I have added a gallery of some the pictures I took while I was at Science Alive from Thursday to Sunday at the Wayville Showgrounds. Thursday was setup day for the 3 day event with Friday set a side for the high school children. I was a part for the Electronics and Communication, and Hackerspace stalls.
It was a great event and ran rather smoothly, we had a lot more interest in the Amateur Radio side of things this year compared to last year. and the Reprap 3D printers of hackerspace were a hoot with the public aswell.
This is a quick video of an AR Drone that one of the people part of our stalls bought in.
Great photos Dale, pity I couldn't make it but going by the photos it looks like everyone had a good time.
yeah it was a great weekend and the Friday night caberet was riot too really enjoyed it, but it was a long one for some of us as we been there since Thursday setting up etc. I am still trying to catch up on the sleep.

Matthew Valdez Plays With a Home Field Advantage
As the San Francisco Giants assistant general counsel, Valdez not only takes pride in his team, but in how he can give back to his hometown
By Billy Yost
"To be honest, I think I have this eternal chip on my shoulder. I never feel like I'm doing enough."
Matthew Valdez, Associate General Counsel, San Francisco Giants Photo: Andy Kuno, San Francisco Giants
The fact that Matthew Valdez is the associate general counsel for the San Francisco Giants should be enough to allay any doubts professionally. The lawyer does business from a sacred realm that's been blessed by the likes of Willie Mays and Willie McCovey. What's more, Valdez is no newcomer. He is a child of San Francisco, having come up in a neighborhood that tech transplants have yet to gentrify decades later. A beneficiary of the best the city has to offer, Valdez has given back to his community in a number of ways. Still, the lawyer says it doesn't ever seem to be quite enough, which is a testament to his commitment to create better lives for San Francisco's next generation.
The associate GC doesn't diminish his difficult circumstances as a kid, nor does he use them as a crutch. "When I grew up, I didn't really ever think about being a lawyer," Valdez says. "Like many families in my neighborhood, some of the issues my family and I faced didn't naturally fit with becoming a lawyer." Valdez grew up mainly with his mother, who was very active in the community, and whom he describes as an amazing person. His family—mostly made up of immigrants and farm workers—dealt with alcohol abuse, drugs, and incarceration.
He could've easily given up before he had the chance to start. "I was always of the mind-set that I wanted to give back to my community and do something good," he explains. In college at California State University, Northridge, Valdez pursued a degree in urban studies and planning. He wound up as a community liaison for the Los Angeles Housing Partnership (LAHP), developing housing and running social programs, food banks, children's programming, and senior and family outreach. Valdez worked in LA's infamous MacArthur Park neighborhood, the birthplace of the gang MS 13 and a nerve center for the community-focused Rampart Division of the LA Police Department.
"I have a tremendous amount of pride for this city. While it was once a much different place than the land of tech that it is today, I still never thought I'd have the opportunity to be part of such an iconic landmark."
After about four years at LAHP, Valdez decided to give law school a shot. "Initially I thought I could go to law school and start my own organization—but my law school debt just sort of piled up," Valdez says, laughing. Having worked in housing development, real estate law seemed an ideal place to start practice, and Valdez spent three years doing deals at the firm Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman prior to coming to the Giants in January 2017.
"Joining Pillsbury's real estate practice directly out of law school, Matt demonstrated to us that he is an exceptionally gifted young lawyer," says Bob Herr, senior partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman. "He immediately began to represent our most important clients, including the San Francisco Giants—which he was delighted to do as a lifelong Giants fan! At Pillsbury, he became thoroughly familiar with the complex legal landscape occupied by a modern sports franchise and stadium complex. We were sorry to lose Matt but are delighted to continue to work with him as a client as he continues to grow and succeed."
While Valdez's tenure at Pillsbury certainly contributed to his maturation as a lawyer, the civic work he does also deeply informs his practice. "Dealing with people from all different walks of life is why I'm able to be especially effective," Valdez says. "I have a lot of experience negotiating agreements between often very difficult parties, so it's become my strong suit." Valdez says that while coming in-house with the Giants is certainly a change of mentality from working as outside counsel, it does offer him a different perspective. "I'm fortunate because as an outside lawyer, you're given as much information as they think you need—and you're told to run with it," Valdez explains. "Here, I'm part of the business team and part of a lot of things that aren't strictly within the purview of the legal department."
One of Valdez's biggest transactions thus far is the renovation of Scottsdale Stadium and development of the Giants' new minor league spring training facility in Arizona. "The team has been looking to make our players feel like our facilities are on par with the best in the world," Valdez says. He notes that the negotiation between the Giants, the city of Scottsdale, and the nonprofit Scottsdale Charros was complex but ultimately successful. "There are a lot of moving parts to those transactions, but we're going to be able to provide world-class facilities to both our major and minor league operations."
"Here, I'm part of the business team and part of a lot of things that aren't strictly within the purview of the legal department."
As professionally successful as Valdez has become, his community involvement also remains a keen area of interest. Valdez volunteers regularly with Peer Resources, a nonprofit that partners with the San Francisco Unified School District to develop youth by providing opportunities to practice leadership while fostering personal, civic, and social responsibilities. The organization not only makes a real difference in kids' lives, but also in their schools and communities. The lawyer also sits on the board of the nonprofit Imprint City, which offers arts and music education for children of San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood. It's a contribution to the community that's especially rewarding for Valdez.
"This is my hometown. I have a tremendous amount of pride for this city. While it was once a much different place than the land of tech that it is today, I still never thought I'd have the opportunity to be part of such an iconic landmark," he says, referencing his work with the Giants, and, ultimately, San Francisco as a whole. For Valdez, it means one thing to acknowledge loyalty to a city, but another to give back in response to that loyalty.

The women of Sheroes' Hangout serve coffee and share their personal stories.
