The Feltron 2010 Annual Report
For the past five years, graphic designer Nicholas Felton has been documenting the minutiae of his life via infographics in the Feltron Annual Reports. This year's Report, however, switches focus to the remarkable life of Felton's father
For the past five years, designer Nicholas Felton has been documenting the minutiae of his life in the Feltron Annual Reports. This year's Report, however, switches focus to the remarkable life of Felton's father
Felton describes his 2010 Report as "an encapsulation of my father's life, as communicated by the calendars, slides and other artifacts in my possession".
While previous Reports have attracted criticism for their navel-gazing, this year's is a far more interesting proposition. Instead of the preoccupations of a somewhat self-obsessed graphic designer, it documents a life that tells the story of the Twentieth Century.
Felton's father was born Günter Fajgenbaum in Berlin in 1931. In 1939, with his two siblings, he escaped Nazi Germany to England. His father stayed behind and died in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 1942.
Now officially 'stateless', Günter went to school in Grimsby before taking an apprenticeship in a Loughborough engineering firm. He became a naturalised British citizen in 1951.
Shortly afterwards, like many others seeking a new life away from impoverished post-war Britain, Günter left for Canada where he changed his name to the anglicized Gordon Felton. The Report traces this new life as Felton travels his new home country before moving on again, this time to the US.
And there he stays, working as an 'elevator adjustor', marrying, remarrying, buying a home and generally living the immigrant dream through the 70s, 80s and into a new century.
In January 2009 Michael Johnson wrote a piece for us on Felton's reports and that of Christopher Doyle, asking the question'Why do graphic designers find themselves so fascinating?' Read it here

Near the end of "Dungeons, Dungeons and more Dungeons" Ford revealed to Dipper, that the portal was dismantle, but it had create a tear in spacetime, he was able to contain it for now but it was very danger and Ford didn't want him telling anyone, not Stan or Mabel even but he tested Dipper with it before put it away again.
In "The Last Mabelcorn", Bill tells Ford that he can't keep the Rift save forever, as Ford says that with it, Bill still has a way of getting in to the human world and would trick or possess anyone to get. To Bill it's just a game but to Ford and Dipper it would mean the end of their word.
And in "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future" the Rift was started crack and it what Bill has been waiting for, if it broke then all of realty would change and bring an event that Ford calls Weirdmageddon, however that was a way to patch it up for good but to do it Dipper and Ford need to find alien adhesive.
When Ford was captured by a drone he gave the Rift to Dipper and tells him to fix it with him, while he tries to save ford, Dipper puts the Rift safely in his bag
Near the end then weir able to get some in adhesive, however just as they weir really to make history, Dipper realized that he had the wrong bag while Mabel had run off with his bag that still the had the Rift inside, meanwhile Mabel finds it and hands it over Blendin Blandin who then drops and smashes it. Blendin then reveals to be possessed by Bill Cipher and knocks her out before leaving the time traveller's body, soon after the portal too Bill's world and everything that Ford feared had come true.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
|Hello, my name is Alexwolf and today I shall be sharing my Talon guide with you. My goal for this guide is to make it a one stop shop for Talon so that anybody can use this guide. For people who want to try and pick up Talon, as well as for Talon mains who hopefully learn a new thing or two from reading. So I would appreciate as much feed back as possible! Now, I love playing Talon because personally, I just like nuking people and deleting them off of the map. Talon excels in this, so that is why I picked him up and main him. Plus look at this champion! He is like some rogue assassin edge lord badass who has a bunch of throwing blades and daggers and just, mmmmffff, this guy is dope.
Hopefully, you enjoy reading the guide. This is also one of my first legit guides so please let me know how I did! All and any type of feed back is welcome! Without wasting any more time, let's get right into this guide.
Pros / Cons
|+ Is the Anti-mid champ
+ Very good at roaming
+ Large AOE damage
+ Easy farming
+ Invisibility
|Talon is in most cases a great pick in solo queue. If you get ganked or are being chased, you can use Rake to slow pursuers or use Shadow Assault to make your get away. He provides large AOE damage in team fights with both Rake and Shadow Assault He scales with AD, so you can last hit easier early game and take towers quicker than an AP mage or AP Assassin. Talon also has a blink move via cutthroat, allowing you to burst somebody before they can do anything. After getting a few items, Rake clears waves instantly and is also a great harassing tool in lane. He can hop onto squishies and melt them before just going invisible, leaving the enemy team down a huge source of damage.
|- Melee
- Can become OOM easily if not careful with your mana pool.
- Weak to early ganks
- useless without kills
|Like every champion, Talon is not perfect. He has pretty bad mana problems if you do not know how to be efficient and careful about your mana, which is something you just learn over time. A lot of inexperienced players spam Rake in the early levels and are OOM before they even reach level 5 or 6. He is also a melee champion, so he can get harassed from range with auto attacks or poke moves. Before level 6, Talon is fairly weak to ganks. He also cannot start bursting until he has at least one point in each move. Talon is also reliant on items and kills. If you do not snowball, you become rather useless to the team. You must also take consideration when it is safe to play Talon. If you don't have an AP Top, Jungler, or Support, I would not recommend it. The enemy team can build straight armor to counter you. However, this should not scare you from playing Talon, his strengths totally make up for his weaknesses.
21 OFFENSE 9 into Defense or Utility
// These are the masteries I use and highly recommend. 21 in the offense tree for standard AD stuff. And the 9 points into utility are for some added movement speed and summoner spell cooldowns. Tthe movement speed allow him to reach minions to last hit better. Also allows him to dodge some skill shots easier. And the lower CDR on summoner spells means flash and ignite will be up more often for escapes/kill potential.
Q: Are these the best masteries for Talon?
// For the offense tree, yes. You want to be dealing as much damage possible as Talon. However, if you feel that you would like more defense, you can place those 9 points from utility into the defense tree. But we shall always run 21 points into offense to maximize your damage as Talon.
- Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage: Pretty standard, for helping to last hit and a little early AD.
- greater mark of armor penetration: We take nine armor pent marks instead of full AD marks because you only lose a little bit of damage but now also have early game armor pent which will help your abilities do more damage to enemy champions. Talon is an AD Caster, armor pent is God like on him.
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: This gives you some survivability against enemy AP mids in the beginning such as LeBlanc or Ahri.
- Greater Seal of Scaling Health: These aren't the best runes for early game, especially since Talon's early game is not that great, but if you can survive the early game, these are far more worth it in the end.
- Seals: For seals you can opt out five armor seals for five Greater Seal of Health. Lately a lot of people have been playing around with health runes since they got buffed. These health runes might also help against a poke reliant match-up at mid. Or flat of either health or armor also works really well too.
- Glyphs: For glyph's, if the enemy team has no AP you can swap out the magic resist for: Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction, Greater Glyph of Mana Regeneration, Greater Glyph of Scaling Mana Regeneration, or Greater Glyph of Attack Damage. Also, if the enemy team has AP but not in your current lane. For example, a Elise in the jungle or a Akali top then you might want to get Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist instead.
Summoner Spells
Flash is a good "get out of jail free" card. Also helps with ganks and closing gaps.
Ignite is good for securing kills and stopping Heal/health regen effects such as Swain or Volibear.
Teleport is fun. You can use wards for mad base steals that win games.
Ability Explenation
Mercy Mercy: Talon's autoattacks deal 10% additional damage to any target that is slowed, stunned, immobilized or suppressed. You just deal more damage to enemies who are in some form of most CC's.
Noxian Diplomacy (Q): Talon's next autoattack deals bonus physichal damage and applies a bleed for six seconds. You gain vision of enemies who are bleeding out. This is just an auto attack enhancer. This also resets your auto attacks. This makes your next AA hit hard.
You're going to want to max out Noxian Diplomacy before Cutthroat and after Rake.
- Noxian Diplomacy is an auto attack reset. You can use this to combo off quick damage by going Auto Attack > Q > Auto Attack. This works on Enemy champions, Minions, Teemo's and Turrets.
