Man, I just LOVE Whole Foods! So many fruits, so many vegetables, so organic! But SO expensive! How could I ever afford this?! Hey my munchies! The January Bento series is over, so we are back to our regular programming, videos are coming every THURSDAY on YouTube But don't worry—we have tons of other exciting projects in the works and lots of bonus content coming your way
A lot of us are trying to stay on track with eating well in 2017, and one of the things that helps me MOST with that is meal prepping Today we are taking it a step further – I am going to show you that you can meal prep ALL of your meals for the week, that's five days of breakfasts, lunch, dinners and snacks, for UNDER FIFTY DOLLARS! AND I'm shopping at Whole Foods to make it even MORE challenging I know a lot of people think eating healthy has to be expensive, but it doesn't! It may require a bit more planning, or time, or brain power, but it can be done FYI I did not include regular pantry items that I already had like olive oil, or spices like cinnamon, salt, pepper, etcetera in the price, because I don't need to buy those every week If you're looking for extra meal prepping help, my meal prep eBook is a beginner guide to teach you HOW to meal prep for YOUR lifestyle
It offers tips and guidance to help you plan your most efficient and effective prep, and it's available right now at mindovermunchcom If you use the code "50DOLLAR" that's five-zero-dollar, at checkout for this week only, you can get 10% off any eBook or package of your choice! On to the prep! On the breakfast menu this week, we've got prepped freezer smoothies and steel cut oatmeal For the smoothies I'm using frozen fruit—remember that fruit is frozen at it's peak time of freshness so nutrients are not lost—bananas, which are pretty affordable year round—although at Whole Foods they are of course much higher than I usually find elsewhere—and frozen spinach FUN TIP: did you know you can freeze greens? Greens like kale and spinach freeze really well for smoothies, but since I'm going to freeze these smoothies anyway, I thought, why spend the extra money on fresh, when I could save a TON and get frozen– and just like with the fruits, greens will retain their nutrients when frozen, too
Simply blend everything together with a little bit of water You do want this to be REALLY thick, because you're going to freeze it and then blend it again later with more liquid, so we don't need too much at first And then, we can transfer to an ice cube tray I like to use the trays with covers like these, which I will link in the description, because these are going to be used all week long When you're ready to make your smoothie, simply allow those cubes to thaw for a few minutes, add some liquid—milk, water or juice will all work—and blend into your smoothie! Perfect
On to the oats– for all oats, whether they are steel cut, rolled or quick cooking, buying in bulk will keep the price tag down AND you can buy as much as you need I know a lot of people prefer steel cut oats They aren't really "healthier" than rolled but they are less processed, and they digest more slowly than rolled, they were also surprisingly the SAME price as rolled oats when I bought in bulk The problem: they usually take FOREVER to cook– like an hour on the stove! So today, I'm teaching you a hack to get these oats done quickly We're going to bring steel cut oats, water, salt and cinnamon to a boil
Simmer for about three minutes, and then turn off the heat Then, divide into jars to store for the week, and allow to cool for about an hour without the lids, and then add those lids on and transfer to the fridge When you're ready to eat, stir up the oatmeal, microwave two to three minutes until hot, and then you can add whatever add-ins you like! I was able to afford currants, which are just a version of seedless raisins that happened to be cheaper than raisins, and put some cinnamon in there as well This quick method works because you are almost "pre-cooking" the oats just briefly at first, and then finishing them off in the microwave later, expediting the process And that is my nutritious meal prepped breakfast, bringing us to a total so far of eight dollars and sixty-seven cents for the week
On to lunch! I am going with a classic combo: Veggie Soup & a Chickpea Salad! This is the easiest soup in the world – I've got frozen cauliflower and corn, they actually only had organic cauliflower today, both of which are pretty affordable frozen, as well as some white potatoes, carrots and salt to season Remember, white potatoes get a bad rep, but they are still a great choice! Don't be afraid of potatoes – the problem is when we fry them and smother them with buttery-cheesy deliciousness White potatoes still offer fiber, Vitamin B6, potassium, Vitamin C, and other vitamins, minerals and nutrients For this soup, you literally just add in your ingredients with some salt, bring water to a boil, and let them cook until fork tender Then we can drain the salted water, but save some some of it, and blend! An immersion blender, regular blender, and food processor will all work just fine! Add the salted water back in until you get the consistency that you prefer
I like my soup SUPER creamy and thick, but if you prefer a broth-based soup you don't even need to blend it, or you could blend it and leave it chunky, it's up to you! For our salad, we're turning to a very dependable affordable ingredient: BEANS I am going with chickpeas Now we have an interesting situation here with the chickpeas so excuse me for a second while I digress from meal prep to make a point Most of the time in these budget situations, people suggest DRY beans over canned But honestly, canned beans are very affordable
Check it out – This can of cooked chickpeas is seventy-nine cents, and measures out to one and three-quarters cup of total cooked beans This bag of dry chickpeas is currently two dollars and ninety-nine cents, and will yield you seven cups of cooked beans Seven cups of cooked beans is equal to four cans Four cans would cost you three dollars and sixteen cents So as you can see, there is a seventeen cent difference between the two, but the dry chickpeas take SIGNIFICANTLY more time to make
My point is, don't fret about getting canned beans to save money Just try to get the no or low-sodium beans, and drain them and rinse them so you're in control of the salt content If you guys enjoy these types of breakdowns in videos, please give this video a thumbs up, and remember to subscribe for more affordable meal prep content! But, it's not "hard" to make the dry chickpeas, and for the sake of this being a CHALLENGE video I am going to show you how to do it WITHOUT SOAKING THEM So to cook your dry chickpeas, rinse the chickpeas, and then add them to a pot with enough water to cover the beans Bring to a boil over high heat
Use a spoon to remove any of the foam that rises, and then lower the heat so that the water is at a simmer, stirring occasionally Add water if it's needed, and cook until they are as tender as you'd like It will take between 2 and 4 hours, which is a lot, but it's significantly less than letting them sit overnight Is it worth the seventeen cents we saved by not buying canned? That's for you to decide Back to the meal prep! For the salad, I used about half the cooked chickpeas
For some fresh elements I chose cucumber, tomatoes – and Romas will almost always be the cheapest tomato option – green bell peppers, which will almost always be your cheapest pepper option because they're less mature, onion, AND we're going to double up on this and use it for dinner as well, as we are fresh parsley, and finishing it off with a lime, olive oil, and salt & pep to season I literally chop all of these ingredients and then mix them together For your lime, make the most of that item by using the juice AND zest for flavor And then drizzle with that olive oil and season to taste And boom! Salad
I don't add greens because the salad will last much better throughout the week if there aren't any Lunch cost me eighteen dollars and forty-seven cents for these 5 very hefty servings (remember you can freeze the soup if it's too much or save part of it for dinner), so we are at a tally of twenty-seven dollars and fourteen cents so far for the week! For dinner, I wanted to take this challenge to the MAX and include a protein, so I am going to show a garlic chicken rice bowl Protein is generally a big ticket item, and I could have made this a completely vegan meal prep, but honestly, including chicken made it harder for the challenge budget-wise, so here it is If you are looking for a vegan meal prep, all you have to do is sub out this protein with a plant-based protein like tofu, beans, etcetera, and the entire prep will be vegan Of course, this is Whole Foods so it is PRICEY, so I was left with whatever was on sale
Beef was actually on sale this week but I prefer to include poultry in meal prep, so I can save red meat consumption for more occasional indulgences This week ground turkey and chicken were also on sale, and by on sale I mean still priced higher than you'll find elsewhere, and I went with chicken Now it's not the EXTRA lean kind, that was even more expensive, this is the blend that includes both white AND dark meat BUT remember, dark meat in chicken and poultry doesn't need to be avoided completely Yes, white meat is leaner so it has less fat, but dark meat actually contains more nutrients and minerals, like iron, zinc, vitamins A, K, B complex, etcetera
To make this prep super easy and efficient, I am doing a ONE POT rice dish, and for the ingredients I went with garlic, brown rice from the bulk bins, frozen broccoli, the remaining frozen spinach, fresh parsley, onion, and chickpeas from earlier, and some olive oil, salt and pep, and water And, FUN FACT: one cup of uncooked white rice will yield three cups cooked, but one cup of uncooked BROWN rice will yield FOUR cups cooked—so you're really getting WAY more for your dollar! In a bit of olive oil, sauté your onions and whole garlic cloves I LOVE whole garlic, and since I used my budget to buy that whole head of garlic I am sure as heck gonna use it to give this dish TONS of flavor, you could use less Also, on my Facebook page today I'm showing you a video for how to peel a head of garlic SUPER EASILY, so be sure to check that out after this! Then you can add your ground meat, any kind of ground meat will work for this dish, OR again you could omit completely or sub tofu, and heat until it's cooked through Then we can add in our salt & pep for seasoning, rice, frozen broccoli, spinach and water
Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer for twenty to thirty minutes until the water is absorbed, and then we can stir in the chickpeas and parsley from earlier If you don't want chickpeas in both meals, you could of course use any other beans that you prefer, I just didn't want these to go to waste from earlier This dish is so easy, has so much flavor, and is a great option for storing food all week long By the way, if you guys want more one pot dishes, be sure to let me know in the comments below because maybe I could do a video on that! Dinner was a total of eleven dollars and forty-eight cents, meaning we are at thirty-eight dollars and sixty-two cents for the week so far, and that leaves us some room in the budget for snacks! I wanted at least one fresh fruit snack, we did use bananas in the freezer smoothies, but I wanted to make sure we have a truly fresh piece of fruit every single day Those Lady Alice apples were on sale, so I went with those! I also wanted some more fat and protein to keep me full between meals, so I looked at the bulk bin snacky foods for a DIY trail mix
I decided to get the most affordable options, which were sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and popcorn kernels For your popcorn, if you don't have an air-popper, you can use the microwave or the stove – my website newsletter subs know how to do this from a few weeks ago Cover the bottom of your pot with your kernels and close your lid Turn the stove on medium heat, and stay close by to listen as it pops Once you have a few seconds between pops, you can turn off the stove and wait a minute for it to cool before storing or serving
Popcorn is one of my favorite ways to bulk up trail mix because it's low in calories to contrast the higher calories of the nuts, but also provides fiber and whole-grain goodness! And that is my meal prep for the week! With those snacks, we've reached a total of forty-four dollars and eighty-six cents, and look at that… only forty-five dollars total! I saved five dollars during this challenge and ended up with prepped meals for the week! Of course I know prices altogether will vary based on your location and what's in season for you, but the point is , as always, not to replicate this EXACT meal prep – it's to offer inspiration and show you that, with a little bit of planning and consideration, healthy meals can absolutely be affordable, EVEN if you choose to purchase organic items and shop at places like Whole Foods Which I generally don't But that's not the point Anyway, If you're someone who's thinking "I don't want to eat the same thing every day," that's fine! I have a whole playlist of meal prep, and many of those videos show "basic" prep for people who want to switch it up throughout the week and have some items prepared If you're someone who doesn't have TIME to do this much prep, because this probably will take me tree to four hours with clean up if I wasn't filming it, that's fine, too! I have a ONE HOUR meal prep video that you can check out! The recipes from this episode are on mindovermunch
com and they are linked in the description box below for easy access! You can also find info on my meal prep eBook there, too If you enjoyed this episode I would really appreciate if you would share it with a friend and give it a thumbs up! I would love to help show others who are skeptical that healthy CAN be affordable, even at Whole Foods! I look forward to reading your comments below, and if you do try out some meal prepping don't forget to tag me on social Have a wonderful week and weekend, and remember! It's all a matter of mind over munch!

