We're in the Whallop

We're in the whallop of the energy now, and that's all I'm going to say.
It is difficult not to categorize it as positive or negative. But it is a whallop.
Energy shift will occur on L'ag B'Omer, the 33rd day of the Omer. L'ag B'Omer is Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai's death anniversary. Today is day 26. It is experiential.

Good dolphin story in the news. It doesn't surprise me at all. As the concealed continues to become the revealed, we are going to see a lot more. How dare we humans be so high and mighty as to sincerely believe we are the be all and end all?

Dolphins 'have their own names'

Dolphins communicate like humans by calling each other by "name", scientists in Fife have found.

The mammals are able to recognise themselves and other members of the same species as individuals with separate identities, using whistles.

St Andrews University researchers studying in Florida discovered bottlenose dolphins used names rather than sound to identify each other.

The three-year-study was funded by the Royal Society of London.

Dr Vincent Janik, of the Sea Mammal Unit at St Andrews University, said they conducted the research on wild dolphins.

I think it is a very exciting discovery because it means that these animals have evolved the same abilities as humans
Dr Vincent JanikSt Andrews University said: "We captured wild dolphins using nets when they came near the shore.

"Then in the shallow water we recorded their whistles before synthesising them on a computer so that we had a computer voice of a dolphin.

"Then we played it back to the dolphins and we found they responded. This showed us that the dolphins know each other's signature whistle instead of just the voice.

"I think it is a very exciting discovery because it means that these animals have evolved the same abilities as humans.

"Now we know they have labels for each other like we do."

The research was conducted in Sarasota Bay off Florida's west coast.

The findings are published in the US journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)

Dolphins also have consciouness of self. The research is going on in Florida. I'll have to surf it. Maybe I should move to Sarasota. :P

Plankton blooms linked to quakes

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4750557.stm

Phytoplankton blooms can be seen from space

Concentrations of the natural pigment chlorophyll in coastal waters have been shown to rise prior to earthquakes.

These chlorophyll increases are due to blooms of plankton, which use the pigment to convert solar energy to chemical energy via photosynthesis.

A joint US-Indian team of researchers analysed satellite data on ocean coastal areas lying near the epicentres of four recent quakes.

Details of the research appear in the journal Advances in Space Research.

They say that monitoring peaks in chlorophyll could provide early information on an impending earthquake.

{Because everything exists if you see as the sea sees, even the answers exist. }

The authors say the chlorophyll blooms are linked to a release of thermal energy prior to an earthquake.

This causes the sea surface temperature to rise and increases the surface latent heat flux - the amount of energy moving from the surface to the air due to evaporation.

And in turn, there is enhanced upwelling - the process by which cold, nutrient-rich water is transported from the deep sea to the surface.

In bloom

Upwelling boosts phytoplankton productivity and gives rise to blooms, which can be seen as increased concentrations of chlorophyll, specifically, the type called chlorophyll-a.
The grinding of plate tectonics essentially couples the temperature of the land with that of the ocean, creating the conditions for plankton to thrive.

The 6.9 magnitude Gujarat quake caused widespread devastation

"I do not think scientists expected such anomalous behaviour of [chlorophyll-a]," co-author Dr Ramesh Singh of the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur, India, said.

"If the epicentre of a quake lies very close to the coast then anomalous [chlorophyll-a] concentrations are clearly visible along that coast."

The researchers used as case studies four recent earthquakes in Gujarat, India (2001), Algeria (2002), the Andaman Islands (2002) and Bam, Iran (2003).

Using satellite images and measurements of sea temperatures, they found a correlation between peaks in chlorophyll and proximity to an impending earthquake.

The amount of "advance notice" depended on the ocean depth and proximity to the epicentre of the quake, with the second factor taking precedence.

In the event of heavy cloud cover preventing satellites from monitoring chlorophyll production, sea temperatures could serve as a parallel means of information on impending earthquakes, argue the researchers.

coolness. chlorophyll predicts earthquakes.

I'm grateful for the intensity of the energy now. It is needed. No complacency during the month of Iyar allowed. But I do tend to drive myself wacko. In actuality, what I'm doing is giving myself added resistance, as if enuff weren't enuff. Intensity. Alway so intense. Sighs. And Extreme. Always intensly extreme am I. So I go off to the sea and I see, and I can deal with myself for a while longer.
