Open meeting of the Counter-Terrorism Committee - Building resilience of communities to prevent radicalization to terrorism.

The objective of the open meeting is to convene a broad range of experts to discuss experiences, identify the latest trends, and share best practices on building community resilience to prevent and counter radicalization to terrorism. The open meeting will also provide an opportunity to strengthen collaboration with all relevant United Nations bodies and stakeholders in line with Council resolution 2617 (2021).

In addition, the open meeting will help to foster understanding of the issues and challenges posed by the use of use of new and emerging technologies, including AI, for terrorist purposes, as well as explore ways to build resilience to terrorism through the use of these technologies.

The Vital Role of Schools and Educational Institutions in Earthquake Safety

Earthquakes are natural disasters that can strike without warning, causing devastation and loss of life. In regions prone to seismic activity, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, preparedness is essential for mitigating the impact of these tremors. Among the critical pillars of earthquake preparedness is the role of schools and educational institutions. These institutions play a pivotal role not…

Witnessing Nature's Fury: Iceland Volcano Spews Lava in Eruption

Iceland, a land of stunning landscapes and geological wonders, has once again captured the world's attention with a spectacular display of nature's power. In recent days, a volcano in the Reykjanes Peninsula has erupted, sending plumes of ash and rivers of molten lava into the air. This event, while not unexpected in a country known for its volcanic activity, has mesmerized onlookers and sparked discussions about the dynamic forces shaping our planet. In this blog post, we delve into the eruption, its causes, and its significance.

On a chilly morning in Iceland, residents and visitors awoke to the rumblings of Fagradalsfjall, a volcano located approximately 30 kilometers southwest of the capital, Reykjavik. This awakening marked the first eruption in the area in over 800 years, igniting excitement and awe among those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand. The eruption initially began with a fissure opening on the volcano's slopes, unleashing a cascade of fiery lava that flowed gracefully down the mountainside.

As the eruption progressed, lava fountains illuminated the night sky, casting an otherworldly glow over the surrounding landscape. The lava, a molten testament to the Earth's inner turmoil, flowed steadily, carving new channels and reshaping the terrain with each passing hour. Spectators gathered from near and far, cameras in hand, to capture the spectacle and bear witness to the raw power of nature in motion.

The eruption of Fagradalsfjall, like many volcanic events, is rooted in the complex geological processes that shape the planet's surface. Iceland sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a boundary where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet and diverge. This geological hotspot is responsible for Iceland's volcanic activity, as magma from the Earth's mantle rises to the surface, creating new landmasses and reshaping the island over millennia.

In the case of the Fagradalsfjall eruption, experts believe that a combination of factors, including magma pressure and tectonic stress, contributed to the volcano's awakening. While volcanic activity in Iceland is not uncommon, the precise timing and location of eruptions remain unpredictable, underscoring the dynamic nature of the planet we call home.

Beyond its awe-inspiring beauty, the eruption of Fagradalsfjall holds scientific significance and offers valuable insights into the inner workings of our planet. Volcanic eruptions provide scientists with opportunities to study magma dynamics, gas emissions, and the interactions between geological processes and the environment. By monitoring and analyzing volcanic activity, researchers can better understand volcanic hazards and mitigate risks to human populations living in volcanic regions.

Furthermore, the eruption serves as a reminder of Iceland's geological heritage and its unique place in the natural world. For centuries, Icelanders have coexisted with volcanic activity, harnessing its energy for geothermal power and drawing inspiration from its rugged landscapes. The eruption of Fagradalsfjall serves as a testament to the resilience of both nature and humanity, highlighting our ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity.

The eruption of Fagradalsfjall stands as a testament to the awe-inspiring power of nature and the dynamic forces that shape our planet. From its humble beginnings as a fissure in the earth to its fiery crescendo of lava fountains and ash plumes, the eruption captivated the world and reminded us of the fragile balance between creation and destruction. As Icelanders and visitors alike gather to witness this geological spectacle, let us marvel at the wonders of the natural world and strive to protect and preserve the beauty that surrounds us.

just ran across young radfems and radfem-aligned girls joining a twitter space and eloquently talking about shit they deal with as girls specifically, especially with their families favoring sons and their problems regarding the medical industry and how their menstruation pains as well as mental health problems are disregarded and trivialized...

I'm talking girls aged 13-18, promising each other they're going to read at least 3 radfem books this summer, coming together against trolls and gross males, creating a safe space for each other on the internet..

There IS hope for women, there IS hope for women !!!!!

#those girls were SO young #like they were BABIES #but look at them !!!#finding like-minded girls creating community #i feel so proud #like those are MY babies my baby girls and they're already so resilient and brave and admirable and conscientious #radfems do interact #radfems touch #radfem #radical feminism #radblr #mine
