NORRISTOWN, Pa. - The Norristown Police Department held its National Night Out celebration on Tuesday in an effort to strengthen the relationship between the community and local emergency responders.

The community block part gave neighbors a chance to connect with local authorities in a fun environment that included live music and face painting. "One of the goals is building that strong trust with the community so when something does happen, they'll be witnesses, call 911 when they hear gunshots or anything like that," Norristown Police Chief Derrick Wood said. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESWood, a former inspector for the Philadelphia Police Department, was appointed to lead the Norristown department in December.

Tuesday was Wood's first National Night Out as leader of the Norristown Police Department. "When I came here back in December to be the chief, I told the community I need you to step up," Wood said. "We can't make this a safer community without working together."There were plenty of first-timers in the crowd on Tuesday night.

Austin Douglas recently moved to Norristown and brought hit 4-year-old son to the block party. "I think community is a huge thing," Douglas said.

Shape of coronavirus can tell how quickly virus will spread, study claims

coronavirus particles are breathed, they move around within the passages in the nose and lungs. But, the scientists modelled a specific form of movement known as rotational diffusivity, which controls the pace at which particles rotate as they move through the fluid (in the case of the coronavirus, droplets of saliva). Smoother and more hydrodynamic particles experience less drag resistance from the fluid and rotate more quickly.

Satellite images reveal nearly 100-km-wide inland lake formed during deadly flooding in Pakistan

Pakistan has left death and destruction in a country that is already going through one of its worst economic crises to date. In satellite images showing the before and aftermath of flooding in Pakistan, the landscape looks completely transformed. Operational Land Imagers aboard NASA’s Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites took images of Pakistan on August 4 and August 28. The imaging concentrates on the areas which received some of the heaviest flooding damage, along the Indus River in the provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Sindh, according to NASA’s Earth Observatory. What would normally be relatively dry land bordering the river has now turned into a nearly 100-kilometer-wide lake, according to satellite images. Image shows satellite images of the area along the Indus River in the provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Sindh on August 4 and the aftermath of flooding in the same area on August 28. (Landsat 8 — OLI and Landsat 9 — OLI-2 via NASA)The provinces of Balochistan and Sindh have received five to six times their 30-year average rainfall so far this year, according to NASA.
