|Teddy Pendergrass
|Thursday, 14 January 2010 11:47
Theodore DeReese "Teddy" Pendergrass, Sr.
Born: March 26, 1950, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Died: January 13, 2010, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Age: 59
Cause of death: Cancer surgery complications.
Notable because: Vocalist with Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes - sang 'If you don't know me by now'. Paralyzed from waist down from age of 32 following car accident.
Teddy Pendergrass was an American R&B/soul singer and songwriter. Also known by the nicknames Teddy P, TP, or Teddy Bear, Pendergrass first rose to fame as lead singer of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in the 1970s before embarking on a successful solo career at the end of the decade.
Teddy Pendergrass was born to Ida Geraldine Epps and the late Jesse Pendergrass (murdered in 1962), who left when Pendergrass was young and was not a part of his life. He was a student at the old Thomas Edison High School for Boys in Philadelphia. However, he dropped out in the 11th grade to go into the music business. According to author Robert Ewell Greene, Pendergrass was ordained a minister as a youngster. Later he was to become a drummer for a band, and later lead singer. The church was his initiation for talent and eventual success.
Pendergrass's career began when he was a drummer for The Cadillacs, which soon merged with Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. Melvin invited Pendergrass to become the lead singer after he jumped from the rear of a stage and started singing his heart out. Months later the group signed with Gamble & Huff on the then CBS subsidiary Philadelphia International Records in 1972. The Blue Notes had hits such as "I Miss You," "Bad Luck," "Wake Up Everybody," the two million seller "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and many more. Following personality conflicts between Melvin and Pendergrass, Pendergrass launched a solo career and released hit singles like "The More I Get the More I Want," "Close the Door," "I Don't Love You Anymore," "Turn Off the Lights" and others.
His first solo album was self titled Teddy Pendergrass (1977), followed by Life is a Song Worth Singing (1978), Live Coast to Coast and Teddy (1979), 1980's TP and the final Philadelphia International Records album It's Time for Love (1981). He also sang a duet with Whitney Houston on "Hold Me", from her self-titled debut album.
On March 18, 1982, in the Germantown section of Philadelphia on Lincoln Drive, Pendergrass was involved in an automobile accident when the brakes failed on his Rolls Royce car and he hit a tree. Pendergrass and his passenger, Tenika Watson, a transsexual nightclub performer with whom Pendergrass was casually acquainted, were trapped in the wreckage for 45 minutes. While Watson walked away from the accident with minor injuries, Pendergrass suffered a spinal cord injury leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.
In August 1982, PIR also released This One's for You, while Pendergrass was recovering from his accident. In 1983, the album Heaven Only Knows was released. This was his last album containing his pre-accident recordings. Ten years after the accident, he recorded a version of "One Shining Moment," the theme for March Madness Basketball on CBS.
After completing physical therapy, he returned to the studio to record the album Love Language, featuring the 1984 ballad "Hold Me", a duet with a then-unknown Whitney Houston. He also returned to the public for a performance on July 13, 1985, at the historic Live Aid concert in Philadelphia, then continued to record throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 1996, he starred alongside Stephanie Mills in the touring production of the gospel musical Your Arms Too Short to Box with God. In 1998, Pendergrass released his autobiography entitled, Truly Blessed.
In 2006, Pendergrass announced his retirement from the music business. In 2007, he briefly returned to performing to participate in Teddy 25: A Celebration of Life, Hope & Possibilities, a 25th anniversary awards ceremony that marked Pendergrass' accident date, but also raised money for his charity, The Teddy Pendergrass Alliance, and honored those who helped Pendergrass since his accident.
In 2009, Pendergrass underwent colon cancer surgery and had difficulty recovering. He died on January 13, 2010, at age 59, while hospitalized at Bryn Mawr Hospital in suburban Philadelphia

