2021 Lasithi earthquake

The 2021 Lasithi earthquake was a magnitude 6.4 Mw earthquake with a maximum intensity of VIII (Severe) on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale which occurred on October 12, 2021, 12:24 (UTC+3:30) off the island of Crete.Cairo and Istanbul.

The quake occurred on the anniversary of the 1856 Heraklion earthquake which killed about 600 people and about two weeks after the 2021 Arkalochori earthquake. Weak tremors were felt in Giza and Cairo, which also coincided with the anniversary of the 1992 Cairo earthquake.2020 Aegean Sea earthquake.

Earthquake

The quake was recorded as a 6.3 earthquake by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, but was upgraded to 6.4 in magnitude. Efthymios Lekkas, president of the Earthquake Planning and Protection Organisation, said that the quake was not directly related to the first tremor a month ago, but instead was a sign of the activation of the Eastern part of the Hellenic arc.moment tensor solution by the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake was associated with shallow normal faulting within the Aegean Sea Plate at a depth of 10 km.

Due to the distance between the 6.4 and 6.0 events, spaced far apart, it is not likely they are directedly related. Greek seismologists added that the two earthquakes occurred by chance despite saying that the chances of two large events happening in the same region is low. The lack of aftershocks sparked concern among seismologists due to the lack of aftershocks following the quake. The rate of aftershocks were substantially lower than expected for an earthquake of its size.

Tectonic setting

The island of Crete, and the country of Greece in general is prone to seismic activity and is home to one of the most destructive earthquakes in all of Europe. Crete lies in the non-magmatic part of the so-called Hellenic arc which is related to of the subduction of the African Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate (specifically the Aegean Sea plate). Crete is affected by large earthquakes originating from or near the subduction zone, such as the 365 Crete earthquake. It is also affected by much shallower earthquakes resulting from ongoing extension orientated north–south (on west–east trending normal faults) and west–east (on south–north to SSW–NNE trending normal faults).

Damage


2021 Lasithi earthquake

Damage

According to the Mayor of Sitia, the town hall was confirmed to have sustained damage.applied geology & disaster management at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens said that fortunately damage was minimal and was only observed in old or abandoned masonry buildings.Sitia suffered minor fracturing on the facade.

Tsunami

A small tsunami was detected by instruments in the sea, prompting coastal residents to stay away from the sea.We have issued a tsunami alert but nothing alarming. We are talking about 10 kilometers southeast of Zakros. The phenomenon has arrived and may not be visible in some areas. The quake was small to create a large tsunami. Apart from Crete, the whole southern Aegean has been shaken," Geodynamics Institute in Athens director Vassilis Karastathis also said in an interview with popular Greek newspaper Proto Thema saying: "There is always an announcement when there is a strong earthquake in the sea. To understand what happens when we have a strong seismic event at sea because we are dealing with time in relation to the tsunami we do not wait for time to pass and until we see all the data from the warning systems we send the announcement for good and for bad. So depending on some rules of earthquake magnitude and distance from the shores and of course to be in the sea then we issue a warning. So here, since it is not on land and it was at sea, we made the announcement ".

Response

Stavros Arnaoutakis, the Governor of Crete calmed the people, saying "We have to be cool, so far I have no reports of injuries." He also said in an interview with Greek newspaper Proto Thema: "We were rocking for 15 seconds."

The municipality of Malevezi has issued the cancellations of schools and kindergartens. The further inspection of damaged infrastructure and irrigation networks were also observed in the Municipality. The earthquake management team which was already present since September 27 after the initial quake a month earlier was re-implemented as well as the return of the mobilization of the Civil Protection in the municipality.

Formamide

Formamide is an amide derived from formic acid. It is a colorless liquid which is miscible with water and has an ammonia-like odor. It is chemical feedstock for the manufacture of sulfa drugs and other pharmaceuticals, herbicides and pesticides, and in the manufacture of hydrocyanic acid. It has been used as a softener for paper and fiber. It is a solvent for many ionic compounds. It has also been used as a solvent for resins and plasticizers.

Formamides are compounds of the type RR′NCHO. One important formamide is dimethylformamide, (CH3)2NCHO.

