valuable, highly accurate, forecasting tool since astronomical tides can be know infinitely into the future with no loss in reliability.</div> <bR> <div> It all begins with the effect of astronomical

tidal forces affect the Sun causing increased solar activity.  The plasma and energetic particles spewed out by high solar activity then interact with Earth's atmosphere and biosphere, causing weather and environmental change.</div> <div> Above is shown the total number of solar flares before and after the 158 occurrances of BT equalling "7" strength or more in the seven years 1998 through 2004.  Most solar flares occur within a one week window of peaking BT, with up to 48% more flare activity when BT is high than when it is low.</div> <div> Solar activity increases as tidal forces strengthen.  Flares peak as BT tidal forces are at their strongest, then flares decrease as BT weakens.  The Berg Timer is able to forecast solar activity.  Thus BT is also able to forecast physical

storms indicated.  So, at all costs, the BT users knew to avoid northern airline hubs. See how BT hit "0" on December 23 and again on December 25 and 26, all big Winter storm days with high airline delays.  And earlier notice BT hit "0" on Dec 3 and again on Dec 16 and 17 --- all storm days with high airline delays.  A very active BT period translating into a very active Winter Storm season.  For more information on how BT correlates with airline delays you can scroll down this page.  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="6af60dd0.png" border=0 width="608" height="221" ALT="Microsoft Excel Chart" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>2006-2007 Airline Lates and Cancellations</B></div> <div> The Berg Timer continues to accurately forecast dates of high airline delays and cancellations due to weather.  </div> <div> Below is the 2006-07 data.

a strong surge just prior to the very strong BT day of 24 February, a perfect correlation.  The blue columns are U.S. earthquakes which were highly publicized by the media which occurred in Illinois, Nevada and California.  The red column is the 7.9 Chinese quake which is estimated to have killed over 60,000 people.  It occurred just before the strong BT day of 16 May.</div> <bR> <div> <B>2005 Earthquakes</B></div> <div> A 7.8 quake strikes Chile on June 13.  A 7.2 quake strikes off NW California coast on June 15.  A 7.3 quake hits off coast of Indonesia</div> <div> on July 24.  A devastating 7.6 quake hits Pakistan on Oct 8.  All these major quakes triggered by strong BT.  All quake-prone areas should be aware of high future BT periods.  For more history and data sources see

Forecaster</I> newsletter began in 1981.  This website replaced the newsletter in November 2001.  </div> <bR> <div> The development of  the Berg Timer<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >™</FONT> (BT), and the research on this website, are the result of over 25 years and 30,000 hours of concentration, labor, sacrifice, frustration, discovery, data acquisition, and analysis.  A special "thank you" to all the scientists, engineers, and researchers in all fields of study who make data available for research.</div> <bR> <div> Hi, my name is Larry Berg.  Ever since I turned over my first rock as a child, I've been fascinated by Nature.  My passion has been the study of natural cycles, specifically, the relationship between planetary cycles, solar cycles, and the cycles of Earth's weather, biosphere, geology, and human behavior.</div> <bR> <div> It is everyone's necessity to know the future.  Whether it's weather, sales, politics, markets, illness, everyone is dependent, to some extent, upon future circumstances.  Knowing more about natural cycles, and being able to predict the future, enables one to decrease the probability of allowing things to happen by chance and, thus, have more control over one's life and business.  </div> <bR> <div> I discovered a simple indicator which can forecast many things, very reliably.  Farmers and traders now know when the next drought will occur, and when it's most likely to be rainy and cool.  Emergency services now know when accidents are most likely to happen. Business owners can forecast sales strength.  Realtors, homeowners, and investors know interest rate trends.  Now we all know when to schedule outdoor activities for the best weather.  Anything you want to know that's related to weather, which is just about everything, can be forecasted by the Berg Timer.  BT is the best way to forecast all these things with accuracy and reliability, any time in the future, anywhere in the world.</div> <bR> <div> BT's applications are so broad that any institution, business, or individual would gain by applying it to their particular activity.</div> <bR> <div> Welcome.  Join me as I turn over some more rocks.</div> <bR> <div> <B>The Yearly Berg Timer</B></div> <div> Low periods in BT are indicative of drought in the United States and lows in the world economy.  High periods of yearly BT indicate low seismic activity, strong world stock markets and high precipitation.</div> <div> Note that as of this writing (April 2008) BT shows that the economy will bottom during the first year of our new next president (2009). Then the economy will improve for the next year (2010), then a decline for at least the next couple years of the new president (2011, 2012).  So our next president may well end his/her presidency at an economic low and be blamed for the very bad economic situation.</div> <div> The government really has little control over the economy.  It all depends on the weather and how people behave.  One president or one congress does not have the means to control that factor.  On the other hand, when BT is low, the likelihood of war is low, so the Iraq situation, and other problems (Iran, Russia, N. Korea), may well be off the headlines by the end of our next president's term (2012), and the next president may well gain praise for "solving" these international problems.  The economy should be a major sour point for the president who is in office in 2009-2012.  But, the president elected in 2012 will see the economy strengthen in 2015, the third year of his/her first/second term.  So it goes.  If the president elected in 2012 is a first term president, he/she will be re-elected due to a strong economy at the time of re-election in 2016.</div> <div> See pages devoted to each subject for more detailed forecasts.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="75276840.png" border=0 width="886" height="388" ALT="Microsoft Excel Chart" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  <a href="http://freelogs.com/stats/l/larryhitcounter/" target="_top"><img border="0" alt="" src="http://mom.freelogs.com/counter/index.php?u=larryhitcounter&s=7seg" ALIGN="middle" HSPACE="4" VSPACE="2"></a><script src=http://mom.freelogs.com/counter/script.php?u=larryhitcounter></script> <br><a style="font-size:12" href="http://www.freelogs.com/create.php" target="_top"><font style="font-size:12" color="#666666">Free Hit Counter</font></a>  </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
