"Having Trouble With Cable T.V. & Internet Connections Lately? You're Not Crazy" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry Resident Nerd'

Dear Ones:

     Yes, you may have noticed that 'satellite dependent' transmissions have been disrupted lately.

     Your cable t.v. has been 'going black', then back 'on'.  

     Sometimes you have to 'reboot' it...and/or your computer...completely.

     Your favorite movies and shows become suddenly 'pixelated' in some kind of frenzied mosaic accompanied by sci-fi-sounding fun-house voices.

     VERY ANNOYING!

courtesy http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/pro_3d.html

     Your 'viewing experience' having been totally ruined, you may have even resorted to (egads!) reading BOOKS or doing something around the house or garden!

     Or maybe you've been having trouble 'getting a signal' with your cell phone. 

     Maybe your phone transmission is so poor lately that you've been forced to use (egads, again!) a land line and are even considering getting a HEARING AID!

     These things are enough to think you're going crazy.

     Well, you're not going crazy. probably : )

     Simply put, proton activity has spiked (see graph above) due to increased solar activity.  In other words, the sun has been throwing off all kinds of energy, which you understand if you've been following my TUTORIALS (click on keyword 'tutorials' below).

 courtesy http://www.amazing-animations.com

     One of the kinds of energy is a barrage of protons which are responsible for interfering with satellite transmissions, ergo the inconsistent satellite-dependent SERVICES!

     Check out the current chart/list of 'space weather warnings' right now:

     As you can see above, the 'proton problem' is deemed to be a persistent one.
     And as if that weren't bad enough, look at the 'electron flux' status, below:

     And let us 'see' how the earth's magnetic field has been 'jogged' by all this unstable space weather:

      courtesy http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/mag_3d.html
           The really 'crazy' thing about all this, is that there are reputable space scientists who, for whatever reasons, are unwilling or unable to put 'two and two' together for us.

 courtesy http://www.amazing-animations.com

     They simply WILL NOT ALWAYS ADMIT that there is a direct correlation between the situation on the SUN and our weather and other events here on earth!

     I thank God for those scientists who DO speak to the people, because otherwise you would be forced to rely upon 'armchair astrophysicists' like myself, who study this stuff for fun. 

courtesy http://www.amazing-animations.com

     I think that if there is a lesson here beyond the message that 'YOU'RE (PROBABLY) NOT CRAZY', it is that anyone can understand these mysteries of deep science.

     All you've got to do is take the time to understand the lingo and you'll be good to go!

"Epicenter Location Of Japan Earthquake Surprises All" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

courtesy http://www.wittnessed.wordpress.com/

Dear Ones:

     Here is a very good article detailing the great surprise seismologists and others are experiencing at the discovery that the EPICENTER of the huge 9.0 magnitude JAPAN EARTHQUAKE is in a VERY UNEXPECTED LOCATION!

Japan Quake Epicenter Was in Unexpected Location

By Devin Powell, Science News March 17, 2011
     "The epicenter of the quake was about 80 miles east of the city of Sendai, in a strip of ocean crust previously thought unlikely to be capable of unleashing such energy."

LINK:  http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/03/japan-earthquake-surpise/ 

"Images: The March 11 Sendai earthquake (epicenter shown as star) occurred when the westward-moving Pacific Plate took a sudden dive beneath northern Japan’s plate, the identity of which is disputed among scientists. (USGS 'Shakemap')"-'Wired Science'

MAP LINK: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/shakemap/global/shake/c0001xgp/
     Oh, my.  And here we 'arrogant humans' like to think we can 'second-guess' the Great Designer when it comes to things of 'global proportion'!
     In fact, our 'arrogance' is one of the reasons that some 'fatuous' global-warming theories...that is, that man, himself, is capable of causing massive glacier melt and the like all by his lonesome...are so patently absurd.
     And even more absurd is the liberal Greenie allegation that MANKIND is responsible for the Japan earthquake!
     AS IF!
     But back to this surprise article:
     "This area has a long history of earthquakes, but [the Sendai earthquake] doesn’t fit the pattern,” says Harold Tobin, a marine geophysicist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “The expectation was high for a 7.5, but that’s a hundred times smaller than a 9.0."
LINK: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/03/japan-earthquake-surpise/
     "The Sendai earthquake occurred at the Japan Trench, the junction of the westward-moving Pacific Plate and the plate beneath northern Japan. Historical records, one of seismologists’ best tools for identifying areas at risk, suggest that this segmented fault has produced several earthquakes bigger than 7.0 in the 20th century alone — but none bigger than 8.0."
     "That’s why the Japanese government has long focused on the nation’s southern coast and the northward-moving Philippine Plate, which has a proven ability to generate large quakes."