Priti Salian is a Bengaluru, India–based journalist who has written for The Guardian, CNN.com, The Christian Science Monitor, and many others.
Visitors to Sheroes' Hangout always leave with a sense of fulfillment. It's not only because of the cutting-edge coffee and delicious snacks the café serves.
Opened in December 2014 in Agra, a city in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Sheroes' Hangout started as a crowdfunding project by Stop Acid Attacks, a group committed to ending acts of violence against women. Its "pay as you wish" contributions go toward the rehabilitation of survivors of acid violence in India.
Kumari, who is recovering from her fifth reconstructive surgery, works alongside Rupa, Ritu Saini, Gita Mahor, and Neetu Mahor, all of whom lived a secluded life in their homes for several years, dealing with the pain of a charred face and a scarred soul. Then they discovered "Stop Acid Attacks," a Facebook campaign that was started on International Women's Day in 2013. Based in New Delhi, SAA works with acid attack survivors in India, assisting them with legal and medical issues and helping them deal with the trauma of the attack. Sheroes' Hangout is one of its several initiatives.
SAA has been collecting data through its volunteers across the country and has information on 430 survivors, 350 of whom were attacked in the last two years. It is in touch with, and has assisted, more than 70 of them. According to the data collected, about 70 percent of victims are women, more than 50 percent of whom are attacked by spurned lovers. One of the biggest reasons behind the high rate of acid attacks is the lack of laws against the free sale of acid in India—a liter can be purchased for just 50 cents.
SAA wanted to do something for Gita Mahor, 42, and her daughter Neetu, 26, who were attacked with acid 23 years ago by Mahor's husband, Neetu's father. Both were left with mutilated faces and limited vision. Neetu's one-year-old sister was sleeping next to her during the attack and succumbed to the injuries the acid caused to her. With no one else to support them, mother and daughter were forced to continue living with their assailant. To relieve them from their everyday distress and further domestic violence, SAA found it important to provide them an avenue of earning a livelihood so they could gradually move away from their home and lead a happier life.
One of the objectives of SAA at Sheroes' Hangout was to provide skills training in the subject that each survivor was interested in learning. With SAA's help, Mahor took a baking course at a hotel in Agra and will soon be serving cookies and cupcakes to customers. Neetu, who is almost blind, is taking singing lessons from an SAA volunteer. "I love to welcome the guests at the café cheerfully, so that they know we are coping well," she says.

REX RIDERS or How I Spent My Recent Sabbatical
Much to the chagrin of Closet's Faithful Bloglodytes, the site went on an unintentional hiatus at the start of 2011. The final installment of 2010 concerned the announcement that the opening of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the much-maligned and technically-dangerous Broadway show, was delayed once again. I had reviewed the production a couple weeks before (see post) and took the news as an opportunity to share my beliefs as to how to fix the musical (see "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark Redux").
When the Web-Spinning Spectacle did open a few weeks ago, I was heartened by the news that many of my suggested changes had been implemented, and that the subsequent reviews of the revamped show have been overwhelmingly positive. Far be it for me to take credit for the musical's successful return. After all, many of my criticisms and helpful hints echoed those of other reviewers. Besides, I'm cursed with an overpowering sense of modesty—no one does humility like me!
But I did see Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark's triumphant opening as a sign for Yours Truly to reopen the Closet door, as it were. Fortunately, those forces that steered me clear of the blog have subsided enough for me to do so.
Rex Riders was such a force; one to be reckoned with!
Rex Riders is a Young Adult (YA) novel, which can best be described as Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion classic, The Valley of the Gwangi, meets the young people's western serial of the original Mickey Mouse Club, "Spin and Marty." For those Faithful Bloglodytes too young to remember that Ronald Reagan was once a Hollywood movie star, switch the latter reference with Nickelodeon's late-80's/early 90's teenage sitcom Hey Dude. And if I've still left you scratching your head betwixt text messages, think Jurassic Park meets Cowboys and Aliens.
I'm the proud editor of the book, although I served in other capacities as well.
My involvement on the project began in June 2010 at BookExpo America (BEA), the literary saturnalia for the publishing trade held annually at New York City's Jacob Javits Center. Through my business relationship with Fanfare/Ponent Mon—publisher of translated graphic novels—I received a badge and attended.
Death by ephemera
BEA is a book-lover's dream. Publishers showcase their upcoming line of titles, many giving out galleys—advance unproofed copies—of certain ones about which they are particularly jazzed. Sure, I was excited to get free books, but it's not like I'm starved for reading material. The towering to-be-read stacks in the library of Casa Vroom! threaten to topple anytime a truck passes by, and I'm not especially enamored of suffering the same fate as Langley Collyer who perished under the weight of literally tons of ephemera that he and his brother hoarded in their home.
"Honey, where's the remote?"
My main objective was to network, and in so doing, I stumbled upon the Monstrosities, Inc. booth. Actually, lured would be a better verb to use. Rex Riders was wisely highlighted with giant reproductions of the artwork that lay within the book's pages; beautifully rendered pen-and-ink illustrations of cowboys and dinosaurs that caught my attention like a dog to a squirrel. And there was no choker collar to prevent my charging the booth. There I met the creative genius behind the novel, J. P. Carlson.
Carlson was immediately taken with my affection for his product. He was a fellow dino-phile, and it was love at first cite; that being my citing The Valley of the Gwangi when looking at the Rex Riders art. For the next half hour, Carlson and I geeked out over all things monstrous, from T-rex to Reptilicus, Gorgo to Godzilla, King Kong to King Ghidorah.
Eventually, our conversation turned to the images surrounding us in the booth. The art was familiar and I was pleasantly surprised that it was the work of comic book artist Jim Calafiore, whose penciling on the short-lived 90's Marvel series, Force Works, was a favorite of mine. Calafiore's work was refreshingly economic in an age when the Image Comics style of extreme detailing, cross-hatching, endless speed lines and flash-masquerading-as-storytelling had become the norm. That is not to say Calafiore's style lacks such. He just knows how not to overwork the art, detailing just where needed and only in service to the storytelling.
