[1/4] Lava flows from Mount Mayon volcano, in Daraga, Philippines June 11, 2023, in this picture obtained from social media. Incandescent lava was seen flowing slowly from the mouth of the 2,462-metre (8,077-foot) Mayon volcano, which was placed on a high alert level last week following seismic tremors and hundreds of rockfall events. Authorities said people living further away from the volcano should also be ready for possible evacuation, with the police placing checkpoints to prevent residents from returning. Dorothy Colle, a provincial tourism official, said while the no-go zone was being enforced, people were still flocking to observation stations to witness lava flows, which appear particularly bright at night. Its most destructive eruption came in February 1841when lava flows buried a town and killed 1,200 people.

CNN —The Philippines’ most active volcano began spewing lava and sulfuric gas Sunday, prompting the evacuation of nearly 13,000 residents in the southeast of the country’s main island, authorities said. Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recommended everyone within a 6-kilometer (3.7-mile) radius or “danger zone” of the Mount Mayon volcano be evacuated due to the danger of rockfalls, landslides and ballistic fragments. Within the past 24 hours, the Mayon Volcano Network recorded 21 weak volcanic earthquakes, and 260 rockfalls, as well as lava flow activity from the crater, according to Phivolcs. Albay province was placed under a state of calamity on Friday allowing the government to release response funds to support affected residents, CNN affiliate CNN Philippines reported. “Lava flows are slow moving and effusive eruptions are generally less violent and produce less ash and volcanic gases than explosive eruptions,” he told CNN Philippines.

☆ Philippines raises alert level at rumbling volcano after rockfall, quakes

MANILA, June 8 (Reuters) - The Philippines raised the alert level at the popular Mayon volcano by a notch on Thursday, after detecting volcanic earthquakes and hundreds of rockfall events. At "alert level 3" on a scale of 5, Mayon has increased chances of lava flows and a potential for explosive activity within weeks or even days, it added. The agency had elevated Mayon to "alert level 2" on June 5. There are no major industries around the volcano, with most farming activities in the area consisting of subsistence crops. The most destructive eruption came in February, 1841 when lava flows buried a town and killed 1,200 people.

☆ Judge OKs NY weapons ban in Times Square and other 'sensitive' places — but calls the underlying law 'doomed'
  + stars: | 2022-09-01 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
A judge let New York ban guns in 'sensitive' locations, but called the underlying law legally 'doomed.' Gun lobbies are fighting the NY law, enacted after a June Supreme Court decision expanded gun rights. The law bans guns in "sensitive" places like Times Square, parks, theaters, and houses of worship, and re-tightens concealed carry permit restrictions that had been loosened by the Supreme Court in June. But in the Bruen case, the Supreme Court found any such limits on the right to "bear arms" unconstitutional. Both gun lobby groups promised to continue to fight the New York law.