Production

Historical production

In the past, formamide was produced by treating formic acid with ammonia, which produces ammonium formate, which in turn yields formamide upon heating:

HCOOH + NH3 → HCOO−
NH+
4 HCOO−
NH+
4 → HCONH2 + H2O

Formamide is also generated by aminolysis of ethyl formate:

HCOOCH2CH3 + NH3 → HCONH2 + CH3CH2OH

Modern production

The current industrial process for the manufacture of formamide involves the carbonylation of ammonia:

CO + NH3 → HCONH2

An alternative two-stage process involves the ammonolysis of methyl formate, which is formed from carbon monoxide and methanol:

CO + CH3OH → HCOOCH3 HCO2CH3 + NH3 → HCONH2 + CH3OH

Applications

Formamide is used in the industrial production of hydrogen cyanide. It is also used as a solvent for processing various polymers such as polyacrylonitrile.

Reactions

Formamide decomposes into carbon monoxide and ammonia at 180 °C.

HCONH2 → CO + NH3

Traces of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and water are also observed.

In the presence of solid acid catalysts, formamide dehydrates to HCN:


Formamide

HC(O)NH2 → HCN + H2O

Niche or laboratory applications

Formamide is a constituent of cryoprotectant vitrification mixtures used for cryopreservation of tissues and organs.

Formamide is also used as an RNA stabiliser in gel electrophoresis by deionizing RNA. In capillary electrophoresis, it is used for stabilizing (single) strands of denatured DNA.

Another use is to add it in sol-gel solutions in order to avoid cracking during sintering.

Formamide, in its pure state, has been used as an alternative solvent for the electrostatic self-assembly of polymer nanofilms.

Formamide is used to prepare primary amines directly from ketones via their N-formyl derivatives, using the Leuckart reaction.

Biochemistry

Cycle for methanogenesis, showing two formamide-containing intermediates.

Formamides are intermediates in the methanogenesis cycle.

Prebiotic chemistry

Main article: Hypothetical types of biochemistry

Formamide has been proposed as an alternative solvent to water, perhaps with the ability to support life with alternative biochemistries to that currently found on Earth. It forms by the hydrolysis of hydrogen cyanide. With a large dipole moment, its solvation properties are similar to those of water.

Formamide has been shown to convert to traces of guanine upon heating in the presence of ultraviolet light.

Safety

Contact with skin and eyes is not recommended. With an LD50 of grams per kg, formamide is of low acute toxicity. It also has low mutagenicity.

Formamide is classified as toxic to reproductive health.

Emilio Veratti

Emilio Veratti (1872-1967)

Emilio Veratti (24 March 1872, Varese – 24 February 1967) was an Italian anatomist and pathologist. He is known for his discovery of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

He studied medicine at the Universities of Pavia and Bologna, where he received his doctorate in 1896. Following graduation he worked for Camillo Golgi (1843-1926) at the Institute of General Pathology in Pavia. Here he distinguished himself by way of research in the fields of histology and microbiology. Eventually he attained the title of "libero docente" (equivalent of privat-docent) in histology and general pathology.

In 1921 he established a bacteriology laboratory in the medical clinic at Pavia. In 1930 he was successor to Aldo Perroncito (1882-1929) as professor of general pathology, a position he kept until his retirement in 1942.

In March 1902, he provided the first accurate description of the reticular network (sarcoplasmic reticulum) in skeletal muscle fibers. His published findings attracted little attention at the time, and as years passed by, his discovery was all but forgotten. In 1961 "Veratti's reticulum" was re-discovered through the use of electron microscopy.

Helena Brown (politician)

Helena Brown is the former representative for District A in the Houston City Council, representing the Spring Branch area of Houston, Texas.Tea Party movement.

History

Early life

Brown was born in Southern California. At age four she moved with her family to Spring Branch, Houston.Houston City Council District A for almost all of her life. Brown's parents homeschooled her. She had served as the Republican Party chair of precinct #577, a 13-city block area, since age 18. Precinct chairs get their party's votes within their jurisdictions. Brown had volunteered for several Republican Party campaigns. In 2001,University of St. Thomas,Bachelor of Arts degree in history. In 2001 she started a nonprofit organization called Turris Davidica which aimed to distribute Roman Catholic religious media and assist needy people. In 2010 the organization defaulted on its charter. Emily DePrang of the Texas Observer said that the accomplishments of the organization were unclear.

According to the city administrator of Bunker Hill Village, a municipality in Greater Houston, Brown worked in the city government as a part-time receptionist for one year in 2007. The office of the Texas Secretary of State states that Brown had been a member-at-large of the Moritz Village Townhomes Association since 2007; her official website stated that she was the president of the association while her city council page on the City of Houston website said that she was a former president of the association.

Election

She was elected to her city council post in November 2011. She ran against Brenda Stardig and campaigned on a platform of fiscal conservatism. There was an 8% turnout in her district.