It was also nice to see that Calafiore hadn't rested on his laurels in the fifteen years since Force Works. Many comic artists who find early achievement do nothing more to advance their craft thinking success precluded their having to do so. Thus, their work becomes stale, stagnating in a morass of been there/done that, and they soon find themselves no longer the "hot" property of comicdom. But it was evident that Calafiore strove to advance his art. There was a confidence and fearlessness not present in his earlier work. Just take a gander at the pieces featured in this post. There's a simplicity that belies the rich detail and depth, creating an excitement and animated quality that raises Calafiore's art above others.
Carlson needn't have explained the plot of his prehistory-meets-the-old-west adventure. He had me at cowboys and dinosaurs. I had to get a copy of his book!
But as a self-publisher Carlson only printed so many galleys, and he was understandably saving those for publishers, editors and industry people who could actually help him see Rex Riders into bookstores. Extensive my experience in the field may be, but I was still a lowly independent contractor seeking a Random House or HarperCollins to call my home.
As Bugs would say: "Time… unh… to employ… unh… a little… unh… stragety!"
"You must also be familiar with Cadillacs and Dinosaurs?" I nonchalantly asked.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was a mid-80s comic book series by artist/writer Mark Schultz, a post-apocalyptic tale of modern man living on a future Earth populated by dinosaurs. Schultz's work is reminiscent of the legendary comic strip and pulp artists of the 30s, such as Roy Krenkel, Burne Hogarth and Frank Frazetta. It's breathtaking and some of the finest work being produced today. I knew damn well Carlson was more than acquainted with the series, and it was a sure bet he was a big fan of Schultz as well. But I was certain Carlson would not know of the Schultz work that graces the first trade paperback of Captain Gravity, a character I created and for which I penned the initial origin and story arc for Penny Farthing Press in 1998.
He didn't, and it didn't take long before he was as eager to read my book as I his. So we agreed to a trade: Rex Riders for Captain Gravity. The transaction was made that next day, and I was reading Carlson's epic that evening.
Schultz's penciled art for the Captain Gravity trade paperback
Rex Riders is a fantastical tale set in the old west at the turn of the century. It's hero is fourteen-year-old Zeke Calhoun, who stumbles upon a fallen otherworldly rider, riddled with bullets, and his even more surprising "horse," a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex. What Zeke doesn't know is that rescuing the stranger would set off a chain of events that would plunge the teen into an incredible adventure, and lead to the discovery of a deadly alliance between Earth and a prehistoric world that could threaten the fabric of both!
Young Adult novel it may be, but I found myself caught up in the saga. The characters were well-defined and interesting—the heroes heroic; the villains despicable. The pacing was excellent with each chapter ending on a cliffhanger which doesn't feel contrived, but rather flows organically from the story. And Carlson blends a nice mix of excitement, suspense, mystery, horror and fun. Calafiore's dazzling illustrations which top every chapter opening with interstitial full-page shots speckled throughout—including one spectacular piece that spans two folios—certainly don't hurt the book's enjoyment, either. I polished off the 400-page galley in a day.
As promised, I shot Carlson an email telling him of my thoughts. I went on to mention the book's massive potential, not only in print but all other forms of media and licensing. My one concern was the galley's many typos and its typesetting, which was filled with widows—paragraphs that end atop the subsequent page using less than a third of the line's width—orphans—words of less than four characters that sit by themselves at the completion of a paragraph—bad word breaks; chapter endings of less than four lines; i.e. the aesthetic qualities of the book that lend to a pleasurable reading experience.
Advance uncorrected proofs are meant to emulate the finished product as closely as possible. True, a few typos will slip through and some typesetting will be overlooked with the intention of fixing the problems before the title sees print. But the galley should essentially be the book before fine tuning, not total restoration. I loved Rex Riders and Carlson. I wanted both to succeed, and the nits I was picking would be the difference between an amateur job and a professional one. But I also apologized, pointing out that I was sure he knew all this and was already taking the necessary steps that would make Rex Riders shine.
Carlson thanked me for my comments. He was aware of the book's faults, but explained that Monstrosities was a company without an editor or typesetter, and then asked if I would I be interested in taking up the cause. Thus, I found myself in the enviable position of marshalling a great book and possibly wonderful series; what I feel could be the next big thing in YA novels.
But don't take my word for it. Check out these reviews from the distinguished Smithsonian magazine website and respected pulp and comic book writer (Green Hornet and Terminator) and historian Ron Fortier for the New York Journal of Books.
Rex Riders is available now. It's a great ride… er… read!

Leeds Rhinos: We were just terrible, admits captain Burrow
TERRIBLE LEEDS Rhinos were poor in every area, captain Rob Burrow admitted after their St Valentine's Day massacre.
Monday, 15th February 2016, 8:03 am
Updated Monday, 15th February 2016, 8:05 am
Carl Ablett is helped off the pitch after picking up an ankle injury.
Rhinos – who won the treble last year – are bottom of First Utility Super League following a 56-12 drubbing at Widnes Vikings.
And Tom Briscoe, Carl Ablett and Ashton Golding all suffered ankle injuries in the first half of Leeds' second defeat in as many games this season.
Briscoe and Golding were both using a crutch after the match, but Ablett was walking unaided.
It was Burrow's first game since taking over as captain from long-term knee injury victim Danny McGuire and he said: "We were wrong in all areas.
"There's no excuses, just terrible.
"I've been here a long time and this club's had quite a few bad days. Rugby league is a rollercoaster – you can be at the top and you can certainly be at the bottom. Today it was terrible, but credit to Widnes, they were outstanding."
