My Daughter's School Apex Fun Run

My Daughter "Alexa" is participating in her schools Apex Fun Run which is set up for each individual grade (she is now in 2nd grade) to run at least 36 laps. This is her schools only fundraiser for the year. You can sponsor her by making a one-time single donation of any amount - or you can sponsor her "per lap" she completes. Ex: $1 per lap = $35 or $2 per lap = $70. Any way you choose the school wins.

 Go to the following Apex link, then put in this code: UGVGJOQ It is unique for Alexa Battros. Fill out the form, then select if it is "per lap" or "flat donation". You can write a personal note to Alexa if you wish, and lastly, you can select "pay now" (usually for flat donation) or "pay later" (usually for per-lap donation). APEX FUN RUN - http://apexfunrun.com

Here's the kicker - a good thing they limit sponsorship to the limit of 36 laps, because my little go getter ran 51 laps her first year and 53 laps her second year. Yes, she is the competitive type. Of course I'd like to say where she got it J - but I would say she has outperformed me at every age.

BREAKING NEWS: New Discoveries of Van Allen Belt and Earth's Magnetic Field

"The Sun has been a driver of these systems more than we had any right to expect," says Daniel Baker, Principal Investigator, Van Allen Probes Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (REPT). "We're seeing brand new features we hadn't expected." In a press conference on Dec. 4th members of the Van Allen Probes science team discussed current findings made in unlocking the mysteries of the radiation belts. Energetic events and ejections of plasma from the Sun caused dramatic changes in the radiation belts that, for the first time, were observed by twin spacecraft within the belts.

 

"We expected to see a fairly placid radiation belt system," Baker reports. "Instead, we see that the belts have been extraordinarily active and dynamic during the first few weeks. We're looking in the right places at the right times." The twin probes, built and managed for NASA by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., contain identical sets of five instrument suites. These suites have confirmed previous hypotheses about the belts' behavior, while also revealing that the belts are a far more dynamic and changing environment than previously thought.

 

New Equation:

Increase Charged Particles → Decreased Magnetic Field → Increase Outer Core Convection → Increase of Mantle Plumes → Increase in Earthquake & Volcanoes → Cools Mantle and Outer Core → Return of Outer Core Convection (Mitch Battros - July 2012)

Our planet's magnetosphere captures charged particles from the billions of tons of plasma ejected by the Sun and from other sources; fields and waves of electricity and magnetism control and guide the charged particles within the belts, with the particles "surfing" on the waves, losing or gaining large amounts of energy along the way as they enter and leave the region.

BREAKING NEWS: 774 AD Solar Blast 20x's Larger Than 'Carrington Event'

A new study just released indicates the June 2012 discovery by a team of Japanese scientists showing a spike in carbon-14 found in tree rings dating between 774-775 AD - was most likely caused by a CME (coronal mass ejection). Until now, the 1859 "Carrington Event" has been documented as the largest solar event to hit Earth ever recorded.

 

A research team lead by Adrian Melott, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kansas and Brian Thomas, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Washburn University, have examined the evidence and zeroed in on the likely source of the 774-775 AD carbon-14 event.

It was noted that recent observations of stars similar to the Sun made by the Kepler satellite suggest that they are flaring at levels similar to that which they suggest - and higher - at average intervals of a few hundred to thousand years.

 

This new discovery has been titled the "Charlemagne Event" - named after Charlemagne's victory over the Lombards during the same period. "What our team concluded was the Charlemagne Event would be 10 or 20 times greater than the Carrington Event of 1859".

BREAKING NEWS: Study Shows Black Holes Directed by Magnetic Fields

This new finding furthers ECMs new equation identifying a connection between our galaxy Milky Way, channeling charged particles in a narrow bands which would have a significant effect on our Sun, all planets in our solar system, and all that lives on them.

New Equation:

Increase Charged Particles -->Decreased Magnetic Field -->Increase Outer Core Convection -->Increase of Mantle Plumes -->Increase in Earthquake & Volcanoes -->Cools Mantle and Outer Core -->Return of Outer Core Convection (Mitch Battros - July 2012)

Once again, a feeling of accomplishment and free-floating-anxiety simultaneously engulf all my senses. Not necessarily a pleasant feeling - sometimes reflecting intense mood-swings. Why? Probably because of venturing into the unknown - or is it 'the known' - or maybe it's both at the same time.

Personal note: Remember, prophecy or prediction does not produce a regimented fate. In fact, the purpose of prophecy is to alter the outcome by empowering us with knowledge. But there is a catch. We have to make will thought-out choices and changes using our gift of discernment and for some of us, our 'learned' skill of critical thinking.

