BREAKING News Out Of California… THEY NOW KNOW WHY! - Duration: 3:24.BREAKING News Out Of California…
THEY NOW KNOW WHY!
Scientists say that the Yellowstone supervolcano gets stronger every year, and they now think
they know why.
An 1,800-mile deep "hotspot" has been discovered under the caldera which scientists
believe is the volcano's heat source.
Yellowstone's hotspot is situated within our planet's mantle, and scientists believe
it is part of a surge of atypically hot rock known as a mantle plume, according to a recent
study.
They are thought to begin some 1,850 miles below Earth's surface at the boundary separating
the mantle from the core.
Researchers and scientists have been studying Yellowstone in hopes of preventing or at least
having some advanced warning when the supervolcano next erupts.
"A supervolcano explosion is capable of "plunging the world into a catastrophe"
and pushing humanity "to the brink of existence," NASA researchers wrote in a 2015 study.
The information we have on the rare eruptions today are estimates based on the geologic
record and the massive deposits left behind by them.The ash spewed by such an explosion
could create a global "volcanic winter" by blanketing parts of continents with soot.
Using prediction models from Yellowstone's last major eruption 630,000 years ago, the
researchers revealed Yellowstone could produce more than a meter of volcanic ash in its immediate
vicinity.
As you can see, the ash would blanket a vast majority of the United States.But NASA's
plan to help "fix" an eruption could have the opposite effect.
The space agency suggested drilling into the volcano to release heat, making it less volatile.
But that comes with potentially humanity eliminating consequences.
"It has been suggested that the hydrothermal circulation at Yellowstone may cool the underlying
magma and may lead to decreased long-term volcanic hazards," wrote the scientists.
More research needs to be done to figure out how to best protect the planet from a supervolcano
eruption, the researchers also said.
As of now, people would have mere minutes at most should the Yellowstone volcano erupt.
That would not be enough time to save lives.
But scientists also say that it isn't going to erupt all that soon.
We seem to get evidence to the contrary seemingly daily, yet those studying the caldera ask
to trust them when they say it's acting completely normal.
The Washington Post recently wrote an article titled "The " Yet right in their article,
they state:
The Yellowstone region has seen three big eruptions, the first one 2.1 million years
ago, the most recent 630,000 years ago.
Contrary to Internet rumor-mongering, as well as conspiracy theories about government coverups,
there's no sign that a fourth cataclysmic event is about to happen.

CalExit Just Got Green Light!
Liberal Plan To Split California Can Become Reality
This is great, one less problem for the United States of America.
California Secretary of State Alex Padilla confirmed on Monday that advocates who are
looking for California to secede from the United States of America after Donald Trump
won the presidency can now begin collecting signatures for a longshot initiative asking
voters to weigh in.
Although there had been two previous "Calexit' Proposals since the 2016 election previous
efforts either fell short or were withdrawn altogether.
But the latest would ask California voters about secession in 2020.
If it passes then a second election would be held a year later asking voters to affirm
the decision.
Marcus Ruiz Evans who is the co-founder of a group called "Yes California," said
the second vote would go towards showing that Californians are indeed serious about secession
and would strengthen the case for foreign governments to recognize the state's independence
on the world stage.
The difference between this initiative and the previous ones is that previous Calexit
initiatives would have deleted a portion of the state constitution that says California
is an inseparable part of the United States.
The latest version does not change the constitution in any way.As a lifelong California resident,
I have to say this has to be the worst idea for all sides.
California needs the US and the US needs California.
California is a produce-rich state which can feed most of the world when our politicians
let us water our crops.
We need the Military to protect us and Federal Tax dollars in case of emergency but at the
same time, the Federal Government needs California because of its rich tax revenue which is a
lot more than what any other state provides.
So how about we just leave things as they are and if you don't like who won the presidential
election then next time nominate a person who is liked instead of what their plumbing
or skin color is?
More on this via CNBC:"California's secession movement will get a second try as the state's
"war" against the Trump administration rages on several fronts.
On Monday, the California Secretary of State's Office announced that a secession ballot proposal
has been cleared to begin gathering needed signatures.
It comes amid other efforts that seek to split up California.
"Calexit is left — we are progressive, and that's why we don't like Trump,"
said Marcus Ruiz Evans, one of the leaders of the Yes California campaign seeking California
independence.
"But there are some very hardcore Republican concepts to Calexit, including the group saying
don't waste our tax money."
Evans said the group's membership has risen by "about four times" to roughly 44,000
members since the election of President Donald Trump.
A similar effort by the backers of Calexit failed last year after negative fallout emerged
following the disclosure that its leader, Louis J. Marinelli, was living in Russia.
Marinelli, who is still listed as one of the backers of the measure, said in an interview
he "travels to Russia and has worked there from time to time but is still a resident
of California."
