Cycles in earth changing events

Tuesday over 50 devastating tornadoes riped through the US southern states. Today (Wednesday)two volcanoes are erupting Thursday we will witness an annular solar eclipse. This will be followed by a 'full lunar eclipse' on February 21.Is there cause for concern? The 'science of cycles' suggests there certainly might be. I would suggest this would be a time of extra caution. History tells us there is always a significant earth changing event i.e. earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes (14 days prior to and 14 days after) a full lunar eclipse. Past evidence. Below is a list of dates of 'full lunar eclipse' from 2001 to 2011. According to past events The "science of cycles" tells us we should in fact witness escalated earth changes over the next 24 day period (give or take a few days).In America storm fatality Continues to Rise. America's Super Tuesday was spoiled by more than 50 tornadoes that hit the southern States and caused at least 45 casualties plus hundreds of wounded. The most serious toll was suffered in Tennessee (26 dead). Arkansas 13 dead, Kentucky 7 and Alabama 1.
Ecuador's Tungurahua Volcano Erupts, Prompts Evacuation Order for 3,000
Chile Volcano Spits Out Lava, Experts Warn of More
Chile's Llaima, one of South America's most active volcanoes, belched ash and a nearly mile-long river of lava crept down its slopes on Wednesday as geologists warned activity could intensify. Columns of ash and smoke rose from the crater, some of them as high as 16,400 feet (5,000 metres) above the volcano that is located 435 miles (700 km) south of the capital Santiago.
Looking at history and the scientific evidence of "cycles" and in this case as it relates to "full lunar events".Here are the dates of a 'full lunar eclipse' from 2001 to 2011

And here is what happened: The following events occurred within two weeks prior and/or two weeks after the last seven full lunar eclipse.January 25 2001 - (India) A magnitude 7.6 earthquake shook the Indian Province of Gujarat. It was one of the two most deadly earthquakes to strike India in its recorded history. The death toll was 19,727, number of injured at 166,000, over 600,000 people were left homeless, with 348,000 houses destroyed and an additional 844,000 damaged.
May 2 2003 - (Turkey) At least 176 people have died and 521 people were injured after a magnitude 6.4 earthquake that shook the eastern Turkey?s Bingol province. Several public buildings collapsed in the centre of Bingol city and its vicinity. May 21 2003 - (Algiers) A strong earthquake measuring 6.8 magnitude struck the coastal region east of Algiers and the Tell Atlas mountains of Algeria. 2,251 people died, another 1,200 missing, 10,243 were injured and 200,000 made homeless.May 26 2003 A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit northern Japan, however, there were no casualties and very few people were injured due to the depth (about 44 miles underground) of the epicenter of the earthquake.November 17 2003 - (Alaska) A 7.8 earthquake hits Aleutian Islands, Alaska; tsunami warning issued.April 2004 - (United States) Yellowstone Super Volcano experienced over 400 quakes within three days. This type of increase in earthquake activity is called a "swarm". Parts of the caldera were closed to the public with areas of surface temperatures reaching over 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Some reports were telling of the sole of on-lookers shoes were melting just prior to the area's closing.October 23 2004 - (Japan) A series of powerful earthquakes the strongest with a magnitude of 6.7 jolted northern Japan, killing at least 30 people and injuring more than 2000 people largely as the result of building collapse. Thousands of landslides were triggered by the earthquakes and aftershocks with much associated damage to roads, agricultural fields, and residential.
March 3 2007 - Two strong earthquakes shook the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra on Tuesday, killing at least 70 people, 460 serious injuries have been reported, spread across many towns and regencies in West Sumatra. Over 43,000 houses were damaged.August 15 2007 - Large 8.0 earthquake hits Peru. Over 514 died, with 1,090 injured, and around 40,035 families rendered homeless. A further 30,542 families have been affected.
Addendum
as I'm blogging here I can hear a long low deep rumble. there are no trucks going by or planes flying over or thunder rolling. I don't know what is causing the sound.

Tornados USA/torrential downpours Australia

Historic Outbreak of Extremely Dangerous
Tornadoes is Primed to Erupt by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media feb5
Beginning late today a severe outbreak of tornadoes is likely across a widespread area from Arkansas to Ohio. By Wednesday, the strong storms will reach the East Coast.Storms similar to those that normally occur in middle to late spring will erupt late today along and ahead of a cold front separating warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and a cold air mass moving across the country.This is the first time in ten years that a high risk alert has been issued in the month of February. The Severe Weather Center lists the storm-related watches and warnings in effect across the Southeast and the mid-South states.This has the potential to be a very dangerous situation, especially overnight. Anyone in the threat zone should monitor media outlets for weather alerts and should be prepared to evacuate or take precautionary action at a moment's notice.