Eagle LNG Partners announced yesterday it has filed a formal application with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for authorization to build and operate natural gas liquefaction and export facilities in Jacksonville, Florida. The proposed project consists of three liquefaction trains. At full build-out the facilities will be capable of producing up to 1.65 million gallons of LNG per day, or approximately 1 million tonnes per annum.
The LNG will be transported to markets in the Caribbean and Latin America for power generation. The LNG will also be delivered to local and regional markets, including marine bunkering and high horsepower applications for domestic consumption. "The dramatic growth of natural gas supply in the United States has created abundant and affordable natural gas reserves that make LNG a competitively priced fuel alternative to diesel and heavy fuel oil. In addition, natural gas fuel has significant environmental benefits, reducing air pollution and carbon emissions," said Dick Brown, CEO of Eagle LNG.
Eagle LNG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferus Natural Gas Fuels LP and privately-held by The Energy & Minerals Group.

Werewolf flicks: take em or leave em, but make no bones about them, they're either presented in two different premises: the slam-bang in your face brutality aspect, or the subtle, creeping, plodding overhead doom-ish view.

New paper proposes that length of myotomy during achalasia surgery may be shortened using EndoFLIP
24th March 2015
A new paper from Guy's and St Thomas's Hospital, London has been published which proposes that the length of the myotomy carried out during Achalasia surgery may be reduced by an average of 5cm by using EndoFLIP guidance during surgery, with no reported reduction in post-operative quality of life. The paper describes how use of intraluminal imaging with the EndoFLIP balloon located in the gastroesophageal junction during surgery, acts as a smart bougie. As fibre is cut, the surgeon can observe the junction opening in real time, and can stop cutting when adequate junction opening is achieved. This offers an shorter surgery compared with the more traditional approach which requires up to 12cm of fiber to be cut regardless of the opening being achieved, since junction opening has not traditionally been possible to measure during surgery.

Warrington Wolves Rugby Club has announced plans to expand their stadium to increase capacity by 2,000 for the 2012 season.
The Halliwell Jones Stadium which opened in 2003 currently holds 13,024 but the club is keen to cash in on high attendances by developing the Martin Dawes Stand. It's expected to cost £2m to bring the stadium capacity to 15,000 which could help make the venue more attractive for hosting future sporting events.
A club spokesman said: "When the stadium was originally built the fans particularly requested that the traditional standing terraces from Wilderspool be incorporated into the new stadium and this will be continued into the new development. The south-east corner will be standing terraces and the north-east corner will be seating with new roofing connecting the East to the North and South."
Wolves hope the expansion will help their bid to host 2013 Rugby League World Cup games. The 14 team tournament will be held in England and Wales in November 2013 but organisers have yet to confirm host stadiums.
The stadium has also hosted Liverpool Football Club's reserve team between 2007 and 2009 and UEFA Women's Euro 2005 matches. The development work is scheduled for the summer of 2011 and be ready in time for the 2012 season.

Carl Carlson of Navajo Reservation had Sex With Toddler, Feds Say; ID'd by Pictures of Penis and "Stumpy" Thumbs
Pictures taken last week of a Navajo man's penis and "stumpy" thumbs reportedly link him to the photographed sexual assault of a toddler.
Carl Carlson of the Navajo Nation committed aggravated sexual assault of a child, sexual exploitation of a child and possessed child pornography, according to a complaint filed on Friday in U.S. District Court by the FBI.
Carlson's wife talked to Phoenix police in March of 2011 after she found a "large stack" of pictures in a car of the young girl being molested by a man she believed was her husband.
The girl, a few years older now, was probably between 1 and 4 years old when she was assaulted, authorities believe.

Several of the pictures showed a man's fingers and penis touching or being inserted into the girl's vagina. It's unclear from the criminal complaint whether the pictures one or more separate assaults.
Carlson's face wasn't in the photos, but his wife told police she knew it was him because she recognized his distinctly discolored penis and "stumpy" thumbs. She confronted him before going to the police, but Carlson denied he was the man in the pictures.
The girl, when interviewed by agents, had no recollection of the molestation.
Authorities tried to find Carlson soon after his wife made her report, but he had vanished. In July of 2012, though, he was arrested on an unrelated charge and held in jail. A federal search warrant was issued on November 2 that allowed the FBI to photograph Carlson's hands and penis, which they did on November 7.
The new photographs "match the male's penis and thumbs depicted in the seized child pornography photographs..." the complaint says.
Having the suspect's face in the pictures might have been better, but sometimes you have to work with what you've got.

