Scientists believe an Alaskan volcano is about to erupt. Here’s how they’re preparing
Scientists say it's likely that the closest active volcano to the Alaskan city of Anchorage will erupt soon. If it does, the primary concern is ash, which could impact both residents and flights in the area. Here's how scientists are preparing.

Brunell’s stationing in Hesse-Kassel coincided with the last years of the #GreatNorthernWar. After the Swedish territories in the north of the #HRE had been occupied by #Sweden’s enemies in 1715, a huge number of Swedish soldiers and sailors who either lost contact with their units or were escaped prisoners of war, came to Hessen-Kassel to seek help from the Swedish #resident there and the landgrave, the father-in-law to the Swedish king’s sister, to find a way back to #Sweden or at least Swedish territory. During a five years’ time, the Swedish residents in Hesse-Kassel and especially Brunell were occupied with organising how these people should be handled. Brunell negotiated with the landgrave about passports, money, and provisions. (3/5)

#Pennsylvania Will Start Automatic #VoterRegistration

Nearly ½ of all states have similar programs that combine getting a #DriversLicense or #stateID card w/registering to #vote.

Voters must meet certain eligibility requirements, which include being a US #citizen & a PA #resident for at least 30 days before an #election. They also must be at least 18 years old on the date of the next election.
