Godox provide a couple of transmitter units for the popular V850 and Witstro, allowing remote manual power control and HSS with compatible cameras, though there are number of reasons you may want to combine other radio triggers as well.
These could be to –
- Combine other non Godox V850 and Witstro flash units
- Use a TTL flash mounted on the camera hotshoe instead of a transmitter unit
- Simply make use of your existing radio trigger system.
The current transmitter units Godox provide are the FT-16 and Cells II.
FT-16 can be mounted on most camera hotshoes to fire the Godox flashes, as well as provide a simple remote manual power control.
For the remote power control the FT-16 do not need to be attached to a camera, so they can also be held in hand (a bit like a TV remote), and carried in your pocket etc.
Cells II are a separate transmitter which provide the HSS function with the Godox V850 and Witstro.
NOTE – most Canon DSLR models should now be compatible with the Cells II, though I have had a report of both the 1Ds, and 1D MKIII not firing the flash at all with the Cells II.
UPDATE – March 2015 – The Godox Cells II-N are now available for NIKON as well.
Its likely Godox will eventually combine the FT-16 and Cells II HSS into one transmitter. Though for now the Cells II must be placed directly on the camera hotshoe to allow HSS with the V850 / Witstro, and the FT-16 transmitter can then be held in hand to change power levels on the flashes.
Godox FTR-16 and FTR-16s radio receivers then clip to the side of each of the Godox Witstro and V850 flash units, receiving the fire signal from either the FT-16 or Cells II transmitter units.
And also the remote power control signal from the FT-16 transmitter unit only.
Apart from using the now available Godox Cells II-N transmitter, the simplest option otherwise to achieve HSS with Nikon Cameras is likely by using the YongNuo YN-622N. As the FT-16 transmitter can simply be stacked on top of one YN-622N mounted on the camera hotshoe, with no extra receiver units required.
The YN-622N picks up the early fire signal (required for HSS) from the camera, and passes that on to the FT-16 transmitter on top. So the FT-16 can now send the early fire signal directly to the flash units, and no other YN-622N receivers are required.
So the one YN-622N with FT-16 transmitter mounted on top, can now fire up to 16 groups of V850 or Witstro, with HSS available, and just using their existing FT-16/s clip-on receivers –
The PocketWizard Mini TT1 transmitter for Canon or Nikon can be used in the same way as the YN-622N described above, to provide the early HSS fire signal, and with no extra PocketWizard receivers required.
The TT1 even have a timing adjustment available, which should theoretically help fine tune the results with HSS.
I've had quite a number of conflicting reports though with the TT1, from great results to non at all. This could be due to user error, or not understanding the PocketWizards options. I haven't used the TT1/TT5 for a while now, so I'm not really sure at this stage why they work for some and not for others.
There are many ways to use and set up the PocketWizard ControlTL system with HSS (actually HyperSync) when using TT1 or TT5 as transmitter units on the camera, and TT5, or even manual Plus II / III / X, units attached to the flash via sync cord.
The Canon version YN-622C are not quite as simple as the Nikon version described above, as they do not provide the early fire signal through the hotshoe, only through their PC sync port.
So instead of stacking the FT-16 transmitter on top of the YN-622C, it must now be connected via a PC sync cord, with a hotshoe at the end which the FT-16 can then be mounted onto. The hotshoe cord is required, as the FT-16 does not have a PC sync port to connect to otherwise.
Again you can now fire up to 16 groups of V850 or Witstro, with HSS available, and just using their existing FT-16/s clip-on receivers –
This configuration works fine, and I find results with HSS are similar to the Cells II. The main issue is simply finding a place to mount the FT-16 and hotshoe.
You can stack them on top of the YN-622 again if the hotshoe cord has a foot underneath, or if you add a screw on type foot. This gets pretty high mounted on the camera, though it does still provide a reasonably convenient place to mount them.
The hotshoe to screwlock PC sync cords are available from FlashZebra.com.
NOTE – If using the YN-622C-TX as transmitter unit 0n the camera hotshoe instead of the regular YN-622C, connecting an FT-16 transmitter via PC sync cord as shown above will not work.
So when using the YN-622C-TX as transmitter either of the methods show below, attaching a YN-622C receiver unit to every flash, or Ft-16 transmitter attached to a YN-622C receiver, would need to be used instead.
Separate TTL receivers can be attached to all the Godox V850 and Witstro flashes if desired. The combinations above and further bellow just help to reduce the number of receivers required.
This way only the TTL transmitter is needed on the camera hotshoe. The FT-16 transmitter can be held in hand for changing power levels remotely.
YN-622C must be attached to the flash units via PC sync cord to allow HSS with the V850 / Witstro.
[ UPDATE – If using the YN-622C-TX as the transmitter mounted on the camera, then the hotshoe on YN-622C receivers will actually provide the early fire signal, and the sync cord is not required ]
To help clean up the transmitter units mounted on the camera, and reduce the receiver units needed, there is another option. Mounting the FT-16 transmitter on a second YN-622C used as a receiver.
This requires only a second YN-622C, and provides as good results in HSS, if not a little better (due to slight added delay). And still no extra YN-622C receivers are required attached to the Godox flash units.
And a second FT-16 transmitter can then be hand held to remotely change the power levels of the Godox flashes.
The transmitter and receiver set can then be mounted anywhere away from the camera if desired.
If they were located somewhere around half way between the camera and flashes you could likely even extend the range, as one set of radio triggers is relaying on to the next. Below I have mounted them next to the flash units, simply for convenience.
Note – the power level on the FT-16 transmitter does not match the flashes. This is because a second FT-16 is being used in hand to remotely control the flash power levels.
The Phottix Odin for Canon for Nikon do not have a pass through hotshoe, or PC sync port on the transmitter. So an option here (without adding an extra Odin or Strato II receiver unit to each flash) is to place the FT-16 on an Odin receiver.
Again this avoids any extra receivers needed on the Godox flashes, and the slight extra delay provides more light in the image when using HSS (as good if not better than the Cells II). A Strato II receiver can also be used instead of the Odin receiver, though I found the delay there starting to go too far and show a little shutter in the image.
You can then either carry the Odin / FT-16 around together, or mount them somewhere away from the camera, and simply use a second FT-16 transmitter in hand / pocket to change the Godox flash power levels.
The Pixel King Pro for Canon and Nikon should provide the early sync signal required for HSS, and from previous testing the timing (or delay) is similar to the YN-622C.
NOTE – For Canon at least, to receive the early pre-sync signal at the King Pro (or King X) receiver, the King Pro transmitter must be set to ETTL mode for the group being used for HSS. A manual flash can still be used, but the transmitter must be set to ETTL
I have not been able to have the FT-16 work with HSS just mounted straight on top of the King Pro Transmitter, mounted on the camera. A couple of people have said this works with the Nikon version, but those few reports may not be enough to rely on at this stage.
Provided the early sync signal is working though, I would expect you can mount the FT-16 directly on top of a King Pro / X receiver hotshoe, as with the Odin above. And timing should be similar to the YN-622C, which is generally quite good with the slight added delay of the second set of radio triggers.
If you would like to fire and control your other Canon and Nikon etc TTL flashes off camera, in combination with the Godox V850 and Witstro, most of the above TTL radio trigger options should allow for that. You would simply need the respective TTL receiver units attached to each TTL flash.
The TTL flashes are remote controlled through their respective TTL transmitter (Odin, YN-622C etc), and the Godox flashes are controlled through the FT-16 transmitter.
And HSS should be available to all of the Godox V850 / Witstro and HSS enabled TTL flashes.
To combine other manual flashes (or even TTL flashes being used as simple manual flashes) the Cells II can also be used as separate receiver units to the FT-16 as transmitter.
Using some of the radio trigger combinations described above a TTL flash can also be mounted on the camera, while the Godox V850 / Witstro are fired off camera with HSS enabled.
YongNuo – YN622C and YN622N – TTL Flash mounted directly on the transmitter pass through hotshoe. FT-16 mounted on a YN622C/N receiver, or YN-622c/N receivers attached to all the Godox flashes as well.
YongNuo – YNE3-RX receiver – Canon 600EX-RT or YongNuo YN600EX-RT flash mounted on the camera hotshoe, and YNEX-RX receiver attached to each flash via PC sync cord. Or attach an FT-16 transmitter to a YNE3-RX receiver via PC sync cord.
Phottix – The Mitros+ flash with Odin transmitter would be mounted on the camera hotshoe. FT-16 mounted on a Odin receiver, or Odin/Strato II receivers attached to all the Godox flashes as well.
PocketWizard – TT1 or TT5 – TTL Flash mounted directly on the transmitter pass through hotshoe. TT5 / Plus III / X receivers attached to all the Godox flashes. (FT-16 mounted on a PocketWizard receiver may also work).
If HSS is not required off camera, that opens more options to simply fire the Godox V850 / Witstro lights.
Using a hotshoe to PC sync cord, the FT-16 transmitter can be connected directly to the cameras PC sync port (provided it has one).
Another option is to use manual triggers like the Phottix Strato II which have a fairly solid TTL Pass Through Hotshoe. Allowing a TTL flash to be mounted on the camera while manual receivers are attached to and fire the Godox flashes. The FT-16 is then used to control the remote manual power levels of the Godox flashes.