Throughout the course of her career, Nan Goldin has famously and frequently declared that The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is the diary she lets people read. The piece is strongly autobiographical in character, chronicling the people and pleasures in her life, both glamorous and self-indulgent, destructive and jubilant at different times.
The Ballad Triptych is arranged in three grids of photographs and is directly derived from the foundational work, incorporating some of the most iconic images featured in The Ballad of Sexual Dependency. Like the slideshow, the narrative here is one of coupling and the human need for companionship. As Goldin remarked in the 1986 publication, "there is an intense need for coupling in spite of it all. Even if relationships are destructive, people cling together. Love can be an addiction. I have a strong desire to be independent, but at the same time a craving for the intensity that comes from interdependency." (N. Goldin, Ballad, New York, 1986, p. 7)
In the present work, we recognize many of the main protagonists in Goldin's life. Her childhood friend Suzanne Fletcher can be seen in a number of introspective moments. Cookie Mueller, the poet, writer, and actress, is captured on the set of Bette Gordon's Variety. The transsexual artist Greer Lankton lounges on her bed, head thrown back in rapturous delight. As Goldin wrote: "The women shown together in The Ballad offer a sense of solidarity, almost Amazonian strength, united with deep tenderness, openly tactile without self-consciousness." (Ibid., p. 7).
In a complementary fashion the central panel features many of the men in Goldin's life. In particular, Goldin's infamously abusive boyfriend, Brian, is shown in two images. "French Chris" lolls sensuously across the hood of a blue convertible, chest exposed and grasping a beer can. In another, we peer in at Mark as he starts a car, the interior a wash of red. "The solitary male is shown with his tenderness and vulnerable sexuality," Goldin has written, "but when the men are together, they become tougher." (Ibid., p. 7-8) Certainly, the men are caught in intimate and unguarded moments but there is also a melancholic toughness to the entire grid.
The final grid figuratively marries the two earlier grids. A number of the characters previously introduced now appear as couples, including an image of the artist on Brian's lap at her birthday party. Cookie Mueller reappears as a bride. Goldin even includes an image of her parents celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. In contrast to these joyful moments are those of psychic disconnect epitomized in the blurry photograph of Greer and Robert laying in bed. While their body's touch, the two look out of the frame, Robert to the right and Greer at the camera, effectively dividing the image into two poles. It suggests Goldin's claim that "men and women are irrevocable strangers." (Ibid, p. 7). Together the images function as a visual documentation of the lifecycle of a relationship.
Ultimately, The Ballad Triptych reinforces Goldin's career-long theme of the human need for companionship. For the artist, relationships are not only essential to emotional sustenance but the foundation of her artistic practice. As she wrote: "These pictures come out of relationships, not observation." (Ibid, p. 6). The Ballad Triptych poignantly distills this negotiation of selfhood and the search for interdependency and romantic connection.

As the United States moves from Cold War to Cost War, the management of cost has greatly increased in importance. In fact, the greatest threat today to the strength of the nation may be poor management of the limited remaining resources.
Winning the Cost War documents a new doctrine of cost management developed from battlefield management, one of management's oldest applications. Dale Geiger defines and illustrates new ideas for everything from managerial cost accounting to analysis and accountability.
"Winning the Cost War has moved managerial costing from being a secondary chore to a framework for success in today's environment. A must-read for agency and corporate leaders who need to adopt battlefield instincts of strategy and tactics and apply them in the new fiscal war."—Ward Melhuish, partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Coastal Commission Raises More Concerns About Surf City Desalination Plant
If Poseidon Resources Inc. hopes to have its yet-to-be built Huntington Beach desalination rig online by 2017, it must answer several tough questions about its viability.
That was the basic gist of a California Coastal Commission letter sent to company Vice President Scott Maloni last Monday. The six-page missive, signed by staff environmental scientist Tom Luster, asks the Connecticut-based Poseidon to address questions including how the company plans to deal with contaminated soil at the proposed site on PCH and Newland (near the AES power station) as well as clarification of right of way issues for a nine-mile water delivery pipe.
But of the various concerns outlined in the letter, Poseidon's intention to use existing AES cooling pipes is what seems to top the commission's list, because as it turns out, a 2010 state policy is phasing out the use of such technology.
"The (AES) power plant is planning to end its use of the cooling water system no later than 2020," reads Luster's letter. "[This] would allow Poseidon to operate under the current State Parks approval for only about three or four years of its current 60-year operating life."