Rhinos have six days to get their chins off the floor before the World Club Challenge showdown with North Queensland Cowboys.
"How you deal with lows and how you react is something that defines a team," Burrow said. "We have got to address this and move on. We need to bring out the performance of a lifetime next week."
Burrow admitted the injuries were "a factor", but conceded: "If we'd had those three out there the result would have been the same. It's unfortunate we've lost key players, but we have got to move on."
Coach Brian McDermott largely kept his thoughts to himself. Rhinos trailed 16-0 after 13 minutes, before any of their injuries and McDermott said: "It was so fast and so frantic, they scored their tries so fast, I would need to have a look at it before I give a better assessment, but we weren't great."
McDermott denied Rhinos' performance was due to a bad day at the office, but insisted: "I don't think it is anything long-term." He also refused to blame the spate of injuries on Widnes' artificial pitch and said he did not believe the looming world title match had a bearing on Rhinos' performance. Of the injuries, he said: "I am not sure of the extent of them, but they are very doubtful for next week, all three."
McDermott revealed long-term casualty Jamie Jones-Buchanan is "close" to returning, but added: "It would be silly to rush him back. Beau Falloon, we will have a look, but he was going to be in a boot for another 10 days at least.
"If we do take him out of the boot and play him it'd be a risk."

The Emerging Economic Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Posted by Terry MacKinnell in Economic recessions, financial astrology, macro-astrology
A notable aspect of the COVID-10 pandemic to date is that despite the doomsday news of mass unemployment, massive bailouts and falling stock markets is that this stark financial reality is still taking second place to the health aspect of the pandemic. Is a shift in emphasis between these two parts of the pandemic in the pipeline? The astrology supports this gradual five month shift from the health aspect to economic consequences because in May 2020, Taurus has arrived as a new contender in the fray.
Note: this astrological economic analysis is based mainly on macro-astrology (the astrological ages and their sub-periods) plus some lunar astrology. Details of the mechanics of macro-astrology are available at Age of Aquarius for Dummies. There is no insinuation that both traditional and innovative mundane astrological techniques are not equally valid, as no astrological view has a monopoly of insights.
Table 1 – The Capricorn nano-age with its associated nano-age decans and overflows
The Virgo nano-age decan and overflow (Dec 2019 – May 2020 – Oct 2020) precipitated the COVID-19 pandemic and the influence of Virgo strengthens in May 2020 as it enters its more powerful overflow period (May 2020 – Oct 2020), and this usually would indicate a worsening of (Virgo) public health conditions around the world. This sits in contrast to a growing contingent of countries in late April and early May 2020 moving past the peak of their infection and death curves – or at least flattening of their curve. This appears to be a contradiction, but the astrology suggests that either there is a more destructive second wave coming, or that while a number of countries exit their critical period, many more countries will succumb to a deeper level of vulnerability. The world is certainly not out of the woods of the COVID-19 pandemic despite many positive signs in early May 2020.
Virgo, being the opposite sign to Pisces, always wants to prick the Pisces market bubble, and perhaps this possible increase in severity of the pandemic in the period (May 2020 – Oct 2020) will drag the markets down much further than their lows of around 23rd March 2020? The Virgo nano-age and decan is the first nano-age in the current Capricorn nano-age (Dec 2019 – Mar 2021), but the second decan is the Taurus nano-age decan and overflow (May 2020 – Oct 2020 – Mar 2021), and Taurus always places a focus on finances and banks. By the end of May 2020, we should see the beginning of more dire financial implications of the pandemic, which should peak in October 2020 and then be more significant than the health side of the pandemic from October 2020 onward.
There could also be a baptism of fire in May 2020 for this new Taurus involvement. I have been collecting a number of instances where the full moons, based on the western tropical zodiac, seem to resonate with small sub-periods such as nano-ages and nano-age decans even though nano-ages etc are based on a different zodiac (a version of the sidereal zodiac). Despite this incongruity of tropical and sidereal zodiacs, this interface is showing some remarkable correlations. For example, the Virgo full moon (2nd – 16th March 2020 GMT) situated in the middle of the Pisces lunar month (23rd February – 24th March 2020) aptly demonstrated this connection as two dramatic events in the world coincided.
On the 8th March 2020, one day before the actual Virgo full moon, Italy enacted draconian measures to combat its pandemic crisis, extending it countrywide on the following day (of the actual full moon). Thus began the emergence of the pandemic crisis as a tangible reality in most western countries, and one day after the Virgo full moon, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic.[1] By March 14th, Spain went into lockdown followed by Argentina on March 15th. On the last day of the Virgo full moon, the Dow Jones Industrial Average crashed by the single largest point drop in history and the second-largest percentage drop ever, an even greater crash than Black Monday (1929).[2] This Virgo full moon clearly told the world that the pandemic was no longer a news item but had arrived in earnest.
The following Dow Jones Industrial Average Graph[3] shows that the majority of the collapse of the DJIA occurred from early March 2020 closely associated with the beginning of the two weeks Virgo full moon (2nd – 16th March 2020 GMT). Furthermore, the beginning of the 'recovery' occurred on 23rd March 2020 exactly aligned to the Pisces hotspot at the end of the Pisces lunar month (23rd February – 24th March 2020) as the daily transiting moon returned to the sign of Pisces for 2 ½ days basically on the 22nd and 23rd March 2020 near the very end of the Pisces lunar month.
The hotspot at the end of each lunar month is usually the strongest manifestation of the sign of the lunar month – while the even more powerful full moon activates either the opposite sign or 8th sign from the lunar month. The markets and economy usually flourish under Pisces as Pisces is, and remains, the number one sign in the world today despite the arrival of the Age of Aquarius in 1433 AD.