EVERYONE LOVES SMARTPHONES, but I've been too stingy to pass them out as Christmas gifts.
The latest high-quality, low-cost phones are beginning to change my mind.
Most of us buy smartphones on a contract plan -- about $200 upfront, followed by monthly payments for two years. Perhaps that's OK when buying for someone in the immediate family, but who wants to go through all that for an aunt or uncle?
Nearly all of the best smartphones are available without a contract, but you'll have to pay full price for the device. That's about $750 for Apple Inc.'s iPhone 5s or $550 for Samsung Corp.'s Galaxy S4, not counting the cost of phone service.
A merry Christmas indeed, until the credit card statement arrives.
For gift giving, your best bet is to buy a moderately priced no-contract phone and let the recipient hook it up to a cell service.
You can find used and refurbished phones that have been "unlocked." That means they can be used with a different phone carrier than the one that sold them. A refurbished iPhone might have begun life on the AT&T network, but by unlocking it you can use it with another carrier.
Phone unlocking kicked off a sizable controversy this year, after the US government declared it was illegal for consumers to unlock their phones.
But under a deal worked out with the Federal Communications Commission, phone carriers have agreed to make unlocking easier.
Still, you can't hook an unlocked phone to any old carrier.
Most of the world uses phone technology called GSM; so do AT&T and T-Mobile US.
But two of America's biggest cell companies, Verizon Wireless and Sprint, use an alternative system called CDMA.
An unlocked Verizon phone may work on Sprint, but you can't use it on AT&T. An unlocked T-Mobile phone could let you switch to AT&T, but not to Verizon.
Phone unlocking matters in many countries, where there are often four or more compatible GSM carriers. In the United States, it's not such a big deal.
You'd probably rather buy a new phone anyway, but most no-contract smartphones are pretty mediocre. Often, they run an obsolete version of Google Inc.'s Android software and feature low-powered processors with sluggish performance.
But lately we're coming across relatively cheap models that can hold their own against more expensive rivals.
One of my favorites, Nokia's Lumia 520/521, runs Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Phone 8 software. It's available only for GSM phone networks; AT&T Inc. sells the 520 model, while T-Mobile offers the virtually identical 521. Earlier this year, these phones were selling for $130. Now you can get them on Amazon.com at $80 for the T-Mobile version or $60 for the AT&T edition.
Either way, you get a surprisingly good phone. Despite its failure to catch on with U.S. consumers, Windows Phone 8 is first-class software. You can get about 200,000 apps for it, including big-name apps, like Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, Instagram, and Angry Birds.
And even though the Lumia features a relatively low-powered dual-core processor, it runs everything with brisk efficiency. The chief drawbacks are its small, relatively low-resolution screen and the lack of 4G LTE wireless networking. But the Nokia Lumia 520 is one of the best values on the market.
If you're looking for something a little better, Google has come through with a low-priced smartphone that deserves to be a hit. Remember that Google owns Motorola, the company that invented the cellphone. I wasn't impressed by its recent high-end offering, the Moto X. But the new Moto G, a GSM-compatible Android phone priced at $179, and compatible with the AT&T and T-Mobile networks, is the most sophisticated low-cost phone I've seen.
There are no technical breakthroughs in the Moto G, just solid, competent design.
It features a quad-core processor, a brilliant 4.5-inch touchscreen that's larger than that of an iPhone 5S but with comparable resolution, and a decent 5-megapixel camera.
It runs the latest version of Android software and can be upgraded to the next version, code-named KitKat and due to be released next year.
The Moto G has one major weakness: Like the Lumia 520, it doesn't support 4G LTE networking. Too bad, because in all other respects, this phone is just about as good as devices costing hundreds of dollars more.
Even so, thanks to lower prices, higher quality, and freedom from long-term contracts, slipping a smartphone under the tree is starting to make sense.
Cheaper smartphones good for gifts
EVERYONE LOVES SMARTPHONES, but I've been too stingy to pass them out as Christmas gifts.

Villanova beats Purdue in OT in 2K Sports Classic
Boilermakers blew late 6-point lead
NEW YORK — James Bell hit two 3-pointers in overtime after going 1 for 8 from beyond the arc in regulation, and Villanova beat Purdue 89-81 on Thursday night in the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project.
Villanova scored the last six points of regulation — all on free throws — to tie the game at 75.
The Wildcats (3-0) will face Alabama in Friday night's championship game. The Crimson Tide beat Oregon State 65-62.
Darrun Hilliard set his career high for the second straight game, finishing with 22 points for Villanova. Freshman Ryan Arcidiacono had 18 points for the Wildcats and Bell added 16.
Bell hit his first 3 to break the 75-all tie and his second made it 83-79 with 2 minutes left. That started a 9-0 run that gave the Wildcats the win in Madison Square Garden.

i have a sharepoint server, when it comes to configuring the farm, sharepoint does not accept my account for the Database Access Account, i get "The username is invalid. The account must be a valid domain account." The problem is that the account is valid. I tried
- Made sure that the account is valid by adding it and accessing the server in remote using the account.
- Made sure the account is not over 15 characters with the domain name.
- Installing sharepoint, removing and adding back the computer before the farm configuration process.
I tried to add the account to SQL but without success, is it why this isnt working ?
Thanks alot :)