Luster's letter explains that the commission had previously requested information from Poseidon to determine if subsurface intake pipes were a feasible alternative to the existing pipes. The letter states that Poseidon had declined to provide the requested information. Uncertainty surrounding the future use of the existing cooling pipes has been a sticking point for critics who say unexpected costs (such as construction of new intake pipes) could lead to increased water bills.
In San Diego County, where Poseidon is currently building its Carlsbad plant near the Encina Power Station, ratepayers have been locked into a 30-year agreement to buy Poseidon water. Under the terms of the agreement there, water customers could be on the hook for construction costs of up to 30 percent per unit price stemming from "uncontrollable circumstances."
Currently, Poseidon is quietly negotiating with a workgroup of 20 Orange County water boards and districts boards. The CCC is expected to render a decision on the fate of Poseidon's desal plant early this summer. Throughout its letter, the commission stated that it was willing to waive certain filing requirements for Poseidon's permit application, adding that any waiver could effect a final decision.

Here is some good news for Delhi residents who want to buy their dream home.
The National Building Construction Corporation Limited (NBCC), the largest public sector construction company, will launch its first housing scheme in the Capital early next year.
Up for grabs would be 2,500 flats, priced between Rs 25 lakh and Rs 60 lakh.
The NBCC has built several infrastructure projects across the country. One such project in the Capital is the Pitampura TV Tower.
It entered the real estate sector recently. The first residential housing project that it started was in Rajarhat, Kolkata, known as VIGYOR Towers.
In the Capital, the flats will come up on 30 acres of land adjoining the Ghitorni metro station on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon road. They will be ready by 2012.
Speaking to HT, Arup Roy Choudhury, chairman and managing director of NBCC said, "We have a land in Ghitorni, which we are planning to develop for residential housing. Details are being worked out for the housing project which will be launched early next year."
This would be the PSU's first housing project in Delhi.
"There is a huge shortage of housing in urban areas. We ventured into the sector to fill the huge demand-supply gap in the housing sector by providing affordable housing," said Choudhury.
Earlier this year, the construction company had launched two housing schemes — in the mid and low-end category at Gurgaon in Haryana and Loni in Uttar Pradesh.
It is coming up with 4,000 flats in Gurgaon for employees of the Central government and public sector units.
The flats are priced between Rs 22 lakh and Rs 45 lakh.
Similarly, in Loni 2,000 flats are being developed in the mid segment category.
Fifty per cent of the flats will be reserved for government employees. The rest will be open to the public. These flats are priced between Rs 7 lakh and Rs 15 lakh.
Presently, there is a huge shortage of affordable housing in the Capital with the Delhi Development Authority — the sole development body in the city — failing to meet the housing requirement.

Guy Has Super Sexist Reply When Woman Turns Him Down In Cringeworthy Texts
Aaaaand here's yet another depressing example of some entitled douchebag being crazy sexist to a girl just because she turned him down.
This humungous jackass got pretty angry — and very sexist — when his embarrassing lack of game failed to land him a date with a girl who already has a boyfriend.
Shocking, right? Right?!
The girl revealed what happened by posting screenshots of their messages on Reddit with the caption, "I didn't want the free pass."
It begins with an avalanche of dreadful flirting, which is double weird because the dude knows she already has a BF.
Anyway, this is important because it establishes they have a mutual interest in rock climbing, and the guy invites the girl along.
Is it a date? Is it not? It doesn't really matter, because it ain't going anywhere.
Ah. Yes. This is the "free pass" I mentioned earlier.
The convo is actually just fine at this point — he mentions he has a free pass for rock climbing (more on that later) but she doesn't need it.
This is where he starts going crazy out of nowhere.
Bro, she didn't want your free pass. You were the one that brought it up, and she declined because you're a creep.
"I know how women operate. They're manipulative and selfish."
Seriously, this is fuckboi 101.
Take that high road, girl.
Calling out the guy for being a total douche and telling him he lives a "sad life" is the perfect way to hit back.
And after that, he's still trying to spit game at her.
Not content with already being a huge sexist, the guy comes back with another burn against the entire female gender, this time writing,
Did I mention women are liars too?
And this time following it up with a cute, "I hope you don't take that personally," complete with the cry-laugh emoji.
Dude, shut it down.
And girls, be very wary of random guys who ask you out on rock climbing dates.