- Noxian Diplomacy and Ignite can do a lot of damage over time to an enemy. Try to get a Noxian Diplomacy off as an enemy walks away with low health, the bleed just might kill them.
- You can activate Noxian Diplomacy and then Cutthroat to an enemy champion, instantly applying your Q. The damage will also be amplified against that target.
Rake (W): Talon sends out a volley of daggers in a cone that then quickly return back to him, dealing physical damage to any enemies it passes through. This move deals damage both on the way in, and out. It also applies a slow. This is your main tool for harassing and farming. Use it to harass enemies in lane and later levels, farm large minion waves.
You're going to want to max out Rake after Shadow Assault and before Noxian Diplomacy.
- Rake is your main source of damage. It deals more damage if you hit the enemy when the blades are coming both in and out. Try to hit an enemy twice with Rake for more damage.
- If you are getting ganked early on, shoot Rake at the ganking jungler. Rake applies a decent slow, which should stop the jungler in their tracks as you retreat to safety.
- Rake becomes a great tool for farming once you have a bit of damage. It one shots caster minions and leaves front line minions with barely any health.
- Try not to spam Rake in lane at early levels. It can quickly leave you OOM, and it will not be dealing too much damage to the enemy mid laner or minions until you are around level 4 or 5.
- Rake applies a slow, so if somebody is at close range, Rake them then start auto attacking. This works with your passive, Mercy.
Cutthroat Cutthroat (E): Talon instantly appears behind his target, applying a 99% slow for .25 seconds and amplifying his damage against that target for 3 seconds. This move is a target-able blink. You can use it to close distances or escape. But, you must target an enemy unit.
You're going to want to max out Cutthroat after Noxian Diplomacy and it will be the last skill you max out.
- Cutthroat places you behind the target, always pay attention how close your target is to the tower. You can accidentally blink behind the target and get put into tower range. NOT GOOD!
- To close distances, you can Cutthroat to a minion, that way you become closer in range of a target. For example, if somebody is camping in the back line because they fear you, you can go: Cutthroat to nearby minion, shoot Rake outward at enemy as they retreat.
- You can Cutthroat to things over walls if you have vision and Cutthroat can set up very nasty jukes/escapes. Such as warding a camp and blinking over the wall to a jungle creep. Or Cutthroat and Flash/ Cutthroat and Shadow Assaulting away.
Shadow Assault (R): Talon disperses blades outwards in a 500-radius ring and gains stealth for up to 2.5 seconds while gaining 40% movement speed. When Talon emerges from stealth, the blades converge on his location. When the ring of blades expands and contracts, enemies hit receive physical damage. Each enemy can only be damaged once at the start of the ability and once at the end. This move deals a lot of damage and can be used to chase, escape, burst, etc.
You're going to want to max out Shadow Assault first. Take a point into this move whenever you can.
- You can now Flash while Shadow Assault is up and it will not break your stealth. So Flashing sometime during your ult can help you get really far away. Shadow Assault can just always be used as an escape period, it has a fairly low cool down.
- During team fights or if you are ballsy and by yourself, jump on the carry, burst them down and either immediately use or finish the carry off with Shadow Assault so you can run to safety after securing your kill.
- Shadow Assault and Youmuu's Ghostblade active work very well together. You can go Youmuu's Ghostblade > Shadow Assault in the fog of war where nobody can see you, then run into a lane and jump onto somebody before they even noticed you were there.
Skill Order
Ability Sequence Order
|We want to max out Rake because it is our main source of dealing damage, and is ranged as well. It also allows for easy farming and does huge AOE damage. Secondly, we max Noxian Diplomacy for its added damage. We max Cutthroat last. You only need one point into this move early for the utility of the blink and silence. The silence does not get longer as you rank up this spell, so one point is sufficient.
Item Description
|These are the best boots for roaming in my opinion. Take them if you are ahead and feel it shall be an easy win. If you are not doing so well, opt these out for Mercury's Treads or Ninja Tabi. We specifically take the Alacrity enhancement because Boots of Mobility got nerfed. When you are out of combat, they are slower than regular tier 2 boots, so Boots of Mobility - Alacrity makes up for this. However, if you feel you need Boots of Mobility - Homeguard instead, then by all means pick those up.
|This item is underrated on Talon. It has okay AD. But, it has armor pent and CDR, which is something we will happily take. It also builds out of The Brutalizer. The main reason we take it is for the pent and the active. The active increases your DPS, allowing you to get more auto attacks into your combo. On top of that, you can use the active + Shadow Assault to close large distances and do surprise stealth ambushes from the fog of war. This is my little key trick to insta gibbing enemies who are out of position. Enemies being out of position is something that happens quite often in solo queue, and Talon punishes people for being out of position.
|Cleaver is great. A bit of health. More damage, cdr, and pent which is what you want on Talon. The unique passive is also good for shredding armor. Rake and Shadow Assault shred both on the way in, and on the way out with this item.
|This is for when people are building armor against you but not stacking health. You will shred right through it and render their purchase useless.
|This item is great. It is one of the best AD items out at the moment. Combined with your Youmuu's Ghostblade, you shall be criting for over 1.5k hp. If you need a defensive item, you can swap out the Infinity Edge.
Other Item Choices
: For when the enemy team is not building armor against you. Swap out either The Black Cleaver or Last Whisper for this item. I used to get this as a core item on Talon before it was reworked. It is not a bad item, but I mean, Ravenous Hydra only has 5 less AD, splash damage, and a active that does decent damage and also resets your auto attacks. If you want to take this item, do not hesitate.
: For end game. Sell your boots and swap them for this item. Gives AD, AS, CDR, movement speed, and tenacity. This is a good item for late game.
: For when you are just dying a lot in team fights and need to live in general.
: For when you need a mix of both health and armor. The active also works well against attack speed reliant champions such as Fiora, Jax Lee Sin, and Xin Zhao.
: Against poke reliant enemy team comps, or for a Unstoppable Force.
: For when you need a way to slip out of a hard cc like Impale or for my friend, Zed and his Death Mark.
Laning Phase
|So for the laning phase you just want to sit back and farm up a bit. Do not try to make any plays or all ins until you have all three of your abilities. Farm, harass enemy with Rake, and you can even use Rake to snag a few cs. Just manage your mana wisely. At around level 3-5 is when you can start making plays as Talon.
If the enemy mid laner is fairly weak to you or melee, you should harass them moderately-hard in the beginning, so that when you are level 3 or 4, you can attempt an all in. for example, if they are trying to CS. You can walk up to them and do this combo: AA > Noxian Diplomacy > AA > Rake > AA > AA > AA. The amount of autos you pull off after rake depends on how many you can get in. But this combo is nothing to be trifled with, you will most likely chunk them for almost half of their health.
If enemy is ranged, wait till you are 4 or 5 and have all of your moves. Harass them a bit with Rake until there health is low enough that you can Cutthroat > AA > Q > AA > Rake > AA > Ignite. This should kill them if you have been harassing and they do not have Heal or Barrier.
Mid Game/Roaming
|So when things start coming to mid game and small skrimishes, fights for dragon, and turrets are being taken what you want to do is push your lane hard. If you can manage to kill your lane opponent again and then push their wave forward, that is even better. Once the lane is pushed look at the map and see if you can gank for either lane. Having Boots of Mobility is very helpful at this point and it will make you an even more effective roamer. Gank lanes if you can and then push, maybe even take the tier 1 turret if you can. You should also set up a few Stealth Ward's in the enemies jungle, that way if you see them taking a camp at low health you can be a scumbag and go kill them.
If you pushed your wave and you cannot roam or gank a lane, just lay down some DPS, or commonly referred to by my friends and I, THE DEEPS, on the mid lane tower. Just be wary for the enemy jungler. Remember to keep up with your farm as well, farming is a very important part of the game and will put you ahead in gold even further then you probably already are.
As I mentioned earlier, you want to roam and ward the enemy jungle. You don't have to waste too much money on wards, just buy 1 or 2. We will save our trinket ward for escapes and warding our lane from the enemy jungler. Here is a map giving examples of where to ward.
