Can anyone understand the Morse code audio at the translation link

For a moment I can distinguish this and that sound only, no combinations, but then I lose that ability and it all jumbles.

No, I can't, but I may try to learn it. I've learned the code, but it's far from automatic - I have to think about it. It's going to take a lot of listening to distinguish the code by ear. If someone asked me what the code for a particular letter is, I could tell him, but my brain doesn't work fast enough listening to it.

I did not come to reply, I came to share this

"It's the magma I tell ya !

It will be the death of us all.

And significant climate warming due to the Siberian and other magma bubbles

in the between time."

http://news.yahoo.com/volcanoes-not-met ... 48456.html

" SAN FRANCISCO — Volcanic activity in modern-day India, not an asteroid, may have killed the dinosaurs, according to a new study.

Tens of thousands of years of lava flow from the Deccan Traps, a volcanic region near Mumbai in present-day India, may have spewed poisonous levels of sulfur and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and caused the mass extinction through the resulting global warming and ocean acidification, the research suggests.

The findings, presented Wednesday (Dec. 5) here at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, are the latest volley in an ongoing debate over whether an asteroid or volcanism killed off the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago in the mass die-off known as the K-T extinction.

blah. blah. blah. <freely edited> "

I think they call it shield volcanoes or shield eruption when acres and acres like Yellowstone, Mumbai, or Siberia develop a fresh lava plain.

Look at a view of the retreating Polar Ice and the maximum retreat is by the Volcanoed areas.

Or search y'r'own image.

It's the magma I tell ya !

It is cycling, churning, heating up after being contained so long.

It could be conscious like the silicon creatures on Star Trek the original series and be at war with the dominant surface bioforms. Dinosaurs or "us".

Or it could just be cycling as it does. Where oh where is Hillary Swank? (The Core).

Probably laying all that asphalt is blanketing, insulating magma heat. Yea! It's Mankind's fault. Whoopie.

Now that should convince all

"it's the magma".

so bored.

so very, very bored.

Mayan apocalypse: panic spreads as December 21 nears

By Nick Allen, Los Angeles, Malcolm Moore in Beijing and Tom Parfitt in Moscow

The Telegraph

6:42PM GMT 07 Dec 2012

Ahead of December 21, which marks the conclusion of the 5,125-year "Long Count" Mayan calendar, panic buying of candles and essentials has been reported in China and Russia, along with an explosion in sales of survival shelters in America. In France believers were preparing to converge on a mountain where they believe aliens will rescue them.

The precise manner of Armageddon remains vague, ranging from a catastrophic celestial collision between Earth and the mythical planet Nibiru, also known as Planet X, a disastrous crash with a comet, or the annihilation of civilisation by a giant solar storm.

In America Ron Hubbard, a manufacturer of hi-tech underground survival shelters, has seen his business explode.

"We've gone from one a month to one a day," he said. "I don't have an opinion on the Mayan calendar but, when astrophysicists come to me, buy my shelters and tell me to be prepared for solar flares, radiation, EMPs (electromagnetic pulses) ... I'm going underground on the 19th and coming out on the 23rd. It's just in case anybody's right."

In the French Pyrenees the mayor of Bugarach, population 179, has attempted to prevent pandemonium by banning UFO watchers and light aircraft from the flat topped mount Pic de Bugarach.

According to New Age lore it as an "alien garage" where extraterrestrials are waiting to abandon Earth, taking a lucky few humans with them.

Russia saw people in Omutninsk, in Kirov region, rushing to buy kerosene and supplies after a newspaper article, supposedly written by a Tibetan monk, confirmed the end of the world.

The city of Novokuznetsk faced a run on salt. In Barnaul, close to the Altai Mountains, panic-buyers snapped up all the torches and Thermos flasks.

Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian prime minister, even addressed the situation.

"I don't believe in the end of the world," before adding somewhat disconcertingly: "At least, not this year."

In China, which has no history of preoccupation with the end of the world, a wave of paranoia about the apocalypse can be traced to the 2009 Hollywood blockbuster "2012".

The film, starring John Cusack, was a smash hit in China, as viewers were seduced by a plot that saw the Chinese military building arks to save humanity.

Some in China are taking the prospect of Armageddon seriously with panic buying of candles reported in Sichuan province.

The source of the panic was traced to a post on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, predicting that there will be three days of darkness when the apocalypse arrives.

One grocery store owner said: "At first, we had no idea why. But then we heard someone muttering about the continuous darkness."

Shanghai police said scam artists had been convincing pensioners to hand over savings in a last act of charity.

Meanwhile in Mexico, where the ancient Mayan civilisation flourished, the end time has been seen as an opportunity. The country has organised hundreds of Maya-themed events, and tourism is expected to have doubled this year.

Nasa has been aggressively seeking to dispel doomsday fears. It says there is no evidence Nibiru exists, and rumours it could be hiding behind the sun are unfounded.

"It can't hide behind the sun forever, and we would've seen it years ago," a Nasa scientist said.

The space agency also rejected apocalyptic theories about unusual alignments of the planets, or that the Earth's magnetic poles could suddenly "flip."

Conspiracy theorists contend that the space agency is involved in an elaborate cover up to prevent panic.

But David Morrison, an astronomer at Nasa, said: "At least once a week I get a message from a young person, as young as 11, who says they are ill and/or contemplating suicide because of the coming doomsday. I think it's evil for people to propagate rumours on the internet to frighten children."

Mayans themselves reject any notion that the world will end. Pedro Celestino Yac Noj, a Mayan sage, burned seeds and fruits to mark the end of the old calender at a ceremony in Cuba. He said: "The 21st is for giving thanks and gratitude and the 22nd welcomes the new cycle, a new dawn."

moi,

These theories are not new. They have been around for a while. For interesting reading, acquire "The Secret of Atlantis" by Otto Muck published in 1954. (http://www.amazon.com/The-Secret-Atlant ... +otto+muck) It is out of print but one may acquire a copy of it if one hunts hard enough. It is worth the hunt.

You will love it!

P.S. Get the English version and not the German version unless you are fluent in German.

Don't ruin it for me.

I'm holding out for doom, death, damnation and destruction on par with the 2012 film!

What a great way of expressing yourself! Mind if I borrow it for occassional use in the future?

Certainly, you may borrow it as suits you.

I am not anyone, therefore, I cannot truthfully answer the question, because I am not able to represent anyone.

However, with the computer I am using that Morse Code translation program plays translated Morse Code at very close to 30 words per minute, a pace beyond what I learned to copy by ear easily. I happen to hold an Extra Class amateur radio license, but got it when copying 20 words per minute was no longer required.

Am I able to understand Morse Code at 30 words per minute? Yes, not easily, and not without a very high error rate.

I occasionally use a MFJ 418 Pocket Morse Code Tutor to keep from losing my Morse Code capability.

Morse Code, using the MFJ 418, "jumbles" for me at around 45 words per minute. I guess I need a lot more code practice...

When nothing more useful gets my attention, I use my MFJ 418 Pocket Morse Code Tutor. The fastest it will do 60 words per minute, which is nicely faster than I can copy. The slowest it will go is 3 words per minute.

At 3 words per minute, I have to write down what I copy a letter at a time, that is vastly too slow for me to simply copy by ear.

I did not notice a speed control on that translator software...
