Page 42. :) And news about Robbie Williams: Robbie has closed his fashion firm Farrell. The website is no more accessible. Read this in German media (ARDtext + ZDFtext today Friday 18.10.13)

According to international media - incl. German ARDtext + ZDFtext - more than 158 people have died in Tuesday's magnitude 7.2 earthquake. Some areas were cut out from the outside world. But help is on the way. Helicopters brought medicine, food, tents and blankets to the region on the island of BOHOL in the central Philippines. The distribution hereof is difficult as many streets have been closed / destroyed by landslides. Many buildings, streeets and bridges were destroyed or severely damaged.

PHILatelist, haha. I order stamps from time to time - and this time I received some beautiful stamps from HongKong twice even though I had only ordered 1 set of these. So the extra set is going to be sent to PHIL, the PHILatelist together with some Danish ones. :)

AT LEAST 17 DEATHS FOLLOWING TYPHOON WIPHA IN JAPAN At least 17 people are reported / confirmed dead and 45-50 are missing after typhoon Wipha (the strongest / most powerful for 10 years) hit Japan's Pacific coast early Wednesday morning. The typhoon had weakened and was a tropical depression. Landslides swept across the island of Izu Oshima 12 miles south of Tokyo. Houses were destroyed. It was feared that the nuclear power plant in Fukushima would be damaged further, but luckily not as it is attempted to prevent flooding in tanks/containers with radio-active/contaminated water. Schools were closed, hundreds of flights and trains were cancelled, and thousands of people had been evacuated. The typhoon hit Tokyo early Wednesday morning local time. The capital avoided major damage. Source: Norwegian NRK News / international + Swedish SVT Text

Update from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-24510464 13 October 2013 Last updated at 07:45 GMT India's Cyclone Phailin leaves trail of destruction Indian disaster teams have begun a relief operation after Cyclone Phailin crashed into eastern areas, forcing up to one million people to flee. Officials are assessing the damage and providing food to hundreds of thousands who spent the night in shelters. The cyclone wrecked many coastal homes, uprooted trees and blocked roads in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa states. Five deaths have so far been linked to the cyclone, far fewer than were initially feared. In 1999 a cyclone killed more than 10,000 people in Orissa. But the authorities said they were better prepared this time. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Berhampur, Orissa, says the authorities made massive effort to get the message out to people, many of whom were reluctant to leave their homes. He says their efforts appear to have paid off. The massive storm made landfall on Saturday, packing winds of up to 200km/h (125mph). It was weakening on Sunday as it made its way north-west.