As the first signs of fall become unavoidable, Namco Bandai has a grim 'n' chilly new prologue clip from Dark Souls to mark the lengthening nights. Just as the initial backstory teaser detailed the formation of the world as Dark Souls knows it, so this one introduces some of the storied personages of the game's mythology. Just don't come crying about how the Furtive Pygmy's easily forgotten – because it's right there, being furtive, near the end of the video. So chill, alright?
If you missed the first prologue trailer for Dark Souls, you cancatch up here. Without spoiling anything for you, though, you should know that these things aren't going to end well for the game's world or characters. Which, by the Law of Videogame Grimness (character misery is directly inversely proportional to player enjoyment), means Dark Souls, still a month from launch, is looking pretty freaking fantastic.

Memo to board: we need to talk about BP
Michael Skapinker
Skapinker says that following the BP Deepwater Horizon oil well disaster, all companies should set aside time to discuss the implications of a catastrophe hitting their organization. A disaster can hit any firm so they should all take time to think what their potentially grave threats are and how they would deal with them. The Deepwater Horizon disaster highlighted the importance of having a well-rehearsed response ready for when things go wrong. Skapinker adds that there is little point in firms moaning about adverse media coverage should catastrophe hit. Round-the-clock news, blogs, and Twitter accounts are the way of the world now. The smart move is to prevent a disaster happening in the first place.
Michael Skapinker is an assistant editor of the Financial Times, a columnist and the editor of the FT's special reports