How far does 50 bucks go these days? All the way to Las Vegas and Seattle, if not farther.
ESA Past President Mike Miller, president of Moon Security, found out after becoming one of the first member companies to sign up as a SECURE+ integrator. Through SECURE+, his company's expertise in smart-home and lifestyle enhancement technology is recognized and promoted by ESA as part of the association's newest member benefit.
For a $50 annual fee, Moon Security can post the SECURE+ logo and brand on its marketing collateral and website, showing consumers the company can be trusted for all of their integrated security needs. Another tangible benefit is a healthy public relations push from ESA.
It helps to have a great story to tell. Moon Security recently installed an advanced electronic security system with remotely accessible cameras for a homeowner who wanted to be able to constantly monitor her three Golden Retrievers whenever she couldn't be home. She now can keep an eye on her "Kanine Kids" from virtually anywhere via smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Moon Security passed the word to ESA, and ESA passed the word to the media via the distribution outlet PR Web. Within a few days, the press release had been picked up by a number of media websites nationwide, including Yahoo! News, the Las Vegas Review Journal, the Seattle P.I., redorbit.com, m2mpremier.com, and TV station sites including KHQ-TV in Spokane, Wash and WALB-TV in Albany, Ga.
We know Mike's company isn't the only one with a great story to tell. Already, we're hearing from other companies who are becoming SECURE+ integrators, all with a wide variety of success stories involving the latest smart home technologies. Success is one of the most powerful public relations tools.
Become a SECURE+ integrator, give us a customer testimonial and let ESA get your story out there.Go to www.secureplusweb.org for more information.

As imperfect as humans are, the need to create Gods amongst us, is as old as humanity itself. We organise ourselves into social groups creating a hierarchy where we bequeath special powers on to the leader, forgetting or ignoring, that they are human too. There is a myth that a Spanish king spoke with a lisp, instead of ridiculing him as thye would to any commoner, the population borrowed the speech defect and it became fashionable before settling into the language.
The masses hero-worship celebrities today, and see their movie personas as proof of their art and talent, their impeccable style and their rehearsed lines, enable them to stand out from the great unwashed. Yet, we are fools, as these people are no different from us and are as vulnerable to human flaws as the rest of us.
Read on to meet some celebrities from on high who are as human as we are.
1. Tina Fey – Facial scar
Comedy writer and actress, Tina Fey, has a faint scar under her lip reaching up to her lower cheek. the scar is the result of a horrific attack. When she was 5 years old she was playing in her front yard when a stranger pulled a knife on her. Luckily she survived the attack and hasn't let it control her life, though she does prefer to be filmed from the right.
2. Megan Fox – Misshapen thumbs
Not only is Megan a star on the screen she is also a star at hiding her brachydactyly, a condition which causes misshapen and short wide nails on the thumbs.
3. Denzel Washington – Misshapen finger
Washington snapped his little finger while playing basketball as a child. It was never set correctly, so it healed in an awkward position, pointing away from his hand.
4. Joaquin Phoenix – Facial scar
Phoenix was born with his signature scar above his lip, which is a mild form of cleft palate.

Hi, I have been living in Melbourne for 2 years, originally from Adelaide. I work in Finance, it's a high pressure job so I am rarely home. I'm not a big drinker, I do occasionally just not often.

