Primary Exempt PurposeBASIC RESEARCH, INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION, EDUCATION,HEALTH AND ENVIROMENTAL AWARENESS.THE INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE (IEA) EMPLOYS A UNIQUE APPROACH TO STIMULATE STUDENT AND PUBLIC INTEREST, AWARENESS AND CURIOSITY ABOUT SCIENCE. INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE INVESTIGATES HIGH VISABILITY BUT LITTLE UNDERSTOOD ANOMALIES AS A LEARNING VEHICLES.USING RIGOROUS SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY AND STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY, INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE CONTINUES TO INVESTIGATE DIVERSE AREAS OF PUBLIC INTEREST THAT ARE OFTEN NEGLECTED BY MAINSTREAM SCIENCE. AMONG THESE AREAS ARE LANDS WHERE MEASURABLE GEOPHYSICAL ANOMALIES EXIST SUCH AS SACRED SITES, EARTHLIGHT AREAS AND GEOPATHIC ZONES. HEALTH ISSUES AT SOME OF THESE ANOMALOUS GEOPHYSICAL SITES ARE UNDER STUDY. ADDITIONALLY TEMPORAL ANOMALIES PRECEDING SEISMIC ACTIVITY,BOTH GEOPHYSICAL AND ANIMAL BEHAVIOR, IS PART OF INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE'S ENVIROMENTAL STUDIES.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

EFFORTS IN 2015 WERE FOCUSED ON THREE INTERESTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE'S (IEA) CHARTER;EARTHQUAKE FORCASTING, HEALTH, AND ANIMAL COMMUNICATION.AFTER GIVING THE INVITED TALK AT NASA AMES IN SILICON VALLEY CA. ABOUT FORECASTING EARTHQUAKES BY OPTICAL AND ELECTROMAGNETIC MEANS, MARSHA ADAMS CONTINUED CORRESPONDING WITH NASA SCIENTISTS AND ADDITIONAL SEISMOLOGISTS FROM VARIOUS COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT TO DIVERGE FROM FAILED GROUND-BASED USGS TECHNOLOGY AND FOUND A NEW ORGANIZATION TO EXPLORE SATELLITE AND ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY TO FORECAST EARTHQUAKES.THE INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE CONTINUED TO BUILD THE OPTICAL DATA BASE TAKING ABOUT 1000 PICTURES A NIGHT (VARYING WITH SEASONAL DARKNESS) ACCUMULATING ABOUT 360,000 PHOTOGRAPHS PER YEAR, ADDING TO A DATA BASE OF SEVERAL MILLION PHOTOS. IEA CONTINUED TO EXPLORE THE INFRA RED SPECTRUM. ADDITIONALLY, ELECTRIC FIELD MEASUREMENTS WERE ADDED TO THE COMPLIMENT OF INSTRUMENTATION. DATA BASES OF MAGNETIC FIELD MEASUREMENTS AND IONIZING RADIATION MEASUREMENTS CONTINE TO BE ACQUIRED.IN ORDER TO DETERMINE IF THE OPTICAL CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN RECORDED BEFORE LARGE (>M6) EARTHQUAKES ARE PECULIAR TO THE SEDONA LOCATION, ROAMING CAMERAS WERE TEMPORARILY PLACED AT TWO ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS. MORE PHOTOS FROM ROAMING CAMERAS WERE PLANNED.$0$0
IN THE HEALTH ARENA, IEA CONTINUES TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE HEALTH HAZARDS OF MICROWAVES AND OTHER FORMS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION. IEA PREVIOUSLY WORKED IWTH AN EMERITUS SEDONA CITY COUNCILOR TO TAKE ELECTROMAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS AROUND SEDONA BEFORE AND AFTER SMART METER INSTALLATION AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. A MEASURED RESPONSE TO THE INCREASE IN ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION FROM SMART METERS HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE. A GRAPH OF HYDRATION MEASUREMENTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL YEARS BEFORE, DURING, AND NOW TWO YEARS AFTER SMART METER INSTALLATION SHOWS THE INDIVIDUAL HAS LOST 12% HUDRATION ABRUPTLY STARTING AT THE TIME OF SMART METER INSTALLATION.ADDITIONALLY, MICROWAVE MEASUREMENTS WERE TAKEN AT SEDONA HIGH SCHOOL. THE MEASUREMENTS WERE HIGH ENOUGH TO EXCEED THE LIMITS OF EUROPEAN STANDARDS. THESE MEASUREMENTS FURTHER RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF US STANDARDS WHICH WERE SET IN 1996 BEFORE THE PROLIFERATION OF MICROWAVE EMITTING DEVICES.THE EMERITUS CITY COUNCILOR AND MARSHA ADAMS MET WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS IN ORDER TO EDUCATE HIM ABOUT THE SAFETY AND HEALTH HAZARDS OF WIFI USED IN CLASSROOMS.MICROWAVE MEASUREMENTS WERE ALSO TAKEN IN A HOTEL BELONGING TO A MAJOR CHAIN NEAR WASHINGTON D.C. DURING A MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION. MANY ATTENDEES COMPLAINED OF LIGHEADEDNESS, FATIQUE, AND "BRAIN FOG". ONE ATTENDEE COLLAPSED AND RELATIVES WERE SUMMONED FROM THE WESTERN US TO ACCOMPANY HIM HOME. AGAIN, MICROWAVE MEASUREMENTS WERE FOUND TO FAR EXCEED EUROPEAN STANDARDS IN THE HOTEL, ESPECIALLY NEAR THE DOOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S ROOM.MARSHA ADAMS ASSISTED THE SOCIETY OF SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION WITH PUBLICITY FOR THEIR 2015 MEETING.$0$0
MANY PEOPLE SUFFER FROM THE MISBELIEF THAT WILD ANIMALS ARE NOT INTELLIGENT AND ARE NOT AWARE. IN AN EFFORT TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC THAT WILD AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS ARE SENTIENT, INTELLIGENT AND NEED TO BE RESPECTED, ANIMAL COMMUNICATION RESEARCH CONTINUED. VIDEOS WERE TAKEN OF UNUSUAL BIRD BEHAVIOR SUCH AS A BABY JAY MIMICKING HUMAN SPEECH IN ORDER TO GET FOOD. ALSO, TRAINING CONTINUED OF A WILD SCRUB JAY TO FOLLOW COMMANDS LIKE A DOG IN ORDER TO GET PEANUTS. ULTIMATELY THESE VIDEOS WILL BE POSTED ON THE IEA WEEBLY WEB SITE.DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEEBLY WEB SITE AND SOME DATA ANALYSIS HAS BEEN SLOWER THAN HOPED DUE TO THE DISTRACTION BY MALFUNCTIONS THAT CONTINE TO PLAGUE THE SEDONA OBSERVATORY.$0$0