Groopex Integrated Conferencing provides Moodle WebEx integration and Moodle Live Meeting integration, allowing hosting of actual classes directly from an LMS, bypassing the need for a physical environment for your establishment. Web conferencing programs such as WebEx Meeting Center, WebEx Training Center, and WebEx Event Center fills the needs of the common classroom, such as:
- Whiteboard
- Handouts (document sharing)
- Face to face discussions (Webcams and VoIP)
- Viewing presentations
- Raising hand
- Taking notes
- Polling
Further, web conferencing exceeds the abilities of the typical classroom by additionally providing the following:
- Real time pointing, so students can see where a teacher is reading from, or a teacher can see what a student is referring to when asking a question
- Annotation, underlining or highlighting anything needing emphasis, or drawing a diagram on a document
- Application sharing, allowing specialized applications for a particular topic to be viewed by all, and even worked on together
- Full recordings
Groopex provides a complete E-Learning solution, combining learning management systems (LMS) with fully integrated web conferencing. Our unparalleled comprehensive offerings enable your establishment to run and manage a worldwide online school or provide corporate training to multiple offsite facilities with ease.
An LMS, such as Moodle, allows your faculty to create a school online without needing a physical headquarters. It covers the management of all the needs of a typical office staff, such as:
- Semesters, courses, teachers, and students
- Enrollment, including tuition management, and online payment
- Calendar for each course, or the school year, integrated with popular calendar software
- Distribution of course material, such as slides, documents, and homework
- Homework grading, and online tests
- Transcripts and report generation
- Bulletin boards for news and school announcements
- Leaving messages for staff, students, coworkers, and classmates
- Chat rooms
- Much much more
Because of these capabilities, many schools and universities use an LMS as their infrastructure for managing education. For the classes themselves, teachers and students have to come to school and show up to their classes. This provides a burden on the school, and on the students. Schools need to have a physical location, with enough room for the amount of classes they are offering, and limit themselves to teachers and students who are geographically able to attend.
In the classical school setting, the disadvantages are numerous:
- Expensive real estate costs and upkeep
- Selection of teachers is limited to those who live nearby or willing to move
- Bad weather is able to prevent classes from occurring
- Delays due to traffic
- Minor ailments preventing teachers or students from showing up
- Special needs students requiring separate education in order not to disrupt mainstream learning
- Students geographically disadvantaged receive a poor education, or none at all
Groopex has enabled education opportunities which heretofore were impossible. Thanks to Groopex, teachers living in their own country have been able to teach language to foreign students elsewhere, as well as start up an online school in 2007, which so far has reached over 9000 students in over 120 different cities worldwide. With Groopex, many unheard of teaching conditions are now possible, including:
- Allow leading experts to lecture courses worldwide from the comfort of their own home, no longer limiting your teaching staff to the mediocre selection nearby
- Provide courses around the clock to those who can only learn at strange hours, thanks to teachers being in multiple time zones
- Allow those on isolated farms, military bases, or other rural areas to receive a first class education
- Teachers traveling to another continent for a family event, or even business or pleasure, can still teach their classes right on time
- Families moving far away no longer disrupt their children's education
- Minor ailments such as a bad cold do not prevent attendance, nor is there worry about classmates getting sick too
- Zero transportation costs for staff or students
- No time wasted getting to and from school
- Those who need a review, or missed a class, can see exactly what they missed or need to review thanks to full recordings of every class
- No need for a physical location
- Never needing to worry about other students bringing firearms or drugs to school
- Attending classes during a blizzard
- Attending a class from work during a lunch break
The above list at first glance might seem like a fantasy, but is a reality when using Groopex Integrated Conferencing for E-Learning. Our clients have already done everything mentioned here, and so can you.
We at Groopex use our own products in-house for corporate training and staff meetings, so we understand your needs and our products very well.

In fact, Lexus has never "officially" appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, but that changes with the 2013 running of the event. Now a contributing manufacturer, the Japanese luxury brand will use the celebration of all things fast to help introduce its latest wares in the United Kingdom.
Front and center will be the all-new 2014 Lexus IS range (including the IS 300h hybrid), which Lexus will market with test drives for Goodwood attendees before the car even hits dealer showrooms.
Also on display will be the new-for-2013 GS sedan and the now out-of-production LFA supercar, which proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that Lexus could build more than just luxury cars.
Gazoo Racing will be back with its LFA endurance racer, too, fresh off their running of the Nürburgring 24 Hours. It will be joined on its run up the hill by the all-new IS 300h F Sport hybrid, as Lexus seeks to demonstrate that the spirit of the LFA lives on in all its models.
The 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed is set to take place on July 12 - 14, with the Moving Motor Show scheduled for July 11. For ticket information, head on over to the Goodwood Festival of Speed home page.

SANAA (Reuters) – A fuel shortage is deepening Yemen's humanitarian crisis, forcing drivers to wait for days in lines that stretch back from some petrol stations as far as the eye can see.
The new shortage is just one of many problems causing suffering in the civil war being fought by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement and a Saudi-led coalition backed by the West.
But its consequences are far-reaching. Fuel is needed not just for cars but also for water pumps, hospital generators and to transport goods around a country where millions are on the brink of famine.
"It's affecting us and all the Yemeni people," said Nashwan Khaled, who had already been waiting for two days in a queue for petrol in Sanaa, the Houthi-controlled capital where many petrol stations have been forced to close.
"I put my job and my life on hold," he said.
Petrol on the black market is selling for almost three times the official price. Drivers can queue for two or three days.
"Fuel shortages in Yemen exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation in the country and lead to unacceptable levels of suffering," said Sultana Begum, a representative of the Norwegian Refugee Council humanitarian organization.
Imports into areas controlled by Houthis have to go through stringent controls imposed by the Saudi-led military coalition which intervened in Yemen in 2015 to restore the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Supplies can be held at ports and frontline borders for months because of bureaucracy on both sides, aid agencies say.
"Today we are in a very bad situation, there's a fuel crisis and they are stopping fuel ships from entering Yemen with the excuse of security," said Ahmed Nasser, standing at a petrol station. "We suffer shortages of fuel, goods, all commodities."
A Djibouti-based U.N. inspection mechanism was set up in 2015 after the coalition accused the Houthis of smuggling Iranian weapons through Yemeni ports under their control, a charge both the group and Tehran deny.
Ships also need permission from the internationally recognized Yemeni government and the Western-backed, Sunni Muslim coalition to enter ports.
Last week, United Nations aid chief Mark Lowcock said he was concerned that imports were being further complicated by new Yemeni government regulations on commercial fuel.
He said earlier this month that the coalition and government were preventing 10 vessels carrying 163,000 metric tonnes of commercial fuel imports – more than an average month's imports – from entering the port of Hodeidah. Two of the ships have since been allowed to dock, port sources told Reuters.
The coalition's spokesman was not immediately available for comment. A government committee accused the Houthis of "fabricating" the fuel crisis in response to the regulations, Saudi state media said.

The Employment Strategies For The Oil And Gas Companies
When you are running oil and gas companies, you have to be totally aware of what you are doing. Because one mistake could ruin hundreds of people's lives. This just mean one thing. You can't let anything goes wrong by the hand of anyone who is working under you for your companies. In simple, you can't take any employee who is not worth the position they are working, which means you can't hire people who are not qualified for the particular position in your company. But it is not something that you can do since you can't spend our precious time to check ones qualification to work under your company if the job is a minor one or a complex one, someone has to be there to help you throughout this process and advise you.
Where to get help
As oil and gas companies, it has its benefits as well as its risks to uphold to. So always professionalism should have to be the number one when working with this industry. To have employees who are well trained and professional in what they are doing meaning well qualified, you have to have a procedure as a company owner or someone at the management who is in charge of hiring process. Having the help of a recruitment agency, is the best way to go with. Because if you try to do this as a company, you won't be able to do it as selecting people for the right job is a process that has to be handled delicately.
Job fields to cover
When it comes to the oil and gas companies, the fields that the employment is required is vary from each other. It could go all around the upstream, downstream, offshore and onshore projects and each of these projects need the employees who are well trained specifically for each of the tasks that has to be full filled accordingly. Well, some employee maybe trained for two tasks, but if they choose the field they are interested but not the one they are confident with, then the risk for the company is too high. Therefore, the training and the qualifications of the employees should have to be thoroughly evaluated, and then only they are ready to take as employees. Recruitment agencies in Bangkok are the best in this kind of process of all time. View more information here – https://www.vinarco.com/oil-gas/.
So be aware
Therefore if you are an owner to a gas and oil company, always consider the train and the qualification levels of your employees at all times, because like said, if something goes wrong, you will have to endure a big loss at that.