I am a happy, friendly, tidy and quiet person, good with people, like team work. I have worked in IT for over 20 years as an IT Manager in various medium to large corporate organisations. Currently looking for a new job. For fun i used to ride a motorbike, like fast cars, an aquarist, love music, love technology, bush walking, camping, country side, sea side. I was born in Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles.

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by Idot Buff, Sep 12, 2016.
You know what you'd get if you took away his youth, good looks, athleticism, ambition, accomplishments and money?
I'm not jealous of how that guy is winning at life, but.... yeah, I am.
Good for him! Truly
He's probably still a virgin.
(That's what I tell myself.)
Nah, you wouldn't want to be him
Jessica Lowndes got dam. My would be avatar if she was latina
Most likely has a small penis.
It's 2003 and I'm in the the newly opened club section of Folsom against Ucla. Spent a good 20 minutes overhearing 2 stunning coeds earnestly discussing how much they'd like to double team Bloom. He can go straight to hell.
He ran away from those Florida St DBs. It was fun to watch him play. He had those jittery moves like he was skiing a bump run.
How do you like 'dem apples?
Bloom on the little hitch and go for 98yrds against K-St is one of the truly amazing plays I have ever seen. Terrence Newman a legit 4.4 guy has the angle on Bloom coming from the far side of the field and Bloom turns on the jets and just flat blew past him. Speed to burn.
Every time I see, read or hear about My wife's favorite Buff - hmm wonder why?
To the OP, anyone paying attention has known for a long time.
I hate the NCAA.
Good for him....in all aspects. Glad he was a BUFF
His company down in Phoenix is a client of mine. They clearly were not enamored with some halfway successful college football player and Olympian being their CEO. The company wasn't doing that well either - just kind of limping along with about 100 employees and just coming off a layoff.
This may or may not have anything to do with Bloom, but I was excited to talk about him and they clearly did not want to do so.
I guess you answered the question in the thread title. You knew, along with the 14 people who read Forbes.
I'm pretty sure I knew about that because it was posted here, but it's not worth the time proving. The real point is this is undeniably old news.
Eh... he still can't figure out how to use a hat properly.
Yeah he sure did, worked in the first half so they didn't even try it in the second half, made perfect sense to me
The only highlight to the most sweltering, miserable day in a stadium I have ever experienced.
He looks heavier than before, great shape nonetheless.
and the classy fans were second only to *ebraska butter muffins, still can't believe they went after grandma
Yeah, the fans left much to be desired. There was a moment where I was actually a bit concerned they were going to start a fight with us when we weren't even responding to their testosterone fueled screaming at us.

Sorry as much as i agree that the commando need something, this would make them the new FOTM.
1. if youre using charge to initiate combat, youre doing it wrong.
2. the knockback on Rocket Punch is ~10m. damage breaks the root after 2s. and the knockback + root is only available to 1 spec.
3. melee classes dont have slows/root/stuns of their own?
merc would no longer be a free kill if what i proposed happens. apparently that idea is unpopular with a lot of people

