Volcanic alert raised to V1 at the Azorean Furnas volcano

The Azores Seismovolcanic Information and Surveillance Centre (CIVISA) today raised the volcanic alert level at Furnas volcano to V1, corresponding to a volcanic system in a metastable equilibrium phase, due to an increase in seismic activity recorded since 11:47 local time. CIVISA's statement indicates that the volcano, located in the municipality of Povoação on São Miguel island, has been showing an increase in seismic events, although all tremors recorded so far have been of low magnitude.

Individualized rhinoplasty enhances facial features

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that modifies a central structure of the face, affecting facial proportions and, in some cases, breathing. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the surgery can change the size, width, profile, tip and asymmetries of the nose, in addition to correcting structural breathing problems. The entity emphasizes that the procedure should be individualized, with realistic goals, since appropriate measurements for one face do not guarantee the same balance in another. A study published in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery compared nasal proportions of women from different ethnic groups with neoclassical aesthetic canons, identifying significant variations among the groups.