- Yellow: Vital to protect the jungler on your team
- Blue: For protection depending on which lane you're on
- Red: To guard Dragon and Baron
- Orange: In order to Counter-Jungle
The Blue Circles by each side of the river in mid lane is where you should be warding early on with your trinket and and stealth wards. Mid lane is the shortest lane, but can get ganked on either side. Most mid laners know to place a ward on one side and then stick to that side. If they get ganked, they can retreat to safety since the enemy jungler is ganking from afar. And if the jungler is coming from the side you warded, you can see him so you know to back off.
The Orange Circles are where you should be warding when you are roaming. The enemy jungler will most likely go through there. And the Yellow Circles are where you ward to protect your jungler and to have vision of your jungle if you are losing. The enemies will most likely be roaming your jungle if they have a lead and have taken a lot of towers.
End Game/Team Fights
|During the end game, team fights will be taking place. During a team fight, it is your job to jump on the enemy AD Carry or AP Carry and assassinate them, delete them off of the map. Never start a team fight as Talon, wait for your team to go in. Or if you get engaged on, wait till there is a clear opportunity for you to jump onto the enemy carry.
Even though you shall be focusing all your skills on one person, you shall be dealing large AoE damage to the rest of the enemy team with Rake and Shadow Assault. Once the enemy carry is dead, either re-position yourself or stay in the fight and get more kills.
Remember, it is okay if you die. As long as you assassinate the highest threat on the enemy team, you did your job. Let's say you killed their Lucian, but also died in the process. The enemy team lost a huge amount of their consistent damage and you give your team an advantage who still most likely has a carry alive. The worst case scenario would be that you die and did not kill your intended target.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do you take nine points into utility? That seems like trash.
A: I take nine points into the utility tree mainly for personal reasons. I feel that Fleet of Foot helps me dodge skillshots easier early game and allows me to quickly snag CS faster, allowing me to retreat before taking harass. Summoner's Insight allows for Flash and Ignite to be up more often. Basically, this means an escape up more often and ignite for kill potential up more often. And finally, Alchemist and Culinary Master give you more bang for your buck when you buy and use potions, so in retrospective, this would increase your over all early sustain from using a health potion. Now, if you do not like these masteries feel free to place those nine points into the defense tree. It really makes no difference, in the end it all comes down to personal preference and I happen to prefer a little more utility over defense. If you want to go the defensive route you can take points into Block , Recovery , Unyielding , Veteran Scars , and Juggernaut
Change Log
- Not much has changed with Talon, I did edit his masteries a bit, but these are just personal preference things. Also added in recommendations for warding.
- Trying to fix my Lolrecorder or find a new recording option since I want to get out more helpful videos for the guide. So look forward to that!
- Peace, sex monkeys.
- Updated for the new season. Luckily since he is not a jungler, not much in terms of laning has changed. Added in new elixirs to the build.
- I am starting to enjoy Scaling Health Yellows. I replaced Armor Seals for these seals. This is all preference however, Armor seals are still perfectly fine.
- Happy Holidays all you little Assassin mains~
- Guide has just been published, no changes have been made yet!
- Going to be making a chapter labeled "Lane Matchups" and I shall go over champions you will most likely see in lane. Explaining how to deal with each one in specific.
- Made updates to Runes and Masteries after playing a little longer.
- Working on adding a "Match Ups" Chapter.
- Also considering making a new guide for a different champion. If you are interested or want to see a specific champion, let me know.
- Talon has received nerfs in patch 4.16 his silence was removed from cutthroat and instead it applies a slow for a quarter of a second.

Windows 7 ultimate x64
Maybe I can "reuse" this post for my doubt
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, and I cant make the hibernate mode work fine. This works for Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits (installed in the same computer) and used to work for Windows 7 32 bits that was installed before
When I say "working fine" I say that is not correctly going to S4 mode. Monitor goes off, but I can clearly hear hard disc working. When I used to do this in Win7 32bits, the computer completely went off, saved state in memory, seemed to be totally off. No sounds at all :-)
Whats worse, the system wont go this state if I have, lets say, opened not saved file (pending to be saved or discarded)
I would like to get this capability back
Just if it helps, this is my powercfg -a output:
The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby ( S1 S3 ) Hiber
nate Hybrid Sleep
The following sleep states are not available on this system:
Standby (S2)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
I also, turned off Hybrid sleep mode
Please start a new post...

A Cure for Foot Slapping
I was recently asked, for the umpteenth time, a question that deserves a good answer.
"When I concentrate on striking mid-foot and keeping my
lower legs very relaxed, it feels and sounds like my feet are slapping the pavement much harder than before. Is this normal, or does my form still need correcting?"
For many first-timers to ChiRunning, learning to run with a midfoot strike is a very new experience. The new way your feet touch the ground, along with a distinctive full-bodied tilt can take a little time to get used to. What happens for some folks who are working on a midfoot strike, is that they notice their feet tend to slap the pavement more then they used to. If this happens to you it's a sign that you're on the right path to getting a midfoot strike, but it's also a sign that there's more work to do in other areas of your stride.
Here's what I mean. Most people are used to swinging their legs forward when they take a stride…whether they're walking or running. What this does is create a heel strike where your heel then becomes a fulcrum and your foot slaps down onto the pavement with each step. Not only is a heel strike unhealthy for your knees, the slapping can bruise the metatarsal heads and make your feet feel like they're on fire.
In the ChiRunning and ChiWalking techniques, the foot strikes under your center of mass in a midfoot strike. This eliminates a heel strike and shortens your support time. The legs are always swinging to the rear, which noticeably reduces the amount of impact to the knees. When many people first try the midfoot strike they tend to focus more on the landing than on what the rest of their body is doing. The way to get rid of the slapping is to work on your pelvic rotation, which is mentioned on pages 179-180 of the ChiRunning book, and also mentioned at the top of page 82. In the ChiWalking book it is explained and illustrated on page 87.
As your foot hits the ground under you, your leg begins its rearward swing. Your leg then extends out behind you and when your foot returns to its original support position, it's underneath you again…not landing out in front of you. As long as your foot never lands in front of your body, the slapping will go away.
Here's the trick. Every time your leg swings out the back, let your hip swing back with it. This will force your hips and pelvis to rotate in the direction your rear leg is swinging, creating a healthy twisting motion along your spine. Your stride will open up behind you, as it should, and you'll experience a new sense of smoothness in your gait because your legs will no longer be swinging forward which causes foot slapping.

So that is why my feet are hurting!
I don't know how know if I am doing the pelvic rotation. You say to let your hip swing back with your leg. How do I know if I am doing that?
I've read the book, and all the articles, and still wonder how can I strike at "mid-foot" when my arch is there and won't be touching the ground? Do you mean that I should strike the rear of the ball of my foot? That seems to be aggravating the ball of my foot. Thanks!
Do you think the NB 800 is a better Chi-running shoe than the NB1306? If you could please tell me the comparison and what you would suggest. I'd appreciate it very much…Thank you…..Ray Rivera
HI Danny,
I took a Chi Running course with Mark Wallis (wonderful instructor!) this past Saturday and tried out the techniques on a short run this morning. Your timing is impeccable as I was just wondering about the loud foot slap sound I was hearing as I was focusing on mid-foot strike. Good to know I'm on the right track, now to focus on those hips… Thanks!
I've been having this issue for the longest time & always knew something wasn't quite correct. I understood the wheel or road runner analogy, but at the same time I was also concentrating on using my core musles to lift my feet up. While focusing on peeling the feet off the ground concept & engaging the core muscles it lead to a habit of just dropping my feet straight down & lifting it right up instead of down & out back.
I've always tried to open up my hips or pelvis to lengthen the stride as I shifted to a higher gear via the lean, but still did hear & feel the slap on the ground. Now I'm much more aware to let my feet just slide back smoothly like the wheel motion! It also helps to have that ideal cadence so that we're not supporting our weight any longer than necessary.
