Apple and its smartwatch rivals overtake the mighty Swiss watch industry
Apple and its smartwatch rivals overtake the mighty Swiss watch industry
American companies are increasingly trending toward smartwatches, with Fossil Group Inc. basing the future of its company on connected products. Fossil acquired wearable fitness company Misfit in November 2015 and said it planned to produce more than 100 connected products in 2016. Fitbit Inc., another wearable fitness company, plans to ship its new, sleeker smartwatch, the Blaze, in March.

1. The first Google experimental application we looked at still shows as "pending" (has not changed to "granted"). Oddly(?), FCC on February 19th added a document to the "Public Notes" area of the file, and all the note says is one sentence: "New experimental in 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz for testing of radio equipment that may provide significant public interest benefits." https://apps.fcc.
2. There is a new Google experimental application, also "pending," filed Feb 16th, 2016: 3.4 to 3.7 GHz, 30 km radius of operation, listed as a mobile station, I think in Kansas City. File no. 0095-EX-PL-2016. There is some new terminology: eNodeBs "(also known as access points or base stations)"? These are its three documents in the FCC database (the main one is redacted of course):

If you didn't see this in other news: although Sri-Lanka government claims it was a controlled landing, it appears the first Project Loon balloon to enter Sri-Lanka airspace for Day One of their official rollout there crashed to the ground.

International EMF Scientist Appeal 2 - 220 signatures to date
We are scientists engaged in the study of biological and health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF). Based upon peer-reviewed, published research, we have serious concerns regarding the ubiquitous and increasing exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices. These include–but are not limited to–radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitting devices, such as cellular and cordless phones and their base stations, Wi-Fi, broadcast antennas, smart meters, and baby monitors as well as electric devices and infra-structures used in the delivery of electricity that generate extremely-low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF EMF).
Elimination of Ground Current Pollution Bill 161 - Passed 2nd reading with a unanimous vote from all three parties!!!!
Elimination of Ground Current Pollution Bill 161 - Passed 2nd reading with a unanimous vote from all three parties!!!!
Date: Feb. 20 2016 12:11:15 UTC−5Reference: “. Distribution poles and especially the neutral conductor need to be updated in areas where load exceeds capacity of the neutral to return the current to source.”The above is an incorrect statement and is not the source of the problem nor is it the solution to the problem.The problem: The problem is the multi-grounded neutral system which has the neutral return current conductor connected to the earth at least four times per mile and at every pole mounted transformer placing the earth in parallel with the neutral conductor. This allows the neutral return current to take all paths: return neutral current returning on the neutral conductor and returning over the earth also as the earth is an electrical conductor. The earth and the return neutral conductor are parallel electrical paths and each can transmit the return neutral current back to the source substation transformer and in doing so can harm animals, that is, humans and dairy cows and pigs.The solution: Leave the present neutral conductor and the multi-connections of the neutral to earth in place and referred to it as the electrical safety conductor (the green wire or third pole of the receptacle just like what is used in your home, commercial and industrial facilities) which will allow fault current from a live phase conductor that falls to the earth to return the short circuit current directly back to the substation transformer allowing the protective device to operate and when the protective device operates the fault current will stop flowing.Install a new neutral return conductor that is connected only to the pole mounted (or pad mounted or underground) transformers’ neutral bushing. The phase conductor is connected to the other bushing of the pole mounted transformer as it is presently; this new neutral conductor will allow ALL the neutral return current to flow unimpeded without using the earth back to the source substation transformer. With all of the return neutral current contained in a neutral conductor insulated and isolated from earth, there will be no stray voltage (incorrect term) or stray current (correct term) flowing over the earth to harm any animal; human, dairy cows, pigs.Donald W.

Subject: Elimination of Ground Current Pollution Bill 161 - Passed 2nd reading with a unanimous vote from all three parties!!!!Thanks to all of you who attended the reading of the Elimination of Ground Current Pollution (Bill 161) presented to the Legislative Assembly by Rick Nicholls, PC Critic for Community Safety. Thanks also to those who contacted their local MPPs.Bill 161 passed its second reading with unanimous support from all three parties.Several MPPs from all three parties addressed this Bill. Many were in the House 10 years ago, when Maria Van Bommel presented a similar Bill. They asked why little to nothing had been done regarding this serious problem.Rick did an excellent job. His presentation is provided below. About 30 plus farmers came from different parts of Ontario. "Ontario Farmer" covered the passing of this Bill so wait for the next issue.Lee Montgomery attended the reading as he did 10 years ago. It is now 44 years that he has been fighting this injustice. One tough little guy who just doesn't know how to call it quits. He has been an inspiration to many of us who want the government to do the right thing and put current back onto the wire where it belongs.The speeches from MPPs were inspiring and many commented on the importance of farming and the farm family in Ontario. You should be able to view this debate tomorrow, Feb 19 (check your local TV listing).It has been a long, very long, uphill battle and the battle is far from over. The Bill now goes to Committee and it will depend on the government as to how quickly Bill 161 will be dealt with.I do believe this government is committed to doing the right thing but they will be met with opposition from Hydro One and the other electricity providers. The solution to the ground current problem, if generated off farm, will be expensive. Distribution poles and especially the neutral conductor need to be updated in areas where load exceeds capacity of the neutral to return the current to source.The government has two years to determine how to implement Bill 161 and that implementation has to be completed within 10 years. Hopefully some of the more severely affected regions of Ontario will get immediate attention so that livestock and farmers need no longer suffer the consequence of ground current pollution.Once again a hardy thanks to all of you for your interest and your help. A special thanks to Rick Nicholls who has been working on this issue for the past 4 years. We need more MPPs like Rick, who are working to make Ontario a healthier place to live.Please share this information with others who are interested.-magda
Are Cell Phones and WiFi Signals Toxic?
Are Cell Phones and WiFi Signals Toxic?
It’s almost impossible to remember a time without smartphones, which makes it equally easy to forget that the technology is still relatively new, with safety requirements that, for the most part, are generally untested. The scientific community’s rumblings about brain cancer and the new-to-us affliction “electro-sensitivity” are worth exploring, at the very least, so we tapped three experts in the field—Dr. David Carpenter, Ann Louise Gittleman, and Devra Davis—to help us understand the complicated and messy world of cell phone and WiFi safety.
Dr. David Carpenter
Dr. David Carpenter is the director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany, and the author of the Bioinitiative Report, one of the very few publications to evaluate the safety concerns associated with cell phones. He received his degree at Harvard Medical School and has decades of experience studying public health and environmental contaminants, with more than 360 peer-reviewed articles bearing his name.Read more
Ann Louise Gittleman
Ann Louise Gittleman is a nutritionist and long-time advocate for integrated medicine—her book Zapped is the most comprehensive guide to electromagnetic radiation we’ve come across. Read more
Devra Davis
Devra Davis is an award-winning epidemiologist and founder of Environmental Health Trust, a non-profit organization working to protect kindergarten and middle school children from health risks of cellphones and WiFi. She’s also the author of the book Disconnect, and more than 200 studies on the subject. Read more
