Gull Rage - Birds Attack Britons (EMF?)
---------------------------------------
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/05/30/offbeat.britain.seagulls.reut/index.html
Friday, May 30, 2003
"The seagulls are getting out of control. Something has to be done," a Brighton tour bus driver said.
BRIGHTON, England (Reuters)
Their airborne attacks sow panic among the public. And they are always one step ahead of their pursuers. A frightening new terrorist threat? No, just the plain old British seagull.
Long a beloved symbol of seaside fun, the birds are moving beyond their coastal heartland to urban centers where rooftops replace cliffs for nesting and it is easier to scavenge food from rubbish than hunt depleted fish stocks in the sea.
But their anti-social habits -- including early-morning cacophonies, and protective instincts which can make them deliberately defecate on or dive-bomb humans -- are fast making the seagulls a figure of hate for many.
This has given birth to a new concept: gull rage.
"A seagull swooped on a friend of mine the other day to grab a burger out of his hand," said a tourist bus driver Peter Butler, in the southern coastal town of Brighton.
"So he caught the bird by the throat and gave it a right fright. The seagulls are getting out of control. Something has to be done."
Brighton illustrates the conundrum well. As one of Britain's top beach resorts, it relies on seagulls for its postcard image and tourists delight in feeding the birds from their hands.
But as a busy residential town, many inhabitants are sick of the noise, mess and occasional threat the gulls present as they move away from the seafront.
"I know a lot of people call them rats with wings and they can be very intimidating, but they are part of our seaside heritage," said hotel worker Peter Metcalfe.
"The real problem is humans who throw them food and encourage the problem."
According to the country's leading seagull expert Peter Rock, their population is growing by a remarkable 13 percent annually, meaning most conurbations will before too long house a colony.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) estimates around 200,000 pairs of the two main species -- the herring gull and the black-backed gull -- now live in Britain.
"The subject of seagull menace has always been dealt with in a rather light-hearted and flippant way in the past," Rock told Reuters. "Now some people are baying for blood."
Calls for mass gull culls are growing. That could be done by shooting, poisoning or egg-destroying. Birds of prey have also been suggested as a solution.
"Some people tried flying Harris hawks in Bath," Steve Burt, pest control supervisor for that English city, told National Geographic.
"The trouble was that they were lucky to get the birds back alive once the gulls had finished with them."
Proponents of radical solutions point to reports of recent serious incidents such as a Welshman suffering a heart attack after being swooped, a pet dog hacked to death, and a woman in England sent to hospital with beak wounds to the head.
They may also want to recommend a re-viewing of British director Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 thriller "The Birds" which portrays seagulls terrorising a town.
But, experts counter, culls both offend nature-lovers' sensibilities and are a fundamentally flawed method.
"If you remove a seagull from its niche, you just make a hole which another one will come along straightaway to fill up," Rock said.
More effective long-term methods would be to adjust living habits to pre-empt the seagulls by, for example, blocking roof crevices and ensuring waste food is not left out.
Studies into feeding habits are also needed to find out how the chicks get the high-energy, high-protein food -- equivalent to fish -- in towns to survive in such high numbers.
Another anti-seagull tactic which failed was towing rubbish-filled boats out to sea to lure them. And in the ever-more imaginative drive to curb the birds, a football club painted the roof of its stadium red to successfully deter them.
Weighed against such methods are the seagulls' remarkable adaptability and capacity for problem-solving.
"These birds are very intelligent, very quick to cotton on to new opportunities," said RSPB spokesman Graham Madge. "We need long-term solutions."
One municipal authority in southwestern England has set up a special Web site to educate the public about the problem, but is wary about radical solutions for safety reasons.
"If birds of prey are dive-bombing in the streets, they could kill themselves," said South Hams environmental health officer Kate Eveleigh.
"And if people are climbing on to roofs for culls, there are obvious safety concerns there too."
Meanwhile, the menace of seagulls -- who generally weigh about 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds), have wingspans of some 4.5 feet (1.5 meters) and can dive bomb at 40 mph -- grows.
"There are various stages the seagull uses when it is upset. If you don't heed the first ones -- cries, low passes, defecating -- they will come in at highspeed and rake you with their feet on the back of the head," said Rock, a veteran of such attacks during his research. "It usually draws blood."