And in Australia we have storms and floods.
Lightning has struck a power station in Sydney's south, leaving tens of thousands without electricity as a wild storm dumped more than 30mm of rain over parts of the city.The NSW Fire Brigades said the lightning bolt hit a transformer at Menai power station about 1.10pm (AEDT).Fire crews isolated the burning 132 kilovolt transformer from the power grid and used carbon dioxide to smother the flames.Energy Australia said the single lightning strike had temporarily cut off power to 15,000 people in the Sutherland area.A further 26,000 on Sydney's northern beaches also lost electricity due to lightning strikes as thunderstorms and heavy rain swept north towards the Hunter region. more than 30mm of rain in half an hour had been recorded at Peakhurst, Woronora Dam and Lucas Heights.Residents of Sydney's western suburbs, where some 7,000 homes are still under tarpaulins awaiting repairs of storm damage earlier this summer, faced further damage with the sudden appearance of storm cells over the area.The State Emergency Service (SES) issued a warning to stay away from creeks and storm drains and not to walk, ride bikes or drive through floodwater.The SES also advised the public to unplug computers and appliances, avoid using phones during the storm, stay indoors away from windows, and keep children and pets indoors.
Mr Phillips said the storms had resulted from a humid air mass meeting a southerly change and had intensified due to the presence of colder air in the upper atmosphere.

Blue Eyes, baby's got blue eyes

All blue-eyed people can be traced back to one ancestor who lived 10,000 years ago near the Black Sea. Throughout history they have been the eyes that are prized. According to a team of researchers from Copenhagen University, a single mutation which arose as recently as 6-10,000 years ago was responsible for all the blue-eyed people alive on Earth today. The team, whose research is published in the journal Human Genetics, identified a single mutation in a gene called OCA2, which arose by chance somewhere around the northwest coasts of the Black Sea in one single individual, about 8,000 years ago. The gene does not "make" blue in the iris; rather, it turns off the mechanism which produces brown melanin pigment. "Originally, we all had brown eyes," says Dr Hans Eiberg, who led the team. And most people still do. The finding that a rare mutation, probably dispersed in the rapid wave of colonisation that followed the end of the last ice age, highlights one of the great mysteries of human evolution: the oddness of Europeans. Those from Europe and the Near-East have many characteristics that set them apart from the rest of the human race. Not only are Europeans far more likely to have blue eyes (95 per cent in some Scandinavian countries), they also have a far greater range of skin tones and hair colour than any other ethnic grouping. it is only in Europe that you will find large numbers of blondes and redheads, brunettes, pale skins and olive skins, blueeyed and green-eyed people living together in the same communities. Across the rest of the world people are almost uniformly darkhaired and dark-eyed. One theory is that Europe's cold weather and dark skies played a part. Fair skin is better at making Vitamin D from the 8 per cent of the world's population have blue eyes weak sunlight found in northern latitudes.Perhaps the most plausible theory is that blonde hair and blue eyes arose because of a mechanism called sex selection. This is where males and females choose as their mates those who have one unusual physical characteristic, not necessarily associated with "fitness" per se but simply something unusual. Sex selection comes to the fore when there is a lot of competition for mates of one sex or the other. The theory is that in Europe, where men had to spend weeks at a time out on the hunt, males were in very short supply. In such societies, women who had flaxen locks stood a better chance of standing out and attracting the attention of the few men that would have been available for mating.

Sun cycles and jet streams

Recent studies show El Nino cycles to be in line with the Sun's cycles. NOAA's latest research shows a 4-6 year El Nino oscillation which is in perfect rhythm with the Sun's 11 year solar cycle. Solar cycle is 4-6 years to "maximum" and 4-6 years "minimum". El Nino and La Nina are driven by "jet streams". Jet streams drive ocean currents. Shifting ocean currents cause "extreme weather".
ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation) is a coupled ocean-atmosphere effect that has a sweeping influence on weather around the world. Scientists found that during El Nino winters, the position of the jet stream is altered from its normal position and, in the U.S., storm activity tends to be more intense in several regions: the West Coast, Gulf States and the Southeast.
A just released study by NOAA , University of Colorado at Boulder lead researcher Amy Solomon, and CIRES (Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences), has confirmed this integral connection between ocean and jet stream currents perpetrated by charged particles.Researcher Amy Solomon says: "Earlier climate studies suggest that the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which affects weather around the world, evolves independently of interannual-to-decadal North Pacific Ocean climate variability. Our study shows that the two are really quite connected through a large-scale 'atmosphere-ocean tropical-subtropical feedback loop.' In other words shifting jet streams dictate shifting ocean currents.Solomon's study is the first to separate feedbacks one at a time in an atmosphere-ocean coupled model. Through this process, Solomon and her colleagues found a clear extra-tropical signal in the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle.
NOAA/Solomon's study suggests the mechanism that connects the two latitudinal regions is an ocean subduction zone, around 30 degrees North, where water sinks and moves south until it rises again at the equator. The subduction is caused by wind stress where the tropical easterlies meet the mid-latitude westerlies."When we didn't allow the northern Pacific to interact with the equatorial Pacific area, we observed a sharp 2-year ENSO cycle, with El Ninos happening every other year, which is not what we see in real life. By adding in the extra-tropical feedback, we produced a more realistic 4-6 year ENSO cycle, with El Ninos occurring every few years," explained Solomon.NOAA's and Solomon's team as outlined above - shows their equation to match with solar cycles. It takes 4-6 years to reach solar "maximum", and 4-6 years to reach solar "minimum".
So what is driving the ocean currents to shift, which is what we know as Southern Oscillation? Simply put - 'shifting ocean currents'. But what causes the shifting of ocean currents? Well, it appears to be winds. Not just jet stream winds, but also 'solar winds'. What has been found is when the Earth's magnetic field shifts, it simultaneously causes a shift in ocean and jet streams. How is the Sun causing the ocean currents to shift? Turns out it's the Sun's impact on the Earth's magnetic field that has a causal effect on the Earth's ocean currents. So could this be the driving force behind shifting ocean currents? Batross reported "Complex and distorted magnetic fields travel with the CME cloud and sometimes interact with the Earth's own magnetic field to pour tremendous amounts of energy into the space near Earth." End result: turbulence in the atmosphere and water.

