Are Cosmic Rays a Key to Forecasting Volcanic Eruptions?
A mixture of relativistic particles and synthetic intelligence might present a brand new technique to forecast when a volcano might erupt.
By Mara Johnson-Groh 23 hours in the past
Forecasting volcanic eruptions is notoriously difficult, however a workforce of Japanese scientists might have discovered a brand new technique utilizing relativistic particles from area.
A brand new pilot research, performed on a extremely energetic Japanese volcano, used a kind of high-energy particle referred to as a muon to map the inside construction of the volcano. When analyzed with machine studying algorithms, these maps might assist diagnose when a volcano is about to blow. So far, the feasibility of the tactic has been examined on just one volcano, nevertheless it might finally be extra extensively utilized because the method is additional refined.
Eruption forecasting usually depends on volcanic fuel emissions, floor adjustments, or seismography—which measures trembles within the floor which are usually a precursor to eruptions. The brand new technique as an alternative took a visible strategy and constructed on the imaging method often called muography. First developed within the 1970s to map secret chambers in Egyptian pyramids, muography makes use of cosmic rays—high-energy particles originating on the Solar and throughout the galaxy—to map large objects, just like an outsized X-ray machine.

Though this pilot research was performed on just one volcano, it has the potential to be prolonged to different volcanoes sooner or later, although there are potential roadblocks. Deep studying works just for massive information units, which don’t but exist for a lot of volcanoes. And buying ample information requires numerous eruptions, a limiting issue for volcanoes that aren’t as energetic as Sakurajima.

Fairly cool schist! Though this bit is humorous:
[A]cquiring ample information requires numerous eruptions, a limiting issue for volcanoes that aren’t as energetic as Sakurajima.
Cosmic rays can solely be used to foretell eruptions of volcanoes that erupt often.
Now, on to some very uncool schist… [Insert hairpin-turn segue]

Dallas County Commissioners Lengthen ‘Safer at Residence’ Order to Could 15
Crowds gathered outdoors as Dallas County Commissioners labored by means of powerful conversations relating to stay-at-home orders and relieving small enterprise
By Alanna Quillen • Revealed April 21, 2020
Dallas County Commissioners Tuesday voted Three-2 to increase the county’s Safer at Residence order till Could 15, maintaining restrictions in place about which companies might function and the way massive public gatherings could also be whereas advising folks to remain at house until they’re conducting “important enterprise.”
The county reserves the choice to increase the order relying on how instances and testing develops within the county within the coming weeks. The county’s catastrophe declaration, a separate doc, is in impact till Could 20.
Throughout the assembly a dozens of demonstrators staged a protest outdoors the County Administration Constructing at Dealey Plaza. Critics of the stay-at-home order complained in regards to the lack of jobs and revenue. A number of nurses, who mentioned they have been there to assist public well being, confronted off with the demonstrators.
Dallas County Well being and Human Companies Director Dr. Philip Huang beneficial that the courtroom prolong the Safer at Residence order till Could 31. Specialists suggested that instances ought to development downward for at the least two weeks earlier than the neighborhood begins to return to regular. The selection of Could 15th was a compromise.
Commissioners John Wiley Worth and J.J. Koch have been the no votes. They wished a greater schedule for reopening extra non-essential companies and restoring extra jobs.
“I’m speaking about folks and survival and in order that’s the distinction,” Worth mentioned. “Give them a chance to outlive.”

