7 January 2012Increased brain tumours from mobile phones - important new study
January 6, 2012. It is turning out not to be a good year for mobile phone users and for the naysayers who are trying to convince everyone that mobile phones are safe.
The long-awaited Cardis study, published January 2, 2012 in Occupational Environmental Medicine, concludes that there is an increased risk of glioma (a type of brain tumor) in long-term mobile phone users with high RF (radio frequency) exposure and a lower risk for meningioma (a tumor of the membrane surrounding the brain). Indeed the risk for meningiomas was statistically significant in one analysis (after 7-years for group with highest exposure that included 21 cases and 51 controls).
This study, unlike other studies, attempted to estimate the amount of radiation at the site of the tumour.

Toronto Hydro at a breaking point: steep rate rise or brownouts
Half of the components are beyond their life expectancy. The other half will reach that point within a decade.
Why would Toronto Hydro spend huge amounts of money installing smart meters, when the rest of their system is falling apart?

Wind Turbine Health Effects
January 5, 2012. With growing concern about climate change, the carbon budget, depletion of fossil fuels, air pollution from dirty coal, radiation from nuclear power plants, and the need for a secure energy supply, more attention and funding are being diverted to renewable energy. Among the various types of renewable energy, wind has received a lot of attention, in part, due to opposition from communities earmarked for wind turbines and from communities that have experienced wind turbines firsthand.
Some people who live near wind turbines report difficulty sleeping and various symptoms of ill health and attribute these problems to noise and shadow flicker—two elements they can perceive. Indeed the U.S. National Research Council (Risser et al., 2007) identify noise and shadow flicker as the two key impacts of wind turbines on human health and well-being.
However, it is much more complicated then that. In addition to noise and shadow flicker, infra-sound (low frequency vibrations that we cannot hear), dirty electricity, and ground current can all contribute to ill health near wind turbines. Since sensitivity to sound vibrations and electromagnetic waves varies from person to person, not everyone in the same home responds the same way.
With a growing interest in renewable forms of energy, the technology has to be not only energy efficient but also human friendly.
A paper on wind turbines by Magda Havas and David Colling's has just been published.

Birds and Electromagnetic Fields
The 16 page chapter XI, "Communication In Bird Flocks: An Electromagnetic Model", by Frank H. Heppner & John D Haffner, the book "Biologic & Clinical Effects of Low Frequency Magnetic & Electric Fields", by J. G. Llaurado, A Sances, Jr., & J.H. Battocletti, Charles C. Thomas Pub., Sprngfield, IL, 1974, from the International Symposium and Workshop, Feb 1973, In Aspen CO. (I have a chapter in Part 1 and a co-chapter in Part 5)
The species of birds reacting now are mentioned in the book above. The regular spacing of certain species of bird flocks and turning at the same instant (without colliding!) was well documented 38 yrs ago and Reference 20 of the 24 references is about "Non-Thermal Effects of Microwave Radiation On Birds" in Nature 216:1139, 1967
Interesting how long this info has been around about EMF effects on birds....and now we have the problems of migratory bird confusion around cell towers and flocks of starlings and blackbirds diving into the ground or crashing into buildings at various places around the world (Stuttgart Germany about 2008). Also, there was a small number of birds who crashed as a group, in an area of Austin, TX a few years back.... parasite problems were mentioned??!!. ..all at the same time!!....(come on! Get Real!) now we have bees to add to the situation. Both of these creatures (and many others) navigate by sensing each other and geoelectromagnetic (GEM) sensing of earth frequencies, wave forms, rise times and other natural environmental phenomena, which we are polluting wholesale....swamping the natural signals.
Most of the signals are variations in low frequency levels, especially those of changing fast rise time (spikey stuff) and square wave......think natural earth GEMs related to earthquake, storms, sudden weather changes, lightning, etc......all life on earth responds (think survival), based on species requirements, to the signals from the environment....even humans!
With cell phones, cell towers, dish transmitter towers, routers and other microwave devices broadcasting frequencies which sometimes coincide with survival (fight or flight) low-frequency signals of a particular species, (and swamp or cancel out the critical signal), it is no wonder we have confusion! Keep in mind that, while microwave is in the billions of cycles and low frequency signals are generally below 1,000 cycles, it is the low frequency signals (voice, videos, etc.) carried by the microwave, that seem to be causing the problems.....and the microwave has its own non-thermal effects to consider.....perhaps two cell tower beams (or more likely the dish transmitter towers tight beam) can intersect carrying the same microwave and low frequency signals, creating 'constructive' interference amplifying the signal even more?Perhaps the problem at midnight on New Years Eve is the broadcast of the same music frequencies over hundreds of towers at the same time!! (Ole Lang Syne, for example?!) and the bird flocks get caught in the middle of it.....
Check this bird swarm out: (as an aspect of 'group mind'??....oh, BTW many other species "move as one mind" touched off by one or several environmental cues......fish schools. animal migration, lemmings, insect swarms, etc):