Extending the lunar hotspot concept, the Taurus lunar month (23rd April – 22nd May 2020) has a very high chance of interfacing with the arrival of the Taurus nano-age decan (May 2020 – Oct 2020) and so there is a high chance that this resonance will trigger some additional financial turmoil of one sort or another, especially at the Taurus hotspot (20th – 22nd May 2020). This also may manifest as the growing chorus of dissenters who do not want the pandemic to interrupt their lives in any way, and just want it all to go away, as Taurus does not like change.
Of course, the opposite is the case with Scorpio, and the Scorpio full moon period (30th April – 14th June 2020) will sting, as is its nature, and people, and thus the markets, will feel more 'vulnerable' and insecure. We should also expect adverse financial circumstances, major bankruptcies or even stress in the banking sector under Scorpio, the sign that brought the Great Recession (2007–9) to the world following the Sub-Prime Crisis.
The other side to the Pisces lunar month (23rd February – 24th March 2020) and Virgo full moon (2nd – 16th March 2020) was the unprecedented drop in the world oil price. Pisces oil will always be under stress under the influence of its opposite sign Virgo. This occurred one day before the exact Virgo full moon when the markets became aware of the oil price war with a plunge by as much as 30 percent, the biggest fall since 1991. This oil war was the result of Russia refusing to abide by new OPEC production reduction guidelines following the massive drop in demand for oil due to the pandemic.
It should be noted that these Virgo and Taurus nano-ages decans are situated in the first half of the Capricorn nano-age and overflow (Dec 2019 – Mar 2021 – Jun 2022) and Capricorn stresses its opposite sign of Cancer or puts Cancer archetypes into adversarial mode. Cancer is the sign of the Middle East (including Saudi Arabia), and is strongly located in the astrological signature for Russia, perhaps going part the way to explaining their recent hostility over oil production. Cancer is the main sign of China, the source of the pandemic, and since the arrival of the pandemic, has been in ultra-antagonistic mode to accusations made against it primarily by President Trump, and for calls for an independent inquiry about the source of the pandemic.
The next lunar influences of note commence with the Cancer lunar month (21st June – 20th July), which begins with an eclipse and strategically contains a Capricorn full moon (28th June – 12th July), resonating with the Capricorn nano-age (Dec 2019 – March 2021). Cancer is also a bit player in the pandemic as the Cancer micro-age and overflow (2000 – 2014 -2029) is in its most powerful quarter (December 2014 – June 2022). With the addition of an eclipse, we should see some dramatic change of course associated with Cancer – which probably means that China will probably significantly change its stance in relation to the public relations onslaught against it by the USA. The Capricorn full moon (28th June – 12th July) will increase the stress level for (Cancer) China or also put them in higher adversarial mode than normal.
The above Cancer lunar month is followed by a second Cancer lunar month (20th July – 19th August) containing the Aquarius full moon (27th July – 11th August 2020). The Aquarius full moon resonates with the powerhouse behind the pandemic – the Aquarius micro-age decan overflow (Dec 2019 – Nov 2024), so we should expect the unexpected, or some new radical direction unfold in relation to the pandemic or international relations, especially between the USA and China. The focus upon Cancer associated with the two consecutive Cancer lunar months (21st June – 19th August 2020) will see some additional focus upon China, the Middle East including Saudi Arabia, Russia and any country with Cancer strongly placed in its astrological signature. This includes the UK, Scandinavia, New Zealand and Canada.
The UK has handled the pandemic in a patchwork and tardy fashion due to initially following the unproven herd immunity approach of letting the pandemic run wild so that the general population obtains immunity, while locking away the vulnerable elderly (Capricorn). This was a spectacular failure. Sweden certainly is having to come to grips with its herd-immunity approach which adequately addresses the freedom of their citizens but may leave the coronavirus out of control – but it at least provides an alternate solution than can be judged postmortem! Canada had its deadliest rampage by a lone gunman on April 18 and 19th, 2020 with 22 people killed, and though not associated to the pandemic, does show how a Cancer country is stressed in a Capricorn period.
Any Cancer period does accentuate stress for any Capricorn country or region, and these include the USA, SE & Central Europe, India and the UK (with a foot in both Cancer and Capricorn)! This Capricorn USA and Cancer China polarity does indicate that the stress level for this bilateral relationship is under considerable strain during these two full moons, Cancer eclipse and Aquarius does not favor (Pisces) USA nor (Cancer) China.
The two Cancer hotspots arriving soon associated with the two consecutive hotspots, 18th – 20th July and 15th to 17th August are also two timeframes to watch, especially with regards to China's hypersensitivity to international opinion, but in addition, any country or region associated with Cancer are also prone to take center stage due to some major event or incidence. With Capricorn a major sign associated with the USA, the USA could become very bellicose under the adversarial 7th house influence, or suffer some major indignity. Perversely, Cancer is the sign on President Trump's 12th house, and rarely does the 12th house produce beneficial outcomes – usually quite the contrary. July and August 2020 will be packed full of bizarre, if not unfortunate developments associated with the Cancer hotspots.
Finally, the arrival in October 2020 of the peak of the Taurus nano-age decan and overflow (May 2020 – October 2020 – March 2021) coinciding with the exit of the Virgo nano-age decan and overflow (Dec 2019 – May 2020 – Oct 2020) strongly implies that the (Virgo) public health issue of the pandemic is no longer relevant, or significantly subsides in some way, but the financial effects become the prime concern. The full detrimental after-effects of the pandemic should appear around March 2021 when the Capricorn nano-age and overflow (Dec 2019 – Mar 2021 – Jun 2022) enters its peak time of influence – which should extend to midway through the Capricorn nano-age overflow period (Mar 2021 – Jun 2022) around October 2021.