Brown won the runoff election with 3,042 votes in December 2011. Since District A had 200,000 people, the winning votes represented fewer than 2% of the district's total population.Texas Observer said that Brown had been lucky because of circumstances which had been favorable for her.

Political career

In January 2012 she took office. Chris Moran of the Houston Chronicle said that she "has stood out for her numerous "no" votes against spending and her tags to hold up other votes."


Helena Brown (politician)

During her career she voted against many goods and services she characterized as being "luxury", opposing around 50% of the spending proposals in the city government.The Colbert Report to justify voting against funding meals for the elderly, storm sewers, and fire trucks."tags, parliamentary procedures used to delay votes, with any rationale on agenda items so they occur one week later than without the tag. In February the city council admonished Brown and began overriding her tags; the previous such override occurred in the summer of 2011. Moran said that an override is very "unusual" and that it "generally is frowned upon as a break from council decorum."de facto control over Brown's city council post and actions.

In 2012 Mario Diaz, the head of the Houston Airport System, invited her to travel to Korea to meet with airline representatives for expanding service into Houston. Brown's district has a large Korean American population. After the airlines cancelled the meetings, Diaz ended the Korea trip but Brown went anyway, spending $11,000 in public money on her airfare. Jessica Michan, the press secretary of the City of Houston, said that she never met airline representatives. Terrence McCoy of the Houston Press said "It's unclear what, if anything, Brown accomplished while in Asia."Fox O&O television station KRIV said that Brown "has been labeled both a hypocritical penny pincher and the bumbling puppet of a shady financier" and that she had "taken quite a beating in the local press".

In 2014, Brown was replaced as Houston City Council representative for District A by Brenda Stardig following a December 2013 runoff election.

The Hester-Lenz House is a historic house at 905 AR 5 N in Benton, Arkansas. Built in 1836 on what was then the Southwest Trail or the Military Road, it may be the oldest surviving house in Saline County that remains in its original location, and it may have been the location of a vote for independence of the state of Arkansas. The original construction, a two-story log dogtrot believed to have been built about 1836–37, was modified in the late 19th century by German immigrants with their distinctive vernacular styling.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.Oscar F. Lenz House, as the Lenggenhager House.

Egliswil

Egliswil is a municipality and village in the district of Lenzburg in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.

Aerial view (1958)

History

It appears that there was a Roman estate in Egliswil, though the only archeological evidence is a single Roman era grave. The modern village of Egliswil is first mentioned in 924 as Egirichiswilare.Habsburgs pledged the low justice rights to the Lords of Hallwyl. They merged Egliswil into the court of Hallwil. In 1677 they raised the, now much larger, village into its own independent court. The Untervogtei was placed in the Haus zum Sonnenberg a stone building from 1694.

The romanesque aisleless church, with a churchtower from the 16th century, was a branch of the church in Seengen.

In addition to grain, the main businesses of the village were vineyards (since the 17th century) and home working for the cotton industry (from 18th century). From the 1950s, small-scale industry moved into the edge of the village.

Geography

View of Egliswil

The countryside of the municipality

Egliswil is located in the Lenzburg district, in a depression on the right edge of the lower Seetal valley. The larger village of Seon is 2 km distant (measured from centre-to-centre) — the small Aabach river forms part of the boundary between the municipalities. In Seon is the nearest railway station to Egliswil.

The municipality consists of the haufendorf village (an irregular, unplanned and quite closely packed village, built around a central square) of Egliswil surrounded by some agricultural land and forest. The centre of the village features the Gemeindehaus (the headquarters of the municipality), a primary school and a church.


Egliswil

The municipality has an area, as of 2009, of 6.29 square kilometers (2.43 sq mi). Of this area, 3.28 km2 (1.27 sq mi) or 52.1% is used for agricultural purposes, while 2.5 km2 (0.97 sq mi) or 39.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.52 km2 (0.20 sq mi) or 8.3% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.02 km2 (4.9 acres) or 0.3% is either rivers or lakes and 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.2% is unproductive land.

Of the built up area, housing and buildings made up 4.1% and transportation infrastructure made up 3.0%. Out of the forested land, all of the forested land area is covered with heavy forests. Of the agricultural land, 35.1% is used for growing crops and 15.4% is pastures, while 1.6% is used for orchards or vine crops. All the water in the municipality is in rivers and streams.

