Early morning earthquake shakes Taiwan
The 7.2 temblor caused a small, 30-centimetre (1 foot) tsunami on some outlying islands of Japan.
Taiwan shut down all rail services including the Taipei subway. But by noon, life was approximately back to normal, with schools open and trains back on schedule.
The quake (photo) knocked over buildings in Hualien, collapsing its first floor and leaving the rest leaning at a 45-degree angle. In the capital, Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings and within some newer office complexes.
As of Wednesday evening, Taiwan suffered 4 dead, 57 badly injured by the quake.

Charges being thrown around include money laudering -- plus the actual arrest warrant for Joke..
Big Joke surrendered himself at the Tao Poon police station in Bangkok.
He was later released on bail and declined to speak to reporters -- except a terse statement that, "I am innocent."

SPACE
This (below) is a volcano, just discovered by astronomers. It's the size of Mount Everest.
It's not dangerous to anyone except the aliens living on Mars.
The boffins call it Olympus Mons. It's the largest known volcano in the entire solar system.
Researchers are lobbying for massive searches near Olympus Mons, to try to find water-ice or, of course, actual living aliens.
Much more, including some details of NASA's latest 'simulated Mars mission' in Texas, just getting under way.

SpaceX sends Eutelsat telecom satellite into orbit. Aboard a Falcon9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which is a state in America.
The Eutelsat 36D geostationary telecommunications satellite is designed to provide TV broadcasting and government services to customers in Africa, Europe and parts of Asia.
What a pity that Europe and Eutelsat couldn't manage it themselves.

Biden campaign spokesmanperson Michael Tyler says
 This image from Donald Trump is the type of crap you post when you’re calling for a bloodbath or when you tell the Proud Boys to ‘stand back and stand by.’ Trump is regularly inciting political violence and it’s time people take him seriously — just ask the Capitol Police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6.