Table 2 – The Sagittarius nano-age (and Capricorn nano-age overflow)
The expected economic doom and gloom that we can expect from Capricorn will, surprisingly, be quickly reversed, even if only for a short time. The arrival of the Sagittarius nano-age and decan (March 2021 – June 2022) could see some semblance of economic optimism return by October 2021, but definitely by June 2022 when the Sagittarius nano-age enter its overflow period (June 2022 – August 2033). This positive sentiment, which will be in short supply for most of the coming decade, should show signs of fading from around January 2023. (see The Dynamics of Economic Recessions in the Age of Aquarius for further details on the decade ahead).
I am not making any claim that I have correctly captured the emerging timeline of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic, but I have presented some important and relevant parameters that are like blobs on a white sheet of paper. These blobs will morph into actual reality, and some details may be irrelevant, and other important developments overlooked. I have attempted to maintain the integrity of the astrological insights, and wait to see how reality unfolds.

Hi Terry. In light of Elon Musk becoming the world's richest man(!!!) as of today, I wanted to ask if you do pieces on individual companies as opposed to the entire financial market. It'd be interesting to see an evaluation of Tesla, from an astrological perspective. And given that I think one of your charts showed a likely crash in 2028 at the end of the Gemini micro age, and given how overdue the over-valued tech sector's bubble is for bursting, I do think it may burst this decade and leave many people out of jobs and in a destitute position, which would be a horrid position to be in after the proper, systemic recovery we will probably lack after the cracks and fault lines that the virus-_ financial destruction wrought upon countries in the world this year exposed. And I mean, what else, if not in a bubble, is a salad company with only a few branches allowed to be valuated at $1 billion before it's even went public – yes, this is a real company I've never heard of, I've asked the youngins in my family too and they've never heard of it… kids don't even eat salad!
If Tesla and/or Bitcoin crash, or if a wider number of over-valued tech companies crash, whether now or in a few years, we could be in for some bad, bad times. And I dread to think it would happen.
But mainly I wanted to know about Tesla. I veer between thinking it will (and should) do fine. The CEO is making the world a better place. Even though I'd rather walkable cities, better public transportation and more bikes, if people are going to use cars then I'd rather those cars be electric and powered by renewable energy. And he does seem to deliver on his promises. But on the other hand, I do think his company is overvalued. His company is not anywhere close (yet) to traditional carmakers. It's an odd (but very human) thing to have faith in only the idea, or the man behind the idea, but so many young men nowadays seem to be putting all their money, and their trust, in this, along with bitcoin.

Home / Artist of the week / 2017 / March / Artist of the Week: Shepard Fairey
Artist of the Week: Shepard Fairey
PopUpPainting's 'artist of the week' is Shepard Fairey.
Shepard Fairey (b.1970) is an American graphic designer, illustrator and street artist.
The artist studied at the Rhode Island School of Design.
In 1989 Fairey became known for his 'Andre the Giant has a Posse (OBEY)' sticker campaign. The campaign involved Fairey placing hundreds of stickers on walls across New York City. The stickers featured an anonymous mans face and the word 'OBEY' printed beside it. The image used was appropriated from the comedic supermarket tabloid 'Weekly World News'. The 'Obey Giant' stickers became widely known and soon the image was considered an iconic piece of international street art. Fairey intended 'Obey Giant' to inspire curiosity and cause people to question their relationship with their surroundings. According to the Obey Giant website, "The sticker has no meaning but exists only to cause people to react, to contemplate and search for meaning in the sticker".
Shepard Fairey grew the 'Obey Giant' image in to a business selling prints, t-shirts etc. During this time the artist also co-founded the design studio BLK/MRKT Inc. which specialised in guerrilla marketing for clients such as Pepsi, Hasbo and Mozilla.
In 2008 Shepard Fairey's career took another leap forward when the artist designed, the now iconic, 'Hope' poster for Barack Obama's presidential campaign. The image began as one of a series of many in support of Obama's presidential campaign and eventually pulled ahead as a defining image, not only for 2008, but perhaps for many years to come.
Fairey was arrested in 2009, on his way to the premiere of his show at the ICA in Boston on two outstanding warrants related to graffiti.
In 2014, Fairey painted a towering mural, 9-storeys high, paying tribute to Nelson Mandela and the 25th anniversary of the Purple Rain Protest.
We will be featuring Shepard Fairey's work all week on our Facebook and Twitter pages, but in the meantime here is a selection of our favourite works by the artist:

Tesla buys Maxwell Technologies for its ultracapacitor secrets
Not just another battery breakthrough myth
By Greg Synek on February 5, 2019, 8:50 7 comments
In brief: Ultracapacitor maker Maxwell Technologies has been acquired by Tesla, likely for dry electrode intellectual property. For just $218 million, Tesla is well on its way to better batteries and energy distribution systems for its vehicles.
Tesla has taken ownership energy storage firm Maxwell Technologies as part of an all-stock deal for $218 million. As an expert in ultracapacitors and solid state energy storage, Maxwell may help Tesla develop dry electrode technology.
Instead of relying upon chemicals for energy storage, ultracapacitors store their energy electrostatically and do not wear out the same way that batteries do. Dry electrodes used in ultracapacitors have relatively long lifespans and can be made from a variety of advanced materials such as carbon nanotubes and carbon aerogels.
Another advantage of using capacitive storage is the ability to very quickly charge or discharge regardless of ambient temperatures. Tesla already can get their cars quickly off the line, but an even quicker burst of power could push even greater limits. Regenerative braking could also be made even more aggressive if desired through the use of ultracapacitors.
Tesla may not have any plans of directly using ultracapacitors, but borrowing the construction techniques and applying them to existing batteries could allow for improvements.
@yes_andre I'm a big fan of ultracapacitors. Was going to do my PhD at Stanford on them. But we need a breakthrough in energy density...
