Maria's Blog

Journalism student at GH. I like coffee. And by coffee I mean mochas (coffee sounds more grown up somehow). I used to like singing but one day my teacher made me sing in front of the class (ultimate shame) and now it is just too painful. I play the piano -> not at school of course. Somehow I think that would violate a rule somewhere.. When I am depressed I write death poems. Sometimes I mistake manikins for real people..and sometimes I mistake real people for manikins.

thedailywhat: Damn Nature U Scary of the Day: Train tracks near Rolleston, New Zealand, shortly following the 2010 Canterbury earthquake. From Dave Petley, Professor of Hazard and Risk in the Department of Geography at Durham University: My initial hypothesis here (I am no expert on railway track deformation) in order to stimulate discussion is that the buckling may be the result of compressional deformation across a broad zone.  The compression on the very strong railway line was accommodated when a weak point was found, leading to a comparatively rapid deformation to form the main buckle on the left.  This then concentrated stress on both sides of the buckle, allowing the other (right side) bends to form. [gizmodo.] hahaha instant death!