This mentions Graham-Stetzer filters, eliminating exposure to high frequencies. An inexpensive and simple to use instrument called a Microsurge Meter is also described. It produces a digital reading related to how harmful the electrical pollution is to humans in that micro-environment.
In "Mitigation of Electrical Pollution in the Home," released on 19 April 2002, Professor Emeritus at University of California in Berkeley Dr. Martin Graham discusses how people can cheaply and easily identify whether they are exposed to electrical pollution, as well as, a safe easy way to mitigate the problem once it is identified. He suggests using an inexpensive portable hand held AM radio to detect electrical pollution (See "Mitigation of Electrical Pollution in the Home," for details). In the paper, he also discusses the use of filters to reduce/eliminate exposure to electrical pollution. Each filter is made from a 20µf motor run AC dry film capacitor with a bleeder resistor (for safety) and a properly attached cord. Approximately 20 such filters are needed to reduce exposure to electrical pollution in the average home. These filters have advantages over previous filters in that they are small, portable (they plug into any outlet.), have a higher frequency range, and any person who knows how to plug in an electrical cord can install them.

Re: Help and advice sought

Hello, Radi,
In my opinion you shouldn't play their game. You say that they won't tell you who this 3 rd party is. It really doesn't matter when you say that Sprint will pay for it. What do you need more?
This whole "Technical questions" is just a game, you don't have in my opinion sit and think hard about any question - you should just clarify that you don't agree. The cannot impose on you a fact just like that and you have a legal right to resist because this is not a nuetral 3rd person. If they choose him and you agree to that - you lose. 100%.
You should demand to bring YOUR independant expert that YOU choose, and not agree to this game, clarify that you know you are cheated, clarify that this is not nuetral. Don't play their game.
We have a legal case where an "expert" was working for public health and at the same time worked for 3 cellular companies, electricity company and wired phone company. He is sued in the court now because of this. So if it's dirty, it can continue in the court room.
Iris Atzmon
and
Questions can give the engineer a bigger paycheck, and might stop for a moment him in his tracks (though he need only go to other pseudoexperts around the US to provide stunningly deceptive answers). Problem is, this gives him the floor.
You need the floor. And you need the floor with expertise that can slam-dunk spontaneously crunch anything and everything the engineer and his pseudoexpert cronies will come up with.
Every trick, of course, is an opportunity. If they get to bring a 3rd-party expert, you get to bring a 3rd-party expert.
You will need to show the engineer's background and influences. Get him to sign a disclosure statement, for example. Will he be found to be independent? No way! But you can then offer 3rd-party, independent expertise. They'll have trouble refusing you, since refusal would reveal, especially after the engineer's back-pocket contracts come out, that this move were intended by the Planning Board PRECISELY to weight the decision for Industry and against Residents.
Remember, the "engineer" has no authority to "approve" a project; only public officials do.
Sounds like you could be in a good position, if you play your cards well.
Here's also your opportunity to continue the hearing to September, or when ever you choose - preferably when the local student body & faculty are around for support.
Submit a letter asking your officials by what date the engineering (or whatever) report will be completed and on the record for you to read. Also make a FOIA request for the City's contract with the engineer, including his name. If it's not a City contract, well then, who's the Contractor???
If they give you a date, say it's too close to the hearing date of June 17, since you will need to get an expert and prepare rebuttal.
If they refuse to give you a date, say that's ridiculous, how under such circumstances can we prepare a rebuttal prior to the June 17 hearing?!
Their experts have had - how many months??? - to hire out and prepare such a report?
You deserve the same amount of time for your rebuttal.
DO THIS IN WRITING, ON THE RECORD, AND AS POSSIBLE, IN THE MEDIA!