If the current Calexit measure gets enough signatures to qualify, it would result in
a special election in 2021 to ask California voters whether the state should become an
independent country.
The backers have until mid-October to get almost 366,000 signatures of registered voters
to qualify it for the ballot.
Long-shot effort However, some analysts suggest the secession
effort has a long shot passing.
A Berkeley IGS Poll released in March 2017 found Californians oppose independence from
the U.S. by more than 2-to-1.
"They'll be a lot of notoriety, there will be a lot of publicity but I think in
practical terms it's going to fizzle out," said Seth Kaplowitz, a finance lecturer at
San Diego State University.
"It would be ridiculous to secede from the union.
The only person who would probably be happy about that is probably Donald Trump."
There have been more than 200 attempts throughout California's history to split it up the
state.
Sixth-largest economy in the world Some argue that California, the sixth-largest
economy in the world, already has essentially acted like a separate country by signing agreements,
or memorandums of understanding, with nations on issues as well as climate change.
For example, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed an agreement last year to work with China
to fight climate change.
That move came a week after Trump announced his intention for the U.S. to withdraw from
the Paris climate accord.
California's state leaders also have taken a different view from the Trump administration
when it comes to issues including offshore oil drilling, undocumented immigration, health
care, federal lands.
'War' with the Trump administration Earlier this month, the Trump administration
filed a lawsuit against California's so-called sanctuary state laws aimed at protecting undocumented
immigrants.
In response, Brown said, "This is basically going to war against the state of California,
the engine of the American economy."
More than 30 lawsuits have been filed between California and the federal government since
Trump was sworn into office in January 2017.
Trump, who has called California "out of control," sought to cut law enforcement
funds over the sanctuary policies in the state last year but a court ruled against the administration.Getting
shortchanged Regardless, Evans contends that Californians
don't get their fair share of federal spending for the money paid by taxpayers in the Golden
State.
Figures from the conservative Tax Foundation show California got back an estimated 78 cents
on each dollar paid in 2005 to the federal government while Alabama received $1.66 and
Kentucky got $1.51.
Evans maintains that if California were an independent nation, it could eliminate bureaucracy
by half and cut overall taxes for businesses and individuals.
Kaplowitz doesn't buy the argument that an independent California would necessarily
help business.
"Everybody is leaving California because they're overtaxed by the state," he said.
"Businesses are leaving, people are moving to Washington state and Texas and the other
states that don't have [an] income tax."
Splitting California in three Meantime, there's also a measure backed
by Silicon Valley billionaire Tim Draper to split California into three separate states.
Draper's plan would create a Northern California state that includes San Francisco, Silicon
Valley and Sacramento, a Southern California state with San Diego, the Inland Empire counties
and portions of the state's southern Central Valley.
A third state would retain the name California and include Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and
several other counties along the coast.
"All this is basically saying is that we're really not one state — we're so large
and we really have three different personalities," said Kaplowitz.
"Therefore, each personality should be its own state.
The reality is that you can say that about virtually any state."
November ballot Draper, chairman of the so-called "CAL 3"
campaign, announced earlier this month his group planned to submit more than 600,000
signatures, or nearly twice the amount required by law, to qualify for the Nov. 6 ballot.
"CAL 3 is committed to solving California's most pressing issues, including the state's
failing school systems that impact more than 6 million kids, highest-in-the-nation taxes,
deteriorating infrastructure and strained government," the group said recently.
"Partitioning California into three states would empower regional communities to make
better, fairer and more sensible decisions for their citizens."
This isn't the first time Draper has sought to split up California.
He backed a 2014 effort to break up California into six states, but despite spending more
than $5 million on the measure it failed to qualify for the ballot.
Even if Draper's group gets enough signatures this time, though, it still won't be easy
to split up the state, which joined the union in 1850.
The Legislature would need to give its consent along with Congress.
Creating a 'New California' At the same time, there's a "New California"
conservative movement that seeks to carve out rural counties into the 51st state.
But this isn't a ballot initiative.
The group is lining up support in counties and then hopes to take it to the Legislature
and then Congress.
So far, the group claims to have at least 38 of the state's 58 counties.
"People are really disenchanted with what they're seeing in Sacramento," said Paul
Preston, vice chair of the New California movement.
He complained that the controversial sanctuary state law along with state over-regulation
are just some of the concerns fueling interest in the split.
"We'll have 49 counties at the end of this," said Preston.
"We want this to be a win-win for California and New California."
But Kaplowitz said having California split into three separate states — or even a 51st
state — would be "unruly and chances of it happening any time soon are slim to none."

