<description><![CDATA[ Tropical Astrology is the old astrological division of the sky. When the Zodiac was invented, the position of the constellations were written down. But since then, the whole Zodiac has shifted almost a whole sign due to the Precession, so whoever was once born a Virgo, is now probably born a Leo - with the personality changes that come with it. Tropical Astrology ignores this, and keeps using the old tables - which have nothing to do with where the planets actually are in the sky. <br /><br />Sidereal Astrology acknowledges the problem with the shifting signs, but digs itself deeper into the ludicrous: The more sidereal astrologers try to follow the real division of the sky, the more they are distancing themselves from the old wisdom. Sidereal astrologers cannot claim to build on ancient knowledge, but have to change the signs and characteristics over time. <br /><br />They are in turn making the whole concept of Astrology invalid. The real astronomical signs are a few days off from the Sidereal system by now - so not even Sidereal Astrology is using the correct star signs.<br />Sidereal astrology uses the actual constellation in which the sun is located at the moment of birth as its basis; tropical astrology uses a 30-degree sector of the zodiac as its basis. <br /><br />Tropical astrology is the most popular form and it assigns its readings based on the time of the year, while generally ignoring the positions of the sun and constellations relative to each other. Sidereal astrology is used by a minority of astrologers and bases its readings on the constellations near the sun at the time of birth. <br /><br />According to some astrologers, the data support the hypothesis that there is a connection between heavenly bodies and human events. There are correlations too synchronous to be mere chance between astrological signs and such things as personality, emotions and human destiny.<br /><br />--<br /><br/>Ashok Arora providing <a href="http://www.ewebguru.com/">Cheap web hosting</a>, <a href="http://www.vastupyramid.co.in/">Vastu Consultant</a>and<a href="http://mkgastrologer.com/">Family Disputes Resolution</a><br /><br /><br /><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Groups of signs in astrology share certain characteristics that are classified according to four earthly elements – fire, air, water and earth. It helps explain why some signs are more compatible than others. <br /><br />The Fire signs are Aries (March 21 to April 19), Leo (July 23 to August 22)  and Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21). Fire people are leaders, dynamic. They light up everything around them. Because Fire needs Air to exist, Fire signs are most compatible with the Air signs. Water is anathema to Fire and a Water person could try to dampen the dynamism and enthusiasm that defines Fire.<br /><br />The Air signs are Aquarius (January 20 to February 18), Gemini (May 21 to June 21) and Libra (September 23 – October 22). These are the idea signs, the air that breathes a spark into a flame. They can’t be tied down. They require freedom of movement and thought. <br /><br />The water signs of Cancer (June 22 to July22), Scorpio (October 23 to November 21) and Pisces (February 19 to March 20) are characterized by the phrase still waters run deep. They’re emotional and sensitive, given to deep thoughts and conversations. Just as water can blur an image or hide secrets within its depths, so do Water signs have secretive emotions and abilities.  The Water signs are most compatible with Earth signs.<br /><br />The Earth signs are Taurus (April 20 – May 20), Virgo (August 23 to September 22) and Capricorn (December 22 to January 19). They are stable and consistent. While not as compassionate as the water signs, they are nonetheless nurturing. They can be rigid (stick in the mud) and easily stuck in routines. They are most compatible with Water signs, as Water is necessary for the Earth to properly nurture growing things. Earth helps Water contain itself, which is often necessary for survival on the planet.<br /><br /><br />--<br /><br/>Ashok Arora providing <a href="http://www.ewebguru.com/">Web Hosting Services </a>, <a href="http://mkgastrologer.com/">Astrologer in Delhi</a>and<a href="http://mkgastrologer.com/">Astrologer In NCR</a><br /><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<title>A Global Disaster From The Perfect Solar Storm</title>

