There is proof low level microwaves cause cancer

Meaford Ontario and concerns about the locator signal low level WIFI radiation

Should you be worried?

Our science on this is such that we don't even know if low level radiation accelerates the ageing process.

Radiation in all forms is pollution and we need stricter pollution, or zero tolerance for pollution which is much more dangerous that speeding while driving though less obvious in its implications.

Avian flu virus learns to fly without birds' help

New Scientist article January 2013

Avian flu virus learns to fly without birds' help

A strain of bird flu that hit the Netherlands in 2003 travelled by air, a hitherto suspected by unproven route of transmission

POTENTIALLY fatal bird flu viruses can spread on the wind, a hitherto suspected but unproven route of transmission.

Usually, people catch bird flu through close physical contact with each other or, much more commonly, with infected poultry.

The newly identified capacity for wind to spread it opens up a potential route by which the viruses can spread between farms.

The finding came about after Dutch researchers studied an outbreak of the avian flu strain H7N7 in poultry on Dutch farms in 2003, which resulted in 89 confirmed human infections including one death.

Computer models showed that wind patterns at the time of the outbreak explain how different genetic variants of H7N7 ended up on different farms (Journal of Infectious Diseases, doi.org/j3b).

H5N1 is the most harmful strain of avian flu, having killed 360 of 610 infected people since it was discovered in 2003. The fact that a related strain can travel on the wind suggests that H5N1 can too, says Marion Koopmans of the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in Bilthoven, who coordinated the research project. "You must assume that this same potential is there for H5N1," she says.




West Antarctica is warming fast

January 2013 New Scientist

West Antarctica is warming fast
The vulnerable ice sheets of West Antarctica are warming as fast as anywhere else on Earth, threatening massive sea level rise

THE ice sheets of West Antarctica are warming much faster than we thought, suggesting swathes of it could melt and send global sea levels soaring.

Climatologists have struggled to work out whether Antarctica is warming, and how quickly, because it has few weather stations and the records from some are incomplete.

David Bromwich of Ohio State University in Columbus and his colleagues filled in the gaps for one key station using statistics and data from a climate model. They conclude that temperatures since 1958 have risen about 0.46 °C per decade – more than twice as fast as previously thought (Nature Geoscience, doi.org/j351).

But Michael Mann at Penn State University in University Park says that warmer ocean water flooding in underneath the sheet poses a greater threat.

BioInitiative 2012 Report Issues New Warnings on Wireless and EMF | EMFacts Consultancy

Only idiots or callous promotors of unsafe technology would ignore these warnings about cancer etc from wireless tools which are the tip of a very deep iceberg of instream damage, emerging tragic tales, like channel bison over the proverbial cliff! It will happen eventually, but in my view we should be beginning the switch asap!

Changing direction of communications technologies requires government intervention to establish the framework of discussions about the net human costs of wireless.

The rest of us are passive victims to idiot mentality that refuses to see their own perilous position as in the case of passive smoke inhilation! The key is to ban wireless communication substituting in the many safer and more effective ways to communicate electronically.

Probably, it is not that hard to rebuild our communications from innovation in wired technologies. There would be different players and governments would need to redirect r&d efforts!

We should just skip this generation of bad technologies, our wireless age, as a bad joke or a series of monster technological errors that have unmanageable human costs.

In any event, wired is significantly faster, more reliable, secure and economic .... In my humble opinion!

Re: Shoes in church



I showered and shaved.............. I adjusted my tie.

I got there and sat.............. In a pew just in time.

Bowing my head in prayer......... As I closed my eyes..

I saw the shoe of the man next to me..... Touching my own. I sighed.

With plenty of room on either side...... I thought, 'Why must our soles touch?'

It bothered me, his shoe touching mine... But it didn't bother him much.

A prayer began : 'Our Father'............. I thought, 'This man with the shoes, has no pride.

They're dusty, worn, and scratched. Even worse, there are holes on the side!'

'Thank You for blessings,' the prayer went on.

The shoe man said............... A quiet 'Amen.'

I tried to focus on the prayer....... But my thoughts were on his shoes again.

Aren't we supposed to look our best. When walking through that door?

'Well, this certainly isn't it,' I thought, Glancing toward the floor..

Then the prayer was ended........... And the songs of praise began.

The shoe man was certainly loud...... Sounding proud as he sang.

His voice lifted the rafters........ His hands were raised high.

The Lord could surely hear. The shoe man's voice from the sky.

It was time for the offering...... And what I threw in was steep.

I watched as the shoe man reached.... Into his pockets so deep.

I saw what was pulled out............ What the shoe man put in.

Then I heard a soft 'clink' . As when silver hits tin.

The sermon really bored me............ To tears, and that's no lie..

It was the same for the shoe man.... For tears fell from his eyes.

