The buried lede: they got 50usv/hr readings in a kindergarten. Last week a team from Keio University took one of our geiger counters for a drive. That was a test run for our slightly more elaborate set up, the first test of which happened this weekend. Rather than taping the counter to the window and taking photos (a method which worked fine btw) we've developed a bit of a self contained kit we're calling the bGeigie since it's something like a little bento box. We dropped off sensor equipment to volunteers in effected areas and took some measurements at schools around Koriyama that we're a bit concerned about (including one reading of over 50µSv/hr near a kindergarten playground). Admittedly we are not experts on radiation measurement, but here is what we are doing and what we found... First Safecast Mobile Recon (safecast.org, the project formerly known as rdtn.org)...

It may not be ready for an uprising on the scale of Tunisia or Egypt yet, but the tide is beginning to turn in Angola Since Tunisians rose up so heroically two months ago, a great deal has been written about the influence on the rest of the Arab world. Now, the spirit of revolution may be starting to blow south, stirring up protests in pockets of sub-Saharan Africa, too. In Angola, 17 people, including several journalists, were arrested on Monday at the start of a demonstration in Independence Square in the capital, Luanda. The protest began as an internet campaign two weeks ago when an anonymous group of individuals, announcing "a new revolution of the Angolan people", set up a website calling for an end to the 32-year rule of President José Eduardo dos Santos. Monday's short-lived protest in Luanda is in no way comparable with the extraordinary scenes witnessed in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Very few protesters showed up.