For me there is nothing better than finishing a project. It is a combination of time and hard work that leads to something that you're hopefully very proud of. I recently finished a new illustration of the multi-headed naga.
The multi-headed Naga is a popular symbol used in Cambodian temples and artwork. They are most commonly seen as banisters or lintels, especially among the temples of Angkor Wat complex. I was inspired by the different sculptures and decided to show my own stylized version.
The naga, or mythical serpent, is frequently depicted as having multiple heads, always in odd numbers, arranged in a fan. Here are some examples from my time in Cambodia:
Nagas are present in a number of Khmer legends and stories. The union of an Indian Brahman and a serpent princess of Cambodia (a naga) is said to be the origin of the Khmer people.
Mythological creatures have always been one of my favorite things to draw, second only to animals, so I thought this would be a fun illustration to do. Here's the result:
Like most of my illustrations this piece is made on smooth Arches hot press watercolor paper. I drew the naga with pen and ink. Then to finish it off I used watercolor for the color.
Have you ever created art from your travels? Share your art in the comments below and I'll take a look! If you've ever created art from your travels, or that is something that interests you check out Artistic Friday Features where I feature traveling artists and/or art related to travel.
Resources: All of my information was info that I learned from pamphlets and the Angkor National Museum. I also read up on the naga and Khmer architecture on Wikipedia.

Women's Renaissance
The prominent role of native Hawaiian women in governance and in family life was thwarted deliberately by the Calvinist missionaries and by the choice, made by Kamehamea's wife, Kaahumanu and other rulers, to embrace the same Calvinist beliefs and cultural mentality contrary to the beliefs of common people. In The Rights of My People, author Neil Proto explores the intellectual, social and political Renaissance of native Hawaiian women; their challenge to the Calvinist mentality and their reemergence in governance and civic life. For King Kalakaua and, critically, Liliuokalani, the reemergence of women- as allies – was essential to their ability to regain native Hawaiian control of the nation. Liliuokalani's most trusted advisers – in Hawaii and on the continental United States- during the two battles for sovereignty over annexation and the taking of the Crown lands were native Hawaiian women. Drawing, in part, on existing work and previously unexamined correspondence, Proto amplifies the evolving meaning of the Renaissance in Hawaii throughout the book, especially in his third chapter, Allies: Women and the Renaissance of the Ali'i.
"In 1893, when Joseph Nawahi of Hilo assumed the presidency of the Men's Patriotic League and Emma Nawahi and Abigail Campbell assumed responsibility for the Women's Patriotic League, Liliuokalani had witnessed and, with her brother, had helped foster another dramatic transformation in Hawaii: The redefinition of the ali'i and the reemergence of women in what she knew – when taking the long view – was an enduring struggle for Hawaii's identity imbued deeply in the fate of the land."
and Emma A'ima Nawahi.
"Abigail Campbell's and Emma Nawahi's origins and experiences were different. Both women now would draw on their intuitive and learned skills in the context of a grave public matter: how to discern motives, recognize emerging political forces, report on events, and prognosticate the future in order to provide leadership and counsel to others."
"In 1892, when native Hawaiian men – as "qualified voters" -submitted petitions to Liliuokalani in support of a change to the constitution, she also received petitions from women. They had "crossed out the references to qualified voters, substituting their own wording so that the petition read, in part, 'we humbly, the people of your own Lahui [Nation] to whom the names below belong…are Hawaii's own Native women.'"
"In the end, the imposition of the 1887 constitution and, in 1893, the coup d'état had little to do with Kalakaua's or Liliuokalani's lack of adherence to constitutional norms or to profligate spending. The imposition had to do with their skill at provoking, in a way that now seemed permanent, Hawaiian nationalism and an ability to govern politically. Their sin: Both monarchs challenged the seventeenth century New England model that Thurston, Dole, and Smith insisted upon."
"The intellectual ferment and cultural tension occurring in Hawaii, soon to be recognized abroad in the singular form of the coup d'état, reflected strains of thought that would intersect and conflict with the no less contentious and divisive dialogue occurring in America. These included the debate over race, immigration, and the recognized failure of Reconstruction; the post-Civil War critique of civil and voting rights led by Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Victoria Woodhull; the concern for post natal care, health, and social obligation at Hull House and the work of Jane Addams; and the harsh critique of capitalism and its influence on government voiced by William Jennings Bryan, Senator Richard Pettigrew of South Dakota, and the literary realists Frank Norris and Theodore Dreiser."

01 Dec 30 safety tips for Thailand – at Koh Phi Phi, Full Moon Party and Koh San Road
Posted at 12:36h in Blog 0 Comments
Everyone wants to have fun when they travel through Thailand and it is totally possible as long as you stay safe and use your common sense. Here are our top 30 safety tips for Thailand for the under 25's
Top 10 tips for Khao San Road – for the under 25's
- There is no Skytrain in this area so play it safe and take a metered taxi until you are familiar with the area
- Beware of scams. Buy onward travel and tours online or from a shop – not off the street.
- For really authentic Thai food, research the good ones in the area (Banglamphu), otherwise you are likely to end up with something substandard
- Nightclubs sometimes ask to see your passport before they let you in so keep yours with you if you intend to go clubbing
- Don't ask tuk-tuks to do wheelies……really, it's dangerous!
- Keep your wits about you late at night if you are drunk
- Even the police may not be a safe option as night turns into morning. This is one of our top safety tips for Thailand
- If you buy anything super expensive on Khao San Road – it will either be overpriced or fake
- Haggle!!!
- Kids trying to sell you anything on Khao San Road should not be there. Kids are not tourist attractions.
Top 10 tips for The Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan – for the under 25's
- Here are the things to do 2 weeks in advance: Book your accommodation, your flights or overnight bus or train. Book the ferry/speedboat to the island, book the ferry/speedboat off the island and finally book your transport to your next destination. Last minute organisation can take the fun out of the party….
- If you are staying outside of Haad Rin, negotiate taxi's early and fill it up with friends otherwise it may not leave until it is full.
- Don't take any valuables to the party
- Do your best to make pickpockets jobs as hard as possible, so have a zip on your bag and keep it on you at all times
- Have a plan if you lose your friends
- Don't start too early – the highlight is dancing until dawn
- Drink plenty of water
- Another of our top safety tips for Thailand: More than 10 people die each year at The Full Moon so don't be reckless with any aspect of your safety including swimming in the ocean, taking drugs and getting into fights
- Don't be too scared of the bucket – they are fun if shared – but the bar owner won't be tight with the alcohol content – you will get merry quickly
- Take care when playing with fire (literally) – the ropes look fun but lots of people have a nasty scar from doing that at the Full Moon Party because even a light burn heals slowly/poorly in the tropics
Top 10 tips for Koh Phi Phi Island – for the under 25's
- This island is small and there is no transport other than boats, so you will be walking everywhere. Learn the footpaths as soon as you can so you don't get lost. Top safety tip for Thailand: Remember where your room is because at 3am you might find yourself wandering around alleyways with no clue as to how to find your bed.
- If you come just after the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan you may find that there are no rooms available because this is when everyone heads to Phi Phi, but at any time of year we recommend you book your room in advance. Booking.com or HostelWorld.com have great choices.
- Getting some sleep – Lo Dalam Beach is where the main partying happens so sleeping in this area might be noisy. Long Beach is a great option if you want some peace and quiet and don't mind paying 150 baht each way to come in and out for the nightlife and shopping. Ton Sai Village is where the cheapest accommodation is plus there are some newer cheap bungalows up in the hills above the village.
- Koh Phi Offers some extreme sports like cliff jumping so make sure your insurance covers you
- Remember you are in an Asian country so:
- Don't go topless as a woman
- Don't have sex on the beach,
- Don't get into a fight with locals
- Drink spiking – Some visitors have claimed they were robbed after their bucket drinks were spiked –uhhhh, you just drank enough alcohol for a month! Taking your watch and wallet from you as you lay passed out in the sand was always going to be simple.
- Have a meeting point if you lose friends, don't think that all Thai's are your best mates, there is barely any police presence on the island, so just take good care of yourself – don't get so drunk you can't take care of yourself if left alone.
Most of all – be confident, well planned, ready to party safely – be polite, even if it is late at night even if you feel unsafe. If in doubt, walk away. Stay in a small group… wander off during the day time.