<description><![CDATA[ The average solar cycle lasts for eleven years. The cycle includes a minimum of solar activity and a maximum. The sun is unusually quiet right now and has been for some time but there should be an increase in solar activity at some point in the near future.<br /><br />The best current scientific estimate for the next solar maximum is 2012. If this estimate is correct, there is still a few years to try and prevent the potential of a future global disaster. A disaster that would begin on the surface of the sun and could end with tragedy on earth.<br /><br />The surface of the sun is a mass of plasma that contains highly charged energy particles. Once in a while, some of these particles escape the suns surface and a mass of plasma travels through space on the solar wind. This process is known in scientific terms as a coronal mass ejection but it can also be called a solar storm.<br /><br />A disaster for the planet would occur if a solar storm reaches and hits the earths magnetic shield in just the right way. If it were to happen, millions of people would lose their lives and the planet would be thrown into chaos as the technology that has become crucial to every day living suddenly gets taken away.<br /><br />The perfect solar storm will start with skies that will be filled with a bright red aurora. However, soon everything will become dark as every electric bulb becomes devoid of light. The storms damage to the electric grid would be caused through an increased DC current. The runaway current would knock out and melt hundreds of key transformers within minutes, cutting off power for hundreds of millions of people.<br /><br />Those damaged transformers cannot be repaired only replaced and installing a replacement takes a well-trained crew a week or more. Its incredible to consider that most major electrical utilities have just one or two suitably trained crews available for these type of transformer repairs. In addition, there are only a few spare transformers available and the rest would have to be built to order. Its a process that can take nearly twelve months.<br /><br />So, the power blackout from the perfect solar storm would last for months but its not just the absence of light that would be the problem. Drinking water would still come through the taps for maybe half a day after the storm. With no electricity to pump water from reservoirs, there would be no more tap water after that.<br /><br />The electric grid is necessary for almost all natural gas and fuel pipelines to operate. As a result, fuel and natural gas will quickly run out and without food delivery, supermarket shelves would soon become bare. Soon it would become necessary to control public hysteria and the military would have to be called in to restore civil order<br /><br />There will be no power for heat, cooling or refrigeration until the grid is repaired and after their back up generators run out, hospitals will not be able to provide modern healthcare. A lack of water and food will result in spreading disease but Pharmaceutical companies without electricity will not be able to produce the necessary medicine.<br /><br />Of course, many will say that this is absurd science fiction and it cannot happen here, but this chilling disaster scenario was outlined in a report released last January (funded by NASA) by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS).<br /><br />The fact is that a storm from the sun did hit the earth's magnetic field in 1859. The effect of this solar storm on earth became known as the Carrington Event. The event was named after the amateur astronomer who observed two patches of intensely bright and white light emanating from a large group of sunspots that may have produced the event.<br /><br />The solar storm that produced the Carrington Event created a red aurora across the planet from the poles to the tropics. Throughout the world, telegraph systems crashed, machines burst into flames, and electric shocks rendered operators unconscious. Compasses and other sensitive instruments reeled as if struck by a massive magnetic fist.  It can happen again and the technology of the planet is now much more advanced and vulnerable.<br /><br />The next solar maximum is estimated to return in about three years. A global disaster from the perfect solar storm can be prevented with proper contingency planning. There is still time for the government to be proactive and prepare to avoid disaster by creating a potential response to quickly repair the damage to the electric grid from the perfect solar storm.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<br />James William Smith has worked in Senior management positions for some of the largest Financial Services firms in the United States for the last twenty five years.