Advancing black holes produce intense radiation and powerful relativistic jets, which are affected by the black-hole's spin magnitude and direction. While thin disks might align with the black-hole spin axis via the Bardeen-Petterson effect, this does not apply to jet systems with thick disks.

A newly published study describes how astrophysicists used simulations, which follow both the rules of general relativity and the laws of magnetism, to demonstrate that gravity isn't the sole arbiter of a spinning black hole's behavior.  

Dr. Jonathan McKinney, professor of physics at the University of Maryland describes his team's findings: "We used fully three-dimensional general relativistic magneto-hydrodynamic simulations to study accreting black-holes with various black-hole spin vectors and disk thicknesses with magnetic flux reaching saturation. Our simulations reveal a "magneto-spin alignment" mechanism that causes magnetized disks and jets to align with the black-hole spin near black-holes and further away to reorient with the outer disk."

 

This mechanism has implications for the evolving of black-holes such as the one in our galaxy Milky Way and our neighbors Andromeda, SgrA* and M87.

JUST IN: NASA's Rover "Curiosity" Confirms Global Warming on Mars

NASA has found a secret underground subway system indicating Martians have been trying to hide their anthropogenic induced pollution causing an unexpected warming of Mars. Silly, isn't it....

 

Observations of wind patterns and natural solar radiation patterns on Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover are helping scientists better understand the environment on the Red Planet's surface. The daily cycle of higher pressure in the morning and lower pressure in the evening results from daytime heating of the atmosphere by the Sun.

 

Effects of that atmospheric tide show up in data from Curiosity's Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD). This instrument monitors high-energy solar radiation considered to be a health risk to astronauts and a factor in whether microbes could survive on Mars' surface. "We see a definite pattern related to the daily thermal tides of the atmosphere," said RAD Principal Investigator Don Hassler of the Southwest Research Institute Boulder, Colo., branch.

Hassler goes on to say: "The atmosphere provides a level of shielding, and so charged-particles are less when the atmosphere is thicker. Overall, Mars' atmosphere reduces the radiation dose compared to what we saw during the flight to Mars."

JUST IN: Cascadia Subduction Zone Hit with 6.3 Quake

This is deadly serious. The Cascadia Suduction Zone is susceptible to mega-quake measuring 9.0+ - and it is over due in its 300 year cycle. This is not a "warning" but an "alert". A Warning means it is inevitable - an Alert means it is between likely and probable.

 

No tsunami warning has been issued. The magnitude 6.3 quake hit just off the coast of Vancouver, British Columbia which sits at the northern end of the Cascadia Subduction Zone. There are no reports of damage or injuries at this time.

This furthers evidence of a solar-eclipse-earthquake-volcano concurrence which historically indicates a pattern of opportunity 14 days prior to the eclipse, and/or 14 days after the eclipse. I am going on record to suggest there will be more within the next 5 days.

Here are the stats:

Thursday, November 08, 2012 at 02:01:51 UTC. Wednesday, November 07, 2012 at 06:01:51 PM at epicenter Time of Earthquake in other Time Zones.

Location: 49.185°N, 128.528°W - Depth: 16.6 km (10.3 miles) - Region: Vancouver Island, Canada - Distances: 186 km (115 miles) SSW of Port Hardy, Canada, 255 km (158 miles) WSW of Campbell River, Canada, 262 km (162 miles) W of Courtenay, Canada, 271 km (168 miles) W of Port Alberni, Canada.

Here is some history:

The 1700 Cascadia Subduction Zone quake was a megathrust 9.1+ earthquake that occurred on January 26, 1700. The earthquake involved the Juan de Fuca Plate underlying the Pacific Ocean, from mid-Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, south along the Pacific Northwest coast as far as northern California, USA. The length of the fault rupture was about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) with an average slip of 20 meters (22 yards).

 

Geological evidence shows a tsunami took place traveling the length of the Pacific hitting Japan. It is yet unknown of an accurate account of the death and destruction of the Island.

 

BREAKING NEWS: Guatemala 7.4 Quake - Dozens Killed

'It has begun'. I posted an article yesterday showing historical evidence of a solar eclipse window which begins 14 days prior to the event, and 14 after. In an upcoming article, I will describe what the possible reasons would be for a solar eclipse to set off earthquakes and volcanoes.

 

Read This: Total Solar Eclipse Nov. 13th - Will Earthquakes Follow?

Personal Note: It is for reasons like this - that I am hopeful we can reach our goal to make the ECM news service free to everyone. I need you to do this. We need to get a significant boost to the Awards Program. The result of success will mean thousands of people who cannot afford to support us - will finally have access to the most important news,  research, and discoveries which is currently shifting scientific awareness into a partially known and mostly 'unknown' reality.