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 20, 2013
Aside from the technological innovations that Tesla hopes to gain from Maxwell, Elon Musk also has shown a personal interest in ultracapacitors. Back in 2013, he tweeted about considering doctoral research on them at Stanford. Musk may not have followed through on such plans, but he does have a track record of implementing technology that many others would have dismissed as nothing short of ridiculous.

The truest gift of Christmas is the opportunity to enjoy The Spirit within the Silence. Connection with Source energy is something we all instinctually know how to do. It is not something you can teach, so this message is a reminder and tribute to this fantastic experience that comes but once a year, unless you claim it every day.
Thinking back over my last 48 Christmas's one experience stands out above all the rest. Please join me here as we revisit this moment of deep unabiding Joy. The traditions of Christmas are many and one in particular touches my heart each year, the Christmas tree. It is a symbol of reverence to all life and has always played the center piece at Christmas throughout my life. No matter where I am or what the circumstances are, I manage to get a few minutes alone with the Christmas tree.
The Christmas tree symbolizes eternal life its evergreen nature and green color. The triangle shape denotes the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The tree points up and has a star at the top to denote the Highest Power. We wrap the tree in light too symbolizing the Light that fills each of us and connects us to Heaven. The gifts we place underneath are acts of charity and love. The ornaments we place on the tree provide our individual or ego touch, an expression of personality!
As a child I would lie on the living room carpet under the tree before the gifts were added and marvel at the lights and simply feel the energy flowing through this gateway to Heaven. As I ponder this experience, the smell of the pine scent takes me back to a simpler time when people were still living in nature. The lights of the tree are magical and colorful each representing a color of the rainbow and the diversity on earth. It is a reminder that we are all of One Light.
Amid this season of hustle and bustle, please remember to connect with this Silence as it is indeed the reason for the season!

I thought I would write a post today about our newest member of the family.
We moved into our current house in June last year. Having a really decent sized garden and knowing that I would be a stay at home mum meant one thing for me, I wanted us to get a dog!
I didn't grow up with a dog in my household as a child, but I have always adored dogs, and grew up knowing other extended family members and close friends who had dogs. It was always something that I wanted, and as soon as the opportunity came about, I talked to Mr. S about in and we decided to go for it!
We started looking into it even before we completed on our house. We would go online and get an idea of what may be out there for us.
First of all we did start to look at getting a rescue dog. We contacted numerous shelters enquiring, and we were always pipped to the post as the dogs we were enquiring about were already getting re-homed.
After almost giving up hope, I saw an advert of a local breeder selling cocker spaniel puppies pinned on the noticeboard of a waiting room. I took a photo on my phone of the advert and sent it to Mr. S – He had said he didn't want a puppy and wanted one who was about a year or so old, but I thought I may as well chance my arm! Haha!
I didn't get a reply to the message so I assumed he didn't like the idea and chose to ignore the suggestion.
But… he got home from work that evening and announced he had contacted the breeder and we were going to choose a puppy that very weekend.
Oh my goodness! I could have taken all of them home. There was a litter of 7 puppies but we all fell for this one.
We had to wait a couple of weeks, but on the first weekend of the school holidays, we brought Bruce home.
Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Lee, Bruce Banner, Bruce Wayne, Bruce Forsyth. All awesome people (including Superheroes, much to our sons delight) An awesome name for an awesome dog!
Raising a puppy, alongside a potty training toddler and an into everything 5-year-old? We don't do things by halves do we?!
We were firm with him from the off, we had a puppy crate where he slept at night and he was picking up on commands we had taught him from about 11 weeks onwards.
Our children adored him from the off, and our daughter in particular is very attached to him, I believe that interaction with animals is wonderful for children.
If I was not a stay at home mum, I don't think that having a dog would be right for us. They are demanding of your time. There's the walks, the grooming, the attention, and juggling a career outside of the house, raising two children and having the dog would for me be a step too far.
I love him to the moon and back, he is the most affectionate puppy, and I am always pleased to see him in the morning when I come downstairs, and I love the fact that he gets me out of the house each day for a decent amount of exercise. Would I aimlessly walk around a field daily on my own for an hour, of course not!
There are downsides to having a dog in the family.
They are 'a tie' – days out can no longer be as spontaneous as they once were, we have to ensure that we will either be back home in good time or there is someone available to go and at least look-in on him.
They are not cheap! Insurance, vets bills, puppy food and treats all add up.
They chew your stuff! Bruce is a prolific Lego thief and sock chewer, your floors need to be spotless when there is a puppy about, in their eyes, if its on the floor, its theirs!
For us, getting a dog was the right decision. We could not be without him and he is well and truly part of the family.
I am sure there will be many more posts to come about the antics of Bruce!

Transitions Out of Institutions
Increased availability of housing choice vouchers coupled with recent changes to the Money Follows the Person (MFP) program and the enhanced federal funding available to states under the American Rescue Plan Act create an unprecedented opportunity for local, tribal, state, and national partnerships to help individuals who choose to return to the community to achieve their goal.
Transitions are a core service for centers for independent living (CILs). Many area agencies on aging (AAAs) and aging and disability resource centers (ADRCs) offer services to assist with transitions back home from hospitals, nursing homes, or other institutions.
Nursing Home Transitions and Housing During COVID-19
Ensuring community living has taken on even greater urgency due to COVID-19. People in nursing homes, congregate homeless shelters, and other institutions faced high risk of COVID-19 transmission, illness, and even death. The links below provide information and guidance to support people living in institutions to transition to homes in the community that have access to services and supports.

Curtis Mayfield was one of the country's most successful R&B artists and interpreters of the civil rights movement.
In March 1968, Washington Post reporter Ivan Brandon got a tip: Howard University students were about to occupy the school's Administration Building. If he got there fast, he could report the story from inside its corridors.
