Post World War 2 Babies
Baby boomers were born during the post World War II baby boom, between the years 1946 and 1964. This includes people who are now between 54 and 72 years old in 2016. This generation is an entirely different one to market to than any other - being more conservative and with hard lined opinions ingrained on their decades of experience in life.
This generation is not shy to tell you their opinion, research (to death) what they may be purchasing and is certainly more tech savvy than they are given credit by their children for being. In this blog, Hollywood Branded takes a deeper look at how to market your brand to the Baby Boomer generation, and the actors and musicians they favor.
Who IS The Baby Boomer Generation?
According to history.com "More babies were born in 1946 than ever before: 3.4 million, 20 percent more than in 1945. This was the beginning of the so-called "baby boom." In 1947, another 3.8 million babies were born; 3.9 million were born in 1952; and more than 4 million were born every year from 1954 until 1964, when the boom finally tapered off. By then, there were 76.4 million "baby boomers" in the United States. They made up almost 40 percent of the nation's population."
This is the group that grew up with "The Mickey Mouse Club", saw the advent of bandstand and Rock 'n Roll - including poodle skirts, and fell in love with Elvis Presley and later screamed for The Beatles. And they became massive consumer buyers - more than making up for what their conservati
ve and more wallet-tight war-worn parents didn't spend.
This is also the group that marched for equal rights, fighting for political, social and economic equality for any disadvantaged group, race or gender. Martin Luther King. Anti-war in Vietnam. And the hippie movement began - and ended with this generation.
Today, the aging baby boomer has more disposable income than any other generation. And for all of their independence, they are finding that their millennial aged children and grand children are not leaving the nest. And while they are aging and becoming a secondary market, they are still GREAT for brands to market to. Take a look at another of our blogs on how to use product placement with the Baby Boomer generation.
Baby Boomer Facts - Senior Citizens Need Not Apply These Guys Have Energy
Here are some great facts about Baby Boomers from Senior Advisor and a Google survey.
- 78% of Baby Boomers love the internet, with 1/3 of them calling themselves "heavy internet users".
- 10 million Baby Boomers are foreign-born - which means marketing to them typically takes a slighty more conservative financial edge.
- They are smart. Which means savvy. And the internet they love helps them stay connected and be even more savvy and aware.
- They LOVE research. Trust us. We've seen a Baby Boomer mom spend three weeks researching the perfect washer and dryer - including Consumer Reports and trips to Sears, Best Buy, Home Depot and who knows where else. They have the time to spend and the inclination to make sure what they are buying is a good deal.
- High pressure sales work. Think Timeshare tactics. There is a reason the Baby Boomer is the #1 time share purchaser. Again we know this from personal experience.
- 79% like store brands just as much as name brands - there is that economically conservative to consider. So you need to prove why a name brand means "better."
- 59% of boomer parents financially support adult children aged 18 to 39.
Actors Who Are Baby Boomers
- Jerry Seinfeld
- George Clooney
- Bill Murray
Musicans Who Are Baby Boomers
- Stevie Nicks
- Natalie Cole
- Bruce Sprinsteen
So Want To Engage The Baby Boomer Even More?
Don't make the mistake and discredit this group. In fact, read our blog on why that would be a giant mistake to make.

If you use the right music to market to your specific consumer, you will naturally develop an automatic and powerful connection that goes back to their youth and memories of happiness. Each generation has a different sound, a different beat that drives them still to this day, despite the years that might have passed. Many of these artists may still be performing and available as marketing options beyond music licensing, including music video integration, celebrity appearances at events, tour sponsorship or lyric verbal mentions. Watch our video to learn which music appeals to each generation!

