A earthquake rumbled parts of Goochland and nearby portions of Central Virginia Sunday night.

The United States Geological Survey reported the magnitude-2.3 earthquake struck at about 10:11 p.m. (The quake was first reported as 2.1-magnitude, but was later revised as is often the case.)

It was centered about three miles northeast of Goochland Courthouse and not far from Oilville.

Earthquakes with magnitudes less than 2.5 are often not felt, but will be picked up by seismograph.

People from Hanover and Powhatan counties, as well as folks in Short Pump and other nearby locations, reported feeling the quake.

"No reports of injuries or damages resulting from the earthquake have been reported as of 8:30 a.m. on Monday," Goochland Administrative Services Manager Paul Drumwright said. "Goochland County and VDEM request citizens check over their homes and property for any visual or hidden damages. Attention should be paid to foundations, chimneys, and sheetrock of homes and businesses.

Hundreds of black-billed gulls believed to have died of starvation at Waikaia, New Zealand

It is believed that the black-billed gulls starved to death.
It is believed that the black-billed gulls starved to death.
An investigation into the death of a large number of black-billed gulls in Southland has revealed a potential cause.

An estimated 150-200 fledgling birds were found dead near the Waikaia gold mine and Waikaia River at the beginning of the year, where they had been nesting within the wider area of their colony.

Department of Conservation senior ranger Rosalind Cole said testing carried out by staff at Massey University revealed the probable cause of death as starvation.

Autopsies of the birds revealed they were in poor condition and their stomachs were empty, Cole said.

There just happened to be no food at the particular time that the birds fledged, she said.

Fledglings were leaving mum and dad and going out on their own to survive, she said

The snow leopard's remote habitat becomes a challenge in detecting its killers and in law enforcement
Poachers are killing 45 snow leopards in India every year - meaning the beautiful animal could soon face extinction.

The revelation was made in a report compiled by TRAFFIC, an arm of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

The large cat which is native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia has been listed as endangered on the IUCN red list of threatened species since 2003, when the size of its global wild population was estimated at 4,080 - 6,590 adults.

In India its estimated population varies from 200 to 600 animals, which are scattered over 90,000 sq km in Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh.

Snow leopards sometimes attack livestock animals like cows and goats, leading farmers in Uttarakhand and Himachal to resort to retaliatory killing.

'But 60 per cent of non-targeted poaching incidents result in an attempt to sell their body parts in the black market,' the reports states.

SOTT Focus: Nuclear EMP, Solar EMP, or something else ...?

NEMP
Over the last decade the nuclear EMP (NEMP) threat associated with a high-altitude nuclear detonation has gained momentum, fueling the prepper community with visions of a sudden end to our high-tech infrastructure, and returning us to brutal survival conditions in a world of escalating chaos and violence. This threat is talked up by politicians, corporate lobbyists, and those that hope to gain - either monetarily (via government contract) or through the spread of fear (for perception management). Recent novels such as Ray Gorham's 77 Days in September and William Forstchen's One Second After have fanned the flames of this threat with gritty stories of mass death and horrendous struggles to survive. But is this threat really viable in the context of so many other threats that are visible on our horizon?

10-month-old baby girl killed by family dog in Japan

Dog attack
J-Cast News (March 10) reported that death of a 10-month-old baby girl after having been bitten by a golden retriever in Hachioji City last week spurred a surprisingly large number of comments on news sites and bulletin boards.

On March 9, the victim was at her grandparents' home, four kilometers from her parents' residence. Earlier in the day, the child had been left at a nursery, but she developed a fever. Her mother was at work, so she called her parents, who agreed to look after the child at their home, as was the family's occasional practice.

That evening, the child was crawling around the living room on the ground floor when the grandparents' pet golden retriever snapped at the base of her neck. Her grandmother had been watching the child from close by, but had not been able to protect her from the animal. The grandfather quickly telephoned for an ambulance and the child was taken to a nearby hospital, but about two hours later she was pronounced dead.

The dog was a four-year-old male golden retriever weighing 40 kilograms. According to the grandparents, the animal was gentle and seldom even barked at strangers. There was a cage in the house for keeping the animal, but it was allowed to roam freely inside the house. The grandparents also own three other dogs, including an Akita and two smaller breeds. Next to their front entrance they had posted a "Beware of Dog" warning.

An elephant killed its trainer with a swish of its trunk at a Japanese zoo today.

Wichai Madee from Thailand was washing an Indian elephant with a colleague at Adventure World in Wakayama when the female became angered and swung its trunk.

The trainer, 37, smashed into the iron bars of the elephant's cage and was rushed to hospital where he later died.

Police said: 'The animal might have somehow become angry. It swung its trunk and the trunk hit the person who was working in front of the elephant.'

'The person apparently was pushed hard and hit either the cage or the ground and hit his head.'
