It would be hard to find
someone who lost as much money as quickly as Bill Hwang did in March
2021. The previously unknown Wall Street whale and his family firm,
Archegos Capital, triggered losses of more than $20 billion in just
two days. The result was one of the most spectacular implosions in
modern financial history. Read more about Bill Hwang on

Seismology (/saɪzˈmɒlədʒi,saɪs-/; from Ancient Greek σεισμός (seismós) meaning "earthquake" and -λογία (-logía) meaning "study of") is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies. The field also includes studies of earthquake environmental effects such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, glacial, fluvial, oceanic, atmospheric, and artificial processes such as explosions. A related field that uses geology to infer information regarding past earthquakes is paleoseismology. A recording of Earth motion as a function of time is called a seismogram. A seismologist is a scientist who does research in seismology.
The
explosion in consumer demand over the past year and a half was
the trigger of the ongoing global shipping crisis. There was some
hope demand for goods would ease this year, but up until now, it
has stayed at record highs. On the other hand, wait times have
never been longer and the logistical nightmare faced by global
supply chains seems to have no clear end in sight. Experts are
now predicting that it will take at least another year before the
shipping crisis starts to stabilize. However, the uncontrolled
spread of the new virus variant and the slower pace of staff
vaccination may jeopardize that forecast. Unfortunately, this
means also the worst is yet to come. Supply chains are about to
face many more disruptions and consumers will have to deal with
extensive shortages from now on. The backlog at ports is a
problem that has only been intensified since March 2020,
compounded by a challenge that definitely won’t be solved in
the next five to six months: increasingly large container ships,
and ports that haven’t been remodeled to accommodate the
gigantic vessels. In fact, the Port of Los Angeles just recorded
its busiest month in history, with over 1 million shipping
containers waiting to get unloaded. To make matters worse, a
shortage of port workers and the unprecedented volume of cargo
are overwhelming longshoremen and seafarers who are having to
work for months beyond their contracted lines. At this point, the
crew change is severely worsening, with thousands of workers
trapped at sea for over a year. "I've seen grown men cry,"
revealed Captain Tejinder Singh, who hasn't set foot on dry land
in almost a year and isn't even sure when he'll finally go home.
"We are forgotten and taken for granted," he said in an
interview with Reuters. At least one hundred thousand workers are
stranded at sea as the Delta variant rapidly spreads onshore. The
Maritime Labour Convention highlighted that that the maximum
continuous period a seafarer should serve on board a vessel
without leave is 11 months, but many thousands of crew have now
been at sea for over 16 months. “The situation is going from
bad to worse. We need more than lip service from governments, we
need concrete action that allows crew changes to be carried out
in a safe manner,” stressed Stephen Cotton, general secretary,
International Transport Workers’ Federation. With virus
outbreaks occurring on ships and endangering the lives of marine
workers, further disruptions on trade are expected, according to
a new Bloomberg report. On the flip side, another 100,000 are
stuck on shore, unable to board the ships they need to earn a
living on. Can you even imagine the nightmare of being stuck at
sea for over a year? According to the United Nations, the
situation is quickly evolving into a major humanitarian crisis.
Given that only 2.5% of seafarers have been vaccinated, the vast
majority of them are not allowed to go back home. An imminent
labor crunch could halt global shipping indefinitely and threaten
the operations of global supply chains for months. Keeping in
mind that the global economy is heavily dependent on the world's
almost two million seafarers who operate the global fleet of
merchant ships, which transport around 90% of the world's trade,
the aggravation of this crisis also poses a major threat to the
US supply chains. We are extremely reliant on exports to keep our
economy up and running. Everything -- from oil to iron, to food
and electronics -- either comes or is processed overseas.
According to Insider's Rachel Premack, this also means that
American consumers should brace for yet higher prices and
shortages of many products. As chaos sweeps across global supply
chains, we're might be headed to a holiday season of empty
shelves yet again. Right now, the international shipping crisis
is deepening the financial pain faced by our producers as U.S.
agricultural exports are seeing their shipping times increase
dramatically. The imbalances between supply and demand are only
intensifying global supply chain woes. And this crisis will only
truly ebb when demand does. “The import level we’ve seen in
the past year is astronomical and not something that our
infrastructure can handle,” as Premack laid out. This is a
tumultuous and unprecedented time, and we all should start
getting prepared for the imminent chaos while we still can
because there are serious threats emerging on the horizon.

The4K Guy - Fire / Police / EMS Published on Dec 14, 2011 This brought back special memories for me. While I was living in North Vancouver, I kept my Cessna172D based at the CZBB - BoundaryBay Airport, since rebuilt, a Snowy
Owl winter habitat. Learn way more, also here. The SnowyOwls - Canadian Nature Photographer Hyperlink, have the best flying characteristics and instincts I have ever seen. It was the birds who made certain to keep my airplane out of their flight path; it was they who made certain there was no flight path conflict, ever. Of course some bird species are very small; sometimes too small for a pilot to see. CF-MJN never encountered one 'bird strike', ever. In the north I would sometimes find myself in the middle of a migratory bird flyway. During basic my flight training, I don't recall in ever been told about avoiding migratory bird routes: south for the winter, north for the coming of spring. Once from the Chilcotin to Vancouver, flying south through the Fraser Canyon at 5,000 feet in the middle of a migratory flyway in October, there were ducks, geese and all manner of migratory all around . Those birds were flying much slower than my 100 knots. There were just so many all around, perhaps 10,000 or so: to my port, to my starboard, above and below. I knew that if I made any sudden move, it would only confuse them. So, straight ahead, level flight. The birds did all of the collision avoidance required; they would just drop and weave, always avoiding my flight path, almost like they had eyes in the back of there head. I was awed by their situational awareness. Whew! I never knew that before. My suspicion is that an aircraft travelling at a very high speed within a flyway zone might not be so fortunate. Even a slower airplane doing 'air work' – practising aggressive maneuvers, wing stalls, etc. might get into trouble, if the
birds don't get a chance to react in time. Of all the bird species, Snowy Owls are the best of the best. https://youtu.be/4EXTuFfxe5c [5:43 minutes] The4K Guy - Fire / Police / EMS