Mars Rover Spirit



This image was taken by the Mars Rover Spirit last November. The fact that it appears to be a figure of some sort is being dismissed by planetologists as an example of pareidolia, the human tendency to unconsciously construct apparent human images out of random forms that suggest them. It's quite small, just a few feet from Spirit, but it is a powerful reminder of how little we actually know about Mars, and the dismissive reaction in the scientific blogospher e is a warning that, if we don't keep an open mind about the red planet's anomalies, we are never going to understand. The problem with the discovery of an object like this is that, if it is a statue or even a living creature, it calls many cherished theories into question, and that is going to result in resistance. So what is certainly one of the strangest photos ever taken by one of the rovers is going to be tossed onto the scientific dustbin without serious study, or dismissed as a trick of light and forgotten.
Given the fact that the one consistent cycle in UFO sightings is that they increase when Mars is close to Earth, as has been happening recently, it is interesting that this and other extremely unusual images have been returned by the rovers are being ignored. However, the same scientific community that dismisses these images out of hand also claims, incorrectly, that there is no physical evidence of UFOs. There is extensive evidence, ranging from millions of sighting and close encounter reports, to unexplained materials and implants that have been extracted from witnesses and in some cases carefully researched, and photographs and videos that cannot be dismissed.

Another one of the many anomalous images collected by the rovers and dismissed without comment is this apparent "log" on the surface. It's another odd rock, supposedly. It is only one of many ignored and unexplained features, the totality of which suggest that there is something important about the red planet that we are missing, or refusing to acknowledge.

an invasion of freedom

Microsoft Files for a Remote Mind-Reading Patent
Microsoft has filed for a patent for a device that would measure workers' mental and physical well-being wirelessly and be capable of reporting on their condition in the workspace.
The device uses a camera system to monitor numerous physiological signals, and could also be used in cars to monitor drivers awareness, or anywhere that monitoring might be needed. Conceivably, it could be used to monitor public areas and evaluate the mental state of travelers, in order to target individuals who seem nervous or stressed for more careful scrutiny.
It is another in a long list of devices that are challenging individual privacy as never before.

Solar cycle 24 in more detail

Scientists have gone on record to predict "the next solar cycle will be up to 50 percent stronger than the previous." (NASA)It is known as Cycle 24 and is expected to be as much as 50 percent stronger than its predecessor C-23. There has been ongoing debate whether Cycle 24 began on July 1st 2006, or began January 4th 2008. What determines a new solar cycle is when the first sunspot distributes a 'reverse' magnetic field. Over the last several months, the sunspot and solar activity have been extremely mild. This is known as 'solar minimum'. From this point on, solar activity will begin to ramp up with more significant activity becoming noticeable by the end of this year.Cycle 23 introduced us to the largest solar flare "ever recorded". On November 4th 2003 a solar flare coming from just around the western limb of the Sun exploded. It was measured as an X-40. Until this moment, nothing had measured past an X-9. (at least since instruments were developed to measure). The strength of this event measured an X-40, of which such strength had never been witnessed or anticipated. Even to this day we can only speculate the damage it would have caused to our power grids, satellites, GPS, and any number of devices which depend on communication or directional satellites. Also note Cycle 24's 'apex' (maximum) occurs between 2011 and 2012. I suggest our Mayan elders knew of this all along and is in association with Mayan prophecy and calendar.
Solar Storm Warning: You Have One Year or Less to Prepare. The american federal government now predicts a new cycle of solar storms will begin to intensify by spring (in the northern hemisphere, autumn in the southern hemisphere) 2008. By this time we will start to see larger and possibility of dangerous consequences. The new set of storms are expected to peak around the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012. That's the conclusion of some scientists at NASA and NOAA.Solar storms lead to violent eruptions on the Sun's surface. There'll be solar flares and explosions sending highly charged matter toward Earth's atmosphere. This jolts Earth's geomagnetic field and ionosphere. That can lead to disruption of electric grids and communications systems.