Her name means: "Worthy" or "Venerable"
Her character: One of the first missionaries and a leader of the early church, along with her husband, Aquila, she risked her life for the apostle Paul. Priscilla was a woman whose spiritual maturity and understanding of the faith helped build up the early church.
Her sorrow: To experience opposition to the gospel from both Jews and Gentiles.
Her joy: To spread the gospel and nurture the church.
Key Scriptures: Acts 18-19; Romans 16:3-4; 1 Corinthians 16:19; 2 Timothy 4:19
Her Story
How good it is to have Paul back again, she thought. Ephesus was on fire with the gospel, their young church growing stronger each day. Paul's preaching and miracles had brought many to faith. Even the touch of his handkerchief had healed illnesses and delivered people from evil spirits.
Priscilla couldn't help laughing when she heard the story of Sceva's seven sons, Jewish exorcists who had tried to duplicate such wonders by driving out an evil spirit with a magic invocation: "In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out."
But the spirit had merely mocked them, saying: "Jesus I know and I know about Paul, but who are you?" Then the man they were trying to deliver beat them so soundly they ran bleeding and naked from the house.
The Ephesians were so impressed by what had happened that a number of sorcerers held a public bonfire to destroy their scrolls. Their magical formulations and incantations seemed like useless trinkets in light of the greater power of Jesus.
But despite the progress of the gospel, Priscilla was aware of growing opposition. One day, she heard the sounds of a crowd forming in the streets. A silversmith was shouting to other craftsmen, all of whom made their living selling miniature images of the many-breasted goddess Artemis: "Men, you know we receive a good income from this business. And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all. There is danger not only that our trade will lose its good name, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and the goddess herself, who is worshiped throughout the province of Asia and the world, will be robbed of her divine majesty."
The crowd erupted into a riot, seizing two of Paul's companions. Priscilla was distressed when Paul insisted on addressing the mob. She was certain such boldness could only end in worse violence. With her husband's help, she was able to restrain Paul until a city official calmed the crowd and it dispersed. Soon after, Paul set out to spread the gospel in Macedonia.
Though the book of Acts describes the riot in Ephesus, it does not tell us that either Priscilla or Aquila were actually present, only that some disciples prevented Paul from entering the fray, possibly saving his life in the process. Since Priscilla and her husband were leaders of the church in Ephesus, it is quite possible they were among those who intervened on Paul's behalf.
Priscilla's faith had been planted years earlier in an atmosphere of strife and controversy, first in Rome and later in Corinth. The latter was a commercial center famous for its appetite for vice, hardly a place to nurture the faith of a new believer. Yet that was where God transplanted her, along with her husband, Aquila, after Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome in ad 49, tired of their constant fighting about Chrestus (a probable reference to Christ).
Though various gods were worshiped in Corinth, none was more popular than Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, whose temple at one time boasted more than a thousand sacred prostitutes. Throughout the empire, the phrase "Corinthian girl" was just another name for "prostitute."
After the couple had been in Corinth for about a year, they met up with a man who would involve them in yet more controversy. Paul of Tarsus was a Jew who had ruthlessly persecuted Jesus' followers until his own dramatic conversion. Lately, he had been traveling in Asia Minor and Macedonia, preaching the gospel wherever he went. When he arrived in Corinth, he probably met the couple through their common trade as tentmakers. Priscilla and Aquila invited Paul to stay in their home and work with them.
As always, Paul preached the gospel first in the local synagogue and then to the Gentiles. And, as always, his preaching generated both faith and opposition. After eighteen months, leading Jews of Corinth hauled him before the proconsul to accuse him of spreading an illicit religion. After the charge was dismissed, Paul set sail for Ephesus, taking Priscilla and Aquila with him.
The three missionaries must have been eager to see a city that ranked in importance with Rome, Corinth, Antioch, and Alexandria. The capital of provincial Asia, Ephesus boasted a temple to Artemis (also known as Diana) so enormous that it was considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. After only a short while, Paul left for other ports, leaving the couple behind to lead the church that met in their home.
Before long another Jew arrived, preaching eloquently about Jesus to the Jews at Ephesus. But Apollos, a native of Alexandria, had grasped only a shadow of the gospel, one more in keeping with the message of John the Baptist than of Jesus. Rather than denouncing him for his inadequate presentation, Priscilla and Aquila merely took him aside and instructed him in the faith. They did their job so well, in fact, that believers in Ephesus eventually sent the gifted preacher to Corinth, where he advanced the work Paul had begun.
Priscilla must have been a spiritually mature woman, whose gifts equipped her for leadership. Her name actually precedes Aquila's four out of the six times they are mentioned in the New Testament, probably signifying her greater abilities as a leader or the fact that her family may have hailed from a higher social strata than his. Whatever the case, Priscilla's role in instructing Apollos and leading the early church is remarkable.
Along with Aquila, she was the best friend Paul could have had, helping him establish the church and risking her life for his sake. Paul mentions the couple's courage in one of his letters but doesn't elaborate on the circumstances.
Rather than withering in the soil of controversy, Priscilla's faith seemed to flourish. She helped establish the early church in an atmosphere of great hostility, risking her own life for the sake of the gospel she loved.
Her Promise
Scripture doesn't tell us exactly what role Priscilla played in the circumstances described in the New Testament. Was she active as a teacher? Or did she work in the background? But the very fact that her name appears along with her husband's every time does tell us something: She was a valued disciple, one who made a difference in Paul's life and in her world.
Whatever your role as a woman in your church, whether in the background or in a leadership position, you can be sure that what you are doing matters. Each task—no matter how small or large—is important to the spread of the gospel. You are an integral part of your church community, and God promises to use you.

Mariah Carey + Nick Cannon Working on Animated Project
It's no secret that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, mother and father to Dem Babies, are really just kids at heart. Both of the entertainers cherish one another's playful attitudes (did you see their Halloween costumes last year?!), so it's really no surprise that Carey and Cannon have teamed up for a family-friendly project that both parents and kids can enjoy.
Cannon recently spoke to MTV News about a super-secret animated project that him and Carey are joining forces on. The 'America's Got Talent' host is keeping most of the details under wraps for now, but apparently the creative cartoon collabo will pay tribute to Carey and Cannon's twins, Moroccan (aka Roc) and Monroe (aka Roe).
"Yeah we actually got some stuff in development that we're working on, some animated stuff that her and I are putting together," Cannon said. "So you'll definitely see her in that space too. Oh yeah, it's just something that we both enjoy, and even more so than that, we're both kids at heart. So we love those types of stories and fantasy/fairytale type of stuff."
We'll just have to wait and see what kind of crazy family fun Carey and Cannon have cooking.
In other news, it's been a whirlwind of a year for Carey and Cannon so far. The couple have been celebrating their happy and healthy babies and recently renewed their wedding vows — but this happiness also comes with some sadness, as Carey's sister was also diagnosed with cancer.

Laura Brothers, come and be real for us (Dec 25, 2007). Detail area of 803 x 840 digital image.
Artist Laura Brothers, whose work was included in the online exhibition "Brushes" (co-presented by Rhizome and the New Museum as part of First Look), is featured on the newest installment of Gene McHugh's podcast, Net Art Hell.
Brothers has been posting her images to a LiveJournal blog under the moniker out_4_pizza since 2007; in his podcast, McHugh tracks the visual progression of the images through the evolution of Brothers' style and content. He points to the use of cut-and-paste image appropriation in the earlier work: imagery drawn from 1980s television, imagery from the past 40 years of rock music album cover culture, and other imagery that Brothers refers to as "timestamped." Building on this exploration of temporality, McHugh adds that the LiveJournal platform is itself dated, which emphasizes the datedness of the image content. In addition, the chronological structure of the LiveJournal feed allows the viewer to understand how Brothers' practice unfolds over time. As artist Giovanna Olmos noted in the Brushes panel at the New Museum, scrolling is a new narrative form.
Brothers' newer work is still inspired by timestamped cultural imagery, but unlike the earlier clearly appropriated collages, it alludes to its sources in loose, gestural abstractions. This style can be seen in the recent posts Cake Walk Howl (posted, according to LiveJournal, at 24 September 2015 @ 03:42 pm) and Alfredo Frenzy (posted 10 September 2015 @ 04:40 pm), which have Brothers' signature pixelated texture, but refer more to expressive sketches and figure drawing than to specific timestamped cultural images.