Roughly 1,200 students filled the building, and about 2,500 rallied outside. The protesters had four demands: more courses on African-American history and culture; disciplinary charges dropped against a group who had disrupted the school's Charter Day; the establishment of a judicial process; and the resignation of university president James Nabrit. When the negotiations dragged and students' morale flagged, protesters turned on a song, Keep on Pushing.
I've got to keep on pushing (mmm-hmm), I can't stop now.
Move up a little higher, Some way, somehow.
After winning on two of the four demands, the protesters declared victory.
"When the negotiations were finally over and the kids were cleaning up the building, they were blasting We're a Winner," Brandon says.
Boy, you can't make it, 'cause a feeble mind is in your way.
Both songs were written by Curtis Mayfield, who began as a gospel singer as a youngster in Chicago and grew to become one of the country's most successful R&B producers, composers and performers.
Mayfield launched his professional career in 1958, as a 16-year-old background singer for The Roosters. The five-member group would become The Impressions, known for silky love songs and fronted by vocalist Jerry Butler. When Butler left the group after its first big hit, For Your Precious Love, the group continued as a trio. In 1961, they had their own big hit, Gypsy Woman. From then on, Mayfield was the group's chief songwriter. He left The Impressions for a solo career in 1970.
Mayfield died in 1999. He had been paralyzed from the neck down for about a decade after lighting equipment fell on him at a concert in Brooklyn, but he continued to compose and sing.
His successes are legendary. The Impressions' version of Amen was featured in the Lilies of the Field, the movie that won Sidney Poitier an Oscar in 1964. In 1970, he wrote the soundtrack for Super Fly, another cultural milestone. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame both as a member of The Impressions and as a solo artist. Shortly before his death, he learned he'd be inducted into BMI's Songwriter Hall of Fame.
It was We're a Winner, with its unapologetic celebration of African-American achievement and culture, that cemented Mayfield's status as the musical spokesman for the younger wing of the civil rights movement.
The song was released in late 1967. By the time of the Howard University protests, it was No. 1 on Billboard's R&B chart and No. 14 on the pop chart. Nevertheless, its lyrics got the song banned on several radio stations, including pop powerhouse WLS in Mayfield's hometown of Chicago.
"I think the reaction to the song was shock; Curtis had been such a voice for harmony and reconciliation," says Craig Werner, an Afro-American studies professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of Higher Ground: Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Curtis Mayfield and the Rise and Fall of American Soul.
The original lyrics were even more blunt. In the 2008 documentary Movin' On Up, Impressions member Sam Gooden said Mayfield had written lyrics like "The black boy done dried his eyes" and "There'll be no more Uncle Tom, at least that blessed day has come." But he softened the lyrics at the urging of musical arranger Johnny Pate.
"He didn't participate in marches and things like that… I never knew him to vote," says Todd Mayfield, whose biography of father, A Traveling Soul, was published in 2016.
Those influences showed up both lyrically and musically.
Mayfield didn't have a formal music education, so he worked closely with Pate when it came to arrangements. The luscious strings found in most of The Impressions' songs never left. Toward the end of the '60s, though, Mayfield's songs lost some of the softness found in the earlier hits and took on a rhythmic, funkier edge, Werner says.
Werner is convinced that if Mayfield were still alive he would be a bridge between communities that are profoundly divided. He definitely would have responded to the political and social winds now buffeting the country.


For the first time, the complete telephone conversations between President Nixon and George Shultz, as captured by the Nixon taping system, are assembled here in a single, easy-to-use collection. These files include every phone conversation Shultz took part in, either placed or received, in which at least one party was using a telephone that was recorded as part of the Nixon taping system. That included telephones in the Oval Office, Nixon's suite in the Executive Office Building, the White House residence, and Camp David.
This collection does not include conversations that Shultz initiated or received in other locations. This collection contains conversations from April 13, 1971 to June 9, 1972, which represents all such telephone conversations from the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA's) declassified and released portion of the Nixon tapes, even though the Nixon taping system contains telephone recordings through the spring of 1973 which will become available to the public at a later date. For more information on the timeline of future Nixon tape releases, click here.
Shultz served in both the Nixon and Reagan administrations in a variety of roles, including as Secretary of Labor (1969-1970), the first Director of the Office of Management and Budget (1970-1972), Secretary of the Treasury (1972-1974), and Secretary of State (1982-1989). He continues to be very active as of this writing, and even recently served as an emissary to Russia for the Obama administration, along with former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and James Baker.

Welcoming The Hoosiers and Aladdinsane to this year's Dartford Festival – Dartford Borough Council
by DLiving | May 20, 2016 | Where to go locally
Welcoming The Hoosiers and Aladdinsane to this year's Dartford Festival
The Hoosiers and Aladdinsane are the next two great acts to be announced for this year's FREE Dartford Festival.
UK indie pop band The Hoosiers shot to fame in 2007 when their first single "Worried about Ray" reached number five in the UK Singles Chart. Along with this, their debut album "The Trick To Life" led to the release of several more hit singles including "Goodbye Mr. A" and "Cops and Robbers".
The band has continued to make music, releasing a further three studio albums – "The Illusion of Safety" in 2010, "The News From Nowhere" in 2014 and "The Secret Service" in 2015.
The Hoosiers are touring and performing at festivals around the UK this summer and we're looking forward to welcoming them to the main stage at the Dartford Festival on Sunday afternoon.
Following David Bowie's passing in January this year, his music has reached out to new audiences young and old.
On Saturday 16th July, festivalgoers can hear the sound and experience the vision through the performance of Paul Henderson and Aladdinsane – widely acclaimed as the best Bowie tribute in the UK.
Aladdinsane have played theatres and venues across the country for the past ten years and have received rave reviews.
The band will be performing classic Bowie songs like Starman, Heroes, Life On Mars, Jean Genie, Golden Years, Let's Dance, China Girl and Ashes To Ashes, to name but a few!
