Italy’s Mt. Etna erupting in November 2006.

Well, I am currently off in the wilderness, but that doesn’t mean that things aren’t still hopping here at Eruptions. We are lucky to have Dr. Boris Behncke of the INGV Catania as that blogger and he brings us a three-part series on Mt. Etna on the island of Silicy. That means this week is Etna Week here on Eruptions, so for all of you chomping at the bit for more information on the Italian volcano, you are going to get it (and then some).

modern-day satellites who can watch that same summit from space.

I think you’re all going to love this series, so I’ll thank Boris now for his great work. Enjoy!

    @Erik @Boris
    This blog is similar to soap operas in Brazil: once you see the first chapter you get addicted. You guys should be in the entertainment business.
    Just coming back from work to my daily checking of volcanic news (all quiet over Iceland) and you give us Etna! And introducing it with the most fantastic picture.
    Good grief!
    I have papers to write, but I’ll just get a snack and read through the main page.
    Amazing blog! I’m so happy to be here.
    Thank you!

    @Boris:
    Congratulations for the beautiful family you have.
    I saw the picture of your daughter (http://www.flickr.com/photos/etnaboris/) playing with sulfur on Etna’s slope and I remember that when I was a kid my mom used an old Portuguese formula (“talco Granado”) to sooth our skin rashes. It consists of a mix of talc and sulfur and happens to be an excellent antiseptic and deodorant, specially for parts of the body exposed to heavy sweating. The patent was bought by Johnson & Johnson, and I don’t know if it is commercialized elsewhere. Still today I use it as a dry deodorant (it has a slight sulfur smell but it proves to be excellent for feet and armpits).
    I must say I was happy to find out that Etna has a low lethality history (only 84 in historical registers), otherwise I would be worried for your family safety. But the landscape and the volcano itself are stunning , so I assume you people must have a a wonderful time living in the shade of Mama Etna.
    Looking forward to more information on this amazing volcano.

    Excellent work video. I often wonder if the old masters of martial arts were as wise as some people make them out to be, but in my time, I’ve come across things I can’t explain, so I suppose wisdom isn’t something easily acquired. Thanks for the food for thought!

    The advantages of stories for children really are remarkable. It would really limit the weight of teachers and parents in how to convey a message to an innocent child. One plus of stories is it simply teaches a child how to relate to other people. It also teaches cause and effect creative concepts. Another benefit of reading children stories is you could teach a young child about problem-solving without him going up to your level. He is able to see and understand how things work in the language of a little child. Above all, it also helps children to understand themselves to a higher extent. Ideas about self-discipline and character growth are being taught effectively. These principles are easily grasp by us adults but so much tough to teach to young child. Children need to visit some concrete examples in learning basic creative concepts. Therefore, storytelling is regarded as the effective yet inexpensive approach of teaching your students and children the basic thoughts in life that they terribly needed in the future.

    I have observed that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every real estate contract, a commission rate is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers will not “save” the percentage. Rather, they struggle to earn the commission by means of doing an agent’s job. In this, they commit their money as well as time to execute, as best they are able to, the obligations of an agent. Those responsibilities include disclosing the home by marketing, introducing the home to all buyers, constructing a sense of buyer emergency in order to induce an offer, scheduling home inspections, dealing with qualification investigations with the bank, supervising maintenance, and assisting the closing of the deal.

    You aren’t the common weblog author, gentleman. You certainly have one thing powerful to include in the internet. Your style is so strong that you could nearly pull off being a negative author, yet you’re actually great from expressing that which you have to point out. Keep in the great work gentleman!

    My second point is that we must take into account the impact of any ruling. In this case, the Citizens’ United ruling gives license for corruption of government by large, rich entities like corporations, even unions. Moreover, this ruling in effect nullifies limits on campaign contributions. Thus, the impact is that the power which comes from large concentrations of wealth in effect takes over the running of our government. We have this situation now, and it is going to get worse. I don’t believe this is the intended operation of a democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people which the founders visualized.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