This was one of my favorite stir fry recipes on this site. It tasted just like the pepper steak at my favorite Chinese restaurant. I made a couple of changes: I added two large white onions to the mix and substituted the cornstarch for 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of flour.
Nov 6, 2013
I substituted 2 onions for the tomatoes. Tasty.
Dec 26, 2012
I made half the recipe, so 1/8 cup of soy sauce was not as flavorful as the full amount. I omitted the sugar as that would make the sauce stick to the pan. My son hates tomatoes so they didn't appear in the finished dish.

I marinated the strips of steak in the first 5 ingredients except I used low salt soy sauce. I quartered the tomatoes since a family member didn't like tomatoes & this may it easy for her to omit the tomatoes but still received the benefits of their flavor. When I make it again, I will add quartered onions to give it an enhanced flavor.

News From Saturn
Breath-taking views of Saturn's rings, and scenes from the moon Tethys, which has a system of canyons four times as long as Earth's Grand Canyon.
Transcript:Hello and welcome to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. I'm Todd Barber, lead propulsion engineer on the Cassini mission to Saturn, with your latest news from the ringed planet.
On June 27th, 2007, the Cassini spacecraft made its second of two close flybys of Saturn's icy moon Tethys (teethys) . Tethys is coated with particles from Saturn's E-ring that may contribute to its brightness. This flyby focused on Ithaca Chasma, a system of canyons that is four times as long as Earth's Grand Canyon. Scientists want to know how these canyons formed--was Tethys active in the past? Or did the canyons form due to large impact events like the one that produced the large crater Odysseus?
Cassini flew by Titan on June 29, 2007 and completed a portion of the tour we call the pi-transfer. We used low-altitude flybys of Titan, and Titan's gravity, to sling-shot the spacecraft into higher inclination orbits around Saturn. This enabled us to get these never-before-seen views of the rings, including this breathtaking image from high above the ringed planet's cloudtops.
Our next Titan encounter will take place on July 19, 2007. This flyby will feature bistatic scattering observations just to the west of the Huygens landing site. Bistatic scattering is a type of radio science observation used to determine the nature and composition of the surface and it will provide important context information for the successful Huygens mission.
That's the latest news from the ringed planet. This is Todd Barber at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

The Galapagos Islands and the Darwin connection loom large in our modern intellectual consciousness. They also loom large in many people's travel dreams.
In September, 2007 my wife, Kathy, and I chased those dreams and did a boat tour of the Galapagos Islands. Here's what we learned.
1. Surprise! We weren't the only person to think of this. Our boat was normally in a convoy of several and at any given time there were at least three to four other tour groups on the island trails with us. The sight of 15 tourists and their cameras surrounding one frazzled sea lion is the classic Galapagos absurdity.
2. It's expensive. Typical tours are on 16 to 20 passenger boats for at least several days. We went with G.A.P. adventures. Their brochure price, per person was $1,390, plus taxes, not including the $300 US cash payment to the guide, the $100 US park fee, the cost of flights to Ecuador, and the two nights' hotel in Quito, Ecuador coming and going from the Galapagos. And the "seven" day tour advertised in the brochure? Subtract three days for travel and overnights in Quito and you're left with three nights and four days at sea. In fairness to G.A.P., this math is standard industry practice. We chose to pay for quality.
3. It's a very structured activity. Independent travellers that we are, this was a switch. To protect the environment, you must stick with your guide. Don't touch the animals. No garbage on the islands. No smoking on the islands. Your whole day is scheduled from sunrise to sunset. Our boat crew and guide were great. But they're in charge, so --
4. S--t happens. Itinerary changes happened. A burst pipe on board meant we had to rush through our last scheduled tour day and to our final stop for repairs, which is a reminder that ...
5. We're on a boat. A confined space. In the ocean. For four days. The seas were "choppy." Amen, Gravol, which made us sleepy, but helped with nighttime engine noise. Boats are damp environments and nothing ever dried. Our cabin was below deck and had a bathroom. We showered during off-peak hours because hot water ran out (until the pipes burst, which meant no showers).
6. We're on a boat, Part 2. Same confined space. With 16 other passengers and crew. Luckily, we had a great bunch of friendly, laid-back people. However, I have heard some bad stories about discourteous, rude and selfish behaviour on other tours. Are you high maintenance, or set in your ways? STAY HOME. Or suck it up, princess.
7. Failures to communicate. Some of the information we read and were told about in Canada prior to our departure proved inaccurate once on tour. Certain things we were told were required weren't required. Both in Canada and in Ecuador, information about itinerary and schedule changes weren't communicated until the last minute, if at all. Perhaps this was due to language barriers or cultural differences in handling details or evading conflict. We remained assertive in getting answers.
8. Don't forget Ecuador. We had several days to explore mainland Ecuador at either end of our Galapagos tour. We wish we had more. Ecuador is friendly, beautiful, diverse and reasonably priced .
9. Background reading helps. It helped us to appreciate what we saw. "Darwin's finches" are just little birds to some, but the various species are symbols of the incredible diversity on these islands.
10. Never mind the B.S. The Galapagos are still amazing. The animals have no predators and are fearless. Interacting with them is truly moving. We'd see hundreds of iguanas lying on top of each other as they sunbathed on the rocks. We'll never forget sharing a beach with thousands of sea lions and stepping over them as we walked the paths. We swam with sea turtles and waded in the shoreline surf with hundreds of rays swimming around us. We didn't sweat the details and just marvelled at the beauty.