If you have the means to help others, now is the time to come forward. By selecting the Royalty, Platinum, Gold, or Silver you will be helping hundreds with just your one pledge alone.  (see more below)  

Thirty-nine people have been killed and many more are missing after a 7.4-magnitude quake hit off the Guatemala's Pacific coast. The director of Guatemala's Seismological Institute, Eddy Sanchez, said it had been the biggest tremor in Guatemala since 1976, when 25,000 people died in 7.5-magnitude quake.

Guatemala President Otto Perez Molina, declared a national alert and advised people to evacuate tall buildings as a precaution. Officials said landslides had buried roads and it would take 24 hours to restore links to the quake-hit area.

 

Frightened people fled from offices and homes around the region, as buildings shook from Mexico City to San Salvador. Quake officials said the tremor hit at about 10:35 local time (16:35 GMT) about 23km (15 miles) from the Guatemalan town of Champerico.

President Perez Molina has given several news conferences, each time raising the number of casualties. He was touring the affected area and said 39 deaths had now been confirmed in what he called a tragedy - and 100 people were missing and 155 injured.

The national voluntary fire service gave details on its Twitter feed of the damage across the San Marcos region, describing how firefighters had pulled five bodies from the rubble, including that of an 11-year-old boy.

Fourteen houses have been destroyed in Quetzaltenango, a city that houses dozens of language schools popular with tourists. Shelters have been opened for those whose homes have been destroyed.

Mitch Battros Interviewed on GAIAM TV

"Climate, Sun-Earth Connection, Galaxy, and Mayans"

Is it possible that galactic and solar events are exerting an impact on Earth's climate far more than any human activities? And is it possible that these celestial events are affecting us in many more ways than just the climate? Finally, is it possible that ancient cultures, such as the Mayans, anticipated these changes?

 

In a far-ranging conversation that travels to the center of our galaxy and back, scientific journalist and crisis intervention specialist Mitch Battros describes the connection between what happens on the Sun and what happens on the Earth. He speaks about the impact of solar radiation on the Earth - not just climate, but Earth's magnetic field, and, in turn, all life on Earth. And he talks about an alignment of our solar system in the galaxy, and a beam of galactic particles that may bring significant change.

Precursors to a Magnetic Shift: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Extreme Weather

Most of this research is spoken in "scientificeese" so I will do my best to make it understandable to most. What is transpiring is the awakening of a new science era. With new space instruments of crafts and satellites - along with new geological drilling of oceans floors which includes new instrumentation to observer Earth's outer core, mantle, lithosphere, and crust - an encompassed multi-disciplinary reservoir of data has brought forth the most competent consummation of the Sun-Earth connection.

What we are witnessing is the precursor's in-motion of a very natural event the Earth has seen many times before. Ancient text suggests several of our ancestral tribes knew of these cycles-of-events, and tried their best to convey such wisdom through the language of their time. Some would say they went far beyond their 'in-time' ability to communicate, and used symbols, math, and science to tell their story.

Well finally, we may have grown enough as a culture (scientifically speaking) to comprehend what has been known for millennia. Unfortunately, one might suggest we as a culture have fallen way short of our innate human-sensory evolution. Our thwarted sense of who we are - and dimmed recognition of our generational genetic history has been all but lost. But I am eternally hopeful this could change and change fast.

Perhaps the consolidation of ancient wisdom - described in ancient books and symbols all of which point to this moment-in-time of which describes a time of "transition". There is one other uniformed description which appears universally among all tribes: "It will come from the sky".

Now for a bit of 'scientificeese'

I will come forward and say, the recent earthquake swarm in So. California now numbering over 300 and is expected to continue for several days, is a consequence of the Earth's shifting outer core, mantle, lithosphere, and crust. Furthermore, I would say Sunday's 7.4 quake off the coast of El Salvador is also connected. And perhaps the most extreme supposition I will make, is the four current hurricanes Isaac, Ileana, Bolaven, and Tembin are all related to the current in-action precursor's to a full magnetic shift.

The Science Behind My Claim

In the science community it is called the study of 'Margins', sometimes referred to as boundaries. Plate margins is the area where two or more continental or oceanic plates meet. There are four types of plate margins; destructive, constructive, collision, and conservative. The type most vulnerable to magnetic shifts are the destructive and constructive.

Ongoing studies supported by the NSF (National Science Foundation) indicate a connection between submarine troughs (rifts), Earth's mantle, and Earth's outer core. Furthermore, new research indicates the shifting of magnetic flux via Earth's magnetic field, has a direct and symbiotic relationship to Earth's outer core, mantle, lithosphere, and crust.

As a living entity, Earth fights for its survival. If internal or external events begin to throw Earth out of balance i.e. orbital, tilt, or magnetic alignment - it begins to correct itself. When oceanic tectonic subductions occur, it cools the mantle and outer core. To balance this shift in temperatures, the Earth's core increases heat and as a result released what is known as "mantle plumes". These plumes filled with super-heated liquid rock float up to the ocean bottom surface.

