CANADA EXPERIENCES EXTREME WEATHER: Is Geo-Engineering The Culprit?

Yesterday, shortly after the questionable HAARP-shut-down reports made their way around the internet and were refuted by Dutchsinse and others, there were over 30 tornado warnings in Ontario.?? Quebec also suffered extreme weather (1 person died) and so did Saskatchewan.? Golf-ball sized hail was seen in Regina.

In Quebec The Weather Network reported,

Hundreds of thousands of people are without power across southern Quebec due to the intense weather.

Fallen trees and downed power lines left a lot of work for Hydro Quebec employees.

At its peak, Montreal and the Laurentians had over 130,000 people without power.

There are still widespread power outages.

Currently almost 60,000 people have no electricity in Montreal, over 110,000 in the Laurentians and 69,000 people are without power in Laval.

You can find a list of affected areas here:

For Ontario, The Weather Network reported,

At one point, more than 2.5 million people across southern Ontario were under a tornado warning ? major population centres stretching from Niagara Falls through to Mississauga and Peel Region, along with areas near Orangeville, Barrie and parts of Ottawa.

Those were eventually dropped, with no tornadoes confirmed, but Environment Canada says at least three funnel clouds were reported.

Here?s a video of the rain in Hamilton:

This news anchor at The Weather Network was mentioning that a caller had said something like ?I?ve never seen clouds that look like that in my life? and she attempted to reassure us that these are indeed normal ?mammatus clouds? (although it seems that this 5minute video was taken down and replaced by a 2minute video where they do not discuss the mammatus clouds).

Are they normal?

I did a search for these clouds and found some that looked even more dramatic (1, 2).? Even if these clouds are associated with storms, are we not indeed seeing a dramatic increase in storms and odd weather all over the world?

A couple weeks ago Toronto got flooded.? A few weeks before that, Calgary got flooded and then the RCMP came in and took people?s guns, Katrina-style.? There were compelling arguments saying that geo-engineering played a significant/direct role in the Calgary floods.? India had at least 130 people die due to flooding a couple weeks before that.? Europe had massive flooding a few weeks ago and there was so much other news happening at the time that I could barely report on it.? All I was able to find before it became ?old news? was an article titled ?Iran condoles with German flood victims?.

Right now at 8:18am, the day after the tornado warning in Ottawa I?m seeing a chemtrail right above me and the sky getting whiter and whiter (?in fact, now as I finish and proofread this article, the sky has become completely white).

In this next shot we can see what appears to be chemtrails sprayed above the clouds during the storm in Montreal.? If these are not chemtrails then they are definitely really straight long clouds seemingly stretching all the way across the sky.

Capital came through quake well - mayor

Civil Defence says people in Wellington can return to work from Tuesday morning following checks to the central business district after a strong earthquake at the weekend.

Structural engineers spent Monday assessing many buildings for damage after Sunday's 6.5-magnitude quake at 5.09pm off the Marlborough coast at a depth of 17km. A second quake measuring 5.2 happened minutes later and there have been hundreds of aftershocks.

SUPPLIED

Civil Defence had urged workers to stay home on Monday due to the risk from damaged buildings. Acting regional manager Rian Van Schalkwyk told Radio New Zealand's Checkpoint programme it has identified and cordoned off external damage on 35 buildings. These would be reassessed on Tuesday morning, however it was safe for people to return to work then.

Wellington City Council said its building inspectors have not found any significant damage in the central city. Chief building officer Richard Toner said most of the damage is cosmetic, rather than structural. However, he said building owners need to ensure that they carry out their own inspections, and several car parks need further assessment before they are cleared.

The Fire Service set up a command unit on The Terrace to provide support to Urban Search and Rescue engineers and technicians. Police said they would maintain a strong presence in the central city overnight on Monday with double the usual number of staff on duty.

Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said the capital has come through the quake relatively unscathed and would soon return to business as usual. She said the council had already embarked on a multimillion-dollar programme to strengthen quake-prone buildings and infrastructure.

Ms Wade-Brown said Sunday's quake serves as a reminder that people need to be prepared and know what to do when the "big one" does hit. She said the risk of a catastrophic quake hasn't changed from it was last week and the capital is always bracing for a big tremor.

GNS Science said it is almost certain there would be another quake greater than magnitude 5 in the next week. Project director Ken Gledhill told a Wellington Regional Emergency Management briefing on Monday afternoon there has been more than 1000 aftershocks since a 5.7-magnitude quake on Friday and they would continue for the next few weeks.