Thank you! I was also noticing a loud 'slap' on the ground and I wondered about that! I had a feeling it was not right and I definitely appreciate the information! I am attending a chi running class, and what you said here makes perfect sense because we were video taped yesterday and it turns out I wasn't leaning properly! (Bending at the waist). Thus, also in accordance with what you're saying, my swing wasn't going behind me and instead I must have been still landing in front. Thanks for clarifying the foot slap!

I am confused. I have been trying to maintain a neutral pelvis, concentrating on abdominals lifting the pubic bone (vision of not spilling a cup of water). However, above recommends letting the hip swing back with the rear leg. Can you deconflict for me?
There's really no conflict as long as you're swinging your entire lower body from T12/L1 as described on page 99 of the newest version of the ChiRunning book. As long as your pelvis is held level it can still rotate and swing along with your rearward swinging leg as long as it is swinging from a point located above. Imagine a chandelier hanging from a single point on the ceiling of a room. The chandelier can remain level while rotating from a pivoting point above it.
Hope this helps,
Thank you, and I appreciate the chandelier visual. I purchased the book not too long ago, I'll have to check out what edition. I tend to read slow and try to take single concepts at a time. Due to Achilles issues for many months, I have added 2 Yoga sessions a week. Also just now trying out PiTaiYo. Both have brought interest in your posts on minimal shoes…
Foot Slapping Theory by Mike Cassidy
I had foot slapping with my right foot for about 6 months.
Now the foot slapping has stopped.
This is a non-medical observation and theory for my particular problem.
I'm sure there are many different causes and solutions of foot slapping.
My foot slapping occurs on flat ground when right heel touches ground first
and the rest of foot slaps onto ground.
The sound of the foot slapping comes from the inability of the tibialis anterior muscle
to control the forefoot, after the heel strikes when walking.
This muscle extends from the front of the tibia (the large bone in the lower leg) down to the foot.
I hike up/down a mountain on a paved trail/road twice several times a week.
It has a constant slope of 600 ft over 1 mile.
While walking down, it is difficult to touch my toes to pavement first wearing my high-top boots.
So I touch heel first and the angle between my shine and foot reaches 170 degrees which over stretches
this muscle.
This weakens the ankles that now are more susceptible to twisting that over extends the muscle even more.
This over extended and weakened muscle can no longer keep the foot from slapping on flat ground.
As the weather cooled in Phoenix, I was able to slowly jog down instead of walking.
With quicker steps and shorter stride, I was then able to contact the pavement
with my toes first without over extending the muscle.
This muscle was restored to its proper length and strength and
the foot slapping stopped on flat ground within a week.
Again, this is my theory for my particular problem and solution.

So my husband has been gone for only 3 weeks and it feels like its been forever!! He made it overseas to Bahrain safely, even though he was suffering from food poisoning the entire 22 hour flight! (Never eat a frozen burger from the airport USO). He is still waiting to start work so is bored to death, but luckily we can chat on Facebook all day and Skype some days....when Skype decides to work. But overall we are missing each other terribly. Thank God he gets to come home when the baby is born, even though it will only be a week or so! He's really sad that he's missing out on the pregnancy , especially now that baby is starting to move. Some days he doesn't even want to hear about it because it just makes him so sad :-(
But I have taken some steps to improve my life since he's left. I enrolled in school this month and I start on January 22nd. I've never gone to college but I want to be able to provide for my child and give it anything it would ever need or want. I just hope the baby doesn't come early, because the semester ends on May 17th and I'm due June 2nd!! I'm so excited that next Wednesday I might get the find out the sex of the baby, so stay tuned because I'll post it up with pics when I know!!
I just want to thank all you ladies for reading my posts and being so nice

Last update: June 20, 2011 at 10:48 am by By 141 Comments
Earthquake / Eruption summary : During the late afternoon and evening of June 12 2011, a series of moderate earthquakes struck the Afambo, Eritrea area. The moderate earthquakes were followed by 2 strong 5.7 earthquakes. Based on the earthquake pattern and the locations of the epicenter, volcano activity seemed imminent. Our very extensive report is also the work of many of our readers who gave a lot of input. This proves that together, we can beat a lot of information services, especially in developing countries. A strong M5.5 earthquake has occurred in a similar position on 17th June 2011, this is expected to also indicate volcanic activity.
Our video reporter / assembler Robert Speta has made a video based on the content of this article for those who do not like to read. Click here to watch it in our "Quake-TV.org" subsite.
UPDATE 20/06 – 09:36 UTC : The University of Wisconsin-Madison / Space and Engineering Center did a great job in mounting several outer space satellite pictures together to show the eruption from outer space. A sequence of EUMETSAT Meteosat-9 7.35 µm "water vapor channel" images (below; click image to play animation) was useful for following the leading edge of the volcanic plume (the volcano summit is circled on the first few images of the animation). Click here for the link to the University website and the original document.
Interesting to follow is how the first ash cloud travelled over the Middle-East on to Russia.
UPDATE 20/06 – 09:01 UTC : Almost no change in activity the preceding hours.
UPDATE 19/06 – 21:36 UTC : According to NASA, the volcano spewed ash and large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas—the highest levels ever detected from space, according to preliminary estimates from researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
Nabro is part of larger double-caldera structure with the Mallahle volcano to the southwest. Both volcanoes were built, like Kilimanjaro, from trachyte lavas, and later filled by eruptions of ignimibrite. Research suggests that both calderas may have formed around the same time. The volcanic range has been "virtually undocumented," according to researchers.
UPDATE 19/06 – 18:30 UTC : The OGA page reveals that some minor Nabro seismic activity started already in May.
UPDATE 19/06 – 18:25 UTC : We encourage our readers who are in search of the most detailed seismic information accompanying this eruption to visit the in-depth page of the Arta Geophysical Observatory (OGA) inDjibouti, a neighboring country.
Click here to view this very interesting webpage.
UPDATE 19/06 – 18:20 UTC : The pictures below have been registered by the NASA Modis Aqua satellite on June 19. The ash zone extends more than 60 km into Ethiopia.
UPDATE 19/06 – 10:01 UTC : As we can see on the picture below, the eruption area covers a part of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Earthquake-Reports.com hopes that both nations are setting aside their political struggles for at least a couple of weeks and will allow scientists from all over the world to examine the greater Nabro volcano area.
It would be "not to understand" if both governments are continuing to block scientists from visiting the area.
UPDATE 19/06 – 09:58 UTC : The red area was was earlier indicated on the NASA Modis Aqua satellite image2011/168 recorded on 06/17 at 10 :20 UTC and projected on the Google Earth Map. The distance in between the 2 most extended points is approx. 20 km. The yellow line is the border line in between Eritrea and Ethiopia. Although the crater is located in Eritrea, the actual eruption area also covers part of Ethiopia.
It is hard to tell at the moment that the area was mainly covered by lava flows are are partly ash deposits. The present satellite pictures are not detailed enough to be sure. We will have to wait for satellite spot images who can give us the detail of the surface.
UPDATE 19/06 – 07:57 UTC : Overview of the seismic activity near the Nabro caldera on Saturday and Sunday :
2011-06-19 05:47:16 4.0 Eritrea
2011-06-19 05:32:37 4.0 Eritrea
2011-06-19 02:33:12 3.2 Eritrea
2011-06-18 04:37:52 4.1 Eritrea
2011-06-18 03:32:18 3.0 Eritrea
2011-06-18 02:51:40 3.1 Eritrea
2011-06-18 02:47:21 3.8 Eritrea
2011-06-18 00:03:39 3.3 Eritrea
The magnitude of the surrounding earthquakes is decreasing slightly
UPDATE 19/06 – 07:30 UTC : Until last weekend, the Nabro volcano in northeast Africa looked like it does in the image below. Then, on the night of June 12, 2011, the stratovolcano erupted for the first time in recorded history.
Astronauts on the International Space Station snapped this digital photograph of Nabro in January 2011, when all was still quiet.
(text and picture courtesy NASA Earth Observatory)
UPDATE 18/06 – 13:25 UTC : The picture below is the activity as recorded this morning at 08:00 AM UTC. As you can see there is still some activity going on.
