This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.

just click this.
Anyways,
I was bored. today was my first official day of summer.
and i spent like almost 2 hours on this.
but actually, i was working on something else.
but i hated it. but i spent about another 2 hours on that so,
yeah. idk.
my brain hurts.
and yeah,

As summer began in 2020, I started seeing some strange change in driving behavior—where my neighbors slowed down and rolled through Stop signs rather than stopping their vehicles. Initially, I attributed the disrespectful and dangerous practice to SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2)/COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. Many people weren’t working, or if doing so from their residence, and traffic was considerably lighter than usual.
But as San Diego reopened (before later closing again), the no-stopping continued and I recognized the real cause to be something else that is far more disturbing. The Stop-sign roll-throughs started not long after the city opened the first so-called traffic calming measure at Alabama and Meade in University Heights. Where once were Stop signs, the city has placed circles at four-ways where drivers now slow and yield. I first observed the slowing behavior at posted Stops along Meade at Campus and also Cleveland. Coincidence? I think not.
By adding traffic circles along Meade—also at Hamilton, Louisiana, and Utah, among other cross-streets—city planners unwittingly (or so I presume) are changing residents’ driving habits. Many drivers become accustomed to slowing at intersections, even when prompted to stop.
I am reminded of an experience in Puerto Rico, where two friends and I flew in February 1987 and stayed for six weeks. Around 2 a.m, after picking up our rental car, we stopped at our first red traffic light. Coming the other direction, a local driver slowed down at the four-way, then proceeded through the intersection. Over the next couple days, we discovered that running red lights was commonplace. I asked one of our hosts about this strange practice, to which she gave unexpected response: The behavior started when the island adopted right-on-red laws. I don’t know how people drive on the island in 2021, but I am witness to something similar locally in my neighborhood.
Granted, observation and speculation prove nothing. But I present this: My first sighting of Stop-sign runners occurred a few weeks after opening of the first traffic circle and has increased since. In fact, if I stand back on Meade and watch vehicles moving down Cleveland the majority roll through rather than stop—and that unquestionably is a change from movement seen before May 22, 2020, which was the day Meade at Alabama reopened.

But instead of letting go of it

Forgive my rather emotional language, but if you are responsible for this you are a moron of the first order.
Okay, maybe you just put the paint pot down and walked on, then another moron knocked it over.
Next morning, a load of little kids had to walk to school through this. It's all over their shoes, its gets walked into their school, into their houses, ruins the paving stones in the Passage...still think there's no consequences to just leaving that paint pot in the street?
When that butterfly flaps its wings, I hope you are at the epicentre of the subsequent earthquake...
Update Enterprise cleared the pot and put some sort of granules down on the mess but not before the paint had been walked all through the infant school and caused a dreadful mess in the brand new nursery building. The flagstones are ruined. I hope there is some way of getting them clean again, but I'm not holding out much hope that they'll just do it. I've seen plenty of old paint spills round here that are just left.
Update #2: The flagstones in the Passage were jet washed clean, although the street on either side was not.
The simple inability to pay bond often has severe negative consequences on the very things that help someone charged with a crime succeed: employment, stable housing, and strong family and community connections. Pre-trial detention can cause loss of housing and/or jobs, separation of families, and lost custody of children. It also results in higher rates of conviction, as people are forced to plead guilty in order to go home rather than fight their charges. With the stakes so high, CCBF hopes to alleviate the harm for as many people as possible by assisting them in paying their bonds, allowing them to remain free while fighting their cases.

November 18, 2010 - "Roles for Third Parties in Improving Implementation of EPA's and OSHA's Regulations on the Management of Low-Probability, High-Consequence Process Safety Risks" - Penn Program on Regulation, in conjunction with the Wharton Risk Management Center, hosted a conference regarding the usage of third party auditors in the enforcement of regulatory safety measures in high risk industries. Industries which experts call "Low-Probability, High-Consequence," such as nuclear reactors, oil refineries, or chemical processing plants, are specifically hoped to be improved by third party inspections safety. The conference brought together numerous participants from a variety of fields, including from government, industry, insurance, academia, and non-profit sectors. The conference consisted of a day-long discussion spread over three separate panels. Over the course of the conference, participants stressed the importance of implementing a third party system to effectively and thoroughly audit industry despite lack of adequate funds and resources. Other potential scenarios offered for enacting effective third party auditing included making sure that these third party auditors were completely independent from the industries they would be inspecting so as to eliminate bias or a conflict of interest. Another issue to consider is the question of whose authority would the third party auditors be under and what kind of enforcement power would they have to enforce industry change. One of the panel discussions brought up the potential linkage of third party audits with insurance companies so as to provide an incentive for industry to decrease safety risks in order to pay lower insurance premiums. Workshop participants included Isadore "Irv" Rosenthal, a Senior Research Fellow at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center; Howard Kunreuther, James G. Dinan Professor of Business and Public Policy at Wharton and Co-Director of the Wharton Risk Center; Laurie Miller, Senior Director of Environment and Process Safety at the American Chemistry Council; Erwann O.

Mold is basically a fungus that grows in the Damp areas like in bathroom, plumbing, cabinet, AC cabinet and walls, due to the high humidity levels and also in outdoors to conserve the ecosystem by decaying the dead organism by feeding on them. Mold or Mold Spores have both the good and bad impact on our environment. It plays an important role in the outside environment. Whereas, the Mold Growth inside a home have adverse effects and should be taken into concern. For more information, visit homerestorationinfo.tumblr.com/post/171151928024/conseque...
Note inserted on a separate sheet of paper with my new house insurance. It's the first proper evidence I've seen of the effect of the European referendum on me, directly - without directly attributing it to Brexit.
What it's saying is that I have bought a policy from a company that intends to move its head office from the UK to Luxembourg soon. This means if I have any complaints about their service, the local authorities will only be able to deal with a 'branch' of the company, not the company itself. To do that, I am obliged to consult one of three alternatives, two of whom I have never heard of (because my mother tongue is not French). It could also suggest various other things, but I will leave the viewer to decide what they are.
But what it says to me is that this is the thin end of the wedge. Expect to see more and more of this, particularly as your various insurance policies expire. How are we 'taking back control', if all the smart money is shipping out?
The town on that ridge is Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. It got its name back in 1950, when Ralph Edwards, the host of a popular radio program called "Truth or Consequences," announced that he'd do a broadcast from the first town that changed its name to the name of the show. Hot Springs, NM was that town. It was a publicity stunt but Edwards went to the town on the first weekend of May, 1950 -- and kept going back annually for fifty years. According to Wikipedia, the event was called the Fiesta and included a beauty contest, parade, and stage show.

The whole world is watching with shock at the devastating consequences of the earthquake and tsunami on the East coast of Japan. It is very difficult to stay untouched watching the horrific events when nature unleashed its most terrible forces. All our thoughts and sympathy are nowadays with the Japanese people.
This set of pictures shows the results of flooding in Bath area in January 2008. It looks like a minor stomach upset in comparison with the deadly events in Japan, but still shows us that we all little children of Mother Nature.