<description><![CDATA[ Astronomy tries to come up those answers. Like some knowledge, Astronomy asks far more questions then it can answer. Nevertheless, that&#39;s part of what makes it so fascinating. Ever since the first individual wondered what was outside the nexthorizon, humans have been galling to enlarge their boundaries. Astronomy is carrying on that bright tradition. It&#39;s a artful bounteous horizon, and perhaps one that doesn&#39;t end? Who knows, exclusive astronomers of the coming module be healthy to respond that distrust.<br /><br />Astronomy Begins At Home<br /><br />We don&#39;t have to go that far with astronomy, to be extremely fascinated. Our own pleasant solarise has some attractive interesting gear ready on. Did you know, that the solarise moves at an esteem of 12 miles per jiffy. That&#39;s 720 miles per summarize, or 43,200 miles per hour. Good abstract it&#39;s got a bounteous gas tank huh? And it&#39;s affecting towards the plan Hercules. Better got discover of the way Herc! Another interesting astronomy delicacy here. I bet you intellection the solarise was most the hottest abstract around. Well, not even close. The shell of the solarise is hot, most 10,000 degreesfarenheit . Nevertheless, there is something here on connector that is 3 epoch hotter. Care to guess? Some people have even been touched by it, and lived to tell the feature. Lightening is 30,000 degreesfarenheit . Cool huh? One more startling solarise statement. There are 92 innate principle on earth. You advert that periodic table of elements from high school science, those elements. Well, two thirds of those elements have been identified in the sun. Not constant who checkered, but they are there. And, scientists consortium that the other third are most likely in the solarise as well. Hard to judge our bag concern comprehensive of water could be so strictly linked to that bounteous provoked ball of gas. Astronomy spins a beautiful fascinating tale.<br /><br />Future Worlds<br /><br />Like those adventurers who came before us and were worn to venture afar their horizon. I think that star gazers of today module be our eminent boundary busters. It may have been a while since people have walked on the moon. Nevertheless it&#39;s just a distrust of time. Human spirit justdoesn&#39;t allocate us to land for what we have. We&#39;re always looking afar. And astronomy structure that map, and trying to support decipher down those boundaries of today. It&#39;s not exclusive fascinating to picture where we module go next, but essential to our survival. We expenses the funds of this connector at an alarming velocity, and earlier before later stuff module run out. The planet module outlast of course, but we may not. It instance to venture out, and find another planet like earth. Not just for the sake of discovery, but because we ought to. Soon. Hopefully, we module succeed there smarter, and a lowercase more careful. In the mean time, astronomy is pavement the channel for ours and upcoming generations to follow.<br /><br />--<br />Lancers International School is one of the well known school which is Part of  <a href="http://www.internationalschoolindia.in">International Schools India</a> , <a href="http://www.internationalschoolindia.in/public-school-india.html">Public Schools India</a> and <a href="http://www.internationalschoolindia.in/secondary-school-india.html">Secondary Schools India</a>.<br>Click here to read more on <a href="http://article-guard.co.za"> secondary schools india </a><br><a href="http://worldofarticles.co.za"> secondary schools india </a><br><a href="http://getico.co.za"> secondary schools india </a>.<br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<title>Ancient Indian Matrimonial Astrology-Significance of kundli charts and consequence of being manglik</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Kundli is an Indian (vedic) astrological chart. It plots the positions of 9 planets across a number of houses (representing the solar system) in a graphical representation. The position of the planets is based on the exact time of one's birth.<br /> <br /> It is widely believed, and accepted, in Indian culture that from these astrological charts the characteristics and traits of a person can be identified and their fate predicted. For more details www.be-a-stargazer.com For this reason kundli charts are well used to determine whether a couple will be suitable in marriage - a process labelled 'kundli matching'. Before a marriage proposal is made kundli matching is performed to identify whether the marriage will be a good fit.<br /> <br /> Significance of kundli charts and consequence of being manglik<br /> <br /> From the charts a number of factors can be identified such as wealth, education, successfulness, and even children. However it can also be used to find out negative traits.<br /> <br /> The most infamous trait is the Manglik Dosha. This condition occurs as a result of the planet Mars falling in either the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th houses on the Kundli chart. Being based on Mars, the planet of fire and heat, it is said that manglik people can cause a lot of tension, rage, argument, and violence by nature. A marriage between manglik and non-manglik is said to be destined for hard times and ultimately the possible death of the spouse.