UPDATE 18/06 – 10:52 UTC : A few moments ago we received this message which we found to be trusted (for many reasons) : Im a Meteorologist in the area of this volcano and i am monitoring it on satellite and it has erupted again and is tracking south on the imagery i have.
UPDATE 18/06 – 10:34 UTC : The lava field which was the result of this Nabro eruption is 20 km wide and about 10 km downwards.
UPDATE 18/06 – 09:57 UTC : Further to the seismic activity around the Nabro volcano, we can report that yesterday 8 worthwhile mentioning earthquakes occurred and as far as today we have noted 4 earthquakes.
No visual activity on weather satellites today.
UPDATE 17/06 – 15:36 UTC : Reader David Somsencomments : I wanted to let everyone know that Ethiopian Airlines has confirmed to me (on numerous occasions, because I still don't believe it) that tomorrow's flights in northern Ethiopia are still canceled.
Day 5 of being stuck in Gondar. Woohoo!
UPDATE 17/06 – 14:40 UTC : Following the Djibouti seismological service (OGA), at least 4 M+4 earthquakes have occurred today in the Nabro volcano area.
2011-06-17 12:55:48 4.0 Eritrea
2011-06-17 11:32:20 4.5 Eritrea
2011-06-17 10:05:16 4.3 Eritrea
2011-06-17 09:16:09 5.8 Eritrea
UPDATE 17/06 – 13:24 UTC : We have NO longer weather satellite visible Nabro activity. Both the visual as the infrared satellite weather images are smoke free. VAAC latest bulletin was at 06:00 UTC. The map is FREE of air traffic hindering ash clouds. Unless new elements are occurring, NO new bulletins will be published.
We have checked the satellite images at regular intervals and we could NOT detect any new increased activity after the new earthquake.

UPDATE 17/06 – 13:08 UTC : Details of the recent earthquake in the immediate vicinity of Nabro volcano :
M 5.5 2011/06/17 09:16 Depth 10.0 km ERITREA – ETHIOPIA REGION
12:16:12 PM at epicenter
A volcanic activity triggered strong and dangerous earthquake near Nabro Volcano, on the border between Eritrea and Ethiopia.

UPDATE 17/06 – 10:03 UTC : WAPMERR is expecting casualties in Waddi from this earthquake, with between 0-100 deaths and 30-300 injured.
However, earthquake-report.com and CATDAT expect that there will be little loss of life given the activity in the area in the last 5 days.
UPDATE 17/06 – 09:47 UTC : A strong M5.5 earthquake has occurred in a similar position on 17th June 2011, this is expected to also indicate volcanic activity from Nabro again. We will wait for confirmation.
From USGS: 5.5Mw, 09:16:12 UTC, 12:16:12PM Local
Epicentral Location: 13.307°N, 41.668° with a hypocentral depth of 10km.
UPDATE 16/06 – 18:30 UTC : Ministry of Information of Eritrea press release:
Assab, June 16, 2011- The inhabitants of Afambo, Nebro and Sireru have disclosed that they have been moved to a safer location. Pointing out that there were occasional quakes in their areas, the inhabitants thanked the government for the fast relocation after the eruption, as a result of which there were no casualities.
It is to be recalled that the eruption of June 12th around the areas of Afambo, Nebro and Sireru released large quantities of dust and smoke and the quake of 5.7 Richter it caused was felt in our region.
UPDATE 16/06 – 18:13 UTC : Impressive picture of the eruption of the Nabro volcano in high-resolution, natural-color as recorded by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) aboard the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite on June 14, 2011. We also give you here the full text of the NASA Earth Observatory :
This high-resolution, natural-color satellite image shows details of the roiling plume of Eritrea's Nabro Volcano. The thick plume obscures the site of the eruption, and most of Nabro's 8-kilometer (5-mile) wide caldera. The bright white color of the plume indicates it contains a large amount of water vapor, with a slight blue tinge that hints at the presence of sulfur dioxide. Measurements from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) aboard the European Space Agency's MetOp-A satellite confirm sulfur dioxide from the plume over Northeast Africa and the Middle East.

UPDATE 16/06 – 17:35 UTC : OUT OF SERVICE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS We are sorry that some of you got empty pages for a couple of hours. Due to a server issue we could not reach you any more . It is fixed now and hopefully everything remains as it was before.
We know that this page becomes very long, but the main reason for keeping it this way, is that there is a relation in between many updates and images. The page is loading relatively quick here. If you should have problems with it, please let us know.
UPDATE 16/06 – 13:56 UTC : Press release from : Nevsun Resources Ltd. is pleased to report that the earthquakes and associated volcanic eruption in Eritrea have had no impact on operations at the Bisha mine and management does not expect any future material impact to operations. The volcano is over 300 km south and east from the Bisha site. There is no direct impact from the eruption or associated earthquakes on operations. The ash plume may periodically affect international air service to Asmara however this will not interrupt operations. (ER: Nevsun Resources is low cost gold producer active in its Bisha Mine in Eritrea)
UPDATE 16/06 – 13:40 UTC : The Djibouti based "Observatoire Géophysique Arta" has published far higher Magnitude values than earlier reported by EMSC. The Magnitudes they have listed were : 3.9, 4.4 and 4.5. As their Seismograph stations are very close to the Nabro volcano, we do consider these values as "to be trusted"
UPDATE 16/06 – 13:13 UTC : The picture of the ash cloud proves that the cloud is far more extending to the North West than this morning. The front of the present cloud has almost reached Khartoum in Sudan. Compare this picture with a similar picture we published at 08:35 this morning.
Interesting to know is also that the present cloud only contains ash close to the volcano. The extended plume contains mainly SO2 and Ice.

UPDATE 16/06 – 10:59 UTC : Below a brand new MODIS image from the Nabro volcano jst released by NASA.
UPDATE 16/06 – 10:55 UTC : A number of 3 new Magnitude 3 earthquakes did sett off a new stronger eruption from the Nabro volcano. The first of the 3 shocks occurred at 01:30 AM UTC (Thanks to Dr Franzky for mentioning)
UPDATE 16/06 – 08:35 UTC : Most airlines have stopped serving some East Africa destinations. The following airlines have reported to cancel a number of their East African flights today :
Ethiopian Airlines
Turkish Airlines
Fly Dubai
Kenya Airways
UPDATE 16/06 – 07:41 UTC : The activity of the volcano picked up again. The Sat24 infrared animated satellite series is showing a far lengthier ash plume than yesterday. VAAC (Volcano ash advisory) has also increased the area which is contaminated with the ash cloud. Click here to see the ash maps (06:00 UTC bulletin).
UPDATE 15/06 – 23:31 UTC : Another compilation of the NASA MODUS HD satellite image as a layer on Google earth (with thanks to Martin Rey for the tips – see his instructions below to do it yourself)
UPDATE 15/06 – 22:35 UTC : VAAC Ash advisory bulletin at 18:00 UTC
UPDATE 15/06 – 21:31 UTC : Below the MODIS – - NASA picture as distributed taken on June 13, 1 day after the explosion – By using the highest definition, we were able to show the violent action much better than in most other sites . The picture is indeed a high resolution picture, but as said in the update below, satellite photography can show us much better details from the caldera. The present state of the eruption is a lot less intensive and might come up with more details.
UPDATE 15/06 – 20:28 UTC : When will the HD-satellite images be released from the current eruption ? Why are we making this remark ? We are almost sure that the satellite companies like NASA and EUMETSAT, to name a few, will be able to show us visual and infrared HD-pictures from the crater area. The Cnes SpotImages from Google earth are revealing almost every detail of the crater. If an identical image from the current state of the volcano would be published, it would certainly reveal what really happened. Unfortunately we have no other means of information at the moment. The MODIS picture showing the ash plume on June 13 was of a far too inferior quality.
If such HD-images do exist, can they please be published in the open Internet. If they do not exist, we hope that the satellite companies will do their best to make them soon, as they will be invaluable for science. Earthquake-report and their thousands of users will be very grateful to them.
