Fracking linked to Alberta earthquakes, study indicates { * – Carmen Langer had just left his bed to grab a drink of water when he felt his house northeast of Peace River, Alta., begin to shake. – “At first I thought I wasn’t feeling very good that day… and it was just my blood sugar, but no, it shook pretty good,” Langer said about the Nov. 2 incident.

– Moments after the shaking stopped, his neighbours were calling, asking if he had felt what they just felt. – “After a few minutes, I realized it was an earthquake,” Langer said. – There was a small earthquake on Nov. 2 in Peace River, just northeast of Peace River. The recently published study involving Alberta researcher Jeff Gu indicates fracking may trigger earthquakes in the province. – Natural Resources Canada (NRC) registered a small, 3.0-magnitude earthquake that was “lightly felt” from Three Creeks to St. Isidor in northern Alberta at 11:14 p.m. MT. NRC said on its website there were no reports of damage, and that “none would be expected.” – Jeff Gu, a seismologist at the University of Alberta, said the earthquake could have been caused by shifting rock formations in the region — but added there could be another possible explanation. – “Certainly that region is not immune to earthquake faulting, but I would say having actual earthquakes in that area is relatively recent, relatively new,” he said. – Gu is one of three authors of a recently published study in the Journal of Geophysical Research, a peer-reviewed publication that looked at four years of earthquake data around Rocky Mountain House. The study concludes that waste-water injection into the ground is highly correlated with spikes in earthquake activity in the area. – It is the first study of its kind conducted in Canada that links industrial activity to induced earthquakes. – “The conclusion was that the industrial activities could, in some cases, potentially trigger or facilitate earthquake occurrences,” Gu said. – Alberta earthquakes increasing – Since 1985, fewer than 15 earthquakes above a 3.0 magnitude have been recorded anywhere in Alberta, according to the Alberta Geological Survey’s website. There has been an increase in earthquake activity since the 1960s, the organization says. – The Peace River earthquake is not the only one that has shaken the province in the past few months:
- In October, a 2.7-magnitude quake was recorded about four kilometres southwest of Banff.
- In August, a 4.3-magnitude earthquake was registered near Rocky Mountain House, causing about 500 customers in the area to lose power for several hours.
– Gu said the research into whether waste-water induction and fracking are related to earthquakes is still “really a work in progress.” – “There has been more and more evidence, increasing evidence, in the last few years in particular — in Arkansas, in Texas and actually more recently here,” Gu said. – But he said there is nothing to fear right now. – “I’m not worried until we get a conclusive answer on whether these are caused by industry or not, whether they are naturally occurring,” Gu said. – Langer, however, is worried. – “With all the stuff that’s going on in my community, I’m feeling quite concerned about it,” he said. “We’re having all kinds of environmental problems in the community… Something has to give here.” – * —djo— }

-Sunday-Royal Bank to test our Toronto company’s Nymi technology { * – You’ve heard of paying retailers with the tap of a smartphone, but Royal Bank thinks shoppers are ready to take another big step: wearing payment options on their wrist. – The bank has paired with Toronto-based technology developer Bionym to test a wristband called Nymi (pronounced Nim-ee), which identifies owners through their unique heartbeat and then lets them charge purchases to their credit card. – The device looks like a watch, and will soon grace the wrists of 250 RBC clients and staff under a pilot project in Toronto that runs through February. – Eventually, the bank hopes to roll out its RBC PayBand across the country. – * *** & I’ve got friends who believe this is another step down the slippery slope to the ‘Number of the Beast’ Biblical Prophecy – and they’re convinced that the devil himself is behind this plot to poison everybody’s souls with some kind of curse that will make it impossible for billions of good people to ever go to Heaven. *** —djo—}

-Sunday- 3rd Skillsoft email raises privacy concerns in N.B. { * – A New Brunswick woman says she received another email from a company that mistakenly exposed thousands of email addresses a few days ago and said the problem has been fixed.
– Cheryl Hay was surprised to open her email Saturday morning and find another message from Skillsoft, a company that offers government-funded online training courses. – She says it’s the third one since Thursday. Plus, she says, it contains the email addresses of more than 4,000 people. – “People are exposing their work locations and it’s a breach of privacy regarding the fact that they may not want their employers knowing they’re taking training or just the fact that they’re trying to do some training on their own without a whole bunch of other people knowing,” Hay said. – Skillsoft sent an email Thursday offering assistance to those who had signed up for its courses. The problem was it CCed everyone, which meant everyone’s email address was visible to everyone else. – On Friday, the company told CBC News the problem was fixed. – Chris Cummins, vice-president of inside sales for North America, says no more emails have been sent, however, some people are receiving the one sent out Thursday on delay. – “Certainly we are here and ready to answer any questions that anybody has. They can get in touch with us directly at the SkillsNB email address that we communicated out on Friday morning as well,” Cummins said. – Cummins says several people got in touch with the company Saturday to say they had received emails. He says each case is being dealt with individually. – New Brunswick’s privacy commissioner is investigating. – * —djo— }