Coat of arms

The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Azure three fishes fretted Argent between as many Mullets of Five two and one of the same.Alemanni Egirichswilare refers to the farm estate of Egirich (the "Fear and Loathing Kingdoms"), so has nothing to do with perch (Swiss German: Egli). The stars element is derived from the coat of arms of Aargau and originally — as was the case with the canton's arms — the stars were six-sided.

Carl Friedrich Schmidt (artist)

Not to be confused with Carl Friedrich Schmid or Carl Friedrich Schmidt aka F.Schmidt aka Fedor Bogdanovich.

Carl Friedrich (C.F.) Schmidt (1811, Stettin – 1890, Berlin) was a German botanical artist. He was a specialist in spermatophytes and was a renowned botanical artist (akademischer Künstler zu Berlin) and lithographer who illustrated many of the Germanic botanical works of the 19th century. He is not to be confused with Carl Friedrich Schmidt, born 1832, the Baltic German geologist and botanist..The standard author abbreviation C.F.Schmidt is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.

Biography

In collaboration with Otto Karl Berg (1815-1866), professor of pharmaceutical botany at Berlin University,Darstellung und Beschreibung in den Pharmacopoea Sämtliche Borussica offizinellen Gewächse aufgeführten (1853). Publisher: Arthur Felix, LeipzigBenjamin Daydon Jackson describes this work, a survey of plants used in the Prussian pharmacopoeia, as "A thoroughly good book, probably the very best of its class; both in text and illustrations".

Berg and Schmidt also published the Pharmacopoea Borussica aufgeführten offizinellen Gewächse in 1846.

C.F. Schmidt was a contributing artist to the work Köhler's Medizinal Pflanzen. Publisher: Gera-Untermhaus : F.E. Köhler, [1883-1914].Medizinal Pflanzen was published in 1887 in Gera, an east-central German city south of Leipzig. The set of four volumes was a noteworthy achievement and included plants of medicinal interest from several European nations. It was described by Sitwell and BluntKöhler's Medizinal Pflanzen was edited by Gustav Pabst, a German botanist. The remarkable feature of the publication is its nearly 300 finely detailed illustrations, expertly drawn by the artists L. Müeller and C.F. Schmidt, which were skillfully rendered by K. Gunther in chromolithography.


Carl Friedrich Schmidt (artist)

It is remotely possible that C.F. Schmidt was the proprietor of the C.F. Schmidt Photography Studio in Halberstadt, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, in the mid 19th century. C.F. Schmidt, the botanical artist/lithographer, lived in Blankenburg am Harz, the village of his son's birth, in 1833. km from Blankenburg. More research needs to be performed in this area to establish any connection.

Family

Born in Stettin, Kingdom of Prussia,Otto Karl Berg, who was also born in Stettin. It is with Berg, as adults, that Schmidt collaborated on several important scientific publications. Schmidt was four years older than Berg. In 1832 C.F. Schmidt married Christiane Johanne Kast.

Coney Island or Inishmulclohy (Irish: Inis Uí Mhaolchluiche),Rosses Point and Coolera peninsulas in Sligo Bay, County Sligo, Ireland. It is one of several islands of the same name off the coast of Ireland. It is an island of approximately 400 acres and is named after the vast quantity of rabbits which can be spotted on the island at any time, the Irish for rabbit being coinín./ˈkoʊni/, historically /ˈkʌni/) was an English word for a rabbit or rabbit hair, with both words originally deriving from the Latin cuniculus, meaning "rabbit").

History

In 1862 the island had a population of 124 people, with 45 children attending the local school. The island now has only one family of permanent inhabitants (traceable back to the 1750s) but has many other temporary residents, especially in the summer months.

Coney Island, County Sligo

Activities

Island sunset

Visitors to Coney Island like to frequent the local pub, spot the faerie ring and Napoleonic star shaped forts, visit Carty’s strand (the secluded beach to the rear of the island) for a swim or walk around the island to spot rabbits or the schoolhouse and other famine structures which remain.

Folklore

There are also stories of faeries, mermaids and spirits on Coney Island, and visitors can try to find the elusive St Patrick's wishing chair, St Patrick's well, the remains of a washed up whale and some fairy forts.

In the late 1700s, the merchant ship Arethusa sailed the route between Sligo and New York City. Regarding the naming of New York's Coney Island: one theory is that the ship's captain named that island after Sligo's Coney Island.

Access

Coney Island is accessible by boat from Rosses Point, or by driving or walking over the causeway, two and a half kilometres across Cummeen Strand, guided by 14 pillars, at low tide. The bollards were constructed in the mid-1800s, lining up with the Black Rock lighthouse, to aid in night time travel across the bay. A spate of drowning tragedies in the 1800s, including that of the then owner of the island, William Dorrin, in 1823, prompted the construction of the bollards.