<br /> <br /> A celebrity example of kundli matching and belief is the marriage of Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. It was determined that Aishwarya was manglik and for this reason their kundli charts did not fit well. However to satisfy both their love and the jyoshi's (astrologers) a marriage ceremony was performed between Aishwarya and a tree. It was said that the tree would absorb Aishwarya's manglik fire, a sacrifice if you will.<br /> <br /> Can manglik marry non-manglik?<br /> <br /> Yes of course! This can be done by manglik wearing coral, for example, that absorbs aggression from the manglik. For more details www.fire-itup.com Indian rituals and ceremonies can be performed to bless couple and reduce effects of manglik dosha (for example, Aishwarya & Abhishek). And in other cases other kundli charts can neutralise the effects of manglik so it works OK.<br /> <br /> Kundli matching: interpretation<br /> <br /> BE AWARE: a kundli chart should be accurate and consistent from all sources as long as the exact time and place of birth is identified, minor variances can have a big impact on what the kundli says! A number of free Kundli charts services are now offered online for the curious.<br /> <br /> The challenge of Kundli matching is of course interpretation - the reading of the chart to come up with predictions about the person and compatibility of them in marriage with others. In general jyoshi's (vedic astrologers) can be used to provide an accurate interpretation, though it is sometimes very problematic that different ones can tell you quite different things! Online matrimonial sites are now providing free kundli charts and even perform automated kundli matching and match-making!<br /> <br /> These features and advances just highlight the strong beliefs and trust placed on kundli and vedic astrology in Indian culture!</p> <br /><br />--<br /><a href="http://www.art-of-astrology.com" target="_blank">www.art-of-astrology.com</a>    <a href="http://www.be-a-stargazer.com" target="_blank">www.be-a-stargazer.com</a>   <a href="http://articlejam.co.za">Astrology</a>-<a href="http://articlehole.co.za">Finance</a> <br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Sun        <br /><br />Expressing the Sun as a walk, one is sure, steady of purpose, far sighted toward the fulfillment of one’s life purpose. The chest is open, shoulders back, head proud, eyes a little above the horizon. There is no social contact although a moderate smile shows friendliness and goodwill to all. The Sun is the one who chooses, who commands, organizes, encourages, vitalizes, the most important of all the planets, the essence of one’s true nature, spirit in form. Look at the Sun in the sky. It has no embarrassment, no modesty, and no self-doubt. It is. It is absolute. With Venus the Sun can become radiantly beautiful and needs to be careful of narcissism; with Mercury there can be very active mental ability, with Jupiter a great majesty, with Pluto a highly conscious power to influence others and control events.<br /><br />Moon    <br /><br />Moon is deep within, walking with an awareness of what is felt, the atmosphere, the hidden nuances, undercurrents. She flows into spaces, avoiding disharmony seeking to meditate, moderate, and modulate. Always responsive she reflects her environment, subjectively and unconsciously choosing what makes her comfortable and safe. As a baby the Moon is trusting and needing to be nurtured, giving a pure innocence in return. As a Mother the Moon yearns to give what once she yearned to receive, the perfect rounded gentle all-fulfilling breast of Mother love. She is compassion itself. She softens, mutes, touches with a grace born of knowing how we are all suffering and, as Kwan Yin, seeks to answer all our cries.  <br /><br />Mercury <br /><br />Mercury is the communicator, quick, quick thinking, quicksilver, amoral, darting through thoughts, never a moment without change. The barterer, businessman, peddler and djinn, happy to trade – goods, ideas, words, always interesting, interested, talking and thinking. See Mercury in the marketplace, checking out lots of little bits of information, and not attached, ever restless, moving only for a short time in any direction.  In Aries it is sharp-tongued, in Scorpio profound and hidden, in Aquarius brilliant yet unreasoned, in Capricorn ponderous and reasonable.<br /><br />Venus      <br /><br />Venus loves to love, to be loved, to seek beauty, to be seen as beautiful. She attracts and knows she is attractive. Often playful, light-hearted and even childlike, she walks with a sense of charm, even glamour, promising roses and sweet smiles to her lover. She loves women for their intuitive way of harmonising with her, laughing at each other’s girlish vanity and the silly pastel colours decorating a pretty hairstyle. She loves men because their Mars-like seriousness draws her out to be even more Venus like, and she’ll be ready to compete to see if she can make Mars laugh. With the Moon, Venus is a young mother, radiant with joy, with Mercury she is commercial and venal, using her charm to soften the price a little when buying for pleasure. Pluto accentuates her powerful erotic nature and could make for a dangerous Mata Hari or an intense and devoted irrevocable relationship. Neptune inspires her to the very heights of beauty as a spiritual principle.