Once Upon A Time has finally found its sweet spot, yanking on the easy-to-reach heart stings of America. And not a moment too soon — we were one more CG cricket away from walking away from this series forever. But now it's back, and doling out the schmaltz with horrifying wooden boys and fairies in giant stripper heels. We missed you Once!
Spoilers ahead...
So why was this episode better than other recent outings? Because even though it was flapping about like a bald eagle drowning in a vat of Velveeta, at least it wasn't boring. There were two big reveals! First, we found out who August really was, and why he's such an eternally dirty vagabond. And second, we found out what happened to Emma (kind of) as a wee babe. Well, we kind of already knew what happened to Emma, but in this episode baby August does that thing where he kisses his hand and rubs it on baby Emma's head, DAAW!
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. First, August. Turns out he's Pinocchio! Or a hideous wood monster — we can't be too sure. After this clip of Pinocchio appeared, we threw a blanket over the TV and pulled all of our hair out. Sweet baby Jesus, that is one horrifying creation. Just look.
But soon the terrible, terrible wooden boy creature is gone, so we can focus on his relationship with Geppetto. You see, Geppetto is more than just sad old clockmaker who wants a little boy of his very own. He is also the smartest person in all of fairyland. How he isn't King, we'll never understand. But as far as smarts in fairyland go, it's neck-and-neck between Rumpelstiltskin and Geppetto. The blue fairy commissions Geppetto to make a magical wardrobe in which Emma can escape the horrible Evil Queen's curse — BUT WAIT. Geppetto strikes up a deal. No magical wardrobe for Snow White and her baby, unless the blue fairy agrees to let his son cross over, so he doesn't turn back into wood, because he's Pinocchio. (This is a real thing that we all watched together, as adults). Since only two people can pass through the wardrobe because FUCK YOU THESE ARE THE MAGIC RULES. The fairy agrees and Pinocchio crosses over, but only after promising that he'll take care of Emma. Can you guess what happens next? He doesn't take care of Emma.
I remember sometime earlier when a friend of mine went on a rant about Once Upon a Time was really anti-foster care, and I kind of made the "wah, you're ruining my buzz" look. I was wrong. I'm sorry. This show has a giant freaking axe to grind with the foster care system. That, or it's just that lazy. And that would have to be pathologically lazy, people. So instead, I'm going to assume that Once really wants to rip the magical baby blanket back on the creeps in godawful Maine, who run children's services.
Which brings us up to the present. August, the adult Pinocchio, gets disturbed from his sex parties all over the globe, when Emma decides to stay in Storybrooke. Let's pause to think about the adult August — if a child was raised in suede clothes and tiny hats with a best friend that's a talking grasshopper, I do kind of think they would have turned out to look like August Wilson Booth (they would also think August Wilson Booth is a good name for a totally normal, non-fairy tale person). Now he has to make Emma believe in the fairytale world or he will turn into wood (because he was a bad boy). Which means August and Emma take a surprise trip to where they were wardrobed into the real world, and then scream at each when Emma not surprisingly calls August a crazy person. Oh, and she can't see his wooden leg, because of magical denial, right? Honestly, this whole scene was kind of lost on us. When the big final battle is really just two people being yelling, "Why not?" "Because!" "Well I don't want to!" because one of them is afraid of responsibility and the other is a half wooden man who probably smells like sweet sweet tobacco, dirt, coyote fur and a dash of patchouli, you're not getting much in the form of big character reveals.
But it is what it is, and Eion Bailey (August) is a good actor, so it's fun watching him shift his wooden leg around on screen and hang out with his unknowing father, being all adorable. We can't really fault Emma for not wanting to save the fairytale world, because she hasn't really been presented with anything substancial to convince her — so yeah, this is the first time she's being responsible. As opposed to all the times when she's taking a day off from being the law and kidnapping her own son. That said, the actual problems Emma is struggling with, we're not really connecting to on a personal level. It sounds like she's just saying "No," and "Why me." It was very reminiscent of the whole Last Scion scene in Dogma (only not as emotionally shattering, but that's not saying it can't be in the future!)
So that's where it ends — with Emma wanting to run away from this crazy town and her unwanted savior responsibilities. If we could get halfway to understanding her issues, and why she has them, then maybe we could sympathize with her a little bit more. Perhaps it's time to see Emma as a 12-year-old in the evil foster care system or whatever.
Thankfully there was lots of other crazy cheese to marinate in this week. Like the whole Queen seduction technique — because nothing is more of a turn-on then finding an unconscious and dying man on the side of the road! Hypothermia makes us all horny. What, haven't you seen The Saint! Sigh, oh this show. Glad it's back on track.

Brad Brigati and his business partner Gene Vilgrey were interested in leaving the business world and buying a restaurant or bar. As put by Brigati, who worked in real estate until recently, they were looking for something a little bit more comfortable.
"Running La Cue is a lot more fun than real estate," he said. "It's a big change."
The two owners, both Queens natives, just bought the bar two weeks ago, but they already have big plans for the pool hall and restaurant.
"This place already has a nice, working-class crowd, but when we talk to our customers, we hear them say that they want a place that skews a little older," he said.
Of course, Bragati won't be catering to the silver-haired hustlers fresh from the senior center, though he certainly wouldn't mind.
"I understand that a lot of kids come hang out here, and that's great, but we want this to be a place where 23 year olds can come to mingle with other 23 year olds," he explained
In Brigati's eyes, the first step to reaching out to a slightly older crowd is to remove the half-dozen arcade games that line the front of the establishment and replace them with a lounge area full of comfy chairs and dim lighting.
Other changes the new owners have made include expanding the hot food menu, instituting drink specials, bringing in tables for the popular college sport "beer pong," and of course, lowering prices.
"Everything is 25 percent less expensive than it used to be," said Brigati.
The new owners also hope to reestablish La Cue as a venue for music, be it for DJ's or live bands. The space came equipped with a DJ booth, and they hope to make a space for local bands to play a few tunes as well. In fact, once the lounge area is built, they will be holding two grand opening nights the week after Labor Day.
But above all, Brigati and Vilgrey want to be good neighbors.
"We want to make it a nice neighborhood place," said Brigati. "We're Queens people and we want to be good for the community."

Hi Rad,
YES!! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and wisdom—this information is invaluable.
I've been looking at some recent developments with regard to my own health... which prompts these questions related to the senses and, to pain…
I think I understand the symbolism in the Mercury/ Uranus dichotomy, in terms of anatomy and physiology. Can you speak more about the nature of pain? To Venus and Neptune and how (why) they relate to sensing?
Is there any further breakdown or (co)rulership within the Sensory Receptors?

What would be some factors for determining the root of an ailment in situations where there are issues on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels? (e.g. Depression tends to be comorbid with chronic pain.) Being able to see in a chart whether a physical symptom (headache, nausea) is a product of psychogenic pain vs. nutritional imbalance, etc.
Did Wolf speak of suffering?
God Bless,
P.S. Here is a condensed list of the material covered, for those just jumping in or needing a refresher...
Nervous System Tissue
The nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). Comprised of neural and nervous tissue, the CNS and PNS transmit signals from the brain to the body parts (muscles, glands, sense organs) to activate a response, which correlates with Uranus, Mercury, and Pluto
The neurotransmitters with Mercury and Neptune in general
The synapses
The neurons
The axons
The sacs
The receptors with Venus and Neptune
The entire central Nervous system with co-ruler Mercury
The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems with co-rulers the Moon and Mercury
The receptors in the brain with Uranus and Neptune
Receptor cells throughout the body
The entire central Nervous system with co-ruler Uranus
The motor nerves
The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems with co-rulers the Moon and Uranus
With the co-ruler Uranus it correlates with the very nature of thought: thinking. As a result it correlates with the 'messaging' taking place within the entire physical body that is ultimately traceable to the various areas within the brain itself.

Comprised of neural and nervous tissue, the CNS and PNS transmit signals from the brain to the body parts (muscles, glands, sense organs) to activate a response, which correlates with co-rulers Uranus and Pluto
Mercury with Uranus correlates to all the transmissions within the body that all involve the body communicating with itself. Additionally, this correlates with all the external transmissions that come into the body the impacts on how the body reacts to those transmissions. In combination these then correlate to how the body, and the Soul within it, transmits or communicates itself to others specifically, and the overall environment generally.