The Tufftrax comes from Saracen's 'Sports' rather than 'Trail' range, and its geometry and suspension create obvious 'soft roader' limits. But neat details and decent ride quality make it enjoyable on less gnarly trails.
- Best mountain bike: how to choose the right one for you
- Mountain bike groupsets: everything you need to know
Saracen sell its bikes through 'proper' bike shops, which adds another layer of cost compared to buying direct from a superstore. You wouldn't know that from the Tufftrax frame though.
The 44mm head tube means it'll take a tapered fork, making future upgrading easier. There's a quick-release clamp for the seatpost, with a brass bearing surface so the lever stays smooth. The skinny 27.2mm diameter of the seatpost also allows it to flex more than thicker posts for a bit of under-seat 'suspension'.
Because the gear cables run 'naked' (without outer hoses) for most of their length, shifting is lighter in action and less likely to be compromised by grit and grime. The post-mount rear brake fixture is easy to adjust to stop pad rub, and there are two bottle mounts (although that does stop you slamming the seat down for descents). Four-point rack mounts are provided out back.
The frame shape is conventional rather than confidence enhancing, with a relatively short top tube and 440mm of reach on the large size.
Saracen Tufftrax Comp Disc kit
Selling through shops and investing in the frame puts Saracen at a disadvantage in terms of kit spend. The Suntour XCM fork doesn't have any rebound adjustment but its 30mm legs make it stiffer than the XCT. That means it works slightly better under load and you could upgrade to a 185mm front disc to increase the stopping power of the basic Shimano brakes.
Saracen has fitted the latest Shimano Altus M2000 shifters, which have a clean and light action. The bottom gear of the 3x9 spread allows for easier climbing, but I had more chain drop issues in extreme gears, due to the short 425mm chainstays. The Shimano crank and hub bearings are likely to last longer than most, saving you servicing costs.
The 51mm-wide WTB Nano Comp tyres have an almost continuous centre ridge tread for fast rolling, while the 32-spoke 650b wheels help to keep the Tufftrax's weight down.
Saracen Tufftrax Comp Disc ride impressions
Fast tyres on light wheels and a relatively low complete bike weight for the price give the Tufftrax a lively and responsive initial feel. This is further enhanced by the short stays and wheelbase.
The 75mm stem, 720mm bar and 69-degree head angle give a well-balanced feel and make it easy to tip the rounded tyres in and out of corners. Despite its low-volume rubber and smaller-diameter wheels, the Saracen is impressively comfy for a bike at this price. This all adds up to make it a lot of fun on less taxing trails and extend its reach further into the rad than you might expect.
While the well-balanced steering helped me get deeper into slippery, rooty terrain than I'd expected, the hard-compound, centre-ridge front tyre needs swapping for something chunkier if you're planning to play in the woods rather than just ride through them on fireroads.
Start hitting stuff harder and you'll soon thump up against the limits of the Suntour fork too. That has obvious control and comfort consequences, but at least the frame can be upgraded with a more sophisticated tapered fork.
The relatively short geometry is also an issue when it comes to stability in faster, sketchier sections, where the Tufftrax feels more nervous and pressured than some longer bikes. If your riding is milder rather than wilder, the little longevity details and lively overall ride still make the Saracen worth a look.

Some of you have remote mounted or externally mounted Micromites
How do you power them?
I am looking for ways to power my weather station when I mount the outdoor unit but I can't find any way to do it reliably
I've been using 18650 3.7V 3A (3000mAh) batteries and with 4 of them in parallell (12 amps) this will power it for around a month
I was hoping to use solar charging to recharge the batteries, and while during the summer months it did charge the batteries a bit, now in the winter months it's not getting any charge
I'm using a 25W 12V solar charger with a solar charging circuit that converts the 12V to 4.2 to charge the batteries
Any other suggestions on how to power external Micromites in conditions where the sun isn't strong enough to charge batteries?

First thing I would do is try and work out the average daily power requirement of your weather station.
If you can't do don't want to run power to the outdoor unit then power required will be needed to try and work out what can be done.

12000mAh divided by (30 days * 24 hours) = 17mA (approximately).
i'd be really surprised if your solar panel, even on a dim day, couldn't provide enough energy to keep your batteries topped up. are you 100% sure your charger circuit is working correctly? you only really need a single 18650 cell, which will rarely see more than about 10% discharge overnight given the above 17mA current consumption.
you might like to set up your solar panel at ground level, connected via the charger circuit to just a single 18650 cell. as a simulated load, use a 180 ohm resistor across the cell (4.2 volts / 180 ohm = 23mA). monitor the cell voltage and the charging current. a couple of good-old-fashioned analog multimeters are ideal for this job. i'd expect the cell voltage to ramp down from 4.2 volts slightly overnight, and then rapidly come back up to 4.2v during the first hour of sunlight in the morning.
due to the very low discharge level (10%) i'd expect a good quality LiIon cell to have a service life of quite a few years.
btw, your charging circuit is also current-limited, isn't it? LiIon requires CC as well as CV when charging.

Hi Lew,
There's quite a lot of little Li-Ion charge modules about.
I use one with a pair of 18650's to run the FARS on my Weather Station.
Some use a TP4056, specifically a charge controller, & many also have a BMS chip (Battery management system), to prevent over discharge.
Have a look at
some of these.
I've also junked a few cheap Phone Juice Banks as well for their modules & batteries.
Modules are always fine, but the batteries are generally pretty low grade.