This action both cools the outer core and heats the oceans. As a result of heated oceans, we get tropical storms and various forms of extreme weather. When troughs, subduction zones, and rifts shift, as a result of convection, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes occur.

What makes this all work is the Earth's magnetic field. Right now the magnetic field is weakening significantly. This will continue until it reaches zero point, at which time there will be a full magnetic reversal. Until this time, we will witness magnetic north bouncing in the northern hemisphere. Closer to the moments of a full reversal, we will see magnetic north drop down to/then below the equator.

As a result of a weakened magnetic field, larger amounts of radiation via charged particles such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, gamma rays, and galactic cosmic rays - are more abundantly reaching Earth's atmosphere and having a heightened reaction with Earth's core layers. This is what causes looped reaction. Radiation heats the core layers, the outer core reacts by producing 'mantle plumes', which causes crustal fracturing, which then causes earthquakes, volcanoes, heated oceans - all of which cools the outer core.

This seemingly repeating loop will continue until the Earth will once again find its balance. Until then, we can expect naturally occurring earth changing events which will produce the loss of mass in some parts of the world, and emergence of mass in other parts. Maybe this is the time to change the things we can (attitude, environment, community, self, surroundings), one would be a fool not to apply themselves within their means - but then there is the time to loosen up a bit, know what is happening is just part of a process.

Just as the Earth, we humans can just keep on trucking, and maybe, just maybe, some will simply 'enjoy-the-ride'.

(Part III) What Are the Effects to Animals and Humans?

What happens to animals and humans during the process leading to a full magnetic flip? First, remember it is a process which takes a few thousand years. With each passing decade, the intensity increases as the Earth's magnetic field decreases. Current data suggests we are far along the process with just a few decades away from a full reversal.

This would suggest we are deep into the cycle, and far enough along (perhaps within the next couple of decades) to witness (and sense) magnetic north bouncing around the northern hemisphere above 60° latitude and swing between 30° east and 30° west longitudes. Furthermore, there will be some of you who are young enough to witness a more pronounced swing in both latitude and longitude within the next 50-60 years.

There currently is not enough statistics to say how fast the end swings occur just prior to a full reversal. What has been documented is the closer to zero point, the faster the swings occur. I would be surprised it the final episode happened within the next century - but who knows?

The fact remains - WE humans and animals will feel the effects NOW. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) depending on your experience - almost all humans have been so dumbed down by our environment and technology - having dulled are innate senses - leaving our animal friends to be way ahead of us and are now feeling the effects to a heightened degree.

 - Earth's Magnetic Ley-Lines

Due to the increasing geomagnetic transitional period as described above,magnetic ley-lines are reorienting into various and unpredictable north-south east-west zones. For migrating species, the problem appears to be worsening, causing great concern to biologists and zoologist. Increasing numbers of whales and dolphins are also getting disoriented to the point where they get stranded in shallows. Mammals that have been rescued and directed back to sea are found stranded once again, sometimes on the same beach, as if being guided.

It is now known that migrant species such as birds, sea turtles, dolphins, whales, several fish species such as salmon and trout, possess a mineral called magnetite. Experiments in a controlled environment have definitively proven the existence of an internal compass. Species that rely on Earth's magnetic field are expected to go through a period of chaos of which many species may not survive.

Scientific records from deep sea core samples which include "faunal", suggest historical geomagnetic reversals appear to co-exist with period extinctions. Today, as the chaotic shifting of the geomagnetic field increases, disorientation among these creatures is escalating at an alarming pace.

 - More About Us Humans

As part of a recent team of scientists whose research has been published in the scientific journal 'Nature', Dr. Oleg Shumilov made the following statement: "If animals can sense the Earth's magnetic field; so why not people." Perhaps his findings are somehow related to a human's reaction to "disorientation".

Lead researcher Robert J. Gegear, from the Department of Neurobiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School highlights their findings: "Our study suggests humans may be genetically pre-disposed to the influence by geomagnetic flux as it relates to the Earth's magnetic field and charged particles such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, gamma rays, and galactic cosmic rays."

There is consistent evidence of an influence of geomagnetic fields to the human visual system. Moreover, it has been proposed recently that light-sensitive magnetic responses are not only used for directional information, but may also aid in a visual sense-of-direction.

The pineal gland, which regulates melatonin production and the circadian 24 hour rhythm, is sensitive to magnetic fields. Dr. Kelly Posner, a psychiatrist at Columbia University says: "The most plausible explanation for the association between geomagnetic activity and human disturbance is that geomagnetic displacement can desynchronize circadian rhythms and melatonin production."