UPDATE 15/06 – 16:14 UTC : This is the statement of Ethiopian Airlines earlier today :
The volcanic ash cloud in the Northern part of Ethiopia is clearing. Therefore, Ethiopian flights to Djibouti will resume today June 15, 2011. Flights to Khartoum and some destinations to the Northern part of Ethiopia are still suspended. We request all our passengers to call their nearest Ethiopian offices to coordinate their travel plans using the following contact addresses.
UPDATE 15/06 – 14:21 UTC : The composition of the volcano cloud is containing a lot less ash than in the early hours.
UPDATE 15/06 – 14:11 UTC : Press reports out of Djibouti are confirming our earlier information that the air space above Djibouti was closed on Tuesday. The smoke consists of fine particles of ash. The cloud has forced officials of Ethiopian Airlines to cancel flights to Djibouti, to the north of Ethiopia and to Khartoum, the Sudanese capital on Tuesday.
UPDATE 15/06 – 13:57 UTC : On the animated satellite picture one can see a faint ash cloud blowing to the west. Reading the new VAAC bulletin at 12:00 UTC, we can see that the lower cloud (20,000 feet) will perturb probably all air-traffic to Djibouti.
Latest Ash Advisory bulletin (12 AM UTC) - Recent animated satellite picture
UPDATE 15/06 – 08:28 UTC : We have changed the title into "still NO news from the Nabro area after more than 2 days!" to express our sadness that after more than 2 days nobody in the world can give us a precise picture on what exactly happened at the moment of the explosion / eruption. The bulletin from the Eritrean government only stating some generalities is far from satisfying. We do experience here an eruption of a historic volcano, which should be world news, but we can only assume that the location of the volcano is one of the reasons.
UPDATE 15/06 – 07:15 UTC : As we have still NO information from the ground, we continue to work with the satellite weather images and with the Ash advisory bulletins. Based on both, we see a strong decrease in activity.
Latest Ash Advisory bulletin ( 15/06 – 6 AM) - Recent animated satellite picture
UPDATE 15/06 – 07:10 UTC : Dawid Wolde reports from Djibouti : Stuck in Djibouti with all flights out of Djibouti canceled, we decided to drive to Lac Assal, a salt lake about 125 kms north of Djibouti city and considered to be the lowest point in Africa at 153 meters below sea level. We saw the ash cloud, the sun was completely blocked and we could not see the sea because of the ash.
UPDATE 14/06 – 21:11 UTC : Updated Ash advisory update from VAAC Toulouse at 18:00 UTC. Click here to see the latest Ash Advisory bulletin. Ash cloud near the volcano has decreased to 20,000 feet (6,096 m)
UPDATE 14/06 – 19:50 UTC : Ethiopian Air Lines has canceled today flights to Khartoum, Djibouti and Northern Ethiopia. the Exc. Director told the media that the ash cloud is approaching Addis Ababa in low altitude. The airline is forced to change route directions to Europe and Asia (report from Beni Yebi from Nazareth, Ethiopia).
UPDATE 14/06 – 19:43 UTC : The Eumetsat weather satellite RGB short movie sequence of the eruption on June 13 (thanks to Witold). Video copyright 2011 EUMETSAT
UPDATE 14/06 – 16:11 UTC : A reader from Gondar Ethiopia wrote the following comment a few moments ago. We like his remark at the end :
Stranded in Gondar today…one of those domestic flights that got canceled. Thanks for all the updates. This website is amazing, and I couldn't agree more about the terrible coverage on this eruption. The lack of news is really an undertone of how much the giant media conglomerates care about anything truly news-worthy. I do, however, know what Paris Hilton had for lunch yesterday, so there's that…
UPDATE 14/06 – 15:44 UTC : May we kindly ask some cooperation from the scientific community here. Sharing the information they have collected in the open Internet would serve everybody in the world. There is a lot more to say about this eruption and similar eruptions in the area. Which volcanologists or geologists have reasonable resolution pictures from the Nabro volcano they want to share with the open Internet.
UPDATE 14/06 – 15:34 UTC : Almost 2 days after the explosion of the volcano, we are still without any in-depth news and/or pictures from the eruption of the Nabro volcano. Maybe Mrs Clinton has seen the eruption from the air and could send us some pictures. The eruption did increase a little bit like reported by reader Guigui (see comments). Click here to see the current infrared image.
UPDATE 14/06 – 15:24 UTC : Updated Ash advisory update from VAAC Toulouse at 12:00 UTC. Click here to see the latest Ash Advisory bulletin.
UPDATE 14/06 – 12:03 UTC : Based on the data from VAAC (Volcanic Ash advisory) we can clearly see that theeruption in winding down. There is some remaining activity as ash clouds are still blown in the atmosphere until an altitude of 20,000 feet (6,096 m). Compared to the pictures below the ash plume is much more dispersed and shorter in length. Click here for the Sat24.com dynamic infrared picture
UPDATE 14/06 – 12:01 UTC : New Ash advisory update from VAAC Toulouse at 10:00 UTC. Click here to see the latest Ash Advisory bulletin.
UPDATE 14/06 – 08:03 UTC : New Ash advisory update from VAAC Toulouse. Click here or on the picture below. We can only tell that the ash cloud is extending over the Middle East, later today and tomorrow even in Eurasia. The eruption is following this update still going on at full force (cloud altitude). This update was generated 2 hours ago.
UPDATE 14/06 – 08:00 UTC : Robert Speta made another overview video, telling most of the story below in 5 minutes
UPDATE 13/06 – 20:07 UTC : Another report from the conditions in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea : Spoke to my uncle in Asmara right now. He says that the capital is fine and that there are people in Asmara who dont even know that there was an eruption. The eruption is in Assab and due to the wind, the ash is impacting Ethiopia moreso, apparently, which would explain why Clinton is cutting her trip to Addis short. It is almost 8p so i will call again tomorrow and update everyone once people are awake and more information has been gathered.
UPDATE 13/06 – 19:20 UTC : We got the following report out of Logia, Afar, Ethiopia : I'm an exploration geologist currently based in a camp near Logia, in the Afar desert in Ethiopia. We are approximately 200 km south-southwest of the volcano. We've been sat in the ash cloud since yesterday evening. See also his picture of the ash graying the sky and the horizon
UPDATE 13/06 – 18:47 UTC : Finally we got some news from the Eritrean government. We are printing their press release in full (Ministry of Information) :
Volcanic Eruption Witnessed In The Tip Of Southern Red Sea Region
Assab, 13 June 2011 -A volcanic eruption was witnessed in the tip of the Southern Red Sea region at 9 p.m. yesterday.
Reports indicated that the eruption that took place in 4 different areas around Afambo, Nebro and Sireru causing a 5.7 rector scale earth tremor.
The ensuing dust is covering hundreds of kilometers in the area, and that the quake has been heard in the greater portion of the region as a whole, according to reports.
The Southern regional Administration disclosed that the Government has moved the inhabitants in the area to a safe place, in addition to providing them with the necessary care. No damage has so far been inflicted to human life , the Administration added.
Although similar earthquake incidents were witnessed from time to time in previous years, yesterday's tremor was of higher scale that led to volcanic eruption.
UPDATE 13/06 – 18:44 UTC : Eruption pattern became totally different. The eruption is still going on, but seems to decrease forcefully. The ash plume has a decreased considerably in length. Quite strange is also the current patchwork (ash clouds are not continuous anymore). Click here to see the live animated infrared video.
UPDATE 13/06 – 18:20 UTC : Eskinder Nega reports from the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa : No ash in the air in Addis,though it was cloudy today.But this is also the beginning of the rainy season,clouds are not unusual. Hillary Clinton was forced to cut short a two days visit because of concerns of spreading ash.
She arrived early afternoon and was gone by early evening, according to the media reports.
IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC UPDATE ON NABRO VOLCANO (source : The Volcanism Blog)
Nabro is a stratovolcano reaching to 2,218 metres a.s.l., truncated by nested calderas of 5 km and 8 km diameter, the latter caldera having a wide breach to the SW.
