I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works.
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.
According to a recently published report, the report states Officials downgraded the tsunami warning issued for parts of Alaska, from Unimak Pass to Attu, after a magnitude-8.0 earthquake struck Monday.
The National Tsunami Warning Center downgraded the warning to an advisory. Residents in the areas affected by the advisory were told to move off the beaches and not return to the coast unless emergency officials indicate it's safe to do so.
The quake hit near the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, according to the United States Geological Survey. There were no immediate reports of damage.
The earthquake had a depth of 118 kilometres or about 73 miles, and the nearest populated area to the epicenter is 15 miles away, an island called Little Sitkin Island, according to Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist with the USGS.
The earthquake recorded at 12:53 p.m. local time was initially reported with a magnitude of 7.1, but was later upgraded to 8.0.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