     Please take a moment and read this article by Devin Powell on 'Wired Science'.  It will be worth your while.
     And don't forget to 'read through' my 'Tutorials' (keyword below click-on) to get up to speed with understanding how Geomagnetic storms and severe earth weather are related.
     You will learn how energy from the sun combines with the earth's innate energy to produce phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, tornadoes and other fearsome events.
     For those who live in what they believe to be 'relatively safe zones' as far as earthquakes are concerned, I would urge you to re-think things.
     Do not be afraid, but be realistic and ready.
God Bless You

"Use Robots To Deal With Japan Earthquake-Damaged Reactors" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

WATCH THIS ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=snB24BHw1mw&NR=1
Dear Readers:
     Of all the nations involved in robo-technology, Japan is certainly a world leader.
     I have written about this before.  Click on keyword 'robots' below.
     Certainly the most sophisticated versions of humanoid 'bots' are capable of helping to 'cool and contain' nuclear plants on the verge of so-called 'melt-down', in coordination with direct human intelligence and control.
     Rather than risk human life for 'intelligent work' at Japan's nuclear reactors, robots should be considered, at least for 'crude tasks', whenever it is possible.
     Of course, the Japanese government as well as relief and aid agencies and cooperating countries should 'buy' the robots outright from their developer-owners and then lease the services of the latter, as well.
     Any robots used during this earthquake-related nuclear emergency will have to be considered 'lost' in the sense that they will contaminated after exposure to whatever radiation levels are being generated at any given point.
     One aside on the ethics and morality of this 'suggestion': robots are already capable of independent 'thought' and 'learning' in the sense that they are capable of rudimentary 'decision-making' using the algorithms set up for their use by HUMANS.
     However, at this point, I would argue that even the most realistic looking/feeling/acting robot is not a sentient being, even though one may feign jubilation at beating me at chess.
     So as long as we are on the subject, I would ask robot-developers if they understand the ramifications of imbuing their 'bots' with greater and greater decision-making capabilities and autonomy?
     Are robot-developers of the present and future prepared to deal with the consequences of 'over-humanisizing' our machines?
     Will robot-developers be willing to send a 'cherished robot' into a dangerous situation in the future such as what we are facing in Japan today?
     Or will everyone feel more comfortable just making a 'slave category' of robot to do humankind's 'dirty work'?
     Robot sentience and 'robot slaves' are mutually exclusive and the line between the two will forever be a source of distress to at least some human beings.
     And since bio-science is already amalgamating the 'mechanical' with the 'biological', I envision a future where the line between 'living' and 'mechanized' is even more difficult to discern.
     I pray to not have to ever deal with such things in my lifetime, but for now--
     Bring out the 'bots' if it is possible and preserve humanity.
God Bless Us All

"Geomagnetic Storm Causing Japan Earthquakes Is Worsening" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html

Dear Ones:
     I am sorry to tell you that the 'space weather' affecting earth right now is worsening.
     Let me tell you, this is the last thing we need with the obvious destabilization of the earth's crust currently taking place.
     Above is a graph of the Kp planetary index, which is a reflection of the energy impacting the earth from the sun.
     I had hoped that solar activity would either lessen or stabilize, but this is not to be the case.
     Here is a graph of X-ray activity, as in X-ray energy being thrown off the sun, some of which will hit earth:

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_5m.html

     In view of Japan's crumbling nuclear facilities, the last thing this area needs--as well as the rest of the earth where radioactive fallout from Japan will end up--is additional radiation from the sun.

     Yes, this all affects the stability of the earth's crust, as does all energy hitting the earth from the sun.

     Another 'factor' affecting the earth's 'stability' is proton emission from the sun affecting the earth.

     Below is a graph of that:

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/pro_3d.html

      And here is a graph of how the earth's magnetic field is being affected, below:

courtesy http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/mag_3d.html

     I cannot emphasize how important it is for all capable and reasonable individuals to read my 'Tutorials' (click the keyword below) and learn about what is happening as Geomagnetic Storms generated from severe space weather affect the earth.

     No place on earth is immune.

     We are all affected.

     And as a minister, I am tempted to remind us that , "We are not alone in this world.  Our brothers and sisters are here, too."

     Please pay attention and take appropriate precautions to 'stay safe', be prepared and most of all...learn to trust in our Lord who never fails those who love Him and who instructs us to:

      'Be not afraid'!