Chayka Naval Air Base

Chayka Naval Air Base (Bulgarian: Морска авиобаза "Чайка") is a Bulgarian Navy base. It may be spelled 'Tchaika' and is sometimes known as Varna-Chaika. Chaika means seagull in Bulgarian. It is located on the southern edge of a river estuary south of the city of Varna on the Black Sea coast.

History

A seaplane base at Peinerdzhika (or Peynerdjik) was established by the Imperial German Navy Air Service and opened in early spring 1916 during World War I. It was handed over to the Bulgarian Navy in April 1918 and became its main air base. On 5 April 1941 it became the base for Luftwaffe floatplanes of 7 Seenotdienststaffel. It is home to the Naval Aviation's helicopter unit.

Bucko artist Erika Moen

Ain't It Cool News wrote: "This Dark Horse collection of the Jeff Parker/Erika Moen online comic is easily the funniest book to come out this year."Newsarama called Bucko, "a strip that brings the bizarre anarchy of a Coen brothers caper to the streets of Portland."Paste Magazine characterized the comic as a hipster version of The Big Lebowski, and compared the writing style to Raymond Chandler.

A review by Publishers Weekly praised the illustration: "Artist Moen's work is lively, capturing the action of the script perfectly and bringing the characters to energetic life."Willamette Week reviewed the book version of the comic and wrote:

it's Moen ... who really sells the story, with a lighthearted illustration style that keeps what is ultimately a violent story full of unpleasant people funny rather than dark, and a knack for conveying action and movement that propels the reader from one panel to the next.


Bucko (comics)

The Portland Mercury commented, "While technically a murder mystery, Bucko is straight-up comedy, sprinkled with saucy characters and more Portland situations than you can shake a kombucha mother at."The Daily Astorian described Bucko as "an alternative story with adult content".

Eglonaspididae

Eglonaspididae is a family of extinct amphiaspidid heterostracan agnathans whose fossils are restricted to Lower Devonian marine strata of Siberia near the Taimyr Peninsula. In life, all of the amphiaspidids are thought to be benthic animals that lived most of their lives mostly buried in the sediment of a series of hypersaline lagoons. Amphiaspids are easily distinguished from other heterostracans in that all of the plates of the cephalothoracic armor are fused into a single, muff-like unit, so that the forebody of the living animal would have looked, in the case of elgonaspidids, very much like a hot water bottle with or without a pair of small, degenerated eyes and a simple, slit-like mouth positioned at the anteriormost portion of the cephalothoracic armor.

Taxonomy

Eglonaspis

Eglonaspis has a flattened, triangular-shaped cephalothoracic shield with large, crenulated fringes at the posteriolateral ends, and an elongated, tube-like head. Unlike most of its close relatives, has no trace of eyes, nor preorbital openings whatsoever (though, none of the other eglonaspidid genera have preorbital openings, either). The head of Eglonaspis has degenerated into a tube-like mouth which, according to researchers, is hypothesized to have permitted the living animal to filter-feed particles in the water column just above the surface of the substrate while the animal stayed buried beneath the substrate.

Gerronaspis

Gerronaspis was originally described as a species of Putoranaspis, as "Putoranaspis dentata," by Obruchev in 1964. In 1971, Novitskaya reappraised the species and separated it into a new genus. Gerronaspis has an oval-shaped cephalothoracic shield with crenulated fringes near the posteriolateral ends. The head is short, and has small orbital openings, albeit that are quite large when compared to the orbital openings of other eyed eglonaspidids like Empedaspis.

Lecanaspis


Eglonaspididae

Lecanaspis

Lecanaspis is very similar in anatomy to Eglonaspis, that is, it has a triangular, plate-like cephalothorax. Although the head is missing in the holotype, later, more complete specimens show that, like Eglonaspis, Lecanaspis had an elongated, tubular head with no eyes.

Empedaspis

Empedaspis is thus far known only from a large fragment of the anterior portion of a large cephalothoracic shield. Enough of the fragment permits researchers to hypothesize that the complete cephalothorax would have been shaped like a hot water bottle, possibly with crenulated lateral wing-like extensions, and would have had a small tab-shaped head with small eyes.

Pelurgaspis

Pelurgaspis is known from an incomplete cephalothoracic shield that is triangular in shape. The intact shield may have been shaped like a corn kernel or a guitar pic. The small eyes of Pelurgaspis are positioned at the anterior-most end of the small head.
