NEWS ... GLOBAL NEWS ... weather modification. Controlling the NANOBACTERIA MAKING US ILL? nanobacteria to serious health problems, weather modification. Controlling the ionosphere potentially allows weather con- trol. There are many methods of control- ling the ionosphere. It is the process of artificially manipulating ion density in the ionosphere. High-power transmitter and antenna array operating in the HF (High Frequency) range is one of the methods. There is lots of literature on that on the Internet and declassified scientific research journals. "Many countries are now rushing to take countermeasures to take control of the ionosphere that impacts their nation's weather. The countermeasures involve reverse ionization and monitoring through advanced satellite-monitoring methods. The anomalies in weather prediction mod- els also provide an early indication of someone trying to control the local weath- er. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is hurriedly installing weather mon- itoring stations all over India. "According to international think tanks, the major powers of the world are racing towards a cold war of controlling the ionos- phere. The methods and counter-methods need a tremendous amount of electrical power. The hardware is now guided by the software algorithms to first detect such weather manipulation and then take coun- termeasures to neutralize adversaries’ attempts. Soon a new generation of satel- lites will take control of the ionosphere. "The silent cold war on controlling the ionosphere is on!"

The studies show that nanobacteria can infect humans, a find that has helped push nanobacteria back into the limelight. Now the pressure is on to resolve the controversy and expose how nanobacteria works—no matter what it is. (Source: Wired News, March 14, 2005 lavi Kajander didn't mean to discover the mysterious particles that have been called the most primitive organisms on Earth and that could be responsible for a series of painful and fatal illnesses. He was simply trying to find out why certain cultures of mammalian cells in his lab would die no matter how carefully he prepared them. So the Finnish biochemist and his col- leagues slipped some of their old cultures under an electron microscope one day in 1988 and took a closer look. That's when they saw the particles. Like bacteria but an astonishing 100 times smaller, they seemed to be thriving inside the dying cells. Believing them to be a possible new form of life, Kajander named the particles "nanobacteria", published a paper outlin- ing his findings and spurred one of the biggest controversies in modern microbi- ology. At the heart of the debate is the ques- tion of whether nanobacteria could actual- ly be a new form of life. To this day, crit- ics argue that a particle just 20-200 nanometres in diameter can't possibly har- bour the components necessary to sustain life. The particles are also incredibly resistant to heat and other methods that would normally kill bacteria, which makes some scientists wonder if they might be an unusual form of crystal rather than organisms. The debate has been fuelled by an increasing number of studies linking BUILDING NANOMACHINES OUT OF LIVING BACTERIA L“ bacteria could one day act as reconfigurable components for nanoscale electronic circuits, or evena scaffold for building nanomachines. "Nature has developed these fantastic uilding blocks," says Robert Hamers of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Our approach is to simply grab onto them very gently." His team has been using electrodes to manipulate individual acterial cells—as they will report in a future issue of Nano Letters. At the moment, nanostructures have to be put together manually. But it might be ossible to automate the process using acteria, as components tagged with par- ticular biological molecules will stick to complementary surface proteins on the bacteria. Another use for Hamers-type electrodes would be in biosensors that could detect biological agents such as anthrax from changes in an electrode's current as spores become attached.

The purpose of this current study was to review mortality and incidence data for malignant melanoma of the skin in Sweden and its temporal relation to increased "sun-travelling", and to the introduction of FM and TV broadcasting networks. The data included incidence rates of malignant melanoma, death numbers, charter travel statistics, and data on the expansion of the FM broadcasting net- work in all counties of Sweden. 8 = NEXUS JUNE — JULY 2005 www.nexusmagazine.com