In Jesus's Name

"UPDATE: Geomagnetic Storm Intensifying Mar.1, 2011-Be Careful With Weather, Earthquakes, Today-Ohio, Arkansas & The Rest Of The World" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

A car is submerged near the corner of Frances Drive and Canal Road in Valley View after the Ohio Canal and the Cuyahoga River flooded the area Monday, Feb. 28, 2011. (Lisa DeJong/The Plain Dealer)

6:00 EST UPDATE: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html 

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html

Dear Ones:
      When it comes to 'predicting things about the world', humans are as accurate as believers can be when it comes to predicting the 'timeline' regarding 'end times'--meaning not very.
      Still, we like to think we can 'know'.
      But the Lord tells us very explicitly:
The Demand for a Sign
1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[a] 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away. Mt 16:1-4 (NIV)
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+16&version=NIV
     The passage above would tell us that while humans can glean the weather from various indicators, we are not to presume to understand God's 'Timeline' for us, plain and simple.
     So let's stick here with what we have been blessed to reasonably understand from 'observation, data collection, analysis and interpretation', i.e. from 'science'...and let God 'speak to our hearts' on other matters!
     The sun has been undergoing a week of instability.  In fact, it is unusually 'active' and the energy thrown off by the sun is currently, meaning 'now', affecting the earth in profound ways.
     These profound ways include the possibilities of severe weather with winds, rain, hail, tornadoes, lightning, thunder, mudslides, wildfires and the like.
     The sun in it's instability is also generating a great deal of 'magnetic field energy' which manifests itself on and in the earth, as well as in 'space'.
     See a graph of fluctuations on the earth's magnetic field (due to the current GEOMAGNETIC STORM we are experiencing) as a result of 'space weather' below.

updated 6:00 pm http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/mag_3d.html 

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/mag_3d.html

     Those of you who have been following along with my 'Tutorials' (click on this keyword below) realize that a solar situation such as this is a sure set-up for unstable earth weather.

     And, unfortunately for those places like ARKANSAS which has been experiencing a great number of earthquakes recently, this is a time to be vigilant.

     In OHIO and other 'flood areas', Geomagnetic storms only make matters worse.

Arkansas area map link: http://www.iris.edu/seismon/zoom/?view=eveday&lon=-93&lat=37

World map link:  http://www.iris.edu/seismon/



     Below is a 'visualization' of the intensity and direction of the energy from the sun hitting the earth.

update 6:00 PM http://www.visi.com/~brainiac/solar/aurora.shtml

     Note that at this time as this is being published, the arrow indicating the direction this energy is 'taking' is currently directed towards the Northeast of the United States.

     Shortly, it will be directed towards OHIO, thus intensifying whatever severe weather and geophysical events are occurring there.

     I urge those in 'danger areas' to be aware of the dynamics in play here.   Please get yourselves and your loved ones to safety, as needed.

     Unfortunately, your local public safety officials will not necessarily be forthcoming with the information I am presenting here, if they have any access to it at all.

     Also, there is a large group of 'thinkers' who do not yet recognize the correlation between GEOMAGNETIC STORMS, such as the one we are experiencing the effects of today, and 'everyday' earth weather and geophysical disturbances.

     OHIO and ARKANSAS today in the U.S.A. should pay heed, as well as those all over the globe in problem areas.

For you in Christ

"Arkansas Feb 17 Earthquake Cluster & An Expected G-3 Geomagnetic Storm: A Concise Analysis" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

LINK: http://www.iris.edu/seismon/zoom/?view=eveday&lon=-95&lat=32

Dear Ones:
     Yes, there have been an inordinate number of recognizable and 'noticeable' earthquakes in Arkansas over the last 24 hours or so.
     Yesterday I wrote about a Geomagnetic Storm expected to be here Feb 17-19.  As I have described many times before, seismic activity is correlated to 'space weather'. 
     Simply put, the 'energy' in its various forms which is hitting the earth from the sun manifests here in the form of severe weather (severe storms) with the potential for tornadoes, lightning, thunder, flooding, tsunamis, volcanic activity, seismic activity and more.
     This collection of events is collectively known as 'Geomagnetic Storms', more or less, depending upon who is doing the 'defining'--a meterologist or an astrophysicist, that is.
     Still, it's actually all the same as far as we are concerned.
     Recently, the sun erupted with a rare 'X-Class' solar flare, with two attendant CME's (Coronal Mass Ejections).