Finally back to where I started, sans *ALL* my blog entries. Holy crap this sucks! A couple of days ago I decided that I would experiment with DotNetNuke. A couple of failed install attempts later and I was asking the very helpful staff at my hosting provider to install it for me (which they did). What they also did was delete everything on my site before they did the installation!
No problem, right? Just do a quick restore from tape. Bzzzt. The daily backup for today has just overwritten the daily backup for yesterday. Ok, no problem. You have weekly backups too, right? Bzzzt. Your data is gone and there is nothing we can do about it. Crap. Yes, I know. Keep your own backups. Make that #246 on the list of things I need to do.
In any event, I've reinstalled dasBlog and reuploaded my old site. The blog has the same address so any subscriptions should still work though old links will certainly not work.
On the bright side, Jacob is doing great. He's already gained back to his birth weight at only 8 days old and is eating and sleeping tons (which helps my sleeping). Construction is also going great on the kids floor (hope to provide some pics later).

It was her mother's 91 st birthday. The family had been planning her party for months and Veronica had her bags packed and her airline ticket. She was ready to go, however, because of the virus known as COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) and the stay-home order, Governor Newsome issued on March 15th, 2020 for folks over the age of 65 as well as other "vulnerable" groups of Californians, there would be no birthday party. Later on March 19th, he issued Executive Order #N-33-20, the "Safer at Home, Stay at Home" order requiring everyone who is not an essential worker to stay home except for necessary trips out for things such as groceries, prescriptions, and required medical appointments.
I interviewed people over the age of 65 who live alone regarding how they are managing during this time of forced isolation. Most were women, widows and several were men. Here are their answers and the issues they struggle with during this time. Ninety percent of respondents stated they are staying at home at least 90% of the time, only going out for essentials, and all are using masks when in public. Most of them revealed they are doing these errands by themselves because there is no one near enough to them to help out. One person cannot go out at all because her car needs repairs, but the repair shop cannot get the parts.
In order to stay socially connected, most are communicating often with family and friends using phone calls, texting, Facebook or Facebook Messenger. Several are attending online church gatherings via Zoom. Some of the things they most regret missing out on are dining out, travel, attending graduation ceremonies and birthday celebrations. One missed the opening day of the MLB season, a once in a lifetime opportunity for her.
Several said they miss volunteering and like most of us, they all said they miss seeing their families and friends in person. Some miss their "church family" and have a difficult time on Sundays because this is normally their day to visit with others. Most are staying busy and maintaining a positive attitude, puttering around in their gardens as well as walking pets, praying, meditating, and doing long put off household projects. One-fifth of people questioned were working at least part-time prior to the stay-home order and all of those have either been laid off or terminated from their positions. None have yet received any assistance by way of unemployment benefits.
About a fifth of respondents say their retirement or investment portfolios have dropped by about 20-30% and more than 70% say they are paying at least half as much more for groceries than they normally do, mainly because they cannot get items that they generally use and replacements are more expensive. Necessary doctor visits have been accomplished for the most part via video chat. One respondent was issued a citation and violation warning by the County for some items that she has in her carport, placed and kept there after her home was flooded from the
March rains, but said she is unable to move these things by herself and there is no one she can call for help in doing so. Several said what they miss the most is their freedom to come and go as and when they please, and several miss their "peace of mind."
Don't we all?

Until I Am Dust
written by: LadyLily
A pretender human being, ashamed,
purple dye pumps my body,
backbone creaks.
My fault for being born…
Ghostly shadows sing strange ways.
He jerked my body,
no trace of his poison inside me.
Dark blasted grape vines,
lightening splits the corn.
A bag full of harsh memories
kept under my bed,
never forgotten.
His looks spray me with Voodoo ash,
a mission for a filthy ego.
I will not cry, but the child who watches does…
She pities me.
Splash myself with caramel water,
the reek of his flesh sticks to my eyelids.
Birthed, the light vanished,
my cord slashed…
Someone washed my greyed form,
I screamed as rough hands scraped my skin.
This day arrows were fired,
the pulse of life streaked with ghosts.
Stagnant air followed,
dawn arrived, suddenly stolen…
Daisies refused to open their white palms,
mountains speared clouds,
cranes spiked charcoal cumulus.
In a rare vein of sanity, I looked and listened.
Cut one's flesh,
a sometime release from the Master cyclone,
rope swinging, will anyone notice?
Sup Belladonna, vomit…
Will I become someone?
Mother may I catch your eye?
…or dance with you on iced paths.
I'm here chopping wood, waiting,
waiting for you.
Looking. Looking for you.
Foam oozes from my lips.
Just to touch you…
Your throbbing womb delivered a human.
You cannot trace me to something else.
I drift through shifts of time,
endeavouring to sing and dance
until I am dust.

Using Your Card for Rewards
Using the Preferred Loyalty card is easy and rewarding. Cardholders earn cash back rewards when presenting their card at checkout so clerks can record the sale of the item/product(s) purchased. These rewards are in straight $.$$ currency (no complicated points) and can be redeemed on future sales as if you were spending real cash. For example, if the issuing merchant offers 10% cash back rewards and you spend $30.00 and present your card at checkout, your account will be credited with $30.00 x 10% = $3.00 cash reward. Just inform the clerk when you are ready to redeem your rewards so the value can be deducted from your bill. Each transaction receipt processed through the terminal will show your current balances. Your card is not redeemable for cash and no change will be given for unused value by the issuing merchant. You can, however, save up your rewards and use them anytime. There are no fees or hidden games with Preferred Loyalty so feel free to build your rewards card balance as high as possible and then go wild on the house!
Using the Card as a Gift Card
Your card can also be used as a traditional gift card. There are always two balances on your printed receipt, a Gift Balance and a Reward Balance. When using your card to pay for goods and services, your Gift Balance is withdrawn first followed by your Rewards Balance. Many merchants offer additional reward incentives when loading gift or items on your card in advance so ask the clerk about any gift card specials or rewards incentives available when loading money on the card.
Using the Card for Fundraising
In addition to the rewards and gift card capabilities described above, the card also supports fundraising to help raise money for your charitable organization. Just use the card exactly as described above and your charitable organization automatically accrues donations after every sale processed at checkout while you personally earn cash back rewards. Most merchants donate back between 5% and 10% of all sales from card usage back to your non-profit organization throughout the year to thank your organization for its patronage. If you received your card directly from a non-profit organization then you already have fundraising enabled. If you're unsure if your card supports fundraising, simply login to your account online to find out. If not, ask your merchant how your card can be used to benefit your local cause or organization.