Hi Katherine,

Hi Rad,
YES!! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and wisdom—this information is invaluable.
I've been looking at some recent developments with regard to my own health... which prompts these questions related to the senses and, to pain…
I think I understand the symbolism in the Mercury/ Uranus dichotomy, in terms of anatomy and physiology. Can you speak more about the nature of pain?
The nature of pain is to inform the brain to take action relative to what the specific type of pain is in order to take necessary remedial action before a cataclysmic situation is reached.
To Venus and Neptune and how (why) they relate to sensing?
These planets, the signs the rule, and the houses they correlate too sensing as a general physiological and anatomical response to the inner and outer environments that provide essential information to the brain. Why ? Because astrology is a natural science which means a science of correlation and observation versus theory or hypothesis. Thus, through direct observation and correlations over a great length of time of the human being these correlations to these planets, etc, have been observed.
Is there any further breakdown or (co)rulership within the Sensory Receptors?
Here are the further correlations you have asked about:
Chemoreceptors: Pluto, Venus, Uranus
Thermoreceptors: Venus, Uranus, Sun
Photoreceptors: Venus , Moon, Neptune: higher octave of Venus
Nociceptors : Venus and Pluto
Mechanreceptors: Venus
o Merkel's disks: Venus and Mercury/Uranus
o Pacinian Corpuscles Venus and Pluto
o Messiners Coruscles: Venus and Saturn
o Ruffini's End Organs: Venus and Uranus
o Hair Follicle Receptors: Venus and Pluto
o Proprioceptors: Venus and Jupiter
"What would be some factors for determining the root of an ailment in situations where there are issues on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels?

EA is able to determine the 'why' of just about anything. Thus, specific symptoms all have their own causes. EA is able to determine, in almost all cases, the cause of anything. Each case, Soul, is unique. This is why it is essential to have a firm grasp and understanding of the core principles, methodology, of EA so that the why or cause of whatever condition can be understood. So to understand the root of any ailment it is essential to understand EA itself. This very thread on medical astrology will hopefully help all of us towards this end.
Did Wolf speak of suffering?
Yes, of course, but always in the context of 'why' any given Soul has created the conditions for it's life so that all Souls can take responsibility for that which, in fact, they have created for themselves. Understanding the causes, the why's of anything, equals self knowledge. When this is then known to a Soul it is then up to them to do what is necessary to make the changes that can lead them in new evolutionary directions that can hopefully eliminate the conditions that have created whatever types of pain they have.
Of course many Souls have created conditions in which the pain they have, the nature of it, can not be alleviated at all and/or can only be modified to some extent. The reasons for this, the why, is unique to each Soul. EA can help uncover whatever those unique reasons are for any given Soul.

Hi Ari, Gonzalo, Skywalker, Linda, Upasika, Kristin, Katherine, Cat, and Sunyata....
Ok, we will now begin our second stage of our medical thread. And we will start very, very simply and progressively build upon this simple beginning to understand in a more holistic way the medical signatures in any given chart.
At first we must realize that all the various astrological symbols, i.e. Mars, Cancer, the 4th House etc, correlate to all the various anatomical, physiological, and chakra system that we have now learned that symbolize the
for medical issues in each of the archetypes. In other words, when we analyze any given symbol, from a medical point of view, the potential exists to have medical issues in those symbols versus some absolute manifestation of a medical issue in those symbols.
So as we develop this next step we will use that perspective of potential versus an absolutist one. We will also learn, along the way, that given the potential in any given astrological symbol how transits and progressions can correlate to the manifestation of that potential at those times. Of course we will also try to understand the inherent genetics, Pluto, Scorpio, and the 8th House, of any given symbol in such a way as to consider how any given Soul can literally be born with medical issues.
So as we now develop this next step in our medical thread we will start very simply as in considering the medical potential of two planets. From there we will take those same two planets and connect to signs, and then, from there to houses. As we progress further on we will then begin to add other planets to in a building block approach to our medical understanding that will lead to looking at an entire birth chart.
So as we begin examining two planets at first it will simply be a matter of each of referring to the anatomical, physiological, and chakra system correlations of those two planets. This will then comprise what you send in to me in this thread.
We should also understand that the nature of aspects between planets correlate to the relative probability of having medical issues connected to those planets. In other words, two planets in opposition versus those same two planets in a trine will correlate to an increased probability of having medical issues between those two planets. The aspects also correlate to the potential degree of how severe any given medical issue is between two planets. Again, a trine between two planets not only has a decreased probability of medical issues but also, if they did manifest, a less sever manifestation of them versus those two planets being in an opposition for example.
So to begin very simply let us consider the potential medical issues of a Mars in opposition to Uranus in a male body. When all of you have submitted your analysis to me, and all questions asked and answered that may be asked of me, we will then move on to other examples.
If you have any questions please ask them of me now.
God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad, all,
I'm guessing that this would be a volatile signature (I visualized a strap fight. A strap fight involves two people who are bound together by a length of rope, chain, or a belt. Forced engagement -with zero chance of escape- is the objective. Forced opposition—a dynamic stasis) with both Uranus and Mars relating to Yang and Pranic energies engaged through a cardinal association.
Both symbols, archetypically, have a stressful/ caustic nature, manifesting the instincts for separation and freedom in different ways. Visually, I think it's an interesting tension with Uranus correlating to Kundalini/ root chakra energy concurrently with trauma, disassociation, and vacating. Mars registers to the navel/ solar plexus chakra, conversely, linking to violence, sex, and procreation. (I visualized a lemniscate)
Air*Uranus (fire*opposition) Fire*Mars as experienced by the human body, to me, would indicate the long-term situation of nervous system burnout via exhaustion. (Flame continuously stoked) Stress moves in a perpetual feedback loop affecting all levels experienced i.e. physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually? Chronic stress flattens into fatigue, which can lead to frustration, and then anger. This lack of perspective tends to project upon others creating defensiveness and hyper-vigilance, possibly attracting antagonistic, hostile, or violent situations. Further, REM sleep is disturbed, compounding all experiences.
Constant, unrelenting stress… could indicate Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. (I think of PTSD as event/ environmentally oriented—it has a definite beginning. So to me this would come through following a traumatic event in the present life (via transit/ progression) or, if from events in a previous life (indicated by the position of Pluto/ S. Node) I think it is certainly a possibility but, looking at the difference, I am favoring CFS because of the broad scope and that the etiology (origin/ causation) is unclear. ('When no etiology can be ascertained, the disorder is said to be idiopathic' i.e. 'arising spontaneously or from an obscure or unknown cause') Also, PTSD tends to be a catchall for stress disorders that have manifested into human behavior. Similar to how fibromyalgia is diagnosed in cases where symptoms don't paint a clear picture or the causes are unclear.
Potential for other bursting-Uranus, fast, intense, and painful-Mars/Pluto cataclysmic experiences such as aneurism, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, etc. (From recent experiences… I think these events are born not from a simple birth signature, but a perfect storm of natal, transit, progression and also environmental context/ lifestyle owing much to level of consciousness, self-awareness, and self-care) Another possibility, looking at the anatomical and physiological attributes of each, could create the event of a stroke. Caused by ischemia- leaning toward Uranus Caused by hemorrhage- leaning toward Mars. (I've just seen epilepsy in a natal chart as a Uranus-Mars crescent square and, a seizure by way of a Mars transit: opposing natal Mars, squaring natal Uranus—among other things.)
In a male form there could be a challenge to integrate oscillating extremes with regard to sexual desire fueled by intense endocrine rhythms e.g. testosterone/ adrenaline. Objectification, vacating, withdrawal (Uranus) then the acute need to act on primal, imperative, desires (Mars) (Perhaps other signatures could flavor this experience i.e. Saturn- guilt/ shame, Jupiter- justification/ glamour?) I just have a general sense of a drive to engage physically but, an inconsistency (lack/abundance, up/down) of energy to deliver.
Blood/Veins/Arteries: I looked into the conductivity of blood to see if there was a link to alkalinity. Conductivity increases as ionic (TDS) presence increases. A basic case for hydration! Vericosity, Varicocele
Breath/Lungs/Trachea: as CO2 increases, acidity increases which, lead to a host of physical maladies (Bohr effect) e.g. acidosis, hyperviscosity, and hypercoaguability → thrombophilia, thrombosis (clot) (O2 intake effects pH more than diet) dry/ dehydrated, asthma, hyperventilation
GI/Duodenum/Esophagus-Mars dry/ dehydrated, easily irritated, acid reflux, ulcers, Chrohn's
Endocrine: Imbalances of adrenaline, testosterone, cortisol (Cushings), and acetylcholine (Alzheimer's) all can interfere with REM sleep, DHEA, androgen (a strong Pluto or Neptune aspect might pull this into a condition of intersex)
Sex/ Sex organs: dynamic libido, appear virile though may have imbalances that prevent 'performance.' compromised sperm count, oligozoospermia
Remedial efforts... (Serious avoidance of stimulants, alcohol, excitotoxins, and neurotoxins) consistant REM sleep, pure water, calming smells- sage, alkalizing foods, herbs- mucilages and flavinoids. Since the Uranus-Mars opposition is so dynamic (and potentially combative) routine pranayama and asana. Sitting in a position that opens and grounds the root chakra (perineum/ CV1) Breathing with eyes closed (quieting/ non-threatening sensory depravation) that is full and engages the diaphragm, massaging the viscera (Anapanasati- observing the sensation of the breath (Uranus) through the nostrils—balancing the nadis (left-inertia; right-action) This opening of the lungs aides 'CO2 disposal, preventing ammonia, ketones and aromatic amines from building up to toxic levels' Increases circulation without exertion. Asanas that put the pelvis in line or above the heart and brain without exertion such as uttanasana, virasana, prasarita padottanasana, and savasana.
So very grateful for this opportunity to practice!
God Bless,