I wanted to use some Li-Ion cells but then I saw this....
"Many battery users are unaware that consumer-grade lithium-ion batteries cannot be charged below 0°C (32°F). Although the pack appears to be charging normally, plating of metallic lithium can occur on the anode during a sub-freezing charge. This is permanent and cannot be removed with cycling. Batteries with lithium plating are more vulnerable to failure if exposed to vibration or other stressful conditions. Advanced chargers (Cadex) prevent charging Li-ion below freezing."
It got down to 6F / -14C a few days ago and we were below freezing for about 5 days. I have not found a suitable battery for cold weather other than the old lead acid.

Hi kg4pid;

I agree. Good old reliable lead acid starting batteries are the most reliable I have found for low power remote applications.
1. Use smaller size, possibly lawn tractor types.
2. Use "Wet Cell" types. Ya, the ones that have caps, that way they can be watered if needed.
3. Trickle charge continuously at 1% or 2% of the "Amp Hour Capacity", no regulation required. I like 1% for new batteries and 2% for a bit older. Again, you should check if water is needed periodically.
4. I use 12V types but 6V is also a good choice.
5. Starting wet cell batteries are generally much cheaper and lighter than deep cycle types.
I have 1 "New" battery that is 20 years old and another "Well Used" battery with 10 years. These have been very reliable.
The loads are quite low and would easily run for a couple of months before the charge would get to 90%. They have never been fully discharges.

They are genuine 3500mAh Panasonic batteries, and maybe "30" days was a little optimistic
The unit draws around 35mA when not transmitting data and around 65mA when it is.
I started off with the Solar cells going into a 5v regulator feeding a TP4056 module to charge the battery, this was working in the summer but now it gets no charge whatsoever as it's winter.
I then bought one of
THESE solar chargers
but unfortunately it's still giving no charge to the batteries, the sun doesn't seem to be strong enough in the UK during winter
This unit is only giving 1.55V to the battery to charge it which obviously isn't anywhere near enough.
The input from the Solar cells is 14.9V so plenty of voltage, I'm guessing nowhere near enough current though from the sun in this part of the world

If you have 14.9V from the solar panel and it's not charging then you have something else wrong. If the 1.55V is the voltage at the battery then your batteries are most likely bad, as that is well below the cutoff for a good battery. Were these protected cells? Were they charged below freezing? Have you checked the charging circuit?

The batteries are fine, they are new and work perfectly
I said I have 14.9V from the solar panel INTO the charging circuit and only 1.55 out of the circuit which goes down to zero when the clouds get heavy and at night.

Well why don't you have a decent charging voltage coming out?
Worst case it would be at low current but the voltage should be OK - right?

Hi Lew,
AS kg4pid said do you have any protection circuit such as
It will charge the cell to about 4.2v and cut off when the cell reaches about 2.4v. Over discharging Li ion cells will cause them to fail.
Edit. When you say you only have 1.55v from the charger is this with the cell connected. If only 1.55v with no cell then the charging circuit is faulty. Even shining a bright electric lamp on the solar cell should cause it to charge.

"When the last tree has been cut, the last river poisoned, the last fish captured, then you will discover that you cannot eat money." – Amerindian prediction.
Who would consider soya as suspicious? As a symbol of vegetarian diet, soy is usually to be associated with nature, balance, and health. So what a surprise to be told that today this legume is putting the whole Amazon rainforest in jeopardy – with potentially devastating consequences. The soybean has become one of the most consumed products, especially since the mad cow epidemic ravaged several countries. At this point in time, there is a pressing need for increasing soybean production in order to tackle demand inflation. Consequently, huge fields are commandeered for soybean cultivation. But turning the rainforest into planting fields could cause spectacular harm to the whole continent and beyond.

I've expanded my form width to 800 and would like to add an image to the right of each question.
The labels for each question have been set to "top", causing it to ignore the label width that I've set. If I move the label to the left, then the label width lworks correctly, but I need the labels on the top, not on the left.
With the label on the top, when I select "shrink", it actually unwraps the label text and expands the field horizontally instead of shrinking it.
Since I can't shrink the field to a smaller width than my form width, I can't create room to put pictures to the right of my questions.
Please advise on how to fix this.

You seem to have a long label, how about breaking the labels manually using
 tag? Example:
This is a brief quote to introduce people to your brand.
 You can talk about what makes your products or your cooking approach unique,
 or maybe your brand values. It can be whatever you want.
Or this can also be fixed using Custom CSS Injection feature. You can inject custom css codes to your form to control the width of your textarea. Let us know if you need assistance with this. Thanks!