Women and men of all ages and from several continents descended on the Marriot Hotel and Conference Centre in Naperville IL for a week of fun and quilting experiences. This is the second such cocoon in the USA and I'm certain there will be more very soon.
There is something to say about an event that has four top Tutors teaching their own Quilting Genre. The students each spend a day in the class and the rooms were opened each night for extra sewing thanks to the generosity of the sewing machine facilitator Scott of Sew and Vac in Florida. We had brand new top of the line machines which made it very easy for the Tutors and students alike. Each Tutor generally has a custom designed class where the project teaches you their specialty. Of course you will do more when you get home, but the secret is to learn something different from the person who has designed that amazing quilting technique.
The hotel was a great venue, and it has some of the best classrooms I've ever used. The classes are kept small so that each student get individual attention.
These old metal cases added a nice touch to the decoration of the sitting room… I love the idea and I'm taking it home with me.
Each lunch time one of the Tutors gave a small presentation.
Pepper Cory, excited us with her beautiful vintage quilts and their modern counterparts at the first lunch lecture.
Then it was Mark Sherman's turn and he made us smile with the story of his honest journey on his way to becoming one of our best Male Quilters. His quilts are stunning.
Bonnie Hunter shared her quilts and the quilts of previous classes in her lecture. They were just beautiful. I didn't take the camera down on that day sadly, but she has them up on her blog.
This is some of the work of one of my dear ladies.
Dinners, time on your own and camaraderie with other students. Tutors spent down time with their students over drinks and dinners and several people said it was a life changing event.
"I didn't think I could do that" said many students and yet… they all went home enthused.
One evening function was a silent auction and this signed piece from Pepper reached a grand figure after some desperate bidding.
And the winner was happy.
Kaye England overheard one of the students mention that she was a Vietnam vet.
The wheels sprang into motion and in just a few hours a Quilt of Valor was on its way with Rita Pennington, who is the Land of Lincoln coordinator for Quilts of Valor here in Illinois.
Rosemary Dawes was the recipient and there wasn't a dry eye in the house as she was surprised during one of our evening events. I made a small video and I'm happy for you to share it with other vets and indeed your quilting community.
So there you are. I didn't do a blog while I was there, to be honest, it was such a spectacular event I wanted to wait and do it justice.
I hope you enjoy the journey with us and join us on the next

Rambagh Palace
The capital of the state of Rajasthan, Jaipur, also know as the Pink City, is full of life, color, and culture. The history of Rajasthan is filled with tales of love and gallantry. In 1835, the Rambagh Palace of Jaipur was erected for the queen's favorite handmaid. Nearly a century later, it was converted into a palace for the Maharaja, and the lovely structure is often endearingly called the Jewel of Jaipur.
The royal family opened the palace as a luxury hotel in 1957, and in 1972, the Taj Group took over, naming it the Taj Rambagh Palace; it remains the crown jewel of the Taj line of hotels. The Jaipur Rambagh Palace offers palatial rooms and suites, relaxing spa experiences, fine dining, recreational facilities, and tour services along with their impeccable service and hospitality.
Rambagh Palace Hotel offers stately accommodations designed with comfort and history in mind. From the Palace Rooms to the Grand Presidential Suites, guests will experience history at its finest and most refined moments. Each room has been carefully restored to its original glory with rich furnishings and magnificent artwork. The larger suites feature drawing rooms and dining rooms in addition to a bedroom and bath, while the smaller rooms feature the same spectacular views. Guests will relish the royal splendor of the Jaipur Rambagh Palace.
Among the recreational facilities at the Rambagh Palace, the Jiva Grande Spa features ancient Indian tradition combined with modern therapy, making for the ultimate royalty experience with time-honored treatments, wraps, and body scrubs. For those seeking a more active pastime, the Taj Rambagh Palace offers a multitude of amenities and facilities, such as yoga sessions, a fitness center, and sporting activities, including croquet, miniature golf, table tennis, and polo, the royal game of choice at the Rambagh Palace during its heyday. The Taj Rambagh Palace also offers tours and excursions in and around the city, so be sure to inquire about these special packages. Jaipur is a stop on the famed Golden Triangle tours, which also include New Delhi and Agra, and thus there is plenty to see here.
A royal palace is never without ample of food and drink for its guests, and so it holds true with the Taj Rambagh Palace in Jaipur. There is an abundance of restaurants at this hotel, including the Verandah, which offers al fresco dining near the gardens and fountains; the Rajput Room, ideal for breakfast and lunch; and the grand dining hall, Suvarna Mahal, where you will find an excellent selection of cuisine once eaten by the royalty of this area, classical music, and vintage wine. The Polo Bar, featuring Polo memorabilia, and Steam, a Mediterranean style lounge, are the two nightlife locations at the palace. The palace will also cater to guests anywhere throughout the grounds on your request, including your own private tent or in the outside seating area surrounded by flaming torches.
The Jaipur Rambagh Palace allows guests to experience the fine living of Indian royalty. This palace offers up the finest accommodations for its guests, and a multitude of amenities and activities. Tourists and visitors should book in advance and learn about current promotions and packages at the hotel to ensure a safe and enjoyable vacation. Regardless, they are sure to have an unforgettable trip to India with a stay in this hotel; it is truly the Jewel of Jaipur.

