High-risk areas downhill from mining dams in Brazil
More than 100,000 Brazilians live downhill from mining
dams built like the one in Brumadinho that collapsed last month,
our estimates found.
Brazil counts 87 mining dams built using the same method,
known as upstream tailings construction, as the one that
collapsed. That design is risky if not monitored carefully, and
experts have warned that a collapse could happen again in a
country where neither the mining industry nor regulators have
the situation under control.
We looked at each of the 87 upstream dams to estimate if it
could threaten populated areas, using geospatial analysis to
estimate where the mud could flow if each of the dams failed.
For at least 27 of those dams, more than 1,000 people live in
high-risk areas. That means they are downhill from the dam and
within eight kilometers — the distance the mud flowed after the
Brumadinho collapse.
All of those dams were rated by the government at the
same risk level, or worse, as the dam that failed in Brumadinho.
“I wouldn’t buy a home downstream of a tailings dam built
in an upstream fashion,” said William F. Marcuson III, a former
president of the American Society of Civil Engineers. “And I
wouldn’t allow my mother to rent or live in a home downstream
of a tailings dam built in an upstream fashion.”
Minas Gerais, a state whose name means “general mines”,
has been the hub of Brazil’s mining industry for centuries. Today,
it still produces 53 percent of the country’s mining output.

PRAY WITH THE POPE, FROM YOUR IPHONE
"Click to pray" are not words you'd expect to come out of
the pope's mouth.
But that's what onlookers heard during the traditional
Sunday address from Pope Francis, as he introduced
ClickToPray, an app for communal prayer aimed at young
people.
"The Internet and social media are a resource of our
time," the pope said. From a balcony overlooking St. Peter's
Square, Francis then gestured to a tablet. Father Frédéric
Fornos, international director of the pope's Worldwide Prayer
Network, held up the device for the crowd to see.
"Here," Francis said, "I'll insert the intentions and the prayer
requests for the mission of the Church."
He tapped the screen several times before glancing up at
Fornos.
"Did I do it?" he asked.
The pope has made earnest efforts to embrace
technology, tweeting frequently and calling the Web "a gift from
God." Now he's given his followers a convenient way to turn on
their smart devices and see what the leader of the Catholic
Church is praying for at any given time.
"Pray every day," reads the app when it opens. "Pray
together with others. Give to the community."
More than 18,000 people have clicked on the pope's prayer
intention for January. The prayer, "Young People and the
Example of Mary," focuses on young Catholics, especially in
Latin America. But the app is more democratic than the pope's Sunday
address, with a timeline of prayers from other users that you can
scroll through, similar to a social media feed. People write
prayers for weddings, celebrations, illnesses and more, and
others can click to pray with them or leave a comment.
A prayer in English asks for employment "where I can
make a difference," while another in Italian seeks an end to
international borders. Prayers in Spanish, French, Portuguese
and German have also been posted to the app, ranging from
precise requests to generic expressions of love and fraternity.
In his address, Pope Francis specifically called on young
people to download the app. The pope has long sought to make
the Church relevant for younger generations, as the proportion
of Catholics declines across the world. […]

Perfectly Preserved Ancient Shipwreck Found in the Baltic Sea with Guns Ready to Fire
By Yasemin Saplakoglu, Staff Writer | July 24, 2019 01:33pm ET
An incredibly well-preserved ancient shipwreck has been uncovered in the Baltic Sea.
Though it likely dates back to 500 to 600 years ago, "it's almost like it sank yesterday," Rodrigo Pacheco-Ruiz, a maritime archeologist with the survey specialists MMT, said in a statement. The ship was first discovered using sonar - which uses sound waves to detect objects - by the Swedish Maritime Administration back in 2009.
But Pacheco-Ruiz and his team, in collaboration with the Centre for Maritime Archeology at the University of Southampton in England, recently led an archeological survey of the wreck using underwater robots.
The survey revealed that the ship likely dates to the 15th to early 16th centuries. Though it looks tattered, it is still largely intact. The masts of the ship were still in place and the hull is complete. On the main deck, leaning against the main mast, the scientists found a small boat that was likely used to transport the crew to and from the ship. They also found swivel guns on the main deck, some still neatly packed away in gun ports. Two swivel guns were still aimed in the firing position, The Independent reported.
"This ship is contemporary to the times of Christopher Columbus and Leonardo Da Vinci, yet it demonstrates a remarkable level of preservation after five hundred years at the bottom of the sea," Pacheco-Ruiz said. It's very wellpreserved due to the cold, slightly salty waters of the Baltic Sea, he added.