<br /><br />Mars<br /><br />The Mars walk is rather military in style with a strong steady rhythm in step with the group. Aspects of Mars’s energy are expressive of masculine vitality, strength of a unified purpose to achieve a team objective in obedience to a higher principle – the general of an army or the Sun in the planetary hierarchy. A weak Mars shows in depression or aggression, a well-balanced Mars in assertiveness, a highly evolved expression is devotion to God or to a task. As with an army, the purpose of this energy in an individual is to guard the boundaries. An impressive martial force will keep unwanted outside forces from crossing the frontier, thus obviating any need for aggression or submission. A devoted or assertive person is rarely invaded and knows how to maintain personal space easily. Mars has endurance, is not especially social, enjoys male company and is a little reluctant to bend its nature to accommodate more subtle energies. It enjoys Pluto, is very compatible with the Sun and willingly serves Jupiter. With Venus it is greatly softened, often into humour.<br /><br /><br />Jupiter   <br /><br />Jupiter embraces all things and all beings in its ever-expanding scope of awareness, drawn increasingly towards an integrated unity of cosmic understanding. The walk is unhurried, imperial, neither social nor antisocial, involved yet above its subjects, above its kings. He is emperor, The Lord of Majesty and Splendour, the perfecting of one’s individuality, the golden years of success, repute, nobility, dignity, the aristocracy of the soul. In Sagittarius, it’s vision is unbounded; in Cancer, the Divine Mother is accessible; in Taurus, bounteousness takes physical form in a cornucopia of abundance; in Gemini common sense is a philosophy, moral judgments are suspended.<br /><br />Saturn<br /><br />The Saturn walk is slow. It is a careful, serious walk. Each cautious step is in itself an achievement and not ever unbalanced. One is constrained to acknowledge the certainty of limitation, the imminence of death, the satisfaction in fulfilling one’s duty - not only to God, also to those for whom one is responsible. A Virgo Saturn is extremely orderly, meticulous and a list-maker; in Leo it can be magisterial, autonomously dispensing summary justice, in Pisces one’s disciplines are all too ready to soften and forgiveness is ever present; in Libra one may be skilled in the arts of diplomacy, discernment and justice. <br /><br />Uranus <br /><br />Uranus is free, inspired, spontaneous, unfettered by ideas, beliefs, morals, and ambitions. It is fast, immediate, sudden, unexpected and even shocking, bringing a touch of the wild energy, the joker, the fool, and the magician. Its walk is unformed without pattern, no rhyme nor reason – now here now there, now fast now stopped, backwards, spinning, out of the bounds, detached, always guided by the inner knowing awakened by the 3rd eye concentration. None of the other planets seem to relate particularly well to Uranus – except Mercury whose big brother it is and perhaps Neptune and Pluto as a group experience.<br /><br /><br /><br />Neptune              <br /><br />The mystery of this concentration is awakened through the visualization of a flow of sparkling light rising to the crown then falling as light over the body, the walk itself is sensitive to feelings “out of this world”. Hard reality is dissolved and a more cosmic consciousness settles upon the group. Individuality here is at a minimum of all the planets, one drifts into and out of the atmospheres, attunes to the music of the spheres, forgives, forgets, foregoes. In life Neptune is not easily assimilated into work-a-day matters and so can express in the less enlightened behaviours under influence of drugs, fantasy, alcohol, television and self-betrayal. Through meditation and surrender, the higher vibrations of Neptune lead towards the practice of fana, annihilation of ego in the spiritual sense. A most wonderful combination practice can be achieved with Pluto in an advanced group, since Neptune is not in any way threatened by the power of Pluto and simply responds to the deepest beauty found in truth.<br /><br />Pluto<br /><br />Walking to embody Pluto with consciousness is more feasible as a group attunement, using the simultaneous 3-fold focus of attention: earth, heaven and group heart-connectedness. The eyes are open and yet not outwardly directed, seeing without looking. The step is quite slow and very sure. It is the atmosphere, which is most noticeable – it is rather awesome, serious, and it could be seen as threatening or ominous. Pluto seeks truth through deep involvement, it has no sense of ethics or personal feelings, using individuals as channels in order to act out historical imperatives; such people feeling driven by a force far beyond their control or comprehension. The energy is extremely intense, unmitigated and almost always overwhelming (except to Neptune and Uranus). Pluto type people are powerful, charismatic, disinclined to obey convention, can be somewhat controlling – and are often controlled by a fascination with power. They’re seen in the inner circle making the decisions that effect lives and destinies.