Aim of the game:
Help your child to learn to follow instructions with this simple, fun, find and seek game. Understanding words, sentences and instructions is key to talking and learning and being able to follow instructions is particularly important for when children start school. This simple game can give you information about your child's level of understanding and can help them to develop their skills in a fun way.
What you will need:
This game can be played with pretty much any toys from around your home but for the first few times you play this game it's best to stick to the same toys to help your child become familiar with the game. Some suggestions that we like to use are given below:
A teddy
A doll
A cup
A spoon
An apple (toy or real)
How to play:
- Sit opposite your child so you are face to face
- Introduce your items one at a time to your child to make sure they know the vocabulary. We like to put our toys in a bag to build up anticipation so your child can take them out one at a time.
- Lay out 3 or 4 of the toys at first (e.g. teddy, cup, spoon and apple)
- The aim is for your child to find the items you say, so start off with a simple instruction such as "Find Teddy". If your child correctly finds teddy give lots of praise (e.g. "teddy! You found teddy, good listening").
NB: It's really helpful to specific with praise. This helps your child to learn exactly what they have done well so they can learn to do it again. If they've followed an instruction well we like to say "good listening" or, if they've said a word well we like "good talking"
- If they don't find the item first time that's ok we are teaching them a new skill. Simply repeat the instruction again and if you need to show them what to do (e.g. "teddy… there's teddy… I found teddy").
- This game is great as you can slowly build up your expectation on your child's skills and help them to follow longer and longer instructions. Try a few more times to see if they can "Find the cup" and "Find the apple" then you can think about increasing the difficulty a little.
NB: Be mindful of the clues you give your child when saying the instruction. We naturally want to help our children and often give away subtle clues such as looking at the item or gesturing towards it. If your child is struggling to find the item then these things can help but if you want them to practice following just the spoken instruction then try not to give anything away.
How to extend:
- When a child is finding one item, they are having to make just one choice to correctly follow your instruction (e.g. "Find teddy"). The next level is to ask them to make two choices to follow the instruction and there are many ways you can do this:
- Two choices with just objects – lay out more objects and ask your child to find you two items (e.g. "Find the cup and the spoon"). Make sure you don't break the instruction down into two or give any clues as this will decrease the difficulty.
- Two choices with people – this time you could ask your child to give the item to someone or something (e.g. "give the apple to mummy" or "give the cup to teddy")
- Two choices with action words – try introducing actions with a teddy and a dolly (e.g. "brush teddy" or make dolly sleep").
- If your child is older (2 1/2 – 3 years) then you could even try asking your child to make 3 choices. Here are some ways you can do this:
- Three choices with just objects – lay out about 6 objects and ask your child "find the apple, teddy and spoon".
- Three choices with people – this time ask your child to give two items to someone or something (e.g. "give teddy the apple and spoon" or "give teddy and dolly to mummy").
- Three choices with action words – you will need some extra props for this such as a box, blanket or toy/real furniture. This time ask your child to carry out an action in a location (e.g. "make teddy jump on the box" and "make dolly sleep on the blanket").
- Three choices with location words – again you will need additional props but will just need teddy and dolly for this as you're going to ask your child to choose between teddy or dolly, a position word (in, on or under) and an object (e.g. "put teddy under the bed", "put dolly on the box").
You can be really silly with this one by asking your child to use the toys and objets in ways they wouldn't normally thing of. A child will use their world knowledge to help them follow instructions (e.g. will naturally put items 'in' a bag' or 'on' at chair) so make sure they're really listening to the instruction by getting them to do something out of the ordinary (e.g. 'under' the bed or chair)
- You can play these games out and about as well. Ask your child to find items in the supermarket or in the park.
- When your child is little older let them be the one giving the instruction to you – you can have fun with this pretending to get things wrong to see if they notice.
- Introduce another person to help your child to learn to take turns and wait a little longer (e.g. a brother, sister, another adult or friend).

Paul Ryan Twitter Goof a Fundraising Boon for Democratic Challenger
Randy "Iron Stache" Bryce has raised more than $150,000 since tweet
In the always-raging spin war between Democrats and Republicans, Democratic candidate Randy Bryce got the upper hand over the weekend on House Speaker Paul D. Ryan.
Bryce captured a screenshot of one of Ryan's tweets and turned it around into a fundraising drive for his campaign to unseat the speaker in Wisconsin's 1st District.
Ryan tweeted Saturday about a public high school secretary in Pennsylvania who said her $1.50 pay raise each week would "more than cover her Costco membership for the year."
Before Ryan deleted the tweet, Bryce took a screenshot. He then asked his followers to "chip in $1.50 now to help us repeal and replace Ryan permanently this November."
Moments ago, @PRyan deleted this tweet after we told him just how out of touch he was. Show Paul Ryan what you think of his tax bill. Chip in $1.50 now to help us repeal and replace Ryan permanently this November.https://t.co/c3Fii4Q0Jn
— Randy Bryce (@IronStache) February 3, 2018
In the 48 hours since he initiated the drive, Bryce has raised more than $150,000 from 12,253 donors across all 50 states, his campaign team said in a press release. Nearly half donated $1.50 to his campaign.
Ryan isn't the only politician whose own words have been used against him in messaging battles over the tax code overhaul passed in December.
Republicans have repeatedly hammered House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California for saying the $1,000 bonuses millions of Americans received after the tax overhaul became law were "crumbs" compared to "the bonus that corporate America received."
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise's office has published at least a dozen press releases ribbing Pelosi's "crumbs" comment.
President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence also had some fun with the phrase.
"If you're going to say $1,000 is crumbs, you live in a different world than I live in," Pence said last week at the Republican congressional retreat. "Any leader in America that would say $1,000 in the pockets of working families is crumbs is out of touch with the American people."
Bryce raised nearly $2.7 million in 2017, a huge sum for a challenger in an off-year before midterms, per his FEC files. But that was just a fourth of the $10.1 million Ryan raised.
Bryce, a former ironworker widely known on social media as "Iron Stache" for his bushy, brown lip hair, faces steep odds in a red district like Wisconsin's 1st.
Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates the race Solid Republican.Correction 12:50 p.m. | Paul Ryan did not meet the secretary he cited in his deleted tweet, as an earlier version of this story reported.

