Dr.Larry Lines, President Elect of SEG

Dr.Larry Line has been elected as President of SEG which I believe will be announced at SEG annual meeting in San Antonio coming September. Apparently he will spent a year on apprenticeship and then another year as head of SEG. I wish him the bests. He is my supervisor and I hope I still can have him as my supervisor.

Earthquake in Peru: The pain and fear again

Earthquake is part of the life and is not avoidable. But the harm it makes is avoidable. However the work necessary to make the world safe against it is so huge that sometimes when I think about it, I reach a point that I just let it go. The way is so long and so uncertain. By the way, we can take small steps. One day we will reach the point that we can live with the Dragon in peace. For now I just can pray for the people in Peru and I can end some helps.

If you are living in one of the risky areas in the world be watchfull. My beloved country Iran seems all red in the map. This shake my bones. If you know persian take a look at this documentary about risk of earthquake in Tehran. Frightening but awaring.