Hi Rad and All,
The first thing that popped into my head is stress. Uranus correlates to the brain, Mars to the adrenals so on and so forth. I was thinking about the "flight or fight" response but then thought about cortisol. Cortisol is produced by the adrenal gland and secreted during a stress response. Looking back through the material, I see that cortisol, as well as hormones, are ruled by Libra, Taurus, Venus etc. Being we are focusing on Mars opp Uranus and nothing else, does this rule stress out since the signatures that correlate to cortisol are not included at this point and cortisol is a major stress hormone?

Hi Cat,
First, hormones, in general, correlate with Scorpio, Pluto, and the 8th House. Venus correlates as a co-ruler with Pluto to cortisol. The adrenals also secrete the hormones Epinephrine ( adrenaline ) which correlates to Mars with the co-ruler Pluto and Norepinephrine which correlate with Saturn and Pluto. Thus the 'flight or fight' as you put it. Stress, whatever the causes may be, disrupts the equilibrium, balance, between these hormones. Thus, in the signature that we are looking into, Mars in opposition to Uranus, stress then can cause extreme imbalances of these hormones relate to the adrenals. This then creates a high degree of adrenal stress that can lead to adrenal fatigue, or outright collapse of the adrenals. When that takes place a variety of other medical conditions can then take place.
God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad and all,
Mars Opposite Uranus Medical
Energetic imbalance between middle layer of Root chakra corresponding to one´s individuating function, and the Navel chakra which corresponds to one´s personal will power. The imbalance is shown by the opposition aspect and will correlate to stress between these two dynamics.
As Mars is instinctive and Uranus unpredictable, this is a very volatile person who can become angry/irritable in a split second, with no apparent warning and with the potential for an uncontrollable temper. This can lead to high levels of psychological, emotional and physical stress. Stress as we know can cause all sorts of medical conditions and dis-eases.
Some potential conditions that can manifest with this planetary combination are:
High levels of adrenaline as a result of stress, effecting heart rate. Heart attack due to the contracting of the arteries and muscle tissues and/or thickening of the blood. Aneurism due to the bursting of a vein in the brain. Pulmonary embolism due to clotting of the blood. Varicose veins due to dehydration. Over sensitized nervous system which can lead to shaking, over sensitivity to pain and electricity or other stimulus including sexual stimulus which leads to over excitement and pre-mature ejaculation, tense muscles that contract and don´t let blood flow properly to them, muscular spasms, headaches and a highly nervous and reactive individual all round.
Other potential conditions:
Irregular breathing which can lead to fatigue due to lack of oxygen.
Possible brain damage from birth.
Erratic physical movements.
Hormonal imbalances in the adrenal glands due to irregular sexual desires, stress, anger, anxiety, which can lead to peaks/bursts of energy or a lack of energy and fatigue.
Hormonal imbalances in the hypothalamus which can effect testosterone production and metabolic rate, leading to chronic fatigue amongst other conditions.
My anatomical and physiological knowledge is limited but will improve. Thank you for the opportunity!