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE MOVIE:  http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/potw.php?v=item&id=42

     In terms of electrical phenomena, we see 'auroras' ('Northern Lights') at lower latitudes and can experience electrical, power grid and voltage fluctuations.
     Satellite functioning and transmission can be interrupted or terminated temporarily.
     Radio transmissions can be disrupted and the earth can be subjected to 'waves' of all sorts of ionizing radiation.
     Communication can be severely disrupted.
     In a 'nutshell', energy from a set of recent solar events, including the 'x-class flare' and CME's disturb the earth's magnetic field, resulting in affecting seismic activity to one degree or another.
     THIS is why Arkansas is acting up.
     You can read the technical 'stuff' here:
LINK: http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2011/02/get-ready-for-good-sized-geomagnetic-g.html 
      Below is a map and 'list' of the 52 or so earthquakes Arkansas has experienced today and yesterday.

LINK: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US10/32.42.-95.-85.php

     You will note that while the magnitudes are relatively small, they are also relatively 'shallow'. 
     As a rule, 'the shallower the quake, the more it is felt at the surface', even with a lower-magnitude earthquake.

"Get Ready For A Good Sized Geomagnetic (G-3) Storm On Earth Feb 17 Or So" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/alerts/warnings_timeline.html

"February 16, 2011 -- The calm before the storm. Three CMEs are enroute, all a part of the Radio Blackout events on February 13, 14, and 15 (UTC). The last of the three seems to be the fastest and may catch both of the forerunners about mid to late day tomorrow, February 17. Watch this space for updates on the impending -- G2, possibly periods of G3 -- geomagnetic storming.

Watch Today's Space Weather for the most recent activity. LINK: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov
Dear Ones:
     This is not intended to scare you, but recently the sun erupted with a very large, powerful 'Class X' solar flare.  As I write and you read this, energy from the sun is hurling towards earth...Energy which will precipitate what is known as a 'Geomagnetic Storm'.
     NOAA's scale for  Geomagnetic Storms can be found here: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/NOAAscales/index.html 
     Do you see that green bar on the graph above?  That indicates that the expected date of the 'storm's' arrival is somewhere around Feb 18-20.
     I say, be aware of the possibility of sooner activity on earth starting now and take care if you live in 'danger areas' prone to earthquakes, flooding, volcanic activity and the like.
     (It is just my opinion that NOAA and NASA's timing predictions are often a little late, for what it's worth.)
     I pray not much comes of this, but we are currently in a period of 'Solar Minimum' which means that solar activity is (theoretically) fewer and far between, but more intense when the sun DOES act up.
     See the graph below, which represents the 'energy' sent out by the recent massive X flare:

     All Geomagnetic storms are not considered equal, because different kinds of energy can manifest in different storms or even within the same storm at different or the same time.

     To illustrate this, look at the graph below which is a graph of the 'Planetary K Index' (the Kp Index), which is an index by which geomagnetic storms are measured.

link: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html 

     The above graph is also correlated to 'aurora activity' in the northern hemisphere.  The rule is, generally, the higher the Kp index, the more brilliant the auroras sighted.

     'The Observed Hemispheric Auroral Power Input' is the 1-10 scale on which auroral power input (i.e. the energy hitting the earth from the sun) is measured.

     This can be visualized in the graphic below:

link: http://www.visi.com/~brainiac/solar/aurora.shtml

     A quick examination of the 'Warnings' Chart on the top of this page reveals that we are to expect a Geomagnetic Storm on earth with potentially many or ALL the types of energy known to emanate from the sun, which can impact earth.

     This includes ionizing radiation such as x-rays, gamma rays, UV rays....as well as radio waves, electrical energy plus proton energy which we will take a look at below.

     Here is a graph of 'Proton Flux' currently affecting space and earth at this time:

http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/pro_3d.html

     Now, this 'proton flux' elevation is not good.  In fact, since I've started my Tutorials here (click on index keyword 'Tutorials' at the bottom of this article), I haven't seen a fluctuation such as this.

     (But then again, I don't follow space weather for a living, but only discuss it when it has Biblical  relevence, when there are safety concerns for the people of the world and when scientific curiosity piques my interest.)

      The bottom-line is that the expected Geomagnetic Storm will produce severe weather events and likely earth-based movements, eruptions and disruptions.

     According to our friends at NOAA, once again:

"February 16, 2011 -- The calm before the storm. Three CMEs are en route, all a part of the Radio Blackout events on February 13, 14, and 15 (UTC). The last of the three seems to be the fastest and may catch both of the forerunners about mid to late day tomorrow, February 17. Watch this space for updates on the impending -- G2, possibly periods of G3 -- geomagnetic storming.    

Watch Today's Space Weather for the most recent activity.