<br /><br />--<br />Free Questionnaires and Mini Courses are available on the <a  <br />href="http://www.7words.co.uk/life-management/virgo_soul_mates_relationships">7 Words website</a>,  <br />interactive fun with the “satisfaction index calculator” at <br /><a href="http://www.7wordsassociates.org">7 Words Associates</a><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Keywords are always a good thing when learning anything new or, in coming to understand or explain something you intuitively know. The 3rd house in Astrology has the phrase: I think - therefore I am. It's all about awareness, positive or negative thinking for this is the house of the conscious mind and you have a four minute window of opportunity (more about this concept later in another article). Planets or aspects to the 3rd bring all of the above (and more) into focus. For more details www.be-a-stargazer.com The sign on the cusp (or, more precisely the element of the sign) will give you an idea as to how think. For example a Fire sign on the cusp of the 3rd would 'think' differently than a Water sign. Also, the sign on the cusp will tell you how you 'hear' information from the world around you, from your environment.<br />	<br />This house also shows your relationship with siblings (not the actual people) but your relationship with them. Any planets here (particularly Saturn) offer information about whether brothers and sisters are close or at a distance. Short distance travel is also shown by this house (sometimes even the preference or mode of transport) for example: Fire signs prefer road travel. Earth signs prefer rail. Air signs obviously prefer (or fear) air travel and the Water signs have a preference for water journeys. Formal education (or the lack thereof) is shown here therefore questions of schooling (particularly primary) will come to the surface. Look to the sign on the cusp and any planets here to understand your early formative' years.<br /><br />How we think about ourselves and the world in which we live is constantly changing by the people we meet, the newspapers we read, the television programmes we watch (all of which is 'ruled' by the 3rd house). Keeping in mind that we are constantly creating an image of ourselves (good or bad) according to what we focus our mind upon. Even the people you meet at the bus stop can change your thinking dramatically or, when you're on a 'short trip' the stimulus from a different environment can alter your thinking as can reading a good or uplifting book (taking a short trip into your mind). Even an idea shared on a blog site such as Twitter can alter your thinking and who was it that said "change your thinking and you change your life"?<br /><br />Take a look at your own chart for even if there are no planets in the 3rd the sign on the cusp will nevertheless give you some idea as to all of the above (and more) if you look for the ruler of the cusp on your chart. For more details www.fire-itup.com Let me explain: If Virgo was the 'ruler' of your 3rd house you would look at your chart to see where Mercury (the ruler of Virgo) was placed. This will help you understand how you think, what you think about, and your relationship with the environment in which you live (remembering the mind is an 'environment').<br /><br />This is the house of the conscious mind and it is here that you look for or, examine all closely related factors in your life, look for connections. Explore your skills, your talents and your common sense (or lack thereof). The sign on the cusp or planets contained in this house will tell you how organized or disorganized you are. Or, if you take a closer look you'll discover ways (from the sign on the cusp or planets contained here) to become better organized. This is using Astrology for your empowerment for each and every new of us needs some sort of organization, structure or routine in our daily lives for remember this house rules the everyday, the local, the neighborhood, the people you meet on the street, in the shops and how you communicate with them. In talking about this keyword, how they (or how you perceive them to) communicate with you...<br /><br />When any planet transits this house and the Sun does so every year at the same time (roughly three months after your birthday) it's time to gather facts, to plan ahead and communicate your ideas to your best advantage. It's time to be flexible, to negotiate and discuss your ideas for the road ahead. The signs in order from Aries to Pisces can help you understand whether you are positive (assertive) or negative (passive) in your thinking. Aries is considered positive with Taurus negative, Gemini positive with Cancer negative and so on around the signs. This is not to say that they're positive or negative in the accepted sense but their style of thinking.