Hi Rad and Group,
I realize the list of possibilities is long with this signature and it is also relative depending on the Soul's choices (Mars), stage of evolution as well as other signatures in the chart but here are some potential possibilities.
Mars Oppose Uranus in a male body
This Soul would not have most likely come into this life with unresolved trauma. Trauma is linked with Uranus and the opposition to Mars reflects being born with some form of PTSD. There may be events that would have created potentially more trauma, resulting in the THE INABILITY TO EVER REALLY RELAX for they may always be wondering or worrying when the next shoe will drop because of experiencing prior unexpected traumas that may have caught them by surprise. The accumulated stress over time also due to the PTSD would cause the whole system to be in a constant state of tension. This kind of pressure and tension would increase the stress on the heart and the entire blood (Mars) stream, causing potential for heart attack or in extreme cases a brain Aneurysm which occurs where there is a weak area in the wall of an artery that supplies blood to the brain causing a stroke. "The most common location for brain aneurysms is in the network of blood vessels at the base of the brain called the circle of Willis."
The elevated stress on the body due to an over active nervous system can effect all of the organs over time, especially the heart organ and the blood vessels as they as a result will have to be working harder to keep up with the pace of the potential higher blood pressure and heart rate that can accompany PTSD. A red blood cell's (Mars) main function is carrying oxygen in the blood to various cells in the body, it uses a protein called hemoglobin for that purpose, where it picks up oxygen (Uranus) in the lungs and distributes it to the cells in the rest of the body.
A stroke is a condition in which the brain cells suddenly die because of a lack of oxygen. This can be caused by an obstruction in the blood flow, or the rupture of an artery that feeds the brain. The patient may suddenly lose the ability to speak, there may be memory problems, or one side of the body can become paralyzed.
This Soul will has the potential for sudden HEAD (Mars) injuries of a traumatic kind though some kind of unforeseen accident that could impact the spinal cord (Uranus), The opposition reflects the potential severity of a potential injury, that will range depending on other factors in the chart from moderate to severe as in paralysis. You can see this in a hard blow to the head in a football game, a car accident or a hard fall/accident to the head. The fact that Uranus is involved this suggests an injury that could have long term effects of a traumatic nature that impact the overall nervous system.
"The brain stem is an important part of the hindbrain, and it controls functions that are critical to life, such as breathing and swallowing. The cerebellum is also located here, playing a role in physical ability. The brain stem is a structure that connects the brain to the spinal cord. Damage to this structure can be catastrophic, as it controls such things as blood pressure, heartbeat, and swallowing."
The type of injury is going to effect how the brain sends messages to the entire body including how the person is experiencing the pain resulting from the injury. In some cases this could feel like being plugged into a light socket of pain or the pain could shoot in out of no where. Also this signature connects to having a constant inner buzzing like static in the cells due to the nerves in the spinal column being traumatized or stressed. Because so much energy, blood, thus oxygen is being directed to the area of the potential injury, other organs could be also impacted if they they are not getting the blood flow they need to perform efficiently.
Headaches caused by constant stress. Any form of emotional stress caused by unresolved trauma will take it s toll physically on the body for emotional stress is the root of all dis-ease.
Migraines - A migraine is a severe, painful headache that is often preceded or accompanied by sensory warning signs such as flashes of light, blind spots, tingling in the arm. Migraine headaches result from a combination of blood vessel enlargement and the release of chemicals from nerve fibers that coil around these blood vessels. During the headache, an artery enlarges that is located on the outside of the skull just under the skin of the temple (temporal artery). This causes a release of chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and further enlargement of the artery.
Uranus connect to the LUNGS and the function of breathing so within this signature it could also connect to injury to the lungs for example a gun shot to the lungs or a puncture such as the rib puncturing the lung through some kind of accident. Also the predisposition to lung conditions such as Pneumonia which is caused by an inflammation of one or both lungs due to infection Also Pleurisy which is an inflammation of the pleura, which is the moist, double-layered membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the rib cage. The condition can make breathing extremely painful causing a sharp Mars pain when breathing, so with each breath, Uranus, there is a sharp Mars Pain. Sometimes it is associated with another condition called pleural effusion, in which excess fluid fills the area between the membrane's layers.
PTSD is a Uranian phenomena, Uranus also connects to the lungs and breathing, and as a result the stress can lodge itself in the lungs, similar to watching an accident happen, it creates one to gasp and the lungs freeze, you might find yourself holding your breath. all the oxygen exchanges occur in the lungs so if someone is not able to fully utilize lung capacity due to stress or not being able to breathe full or deeply, this then effects how oxygen it carried throughout the entire body thus how all of the organs are functioning for Oxygen equals LIFE.
Asthma: The airways are persistently inflamed, and may occasionally spasm, causing wheezing and shortness of breath. Asthma can manifest in Souls with unresolved trauma,
Because Mars connects to blood flow, as well as Mars ruling male genitalia, this could impact this man's ability to have an erection either through some trauma to his penis or as a result of nerve damage to the nerves that innervate this area.
Interruption of the flow..short circuiting..Uranus ruling the middle layer of the root chakra where the root of kundalini/sexual desires emanate can create a short circuiting because of the injury..this could also reflect in a "healthy" body quite the opposite, an easy and fast and electric ease of being able to have erection..being that it is an extreme signature...so in a healthy body it would would not take any warming up.
With Mars oppose Uranus this can be linked with an extremity of adrenaline due to the sustained stress in some cases this can cause an Adrenaline Rush. When that rush kicks in it turns off bodily functions such as digestion and boosts oxygen and glucose to the brain.
This signature can also be linked with an extremity in acids as Mars rules all the acids in the body with Pluto which can therefore ignite digestive complications, as well as reflux whereby the stomach acids recede into the esophagus and cause a burning. This is known as GERD Gastroespohageal reflux disease that effect the lower esophageal sphincter. Esophagus is Mars.
The Mars oppose Uranus can also connect to PTSD combined with an intense of anger because of the traumas that may have occurred. The Mars oppose Uranus can also reflect a war symbol, being involved in explosions, gun shots etc and so the trauma linked with war/anger/revolt will physically take its toll on the body especially as over the years, any long term memories of the war are released within the nervous system can create an emergence of anger and total panic to surface seemingly out of nowhere and the Mars, flight or flight, 3rd chakra ruler can create an intensity that causes the blood to boil and the heart to race effecting directly the heart muscle, adding extra stress to all of the capillaries, and blood vessels causing inflammation, stress to all organs. At bare minimum this signature suggests a constant undercurrent of anxiety of some form that is always in place, never really free from stress, and the body always in a state of tension.

Hi Rad I have a couple basic questions that have come up as I'm working on the Uranus Mars correlations:
Sweat is mostly water and minerals. Minerals are Saturn. However is sweat, the substance itself, connected to Uranus? Is sweat an electrolyte?
Also would you mind clarifying the role electrolytes play in the body and how/why that correlates with Uranus?
Lastly, is the nose partially Uranus because it is responsible for taking in Oxygen?
Thank you so much. Love,

Hi Rad I have a couple basic questions that have come up as I'm working on the Uranus Mars correlations:
Sweat is mostly water and minerals. Minerals are Saturn. However is sweat, the substance itself, connected to Uranus? Is sweat an electrolyte?
Sweat is a water that is filled with various minerals that the body via the sympathetic nervous system activates in order to regulate the body's temperature. Because of the connection to the sympathetic nervous system there is a correlation to Uranus. Additionally, the body temperature is regulated by the heart rate, and thus the Sun. It is not an electrolyte. There are sweat electrolyte tests that are aimed at determining the levels of chloride within the sweat. But, of itself, sweat is not an electrolyte. Because sweat is a water it's primary correlation with the natural trinity of the 4th, 12th, and 8th Houses, Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio, and Pluto, Neptune, and the Moon. To me the lead in this is the 4th House, Cancer, and the Moon which then has as it's natural polarity Saturn, Capricorn, and the 10th House that then correlates to the various minerals within the sweat.
The sweat gland itself correlates with Pluto, Scorpio, and the 8th House.
Also would you mind clarifying the role electrolytes play in the body and how/why that correlates with Uranus?
They correlate with Uranus because electrolytes are electrically charged, which means that they can conduct electrical impulses. The body needs electrical impulses to make muscle cells contract. The generation of an electrical impulse by a cell requires an electrical voltage to be maintained across the membrane of that cell. The difference in electrolyte levels creates and maintains these electrical voltages.
When the body intakes minerals from food they dissolve into a fluid that is then called an electrolyte. They're present in blood, urine, in the fluid inside the body's cells and in the fluid in the space surrounding the cells. Sodium, calcium, chloride, magnesium and potassium are the most common electrolytes in the human body. They're essential for many heart, nerve and muscle functions. They also play an important role in keeping fluid levels normal in different body compartments.
When imbalances occur in these electrolytes, whatever the causes may be, it can lead to medical issues linked with the nervous system, and the heart, in various degrees of severity. The body must maintain a balance between the water levels within the body and the electrolytes in order to function normally.
Lastly, is the nose partially Uranus because it is responsible for taking in Oxygen?
Yes, because it is part of the entire structure that takes in oxygen in the body. From this perspective even the mouth could have a correlation to Uranus.
God Bless, Rad

What could be an approach to solving such equations?
$$f'(x)=C \prod_{k=0}^x f(k)$$
$$\frac{g'(x)}{g(x)}=C+ \sum_{k=0}^{x-1} g(k)$$
Here the product and the sum are understood as indefinite sum and product (i.e. generalized to real x), although a solution which holds only for integer x would also be appreciated.
Are there any methods available?
More than in a concrete solution I am interested to learn general methods of solving such equations.
