Massive Earthquakes in Chile

Only weeks following the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti we now hear of a massive earthquake off the coast of Chile – the full extent of the devastation is still to be revealed – as with Haiti getting accurate reports and assesments of the disaster is hampered by the very nature of the event.

Chile Earthquake – What You Can do to help

Leading overseas aid agency Oxfam are already offering information about the Chile earthquake and you can send money to help their emergency relief disaster fund fund.

A commenter on this Times article posted the following thoughts which stirred much deabate:

There seems to be a gradual increase in these events just recently; Makes you wonder if they are building up to an even greater catastrophic event.
No doubt the effects of climate change has a part in it too.
Extreme weather events alter things in there own way.

Concluding:

Planet Earth seems to be undergoing some changes, whichever way you look at it.

Just makes you wonder…?

Let the climate change debate begin…..

Geraldine Leale perhaps gave the most apt response when she wrote:

Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with “global warming” needs a slap.

The Chile earthquake is a catastrophe – after the misery of Haiti we wonder if the international groups – Oxfam and Red Cross can help the people there, they need our help very much, action is more precious than words.

Action on Salt and Health aims to combat the problems of salt and recently I optimised their web site for added value to both visitors and search results. The main source of salt in the UK diet is salt added in food processing and manufacture. This accounts for around 80% of our salt intake and is hidden in foods, e.g. bread, some cereals, meat products and ready prepared meals. The amount of salt - sodium chloride - that we eat has a direct effect on our health and blood pressure. The more salt we eat the higher our blood pressure. This is true, not only in people with high blood pressure. but also in people with normal blood pressure.	Too much salt is bad for your heart.
Cardiac Risk in the Young My work with Cardiac Risk in the Young involved helping to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndromes - SADS who are young and at Cardiac Risk primarily by developing their Web site and optimising it consistently getting top 10 listings for key phrases in search engine results. The SADS Web site was launched to compliment the work of CRY and is an additional resource for families who have suffered a loss or are concerned about symptoms which may indicate one of the several causes of sudden cardiac death through undiagnosed heart problems.

Back in September I was making the most of the opportunity presented by the Countryside Alliance protest - I headed out to the sticks for a spot of poaching and came across an entire hedgerow dripping with sloes. This year the sloes from Hope Cove holiday cottage in South Devon have been early and we've been in full production of both sloe gin and vodka More recipes and miscellaneous stuff at the blog Top Banana	Eat, drink and be merry.

Dave and Jan headed off to Lustleigh in Dartmoor National Park, Devon. A tremendous change from the past few years in London and we hope to be able to put our diverse skills to good use and earn a crust in between gardening, basking in the sun, surfing. eating cream teas and munching pasties with the Pasty Muncher - not necessarily in order. Latest news - the south west now has antique chinese furniture available at Honiton and Lustleigh and coming soon will be a fantastic fabric warehouse outlet that will offer curtains, blinds and bedding for your home.