<br /><br /><br /><br />--<br /><a href="http://www.art-of-astrology.com">www.art-of-astrology.com</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.be-a-stargazer.com">www.be-a-stargazer.com</a><br /><br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Has the medium for gravity been found?!  Has the origin of matter been discovered?!  In his latest book, "Alternative Constructs for the Origin and Nature of the Universe (ACONU)", Jon Aaronow makes such hopeful claims:<br /><br />"The starting point from which this book originates is the following obvious and simple statement:<br /><br />It is impossible to get "matter" from nothing.<br /><br />Everyone should be able to agree on this. Even conventional laws of Conservation of Mass and Conservation of Energy state this.  Therefore true matter cannot magically appear from the void to begin the universe.<br /><br />Yet… we cannot deny we exist or perceive ourselves to exist.  So, it logically follows that there must be a way that matter can "seem to be" without actually being there.  In other words, our matter must actually be “virtual matter” not "true matter".  True matter does not exist, cannot exist. So when we refer to matter or mass in this book, we refer to "virtual matter".   When the Big Bang theory proposes true matter miraculously exploded out from a tiny point of pre-existing energy, this is simply not possible.  <br /><br />A proposal to the solution to this paradox will be presented here, and from this proposal other hypotheses will emerge concerning the nature of the atom, electromagnetic energy, motion, time and gravity.."<br /><br />First stating the vitally important yet not-so-talked-about paradox of "getting something from nothing", Aaronow, a scientist, geographer and engineering designer, launches his book on a pithy jaunt into the heart of the atom to discover and declare something uncomfortable for most scientists.  Aaronow believes only by facing this vital question can we begin to take the right path to finally understanding gravity, the atom and the universe.<br /><br />As far as gravity, in short, Aaronow contends that it results from human perceived time trying to resolve one moment at a time from "All Time Data", each moment of a celestial body, for instance, is a "Dynamic Average Location" of all of its life locations, and that this naturally produces orbits.<br /><br />Aaronow’s secular book is not esoteric, is easy to read, and is not scientifically offensive.  Readers will enjoy and ponder the many new ideas in "ACONU" for a long time. <br /><br /><a href=http://members.cox.net/jaaronow/>http://members.cox.net/jaaronow/</a> website<br /><br />--<br /><a href=http://members.cox.net/jaaronow/>http://members.cox.net/jaaronow/</a><br />Jon Aaronow has been employed professionally in Engineering and/or Geographic roles for over 20 years.

<description><![CDATA[ The present lifestyle of the people is so hectic and full of stress due to the high rate of competition that people are always worried about their future. These worries have made them search for ways and means that will help them to know about the future on a daily basis so that they can prepare their strategies of action accordingly and gain success in life. This need of the people has increased the importance of the predictions that can be made every day which can be easily found in the newspapers and magazines.<br /><br />Most of the people nowadays rely on the daily horoscope which helps them to build up their confidence as they are aware about the things that are going to happen throughout the day. But the predictions in the daily horoscope should be taken with a pinch of salt as the predictions can help as a guide but may not match entirely with the personality of each and every person having the same zodiac sign as it is generalized. Many people know that the daily horoscope is generalized so they go through it so that they can interpret it according to their needs.<br /><br />There is a difference between the daily horoscope and the natal horoscope as the daily horoscope is totally based on the lunar cycle which does not consider the personal details of a person like the time and place of birth. The only thing that is considered in the daily horoscope is the zodiac sign which is divided according to the months in the year. So what ever predictions are made is fully dependent on the movement of the moon on that particular day for which the daily horoscope is prepared. <br /><br />So daily horoscope can be consulted by any person born under the zodiac sign which is related to the date and month of his birth irrespective of the year in which he is born. According to the astrologers the movement of the sun is more important for preparing the horoscope. But daily horoscopes are useful as knowing about the things that are going to happen throughout the day helps a person to gain control over his emotions which helps him to maintain the balance and handle the situation tactfully so that no problem develops throughout the day. <br /><br />A personalized daily horoscope can also be prepared which will be based on the personal data of a person and help the person to know about the things that are going to happen in every field of his life whether it is related to the work place or about his relations with the people who are around him at his workplace or at home. This daily horoscope is more authentic and the daily horoscope that is published in the papers or the magazines.<br /><br /><br />--<br />http://www.biotrend.us<br><br>Source: <a href="http://www.articletrader.com/">http://www.articletrader.com</a> ]]></description>