Although Nabro has no recorded Holocene eruptive activity, the GVP (from which this description comes) notes that ' Some very recent lava flows were erupted from NNW-trending fissures transverse to the trend of the Nabro volcanic range', so if the current activity is from the Nabro complex it does not necessarily represent the surprise re-awakening of the volcano after millennia of dormancy.
Wiart and Oppenheimer (2005) identify these 'recent basaltic flows' as originating from 'Vents … located between Nabro and Mallahle calderas, and fed in part from fissures aligned perpendicularly to the NVR [Nabro Volcanic Complex] axis' (p. 104), although, working with strictly limited data, they do not venture a date for these flows. Satellite imagery shows these flows as weathered, but fresher and distinctly darker than surrounding material.
UPDATE 13/06 – 16:34 UTC : The ash cloud would probably travel to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel
UPDATE 13/06 – 16:30 UTC : The Lufthansa flights to Ethiopia have been canceled because of the ash concentration in the atmosphere.
UPDATE 13/06 – 16:16 UTC : Ash from ongoing eruption at Nabra volcano in Eritrea is likely to reach southern border only; may cause more problems to Egypt, Jordan. (source : Jerusalem Post).
UPDATE 13/06 – 15:52 UTC : Reader Avo reports from Mekele (Northern Ethiopia and approx. 200 km from the volcano) : I am a Frenchman living in Mekele, Northern Ethiopia, East from the volcano. I found this site whiletrying to know where the ashes where coming from.
Waking up this morning, everything was covered by a 1mm, sometimes 2mm layer of black ashes. The sky was cloudy today, but abnormally greyish. Ashes where still in the air till noon, as I got some in my eyes a few times.
UPDATE 13/06 – 14:08 UTC : New " 12:00 UTC Ash advisory bulletin" for Air Traffic. Click here or on the picture below. The plume is gradually extending but for the real risk also ash concentration should be looked at.
UPDATE 13/06 – 13:28 UTC : Tim reports from Asmara, Eritrea:
Confirmed that there is indeed some volcanic ash in the air in Asmara, Eritrea.
Tonights Lufthansa flight has been canceled
The Department of mines is monitoring the event closely.
UPDATE 13/06 – 12:05 UTC : NASA satellite images in combination with Google Earth have given the final clue in the discussion which volcano was erupting. It is NABRO volcano, a volcano that has NO sign of being erupted in recent history. This will be a major scientific research eruption. We are still awaiting further news from Eritrea, butthis news is making us happy, as Afambo will be far enough away from the volcano to not have received a direct impact.
UPDATE 13/06 – 12:1705 UTC : Intermediate overview of the current situation (by Pieter De Leeuw):
The estimated height of the ash cloud is ~13.5km, according to the VAAC. This is an essential piece of information in predicting the current size of the eruption, as the height of the ash cloud often reflects the force behind the eruption. In this case, it would so far be an average-to-large eruption. For comparison; the ashcloud from the Eyjafjallajokull only came up to 9km in April 2010, the more recent Grimsvotn eruption in Iceland forced ash up to 20km in the air, and the 1981 Mt. St Helens eruption's ashcloud reached 25km into the atmosphere.
There however is some uncertainty with this way of estimating the size of an eruption. The height of the ash-cloud is influenced by many factors, such as prevailing wind, eruption style and eruption angle. In this case strong winds seem to prevail (the plume traveled over 250km in 2 hours after the onset of the eruption). The eruption style seems to be a 'gray' eruption (with much ash, little lava) instead of a red eruption (much lava, little ash). The eruption angle is however not possible to determine. Most eruptions occur horizontally, but exceptions do occur, as happened with Mt. St. Helens. A landslide triggered a so called 'lateral' eruption. This is a possible scenario, as the earthquakes (up to M5.7) were strong enough to possibly have created landslide.
Also, when estimating an eruption size based on the magnitude of the preceding earthquakes, one should take into account that this volcano (Nabro volcano ER) possibly has been dormant for hundreds to thousands of years.
This could mean that the overlaying ground was not ductile for magma movements, and therefor a massive force was needed to force it's way up to the surface.
These are all plain speculations based on the information we currently have, and by no means an official report.
UPDATE 13/06 – 12:05 UTC : The eruption is continuing at full strength based on the infrared weather satellite images from Sat24 at 12:00 UTC. Click here to watch the latest animated version.
UPDATE 13/06 – 11:13 UTC : Ethiopian media has warned citizens to protect themselves from the ash and smoke coming from the volcanic eruption.
UPDATE 13/06 – 11:09 UTC : As more and more journals are picking up the story, the guessing in between both Nabro and Dubbi goes on merely because everybody has still to rely on the satellite images. Those sources who have HD satellite images are putting their money on the Nabro, which would be a MAJOR EVENT for science, as this volcano has NO record of any historic eruptions so far. We @ earthquake-report.com do not guess anymore. We are simply awaiting news from the Asmara authorities.
UPDATE 13/06 – 10:47 UTC : A reader report out of Asmara, Eritrea (Ip number reflects Kenya intersat, probably the connecting carrier for Eritrea):
I live in the capital of Eritrea, Asmara, and I did not feel the earthquake, but the plume from the volcano is covering the whole of Asmara since the morning, but now it is clearing somewhat. I just heard that the flight Asmara-Jeddah-Frankfurt which was supposed to depart tonight, has been canceled. (We can not confirm the flight cancellation news but it looks normal to us).
UPDATE 13/06 – 10:37 UTC : The report below is bad news for the people living in the immediate surrounding of the volcano. Normal eruption behavior in the rift volcanoes is a lot of flowing lava, even lava lakes. The big cloud which can be seen at the bottom of this page leads to the prediction that a huge explosion did set off the eruption. It is embarrassing that 12 hours after it happened still NOBODY can give detailed information of this eruption. Additionally if the volcano is Dubbi volcano, then we do fear for the wellbeing of Afambo as this village (town ?) is very near the crater.
UPDATE 13/06 – 10:30 UTC : Loud explosions were heard in Afdera (Afdera is approx. 30 km from the volcanoes), across the border in Ethiopia, and ashfall is reported as far as Mekele in Tigray province (Mekele is approx. 200 km from the volcanoes). $$$
UPDATE 13/06 – 10:24 UTC : The international press is waking up as the ash cloud threatens airline traffic. No additional info however out of Eritrea and this will be the only source that counts. Apart from Eritrea the satellite companies (NASA, etc) have certainly HD images enabling them to locate the exact crater. For now, we still use the term "undecided".
UPDATE 13/06 – 09:54 UTC : What a crazy situation! In trying to find more information in Eritrea on the ongoing eruption but even more on the extend of damage in and around Afambo, we could find only ….. yes, our own article! I hope that Eritrean news sources will try to get information out of Afambo soon. Why ? Is international help needed if damaged ? It takes many hours, even days before aid is organized and every hour lost is important in such cases.
UPDATE 13/06 – 09:29 UTC : Reader John Tucker did send us the following report (based on an Israeli source) :a Hebrew journal is reporting it as Nabro – I rab it through google translate: A cloud of volcanic ash from the volcano Anabro (Nabro), on the border of Ethiopia – Eritrea, makes his way to the north – west. Satellite photographs show that the last few hours the cloud is now over Sudan, in the Red Sea. According to certain forecasts, in a few days volcanic ash could reach Israel, located about 1,700 km from the volcano. In this case, there may be cancellation of flights from Israel Strip. [ http://www.masa.co.il/ ] click on the volcano photo
UPDATE 13/06 – 09:10 UTC : Thanks to our readers we have received the url of the Ash cloud advisory above Africa. Click this link or the picture. It links to the latest report of 06:00 AM UTC. A new report will be released in approx. 3 hours.
UPDATE 13/06 – 08:50 UTC : Why is almost NOBODY in the world reporting on this extraordinary event ??