Wellington Hospital has not reported any damage, but four patients with minor injuries were treated after Sunday's quake. One was a man who was knocked out when a television fell on him.

Train services resume, airport open

Train services resumed across the Wellington network on Monday afternoon. KiwiRail said it has completed inspections on all lines and trains are running on a half-hourly timetable.

Normal operations are set to resume on Tuesday, but Tranz Metro said services may be suspended again if there are any strong aftershocks and is advising passengers to check its website before travelling.

Wellington Airport is open but runways are being checked regularly following aftershocks and there could be minor delays on Monday. Ferries are operating and ordinary bus services are running as usual.

Civil Defence said people should travel only if it is essential, and commuters in the greater Wellington region are advised to drive with patience and care.

Regional council chairperson Fran Wilde said work has begun to make Wellington's port fully operational as soon as possible. She said a section of the road and sea wall - built on reclaimed land at the southern end of the port - has collapsed into the sea, but it isn't having any major effect on port activities.

Ms Wilde said some buildings have suffered water damage as a result of fire sprinklers being set off by Sunday's quake.

Many buildings closed

Several buildings and offices were shut on Monday, including council buildings, ANZ branches, ACC offices and Westpac Stadium. Te Papa museum is also closed, but a spokesperson said it has had only superficial damage to its store and some exhibits have moved out of place.

Victoria University has been closed.

RADIO NEW ZEALAND

Most university campuses are closed, including Victoria's, but Massey said it is ready to reopen on Tuesday. The Ministry of Justice said all courts would be operating as usual from Tuesday.

Engineers have completed a safety review of three major buildings on the waterfront, including that occupied by the BNZ, which suffered considerable interior damage.

The BNZ building is owned by Centreport. Chairperson Warren Larsen said it has been approved as structurally safe. However, he said there is a lot of damage inside including ceiling units that have fallen and water damage caused by the failure of a fire system.

Mr Larsen said no one can work in the building until the ceiling is repaired and they would be asking engineers to assess why the ceiling collapsed when ceilings in nearby buildings remained intact.

Meanwhile, buildings at Parliament have suffered superficial damage, but are deemed safe to enter. Some shops in central Wellington were open on Monday.

The Mercure Hotel on Willis Street, which was evacuated on Sunday after possible damage to one of the floors was identified, has been cleared by inspectors to reopen. Guests were relocated for the night to its sister hotel, the Ibis.

Claims will be honoured - PM

Prime Minister John Key on Monday reassured the public that any claims lodged with the Earthquake Commission would be honoured.

Mr Key said the EQC fund has essentially been run down to zero due claims from the Canterbury earthquakes, but the Government will top it up if necessary. He could not put a dollar figure on the damage in Wellington, but said he has been advised that the quake is not a major financial event.

Sunday's quake was stronger than the 6.3 magnitude tremor which struck Christchurch on 22 February 2011, killing 185 people. New Zealand experiences more than 14,000 earthquakes a year, but about 20 are in excess of magnitude 5.0.

May 19 - TAXES IN FRANCE 'TOP 100% OF INCOME'... - Boxden.Com

(Reuters) - More than 8,000 French households' tax bills topped 100 percent of their income last year, the business newspaper Les Echos reported on Saturday, citing Finance Ministry data.

The newspaper said that the exceptionally high level of taxation was due to a one-off levy last year on 2011 incomes for households with[..]ets of more than 1.3 million euros ($1.67 million).

President Francois Hollande's Socialist government imposed the tax surcharge last year, shortly after taking office, to offset the impact of a rebate scheme created by its conservative predecessor to cap an individual's overall taxation at 50 percent of income.

The government has been forced to redraft a proposed bill to levy a temporary 75 percent tax on earnings over 1 million euros, which had been one of Hollande's campaign pledges.

The Constitutional Council has judged such a high rate of taxation to be unfair, leaving the government to rehash it to hit companies rather than individuals.

Since then, a top administrative court has determined that a marginal tax rate higher than 66.66 percent on a single household risked being considered as confiscatory by the council.

Les Echos reported that nearly 12,000 households paid taxes last year worth more than 75 percent of their 2011 revenues due to the exceptional levy. ($1 = 0.7798 euros)

Lovelorn frogs bag closest crooner

May 20, 2013 ? What lures a lady frog to her lover? Good looks, the sound of his voice, the size of his pad or none of the above? After weighing up their options, female strawberry poison frogs (Oophaga pumilio) bag the closest crooner they can, finds research in BioMed Central's open access journal Frontiers of Zoology. This seemingly short-sighted strategy turns out to be the optimal mate choice strategy for these colourful frogs.