Cycle Track Loop in Wilmington, California - Duration: 6:42.We are here in the Transportation Committee and we're going to hear the motion I introduced
about a week and a half ago to bring the feasibility of a Cycle Loop, a Cycle Bike
Loop to the Wilmington community, so lets see what happens here.
I'm real excited to have the Chairman, Mr. Bonin, hear this item, and bring it to his
committee so quickly.
Sharing busy traffic lanes with cars is absolutely unacceptable.
And separation by a line of paint is often not enough.
Protected bike lanes also called Cycle Tracks use curbs, planters, or parking, to buffer
bicycles from moving cars.
We'll take Item nine out of order, because we have a special guest here and we are blessed
today to have the representative of District 15, Mr. Joe Buscaino.
Thank you Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Martinez.
Mr. Bonin, thank you so much for taking this item so swiftly and quickly into your committee.
In CD 15 we try to think of innovative ways to look at our multi modal transportation
options.
In Wilmington we're one of the first neighborhoods in the city that welcome both a docked bike
share program with Metro and also we are in the middle of a pilot program with the deckless
share program through LimeBike.
This is a community as we all know, colleagues, an impacted, disadvantaged community, surrounded
by heavy industrial refineries to the North, Port of Los Angeles to the South.
Its a community that has demanded additional amenities.
I'm really proud of the fact that leading an effort with the Wilmington Arts Alliance
on promoting economic development on Avalon Boulevard.
We feel that this item before you which will call for a cycle track loop is a way to boost
economic development opportunities, help support the existing businesses and also encourage
other businesses to come to the Wilmington community.
We have seen in other parts of the country like Washington D.C., and also in Salt Lake City,
how a cycle track loop has been an economic boost to those respective cities.
I feel this item before you is more of a cycle track loop.
In calling for for the feasibility of a cycle track loop, I believe its really going to
help promote health, safety, economic development in a time where we have seen three $100 million get built.
Wilmington buffer park built by the Port of Los Angeles,
Ken Malloy park that was recently renovated,
and most importantly, the announcement of the investment being made at the Wilmington Waterfront
While Wilmington has the highest concentration of bike lanes in California, bike ridership
is diminishing mostly because, quite frankly, people are scared to death of jumping on a
bike in the middle of horrendous traffic in our city.
I for one can testify that every May we have our bike to work day in the city of Los Angeles,
so I take the leap of faith to leave my office at downtown San Pedro city hall and make my
way up 24 miles North to City Hall here in Los Angeles, and I have had numerous close calls.
I've almost got killed a few times.
But I took one for the team Mr. Bonin, we have to do everything we can to promote ride
your bike to work day.
Do you wear a helmet?
Yes ma'am, absolutely!
Whooooaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
DOOR OPEN, YOU ALMOST KILLED ME, BUT I STILL LOVE YOU!
So she's parked parallel to a marked bike lane and she whipped out her door.
I almost ran into it.
I think I peed my pants on that one.
Many of us follow very closely the live coverage, wall to wall, on Facebook.
From beginning to end.
In fact, our Communications Director, almost killed himself going through a couple rail
lines, but nonetheless...
I remember that.
This is why it's important to look at really forward thinking ways to promote and bring
forth a cycle track loop.
Now this is just in concept, so i do want to encourage the community of Wilmington,
who's been demanding this type of amenities.
It's the question of "why not us?"
If you look at the Strand in the Beach Cities, which I feel is their most valuable asset,
their cycle track, and we feel that we can bring this asset to Wilmington.
This is in concept,.
I'm asking for the Departments to come forward with the feasibility, but most importantly
we want this to be a community-driven process.
There some excitement and interest.
But I'll end with this Mr. Bonin, if I can.
We feel the driving force behind this motion before you is CicLAvia.
When Wilmington hosted CicLAvia a year ago and folks from all parts of the County came
to Wilmington and businesses were excited and at the conclusion of CicLAvia, residents
looked forward to the next CicLAvia.
We should not have to wait for CicLAvia to promote a healthier and safer community by
bringing this cycle track loop where we feel will bring safe biking to Wilmington which
has the largest network of bike lanes in the City of Los Angeles, so we ask for your support
moving forward.
Thank you Mr. Buscaino, for coming to testify.
I think this is phenomenal.
I want to applaud your initiative, your leadership on this.
This is great because it does two things.
Cycle Tracks are the gold standard of bicycle infrastructure and it will make it safe for
everybody - all ages and abilities.
And we need to be more about intersections and segments in a holistic network, so I love this.
I was unaware this concentration was in Wilmington.
That's great. That's a perfect place to do it. So I would say "Ride Up Wilmington."
So I'm happy to hear that the committee just moved the item along.
The cycle track loop, we feel, will be a buffer between industrial use and the residential
uses in Wilmington and we're looking forward to partnering with the community, the neighborhood
councils, and other stake holders to get this thing moving.