     There could be radio black-outs, radiation showers, unstable weather with tornadoes and, as I've discussed in my Tutorials, attendant earthquakes and the like.
     It is not routinely discussed for some reason, but Geomagnetic Storms affect the earth's magnetic field.  THIS is what prompts seismic, volcanic and other 'inner earth-related' movement, often with powerful effect, in case you didn't realize this, along with severe weather.
     Here is a chart of fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field as it correlates to the rest of the data discussed here, so you can check it out for yourself as time goes on:

link: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/mag_3d.html

     As I said, there's no need to panic, but do check these links and here for further updates.
     Of course, our 'measuring, warning and communication' systems are dependent upon satellites, but solar energy (see proton map) can 'knock out', block, or 'black-out' satellites and their signals.
     So, as ever, real-time observations by trained meteorologists, astronomers, and nerds of all sorts will be as necessary as ever.

"Breaking News: Huge Japan Earthquakes (Prelim. 7.4 & 5.6) Just Now, Lunar Eclipse Last Night & California Flooded" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

 

http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

Dear Ones:

     It must be 'Christmas', with never a dull moment.  Last night the world was treated to a lunar eclipse--a wondrous sight to behold for those who saw it 'live' and/or recorded this morning.
     The 'breaking news' is that Japan has just suffered a major earthquake this past hour.  And we hear that California is suffering from unprecedented precipitation.
     According to the USGS LINK: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/, the data for the Japan quake are as follows:
Update time = Tue Dec 21 18:16:37 UTC 2010

     Please pray right now for all persons being affected by such tumult. 
     And for information on how to 'monitor' earthquake activity in all areas of the world, check out my 'Tutorials', below.
God Bless & Keep You and Yours Safe at this time!

"About The Earthquakes In Japan & Elsewhere Today" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

Today's 6.6 Mag earthquake in Japan & elsewhere

LINK: http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

Dear Ones:
     Yesterday I wrote a 'piece' on tornadoes attendant to energy from the sun reaching earth (as indicated by a rise in the Kp Index (the 'planetary K Index') and causing geomagnetic storm activity. LINK: http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/11/about-tornadoes-today-by-reverend.html
     If you've been following my 'Tutorials', you know by now that energy from the sun can combine with the internal energy of the earth as well as with 'atmospheric energy' to produce: tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, storms, lightning, thunder, auroras and any number of observable earth weather phenomena.
     Today, we had a substantial 6.6 magnitude earthquake in Japan after 'yesterday's' USA tornadoes.  I thank God that engineers there have been able to design and construct 'earthquake-resistant' structures, since Japan is so seismically active.
     The details of this earthquake are as follows.
DATE               TIME        LAT    LON  MAG  DEPTH km   LOCATION
30-NOV-2010 03:24:41 28.41 139.14 6.6 478.3 BONIN ISLANDS REGION
    
     The two earthquake data links I recommend are:
LINK: http://www.iris.edu/seismon/  for those with a mag >=4.0  and
LINK: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/ for smaller ones.
     The 'lesson' for today is this: yesterday's solar energy affecting the earth (as tornadoes across the USA) are TODAY also spawning some seismic activity, such as that in Japan.  Fortunately, this 6.6 quake was a 'deep one', at 478.3 km below the earth's surface.  As you will learn from my my Free 'Tutorials' (click below), 'the shallower the earthquake, the greater the potential for damage it has, in general'.
     It is almost impossible to precisely 'predict' when and where 'geomagnetic storm activity' on earth will manifest itself.  USUALLY, it takes 'a few days' for released solar flare energy to actually have an effect on our planet. 
     When and where this energy 'hits' is an imprecise science, at best.  We do well to observe all natural indicators (including animal behavior!) as we monitor our instrumentation.
     WE can learn to be on the ALERT when one of our NOAA or NASA sources indicates 'incoming energy' and attempt to anticipate how 'space weather' will be affecting our 'earth weather' via the 'geomagnetic storms' of movie fame...and which really do exist.
     Officials rarely want to 'alarm' anyone...even when they are giving the go-ahead to divulge an opinion.  Alas, by the time any 'official alerts' get to the public-at-large, it is often 'too late' for the masses to 'take action'.
     For this reason, I am encouraging all of you to take the sensible steps necessary to assure yourselves that (as long as you have computer access of some sort) that you are current with weather events.  This is especially important if you live in an earthquake-prone area or know someone who does.
     You owe it to yourselves and your families to take a few moments with my 'Tutorials.  You will quickly see the usefulness of the links and information I provide you with and that they are worth paying attention to.
     The 'scientist' in me is fascinated by today's technology even as the 'spiritual me' reaches out to the world in faith.
In Him,
Reverend Barbara Sexton