Blip 01:2413. Dead Flowers 03:4814. Far Away 05:06Assembling an intimate set of collaborators from the rock community, Muggs breaks from his usual hip-hop projects and takes a second stab at electronica on Dust. His first attempt was with 1999's Juxtapose, an uneven pairing with Tricky that was dominated by the British rapper's paranoid, druggy sound. Dust is more focused, with Muggs delivering a frequently brilliant collection of dense yet lovely soundscapes. The producer crafts each track with meticulous detail, mixing electronic beats, live instruments, and bizarre samples into epic down-tempo pop. Most impressive is "Rain," a majestic ballad that blends a shuffling beat, orchestral strings, acoustic guitars, and the fragile voice of Buckcherry's Josh Todd into a melancholy gem. "Tears" is a far more menacing highlight, boasting a tense mixture of ghostly female vocals and pounding dance beats. A collaboration with Greg Dulli results in "Cloudy Days," a gritty drug ballad that recalls the menacing soul of the Afghan Whigs' 1965; while the throbbing "Morta" is a seductive, slow burning vamp revolving around moody orchestral flourishes and a lazy tribal drumbeat. "Far Away" finishes the record with a sweeping dream pop coda, slowly devolving from a haze of chiming guitars and buried vocals into a blend of lush synths and chanting. The album's subtle build from bleak electronica to ethereal alternative rock is a stunning accomplishment; his productions haven't maintained this kind of flow since the first Soul Assassins disc. Muggs has made a phenomenal journey back into trip-hop, delivering a brooding masterpiece of cinematic beats and late-night atmosphere.Buy Premium From My Links To Get Resumable Support,Max Speed & Support MeDownload ( Uploadable )http://www.uploadable.ch/file/HG6e8ZnfvFVY/bxnqr.mdfl.rarhttp://www.uploadable.ch/file/wKmQE52BZ7Ev/bxnqr.mdmp.rarDownload ( Uploaded )http://uploaded.net/file/zbk83llf/bxnqr.mdfl.rarhttp://uploaded.net/file/coez4q2l/bxnqr.mdmp.rarDownload ( Rapidgator )http://rapidgator.net/file/7d7b2c7c9c023b1752c8983291a4f004/bxnqr.mdfl.rar.htmlhttp://rapidgator.net/file/9aae869f8e3f86bd5b49882ab01ebf03/bxnqr.mdmp.rar.htmlDownload ( Oboom )https://www.oboom.com/M1C2MB31/bxnqr.mdfl.rarhttps://www.oboom.com/29AF2Q2I/bxnqr.mdmp.rarDownload ( NitroFlare )http://www.nitroflare.com/view/74D984FAFCD4B61/bxnqr.mdfl.rarhttp://www.nitroflare.com/view/7EFB9A89240E2FE/bxnqr.mdmp.rar

A volcano near the city of Rome–the Colli Albani, a Volcanic complex–is waking up says a new report published by scientists from the American Geophysical Union.
Scientists once believed that Colli Albani, a nine-mile semicircle of hills just outside of Rome, was an extinct volcano because there was no record of it having erupted in human history. Of late, however, scientists have noticed new stream vents, rise in ground level in the hills around the area, and earthquakes too.
Such observations, plus the new set of evidence of past eruption and data from satellites, show that Colli Albani is starting to reveal itself, and it has entered the so-called 'eruptive cycle.' But do not pack your bags yet if you live near the area. Scientists have suggested that it would erupt in one thousand years from now, citing the study published in the peer-reviewed journal, the Geophysical Research Letters.
Data gathered by scientists show that the volcano's past eruptive cycles created both low blast of lava and ash that rolled down its slopes at tremendous speeds.
Volcanologist Fabrizio Marra at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome–the lead author of the research–has revealed that under the right circumstances, the volcano is capable of releasing energy comparable to Mt. Vesuvius which destroyed the ancient city of Pompeii in the year seventy-nine A.D.
The eruption of Colli Albani could generate massive, far-reaching clouds of ash and smoke, and rocks, thus sending destruction to nearby cities. The city of Rome is only about nineteen miles from Colli Albani, and it would be severely affected by an eruption if the wind blew in the right direction. In closer places, however, great damage is expected.
Marra hopes the new study will force authorities to conduct better monitoring of the volcano.
The numbers.
The study reveals that the volcano operates on a thirty-one thousand-year cycle of eruption and dormancy. In a report at the AGU, researchers headed by Marra explained that occasionally, a giant 'bubble' of pressurized magma forms underneath our planet's crust, forcing its way upwards into a fracture between two pieces of land. At the Colli Albani, two pieces of land forming the fracture above the magma bubble are being pressed together by the surrounding geology, and it keeps the magma bubble from erupting.
They say the most visible sign of the magma bubble in the area is an increase in height of the hills, and of the surrounding area, as the bubble pushes up from underneath the ground. Over the last two hundred thousand years, the team estimates that the land around the formerly dormant volcano has risen by about fifty meters–or one hundred and sixty-four feet–as magma bubbles form and vanish.
Researchers also have found that the land continues to rise by more than two millimeters–or, about point zero and eight inches–a year, and it shows that the underground bubble of magma underneath the volcano is still growing.