<title>Why NASA have to focus on the Moon, not Mars</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Newly, the Planetary Society called for main changes in US space exploration tactics. Distinctively, it suggested bypass the Moon in favour of Mars. The only scientists, Harrison Schmitt to have walked on the Moon resign from the society in complaint.<br /><br />This really harks back to the Planetary Society's initial stages. In its early time, the only shape of manned space discovery it favoured was a Mars expedition. All new ideas that concerned humans in space be counterproductive and adverse, to heed the Planetary Society tell it.<br /><br />This passion with Mars was a awful idea then, and it's a bad idea at present. However, a few of the reasons superior against it hit me as poor - adequately poor that they grow weaker attempts to fight for a more organized and balanced space attempt.<br /><br />An exclusive spotlight on Mars does have one object going for it. If you think that any recommencement of manned space exploration will inexorably finish the way Apollo did, with follow-on programmers cancelled and flight ready hardware consign to museums as quickly as the programmer’s first aim is met, then choosing the most attractive single destination makes intelligence.<br /><br />However . . . haven't we learn something from doing that once? To me, it makes far-off more sense to attempt to build a programmed that won't hurtle and blaze as soon as it scores its first objective. That means scientifically building capability and communications, and doing initial things first even if they are not the most thrilling parts.<br /><br />Whether going away to the Moon, in itself, builds capability that will be openly needed for Mars is more arguable, however. The two environments are too dissimilar; a lot of the hardware will have to be disparate too.<br /><br />Capabilities for in-orbit meeting of large expedition would be useful, but present US ideas for the revisit to the Moon unambiguously shun orbital assembly. The reasons for this appear to me to be feeble and wrong. Supplying coal for a Mars voyage from the lunar facade is often recommended, but it's tough to make it pay off - Moon base are costly, and buying new rockets to launch fuel as of Earth is comparatively cheap.<br /><br />Some fight that even though the hardware and communications won't transfer straight, the experience will. Perhaps, rather. But astral experience won't contract with lots of the most significant issue for a Mars expedition.<br /><br />For instance, NASA's Mission Control bureaucracy will countenance a painful society change for Mars, since Mission Control will have to turn into Mission Support. The infrastructure delays among Earth and Mars could be half an hour or else more, so the people on the earth can't partake minute by minute in Mars surface activities. The crew on the exterior will have to create their own decision and deal with their personal crisis. Even much of the apparatus monitors now done from the earth will have to be complete on Mars instead.<br /><br />Can we practice this on the Moon? Surely we could. But will we? The interactions delay for the Moon is only a few second, and so the lure for Mission Control to carry on its micro-managing ways would probably show irresistible.<br /><br />By far the significant reason to go rear to the Moon initial is just that we've barely started to explore it! The Moon may not be fairly as tempting as Mars, but it's still a composite and poorly unspoken world, with lots of questions yet not answered. The more directly we look, the more weirdness we find. (certainly, one area somewhere lunar experience may be of use later is for getting some thought of what's desired to thoroughly recognize a new world. It's probable to take additional time and effort than we now be expecting.)<br /><br />In the similar way that the Moon was the rational first step, setting up superstore there lastingly is the logical next pace. If our aim is systematic exploration as well as progress of the solar system, fairly than Cold-War-style "space spectaculars", there is no cause to put off it, and all reason to do it before venture farther a field.<br /><br />Lastly, in a similar seam, going backside to the Moon will also set up a useful pattern of patient attempt towards long-term objective. If not anything else, claim that Apollo was sufficient attention to the Moon amount to claiming that six short visits are enough to walk around a whole world - surely not the kind of instance the Mars enthusiast want to put!<br /><br />--<br />Mejo John is a Expert author for <a href="http://spacestation-shuttle.blogspot.com/2008/07/aviation-innovators-compete-for-nasa.html">International space station shuttle</a>.