That is value repeating:
“I’m speaking about folks and survival and in order that’s the distinction,” Worth mentioned. “Give them a chance to outlive.”
Dallas County Commissioner, Precinct Three John Wiley Worth (D)
Really unusual instances… I’ve been in virtually complete settlement with Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Worth over the previous month… And I by no means agreed with him on something over the previous 35 years.
The votes to proceed the hostage disaster into at the least mid-Could have been:
County Choose Clay Jenkins, AKA Fireplace Marshal Gump (D)Commissioner, Precinct 1 Theresa Daniel (D)Commissioner, Precinct four Elba Garcia (D)
All left-wing Democrats.
Gump and Dallas County Well being and Human Companies Director Dr. Philip Huang have been amongst many authorities officers counting on the wildly inaccurate COVID Act Now fashions as justification for strangling our financial system.
Dallas County Choose Clay (Fireplace Marshal Gump) Jenkins babbling incoherently.
Keep in mind, the aim of the COVID Act Now fashions is to perpetually hold the financial system shut down:
This mannequin updates each Three days and is supposed to assist make quick selections, not predict the longer term.
Covid Act Now
When Gump cited the mannequin within the picture above (March 23), Texas hospitals have been on the verge of being overwhelmed with ChiCom-19 sufferers, if we didn’t self-immolate our financial system. The mannequin has Texas at round 2,300 hospitalizations by April eight. As of April 20, the quantity stood at 1,678. They’ve since adjusted their mannequin downward to erase its previous failures. Even then, the present mannequin has Texas hospitals wanting just like the “convey out your lifeless” scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, inside two weeks of releasing the hostages. I didn’t do a display screen seize of the Texas mannequin again on April 7; however I did seize one right now.
https://covidactnow.org/us/tx
I did get a display screen seize of New York and might examine it right now’s mannequin.
On April eight, New York has lower than 16,00zero hospitalized ChiCom-19 sufferers… However stood on the fringe of the abyss.
As of April 22, New York State was nonetheless on the fringe of the abyss.
So why is the group or seemingly harmless on-line mapping device utilizing inaccurate algorithms to scaremonger leaders into tanking the financial system? Politics, in fact.
Founders of the positioning embrace Democratic Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins and three Silicon Valley tech employees and Democratic activists — Zachary Rosen, Max Henderson, and Igor Kofman — who’re all additionally donors to varied Democratic campaigns and political organizations since 2016. Henderson and Kofman donated to the Hillary Clinton marketing campaign in 2016, whereas Rosen donated to the Democratic Nationwide Committee, just lately resigned Democratic Rep. Katie Hill, and different Democratic candidates. Previous to constructing the COVID Act Now web site, Kofman created an internet sport designed to boost $1 million for the eventual 2020 Democratic candidate and defeat President Trump. The sport’s web site is now defunct.
Maybe the aim of COVID Act Now was by no means to offer correct data, however to scare residents and authorities officers into to implementing rash and draconian measures. The creators even admit as a lot with the caveat that “this mannequin is designed to drive quick motion, not predict the longer term.”
They generated this mannequin beneath the guise of defending communities from overrun hospitals, a development that isn’t on observe to occur as they predicted. Not solely is the info false, and looking out extra incorrect with every passing day, however the web site is optimized for a disinformation marketing campaign.
A social media share button prompts customers to share their fashions and alarming graphs on Fb and Twitter with the auto-fill textual content, “That is the purpose of no return for intervention to stop X’s hospital system from being overloaded by Coronavirus.”
The Federalist
The votes to liberate the hostages on the finish of April have been:
Commissioner, Precinct 2 J.J. Koch (R)Commissioner, Precinct Three John Wiley Worth (D)
Thankfully for us hostages, the Governor of the Nice State of Texas outranks Fireplace Marshal Gump.
Dallas County extends stay-at-home order by means of Could 15, however Abbott might overrule motion

Dallas County prolonged its coronavirus pandemic stay-at-home order by means of Could 15, two weeks past the statewide order from Gov. Greg Abbott.
Tuesday’s Three-2 vote by county commissioners might be overruled by Abbott. Dallas County Choose Clay Jenkins, who solid one of many three votes to increase the order, mentioned he’ll go away it as much as the state to resolve.

ChiCom-19?
In my by no means ending effort to get rid of political correctness, I confer with all issues coronavirus as ChiCom-19.
Fireplace Marshal Gump?
County Choose Clay Jenkins is the chief government of Dallas County and presides over the County Commissioners Courtroom. He appears to be like just like the Jim Carrey character, Fireplace Marshal Invoice from In Dwelling Shade and he talks like Forrest Gump.
What do ChiCom-19 and Fireplace Marshal Gump must do with utilizing cosmic rays to foretell volcanic eruptions?
Completely nothing.