At the end of the service...... As is the custom here.

We must greet new visitors, And show them all good cheer.

But I felt moved somehow.............. And wanted to meet the shoe man.

So after the closing prayer........ I reached over and shook his hand.

He was old and his skin was dark..... And his hair was truly a mess.

But I thanked him for coming......... For being our guest.

He said, 'My names' Charlie............ I'm glad to meet you, my friend.'

There were tears in his eyes........ But he had a large, wide grin.

'Let me explain,' he said........... Wiping tears from his eyes.

'I've been coming here for months.... And you're the first to say 'Hi.''

'I know that my appearance............'Is not like all the rest.

'But I really do try.................'To always look my best.'

'I always clean and polish my shoes..'Before my very long walk.

'But by the time I get here..........'They're dirty and dusty, like chalk.'

My heart filled with pain.......... And I swallowed to hide my tears.

As he continued to apologize............ For daring to sit so near

He said, 'When I get here..............'I know I must look a sight.

'But I thought if I could touch you..'Then maybe our souls might unite.'

I was silent for a moment........... Knowing whatever was said

Would pale in comparison... I spoke from my heart, not my head.

'Oh, you've touched me,' I said......'And taught me, in part;

'That the best of any man...............'Is what is found in his heart.'

The rest, I thought,..................... This shoe man will never know.

Like just how thankful I really am... That his dirty old shoe touched my soul

You are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.
I respect you, and truly cherish you.

Send this to your friends,
No matter how often you talk,
Or how close you are,
And send it to the person who sent it to you.
Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.
Remember, everyone needs a friend..
Someday you might feel like you have no friends at all.
Just remember this e-mail and take comfort in knowing that
Someone out there cares about you.....

And always will.

Fwd: [Citizens For Safe Technology] Regarding the lengthy, costly, Interphone Study,...

My Comments before the link to Katz' comments! 

"Taxes on media providers and distributors need to be greatly increased to cover the decline in other industry!"

By some perverse realities those furthest from cell towers are likely to experience the greatest bursts of heavy radiation from using their own cell phones because more energy is required in use the cell phone antenna when further away from the mast!..... However, those close to cell towers are exposed longest to the stronger "I am here so find and use me" beacon! 

Possibly the solution is to effect a change in the beacon antenna technology so that it operates on a wake up basis rather than 'I am telling you where I am'! 

Saturation with wake up beacons might reduce radiation overall since it is the beacon radiation that permeates continuously our every fiber! 

So lets get the safest wakeable beacon and responder technology and require that the telecom companies install this technology. 

Radiation from cell phones in open air is about 15 centimeters and under that there is danger of stimulation of the amygdala cells which if cancerous could lead to mad people shooting up scores of schools!  Who is to say that the Connecticut massacre is not related to overstimulation of the perpetrator's amygdala? Needs research as much as gun legislation!

Similarly, in the home there is no sense in having a beacon radiation form of contamination! Force a change to safer WIFI technologies, ones that minimize amygdada stimulation?

If local authorities can't stop the spread of cell towers, they can alternatively really gear up to tax the hell out of unsafe antennas!  Put the unsafe antennas in such a high local tax bracket that they fail to cover implementation costs!

What remains is to rank antennas and forms of antenna use according to relative safety? Big task, but something an enlightened government could entertain! Heavy taxes on the huge profits of these companies would be fair because it would fall directly on users and providers.






Carl Katz 17 December 04:39
Regarding the lengthy, costly, Interphone Study, which found a significantly higher risk of glioma in those who used their phone for more than 30 minutes a day (what they call a "heavy user"?) for cell phone users who used their phone for more than ten years:

A friend of mine who has been analyzing cell phone and electromagnetic radiation studies for the past fifteen years told me a couple of years ago that the entire Interphone study and design study is inherently flawed.

You almost always hear the Interphone study quoted by the industry and media - no significant risk for anyone other than the group with over ten years of use.

What the studies designers failed to take into account was cordless home phone users - DECT phones - the study did not take into account if the person used cordless phones at home.

They are possibly more dangerous than cell phones because they transmit at full power for the entire duration of the conversation. Cell phones increase and decrease their power depending on how close the user is to a tower which is why the conventional wisdom is to not use your cell phone if you have one or two bars on the connection indicator.

By stark contrast, DECT cordless home phones do NOT decrease their power - the operate flat out at 100% power for the duration of the call no matter how close or far you are from the phone base. Add to that users who keep the base of the phone next to their bed exposing them for the entire duration of their sleep, you quickly start to see that the entire study is a joke.

To summarize, if someone who didn't use a cell phone but used a home cordless phone for several years and got a brain tumor, they skewed the entire study when they reported their cell phone use - they didn't use a cell phone and got a tumor.

It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
