NASA Earth Observatory | Earthquakes Near Vanuatu

On October 8 and 9, 2009, more than a dozen earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or greater occurred near the island nation of Vanuatu, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The strongest quake, occurring at 9:18 a.m. local time on October 8, had a magnitude of 7.8. Authorities issued but later rescinded a tsunami warning for surrounding nations and territories. Heeding the warning, some residents sought refuge on higher ground, but the resulting waves proved small and caused no apparent damage.

This map shows the region surrounding the earthquakes that occurred on October 7 and 8, 2009. Ocean areas appear in shades of blue, and land areas appear in shades of brown. Both in water and on land, higher elevation appears in lighter colors. Black circles mark earthquake locations determined by the USGS, and circle sizes correspond with quake magnitudes. A curving black line delineates the approximate boundary between the Australia and Pacific Plates.

The USGS stated that the earthquakes all occurred on or near the Australia-Pacific Plate boundary, at depths between 29.5 and 35.0 kilometers (18.3 and 21.7 miles). Most of the quakes occurred at a depth of 35 kilometers. In this region, the Australia Plate moves east-northeast in relation to the Pacific Plate. The Australia Plate moves at approximately 91 millimeters (3.58 inches) per year. This region ranks among the world’s most seismically active.

The earthquakes that struck near Vanuatu occurred on October 8 and 9 in the local time zone, and on October 7 and 8 by UTC time.

GARAGE SALE NEWS

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is looking to unload 1/8 of its 3,217 tonnes of gold to increase its ability to lend to poor countries. After the US and Germany, the IMF is the largest official holder of gold bullion.

This is bullish for gold! Central banks like those of Russia and China will increase their store of gold to shore up their accounts and hedge against inflation. China has already expressed their interest in purchasing more gold, and Chinese bankers have even been quoted that they will “buy gold during any dips in price.” Look for a long post soon on China’s hunger for gold and what this means for your investment future.



FROM A FORUM AND WRITTEN BY A GUY IN THE KNOW:

"What I see next is what I term "Wholesaler Rationing" as we are already seeing the stories in the financial press about ChiCom* factories shutting down early for the Christmas season and their wholesale row seeing reduced buyer traffic from the U.S. and U.K. in excess of 38%

Most people do not understand LOC's but Letters of Credit are the key to imports back into our nation from overseas and few foreign companies are willing to extend credit to marginal United States wholesalers and retailers.

The shortages we'll see first will be in the auto part arena followed by discretionary consumer goods.

As the credit reigns refuse to let loose, we will endure a new level of pain unseen in this nation in 70 years but witnessed in South America (Argentina) less than 20 years ago. A nation converting from a disinflationary/stagflation threat into a hyperinflationary desperation demand economic nightmare.

FWIW*, the shortages are here. Just look at the shelves as to what is short. And look for a wave of pork and poultry producers and grain farmers going bankrupt this winter."

Norfolk Daily News | Villa Inn in Norfolk, Nebraska destined for wrecking ball

The question pops up every so often.

What’s going on with the former Villa Inn located near the corner of the busiest intersection in Norfolk?

A contractor for months has been pulling out what can be saved from inside the huge building, which has been vacant for almost four years and is in deteriorating condition.

On Sept. 30, the contractor picked up a permit from the city to finally begin razing the old hotel and convention center.

*Went to my share of conventions in that building - long, long ago