Males of the species congregate in the Costa Rican rain forest 'lek-style' to display and call together, giving females the chance to weigh up multiple males at once. But despite their best efforts, build and territory size, females tend to mate with the closest calling male, Ivonne Meuche from the University of Veterinary Medicine, Hannover, Germany, and colleagues report.

The find was confirmed by playback experiments where females, played recordings of various male calls, failed to discriminate between different call rates or frequencies, preferring instead, the nearest speaker.

Female mate choice is a tricky business. Some species chose the first mate that is 'good enough' whilst others seek out and compare many mates before returning to choose the fittest. But the simplest, least costly option is to mate with the first or nearest male encountered, regardless of quality. The strategy doesn't seem an evolutionary winner as it means that nearby, unfit frogs sometimes get to pass on their genes at the expense of more distant, genetically-superior specimens. But it does make sense in certain situations.

Non-choosy behaviour like this has been noted in fishes, and some frog species with a lek-like mating system. It's thought the strategy works for them because it reduces 'costs' in terms of search time and competition for mates. Female strawberry poison frogs may also benefit little from 'shopping around' because strong inter-male competition means the available mates are all much of a muchness.

The team also noted that females unable to find a mate within a certain time period ended up laying unfertilised eggs that never hatch. So in species, like the strawberry poison dart frog, where the choosing sex outnumbers the chosen sex, it makes sense to 'grab the nearest guy' rather than run the risk of not mating at all.

Former Wyoming legislator worked to legalize MMA, now getting in the cage

As a state legislator in Wyoming, Bryan Pedersen helped author the bill to legalize and regulate MMA in his home state. This weekend, he will test that bill by fighting at the Colosseum Fight Series, the first fights in Cheyenne since the bill passed.

Pedersen, who is 38 years old, has trained in MMA for the past four years. Like many fighters, he originally tried out the sport for fitness reasons only. But once MMA was allowed in his state, and Cheyenne was set to host fights, Pedersen couldn't help but say yes to an offer to fight on the CFS card.

"This is not something I normally do," he said to the Wyoming Star-Tribune. "But I really believe in the sport."

He served for six years in the Wyoming state legislature. Now a financial consultant, he plans on making this both his debut and retirement bout. The weigh-ins will take place at a familiar venue for Pedersen -- the steps of the Wyoming State Capitol Building.

Pedersen is taking the fight seriously, as he drives an hour and a half daily to Easton Training Center in Colorado, the training home of UFC veteran Eliot Marshall.

"I have a goal," he said. "Without a goal, you wouldn?t do it. It creates a sense of urgency and panic. Because every day I?m not training, my opponent is probably getting better. And I?m not."

He's the latest government official to set his sights on the cage, though Pedersen appears to be taking his fight more seriously than the two mayors in south Florida who are planning a bout. Perhaps MMA should become part of the legislative process.

Spokesman for Ansar Dine arrested in Mauritania

NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania (AP) ? The man who acted as the spokesman for one of the three al-Qaida-linked groups occupying northern Mali turned himself in over the weekend to Mauritanian authorities on the border, an intelligence official briefed on the matter confirmed on Monday.

Sanda Ould Boumana, the Timbuktu-based spokesman for Ansar Dine, is being transferred to Mauritania's capital, Nouakchott. The official, who insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press, said that Ould Boumana had previously tried to negotiate a deal with Algeria, which also borders Mali.

"Ould Boumana said that he wishes to be arrested and tried in Mauritania," said the intelligence agent. "He will be transferred to Nouakchott to be interrogated by our specialists on terrorism."

Ansar Dine, or "Defenders of the Faith," invaded northern Mali in the last days of March 2012. The group's leader, Iyad Ag Ghali, is a native of Kidal, the northernmost provincial capital in Mali which became Ansar Dine's fief after the fall of the north to the extremists. In conjunction with al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, Ansar Dine also occupied the storied city of Timbuktu ? Ould Boumana's hometown. He became Ansar Dine's spokesman and de facto leader in Timbuktu, and residents say that they often saw him going to meetings alongside the al-Qaida cell leaders. He was closely involved in imposing Shariah rule on Timbuktu, including overseeing the public amputation of an accused thief.

Ould Boumana fled the city in January, as French commandos advanced to end the extremists' control of the town.

In recent weeks, the Mauritanian news portal, Nouakchott Information Agency, a site that is frequently used by local jihadists to communicate with the outside world, reported that they had spoken to Ould Boumana and that he was pleading for asylum in Algeria.