Learning Astrology & the Transits!
The Best Books on Astrology
There are thousands of books available on astrology. Some mini-books on astrology are sold in supermarket checkout lanes. Others are sold in book stores. But most of the books that you see while out on your daily errands are some of the worst books on astrology that you can waste your money on.
These so-called books on astrology are often no more than horoscopes, based on nothing more than sun signs. Some of these books claim to help you with your relationships, while only providing sun sign information. Astrology actually encompasses many factors into your astrological readings, and the sun sign is one small factor of many.
The best books on astrology are those that teach you how to plot your own astrological chart and readings. These books on astrology are the best way to learn how astrology affects your life and teach you how to apply that knowledge to better your life. Below you will find some of the best books on astrology.
The Only Astrology Book You'll Ever Need by Joanna Martine Woolfolk is a great place to start learning about astrology. This book gives you an overview of the various sun signs, as well as other factors such as the moon, your ascendant, and the houses. Additionally, this book on astrology provides extensive charts by birth date to help you create your own personal astrological chart and readings.
Using the information you gathered and the charts you created in the last book on astrology, you can use this next book to predict your future using astrology. This book is called Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark and is written by Bernadette Brady. This book will help you understand the predictive nature of the planets and houses. Using this information and your astrological birth chart you can easily predict your future using astrology.
You can take this information and apply it to your daily life using the book Financial Astrology by David Williams. This is one of the best books on astrology that actually explains how to use real astrological principles to better an area of your life. This book provides astrological data for past major financial events, as well as outlines how to use real astrological data to predict future financial opportunities and windfalls.
Another of the best books on astrology that can teach you how to interpret real horoscopes is called Aspects in Astrology: A Guide to Understanding Planetary Relationships in the Horoscope by Sue Tompkins. This book explains why newspaper and magazine horoscopes are rarely accurate for most people. Sue Tompkins also arms you with information and charts about how the planets affect your sun sign. Armed with this information you can interpret mundane horoscopes to actually fit your astrological chart, and use them to your benefit.
If, after reading the above books, you are still a little fuzzy as to what the various aspects of an astrological chart are and how they affect you, this is the book for you. The Complete Book of Astrology by Ada Aubin and June Rifkin provides the best explanations of sun signs, houses, planets, planetary movements, the moon, and other aspects of astrology that affect your life.
The Basics of Astrology
To be put quite simply, astrology is the study of the stars. The stars as referred to in astrology refer to the planets, the sun, and the moon. Astrology has been used throughout history as a form of entertainment, a part of religion, and a part of daily life.
Astrology begins with the mapping of the planets, including the sun and the moon. This map is called an astrological chart. Most often an astrological chart is designed for someone at birth. To determine the position of the planets, sun, and moon for an astrological chart the astrologist needs to know the exact location of the birth, the exact time, and the date of the birth.
The planets found on the astrological chart are the Sun, the moon, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, Mercury, and Pluto. The earth is not considered because it is the point in the universe from which we view the other planets. The sun and moon are considered planets in astrology, which is hard for some people to remember.
In the astrological chart consists of twelve houses. Each house represents an aspect of life, such as romance, career, family, etc. Since there are only ten planets, each astrological chart will have two vacant houses. Vacant houses represent aspects of life which, for whatever reason, the cosmos do not feel you need to work on. In other words, you may have mastered this aspect of life in another life or realm.
The position of the sun also determines your sun sign. This is the first aspect of astrology studied on the astrological chart. Next, the positions of the planets are studied in relation to their influence on the sun sign. Finally, the moon sign and position is studied in relation to the rest of the astrological chart.
The interpretation of an astrological birth chart as a whole will paint the picture of the original personality of the individual. The birth chart found through astrology later in life may not appear accurate. This is due to the fact that other astrological phenomena in conjunction with life events alter the personality over time.
Astrology is the study of this astrological chart, as well as the prediction of the future based on how other astrological phenomena might influence the original readings. The interpretation of the astrological chart is also a large part of the art of astrology, and is necessary for accurate predictions.
The use of astrology in predictions is considered an art for a reason. Not only must the astrology expert interpret the birth chart and the current astrological phenomena, but the astrology expert must also interpret any astrological phenomena that may have altered the personality of the individual over time. Amazingly, life changing events can often be seen using astrology readings from the time of the event.
Many major events in history can also be marked by astrology readings. For example, the fall of the Roman Empire was marked by astrological phenomena. The horror of 9/11 and the destruction of the twin towers was also awaited by those who study astrology. Even the birth of Christ was marked by astrological phenomena.
Aspects of Astrology
There are many aspects of astrology that are not often considered by those who do not actually study the subject. Most people think that astrology consists of sun signs. However, there are many other aspects of astrology that must be considered for the art to be truly accurate and useful.
The Planets
There are ten planets studied in astrology. The number ten is arrived by adding the sun and the moon. The earth is not counted, because our perspective is from the earth. Each planet influences both the sun sign and the house in which it resides in the astrological chart.
Each planet represents the influence that it holds over the sun sign and the house in which it rules. Saturn, for example, represents the limitations of man. Jupiter represents leadership and prosperity. The other planets have their own representations and influences.
Planetary movements and alignments are also very important in astrology. Various planetary alignments and movements can indicate extreme influences over all aspects of our lives. For example, when Mars is in retrograde, conflicts will be more dominant in our lives.
The Houses
There are twelve houses in the Zodiac, or astrological chart. Each house represents an aspect of our lives such as romance, career, finances, or family. The houses are very important in the interpretation of astrology. The house in which a planet resides shows what influences will be held over that aspect of our life.
Because there are twelve houses but only ten planets, each astrological chart will have two vacant houses. These vacant houses represent areas of the life that are unimportant in this life. It is believed that either you have been successful in that aspect of your life in another life, or other aspects of life are in more immediate need of attention than those represented by the vacant houses.
The Signs
The Zodiac sun signs are the most common aspect of astrology. There are twelve sun signs, based, roughly, on the months of the year. Each sun sign rules for approximately twenty eight days.
The twelve signs of the Zodiac are well known to most people. They include Capricorn, Sagittarius, Aquarius, Scorpio, Gemini, Libra, Leo, and Ares, among others. The sun signs are most often used to create typical horoscopes.
The Moon Signs
The moon also has twelve signs that are used in the interpretation of astrology, as well as the phases of the moon that are commonly known. The twelve signs of the moon are named after the twelve signs of the sun. The sun & moon are very important when reading an astrology chart!
Astrology Terms
Astrology may or may not be "science," depending on who you ask. But, one similarity it does bear to science is a large collection of terms. Natal charts and horoscopes can be as simple as "your sun sign is Gemini." Or, they can be extremely complex, taking into account exactly where and when the individual was born, where each of the planets, sun, and moon were positioned at that moment, and then measuring how each of those bodies related to each other.
The starting point of any astrology work is the Sun Sign. This is one of the twelve signs of the Zodiac, and is the constellation the Sun was passing through when the person was born.
A Horoscope, as far as the public is concerned, is that little nugget of advice printed with their sign in the newspaper. But the full Horoscope as designed by the astrologer is more than that. It's a complete map of the planets with regards to the constellations and each other. It's your blue-print in this life time!
Once the planets have been mapped, then their Aspects can be measured. The Aspect is the measure of the angle formed by drawing lines between the planets. The two most important Aspects are the Conjunction (which is a very small measure, less than ten degrees), and the Opposition (a very large measure, nearly 180 degrees).
The Houses are equivalent to the signs of the Zodiac, but they're also dedicated to certain aspects of the person's life. One House is devoted to finances, another to health, for example.
Each planet orbits the sun at a different speed. Mercury, right next to the sun, races around it in a matter of weeks, while Pluto plods along in an orbit that takes centuries. Occasionally, the Earth will pass a planet, and it will seem to be "moving backwards." Think of riding a fast train while passing a slow moving one--the slower train will appear to be backing up, even though it's moving forward. This optical illusion is called Retrograde, and these periods of backwards motion show up in horoscopes and action.

By Steve Newton
You've gotta think pretty highly of yourself to issue a five-disc box set when you've only got two albums to your name, but that's what teenage Aussie grunge-rockers Silverchair have done with this limited-edition import, The Freak Box. Even more bizarre, though, is the likelihood that the band's rabid, mostly female fans—like the ones who almost delimbed singer-guitarist Daniel Johns during last year's Foxfest appearance—will lap this one up. What do they care if it only contains 14 songs? (I guess the big draw is the fact that 10 of them are "non-album bonus tracks", as the promo sticker boasts.)
Just as attractive to Silverchair fanatics as the Nirvana-like music here is the interactive CD-ROM that's included. A total techno-clod myself, I decided to step right into the computer age and try CD-ROM for the first time, and it was really cool! You point and click all over this sideshow setting and curtains part to reveal the Silverkids rocking out in mini-videos and sitting on a couch, chatting about their tunes. As if that doesn't get fans close enough to the essence of the band, one of the discs is a 17-minute interview that boasts questions like "Do you get heaps of detentions?" and answers like "Nuhh…not really. None at all really."
I for one am relieved that the Silverchair members aren't of the delinquent ilk, because my 16-year-old niece is obsessed with them—they're a big part of the reason she wants to move to Australia next year. She cried tears of joy and could hardly catch her breath when I gave her an advance promo cassette of Freak Show last Christmas, so I'll be attaining godlike status when I unload The Freak Box on her this yuletide.
I just hope she survives the unwrapping.
