion revealed

The crew on board had been communicating with staff on board support vessel the Polar Prince by messages.

Contact was lost after an exchange of repeated inquiries from the Polar Prince about the submersible's depth and weight as it descended.

The Polar Prince then asked repeatedly if the Titan could still see the ship on its onboard display.

One of Titan's final responses, which became spotty as it descended, was "all good here".

Woman 'shocked' at being fined £500 for fly-tipping after leaving cabinet outside for passers-by to take

A woman from Bournemouth was left "really shocked" at being fined £500 for fly-tipping after leaving a cabinet outside her home for passers-by to take.

Isabelle Pepin told Sky News she left the medium-sized IKEA cabinet, which had stored children's toys in her son's room, against her front wall.

The graphic designer and artist said after five days a council officer knocked on her door to tell her there was a problem with it being there so she moved it back onto her property and then disposed of it.

But she said she was left "very surprised" when she got another knock on the door three weeks later and was presented with a £500 fine for fly-tipping.

"I got a knock on the door with a man with an enforcement camera on his chest, telling me he is filming me," she said.

"He read the caution speech to me - so that was very nerve-wracking. And then he issued me with a £500 fine for fly-tipping."

Ms Pepin said she had to challenge the fine in writing and go through an appeal process with a third-party enforcement company Bournemouth Council uses to issue such fines.

She has had "overwhelming support" from the local community, she said, with one resident saying they have been "doing this for years, they had no idea they were fly-tipping".

She said she has also been contacted with messages of support by several local councillors and added: "Hopefully the appeal process will be successful and the fine will be dropped."

Lebanese are 'scared of their phones and laptops' after walkie-talkie bombs: Country pleads for end to 'technological war' but 'prepares for the worst' as Israel moves towards war with airstrikes on Hezbollah targets

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...Hezbollah.html

Haha, Lebanese Terrorists are being Terrorised by Technological devices, Hezbollah and its backers Iran have as usual condemned their arch-foe for carrying out 'mass murder' and have vowed to exact revenge.

There's no evidence as yet that Israel is the creative genius behind this new technological warfare, those Terrorists should be extra careful when they turn the light on though as there might be a Boom to go with it.

Kentucky sheriff accused of fatally shooting judge Kevin Mullins in his chambers at Letcher County courthouse

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ourthouse.html

One of the comments in that article says the judge was up to no good, whether that post is true or not, the sheriff must have heard something similar to that and dealt out some instant justice of his own.

All you have to do to find out why, is search for him on Facebook. locals having been defending him, because that judge is a letchworth, and by their own words, he has been encouraging women to sleep with him, and juvenile girls too, to reduce their sentences. He also accepts favours to have sentences reduced, as do some who work with him. They are calling for the Sheriff to be released, because he has done so much for the community and they feel he has done a public service by doing this. The words of one supporter were, "If it was my daughter, I'd do the same." So it's possible he done something to Sheriff Stine's daughter too.

A man who was abducted as a six-year-old while playing in a California park in 1951 has been found more than seven decades later thanks to the help of an online ancestry test, old photos and newspaper clippings.

The Bay Area News Group reported on Friday that Luis Armando Albino’s niece in Oakland – with assistance from police, the FBI and the justice department – located her uncle living on the US east coast.