UPDATE 13/06 – 08:46 UTC : We expect that some airlines will have to divert from their normal routes as the ash plume is extending further and further. Especially flights from Europe to East Africa are flying that route (at least i did last year).
Is the ash concentration in the clouds monitored above Africa ?
UPDATE 13/06 – 07:23 UTC : We are still guessing on which volcano erupted. Opinions change from Dubbi to Nabro. The satellite images are not convincing. The local press has not even mentioned this volcano eruption(at least not the ones we are following)
UPDATE 13/06 – 06:55 UTC : The initial explosion (see pictures below) creating a vast ash cloud has now gone into a normal eruption plume.
UPDATE 13/06 – 06:27 UTC : We truly thank our thousands of readers who have also contributed a lot to this report by giving tips of satellite images, etc. while we were resting for a couple of hours.
UPDATE 13/06 – 06:27 UTC : Volcano ash cloud is stretching now over more than 1,000 km (westerly direction) and has reached Sudan.
UPDATE 13/06 – 00:47 UTC : From now on we will have to wait for local reports, pictures, video's etc.
We are very eager to get a confirmation that nobody was hurt and that no damage was inflicted during the earthquake and/or eruption.
Many scientists will board airplanes to take a close look at the volcano, take samples, etc.
UPDATE 13/06 – 00:15 UTC : This is a very recent Google earth picture (combined with satellite cloud image). The size of the cloud is 150 km on 50 km! (91 on 35 miles).
UPDATE 23:46 UTC : We are now convinced that the erupting volcano is the Nabro volcano (an official confirmation is still missing)
UPDATE 23:16 UTC : As long as we have no confirmation of local authorities we have to guess on the name of the erupting volcano. Dubbi volcano is one scenario as his activity could be traced to 1861. Based on the coordinates of the beginning of the eruption as well as the location of a number of the more powerful earthquakes, Pieter De Leeuw (Netherlands) has traced the eruption as probably coming from the Nabro volcano, a crater with a diameter of 8 km. We agree with him. Nabro volcano has no records of recent eruptions.
UPDATE 23:10 UTC : According to Global Volcanism Program, both Nabro and Dubbi belong to the Bidu volcanic complex
UPDATE 22:59 UTC : Earthquake-report.com wants to know as fast as possible the situation in Afambo. The continuous earthquakes may have been damaging. Depending the activity of the nearby Dubbi volcano, people in very nearby Afambo are at risk. We hope to receive OK signals soon, but as said earlier on, communications with this part of Eritrea will be very basic and it can take a while before the news reaches the outside world (if not cut off by the ongoing events).
UPDATE 22:45 UTC : This will be a very special volcano eruption because we expect that the eruption comes from the Dubbi volcano who had it's latest recorded activity in 1861.
UPDATE 22:35 UTC : The satellite picture below clearly indicates that an eruption is going on in the area. Look at the upper right quarter.
Click here for the animated cloud cover in Ethiopia / Eritrea
We do appreciate the person from the Netherlands and a few other people who wrote us about the satellite pictures. Satellite pictures courtesy http://www.sat24.com.
UPDATE 22:02 UTC : @ earthquake-report.com we expect that it will take at least 12 hours before we can get a more precise picture of what happened. We will keep you updated just as we do with all other earthquakse and volcanic events that we are following up.
UPDATE 21:45 UTC : The earthquake intensity of the 5.7 magnitude earthquake (latest one) caused 451 people to feel a strong shaking and 17,000 people a moderate shaking (theoretical values)
UPDATE 21:44 UTC : As reported below, the last known eruption of one the volcanoes dates back to 1861(Dubbi volcano) and killed 106 people
UPDATE 21:36 UTC : Some more information on the volcanic complex :
Mallahle is the central of three NE-SW-trending stratovolcanoes in the Danakil horst SW of Dubbi volcano, and lies SSW of Nabro volcano.
These two volcanoes, along with Bara Ale and Sork'Ale, form the Bidu volcanic complex. The complex Mallahle stratovolcano is truncated by a steep-walled 6-km-wide caldera. Mallahle is formed of rhyolitic lava flows and pyroclastics. Basaltic lava flows blanket the slopes of the
volcano. Recent obsidian flows are found on the NW flank of Mallahle and older obsidian flows were erupted on the northern caldera floor.
Flank spatter and scoria cones are most numerous on the western side of the volcano. Extensive ignimbrite deposits associated with the collapse of Mallahle and Nabro volcanoes blanket the countryside.
UPDATE 21:28 UTC : The 5.7 magnitudes can lead to serious damage if the epicenter is below or very near to Afambo (which seems to be nearby (based on the seismological data)) . We do not think that there will be injured people as the series started with moderate earthquakes and as people will stay on the streets after so many earthquakes. The current situation tends to become very dangerous.
UPDATE 21:23 UTC : A new Mw5.7 at a depth of 9km has been recorded in the same area. No record of damage so far.
UPDATE 21:03 UTC : Lucas Tavares reports in our Facebook page : I was studying about this volcanoes past hours. Maybe the shakes surrounds the Mallahle or Nabro Caldera, there isn't any known eruptions of these volcanoes! Shakes are becoming stronger!
UPDATE 20:58 UTC : We have still no trace (as expected) of what is really going on. This last 5.4 earthquake can be damaging at the given shallow depth and when the epicenter is located below a village or town. As we are unsure of the exact epicenter (the error margin may be 10 to 30 km different than reported by the USGS) we have no certainty as yet.
UPDATE 20:56 UTC : The earthquakes are continuing with the last one as the strongest so far ( magnitude of 5.4 at a depth of 10 km).
UPDATE 20:33 UTC : We are more and more convinced that one of the nearby volcanoes went into an active state as the distance to the ridge fault is too big to create these kind of earthquakes. Additionally almost all the earthquakes are occurring near the volcano complex on the picture (courtesy Google Earth)
UPDATE 19:37 UTC : This unusual series of moderate earthquakes have also occurred a couple of months ago in the Gulf of Aden. The earthquakes are typical for separating irregular tectonic plates. The series in the Gulf of Aden had their epicenter in the immediate area of the ridge fault.
Due to the close-by volcanoes, an eruption pattern of the Dubbi volcano is still possible. The pre-eruption pattern of both the Icelandic and Chilean volcanoes from the last few weeks is also present here. Compared to Iceland and Chile, Eritrea has other concerns than looking to beautiful eruptions. We will follow up these events and will come back to you as soon as we can get more data ?
UPDATE 16:11 UTC : Other agencies are reporting totally different and less dangerous numbers : GFZ: 4.9 @ 43 km and EMSC 4.7 @ 200 km
Moderate shallow earthquake with an epicenter almost below Afambo.
Approx. 15 km from the Dubbi volcano. The peak of the Dubbi volcano is 1625 m. There have been four known eruptions. In 1400 lava was determined to have reached the Red Sea while in 1861 ash was thrown over 250 km from the volcano. Two further events were suspected between 1861 and the 20th century.
During the late afternoon and evening of June 12 2011, a series of moderate earthquake struck at first near Afambo in Eritrea and later 100 km more to the south in Ethiopia. At the moment of writing, we do not know whether these earthquake have a tectonic or a volcanic origin.

Insurer Prudential is knocked by investors' M&G exit
Insurer Prudential revealed a £3.9bn hit to its asset management arm as retail investors were scared away by volatile global markets.
The firm said retail investors pulled the funds out of its M&G business during the third quarter after China's economic slowdown fears sent markets reeling.
It also cautioned it expects "high levels of volatility and macroeconomic uncertainties" to continue into the fourth quarter.
Shares fell 3% as the outflows overshadowed figures showing new business profit across the group lifted 13% to £1.8bn in the first nine months of the year, driven by a 24% jump in Asian new business profit to £976m.
In the UK, new business profit rose 16% to £231m in the first nine months, lifted by demand for flexible retirement products. Chancellor George Osborne has changed the rules so that it is no longer compulsory for retirees to buy an annuity for their pensions, which provides an income for life. The insurer said: "These results reflect our successful response to the new emerging consumer landscape."
