#Lava pillars in Iceland may have formed without a boom University at Buffalo rightoriginal Studyposted by Charlotte Hsu-Buffalo on October 9 2013land-based lava pillars in Iceland may have formed through an unusual reaction typically seen
That finding is more likely than the one that suggests the rocky pillars dotting Icelandâ#Skaelingar valley were tossed projectiles into the fields by warring trollsâ##a theory University at Buffalo geologist Tracy Gregg heard from a tour guide and local hiker.
The pillars hollow and made from basalt likely formed in a surprising reaction where lava met water without any explosion occurring. sually

Through a combination of surface tension and tilting pillars water climbed up the array following the direction of the pillars.

or country rarely comes without its share of art museums and exhibitions. Unique work of arts are indeed an integral part of
what makes culture and history so fascinating and their trade weighs quite heavily in today's economies.
We could compare preservation of cultural heritage to medicine where the works of art play the role of the patients:
but must then be complemented by the development of medicines (advanced restoration materials) to cure the patient (restore the work of art).
In order to address this challenge we have created a unique partnership that groups research institutions and materials science experts together with high-profile museums conservation centres and experienced professionals in the field of modern art preservation.

On the same date as Premera, Anthem discovered a breach that affected nearly 80 million customers
Anthem announced its breach on February 13, more than a month before Premera announcement today. Unlike in the Premera breach, medical data and banking information were believed not to have been exposed in the Anthem breach.
Both Premera and Anthem described the attacks against their systems as ery sophisticated, and some believe the attacks may be linked to a state-sponsored attack out of China.
A wave of phishing attacks followed the announcement of the Anthem breach. In light of this
Premera is stressing that the company will not email or call customers about the breach. To protect against phishing attacks,