Our Mission
The Pets for the Elderly Foundation (PFE) is a 501 (c)(3) public charity whose mission is to provide companionship to senior individuals through pet ownership, while saving the lives of companion animals in shelters; animals which might otherwise be destroyed due to lack of appropriate homes, and space limitations.
The program began in 1992 with two shelters near Cleveland, Ohio. Since then, PFE has seen great success and has grown to a nationwide program. PFE branched out nationally in 2002, and has helped successfully place over 78,000 companion animals with senior adopters.
What We Do
The Pets for the Elderly Foundation helps pay the fees to participating animal shelters throughout the United States for senior citizens (age 60 and over) who adopt a companion dog or cat from a participating shelter – including pre-adoption veterinary exams and spay/neuter, if part of the adoption fee.
Research shows the most serious disease for older persons is not cancer or heart disease – it's loneliness. Pets offer affection, unconditional love, fight loneliness, and can help ease the loss of a loved one. Please help. Your monetary donation can make a difference. Few causes can have the potential benefits that will result from your contribution – you not only save the life of an animal, you can make a dramatic difference in the life of a senior. Currently, 54 shelters in 34 states are participating in the program. With additional funding, PFE would be able to expand the program to eventually include several shelters in each of the 50 states.
We urgently need your help! Your monetary donation can make a difference. Few causes can have the potential benefits that will result from your contribution. You not only save the life of an animal, you can make a dramatic difference in the life of an elderly person.
Our Partner Shelters
To date, PFE works with 54 shelters in 34 states. Our partner shelters are committed to supporting and implementing our mission and our dedicated to saving the lives of shelter animals in their own right.
Articles & Research
While any pet owner can certainly attest to the many benefits of living with a furry friend, research confirming the health benefits of senior pet ownership have appeared in many well-respected publications and medical journals.
Studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets can increase fitness, lower stress, and bring happiness to their owners. Some of the health benefits of having a pet include: decreased blood pressure, decreased cholesterol and triglyceride levels, decreased feelings of loneliness and increased opportunities for socialization.
Our Leadership
The Pets for the Elderly Board of Trustees is comprised of leaders who personally knew Avvy Katz and understand the importance of his mission. The leadership team is committed to ensuring that Mr. Katz' legacy continues.

For more examples of harmonic charts, check the sidebar for posts titled "Subject A, Subject B, Subject C, etc."
Yay! This one will be short and sweet. The above chart is the natal chart cast in the Porphyry house system, which I prefer to use for harmonic charts. It looks exactly like the old chart, cast in the Placidus system. The Natal Chart was delineated HERE.
Eclipses, Transits, and Secondary Progressed Aspects to this chart were discussed HERE.
18th HARMONIC
Harmonics are said to be the most accurate form of prediction. They are read very differently from other charts. As harmonics go, this one is a little more complicated than I'm used to, but I'll give it a go. It represents our guy's 18th year of life.
It is so hard for me to describe what is going on in a chart when I am limited to doing it in such a linear fashion, when what I really need to help make it clear is more of a family tree.
I not only need the family tree, I need it to be 3-dimensional.
There is an order for things to look for, but this chart tends to defy rules, just like a certain young man who suffers from Uranus issues. And like Neptune on the natal ascendant, it has no clear signature. As with our guy, there is a lot going on, but it lacks clear direction.
To begin, when reading a harmonic chart, it is the closest aspect that describes an event. Because this is the 18th Harmonic, we're not looking for a single event, but at a one-year period of time. That's what all these charts have been about: zeroing in on a particular period of time in a young man's life, and so far, they've all seemed related to a "boiling over" type of event to come around the middle of May. But this...this chart has something entirely different in it, something so far out there in left field that I'm thrown off balance. This already has me on yellow alert. We'll take these aspects apart and examine them, but the really big question is In What Order? The closest aspect isn't necessarily the most urgent. It's rare, but it happens. This chart has quite a few dire aspects, and one that's so complex, it's going to take a book to explain. And then, I think I'll leave the surprise twist for the end.
A yod is a complex configuration that becomes more complicated with every factor thrown into it.
Disclaimer: Officially, a yod is created only when there are planets at each end of an aspect. Parts and points don't count. But harmonics are a different breed of chart, and there is little reason to doubt that the 18th harmonic chart has one big configuration lying right across the ascendant / descendant axis. It's going to count for something. Even if in the most lax sense of the definition you flat-out reject this as a yod configuration, there is still a sextile between Uranus and Ceres, and there are still quincunxes between each of them to the descendant.
We'll examine this one in three parts:
The Moon's Nodes, Floating Midheaven and Descendant
The yod always reminds me of three colors that don't go together.
Uranus and Ceres comprise what I shall forevermore think of as the "common sense" sextile thanks to legendary astrologer, Alice Portman, who inspired me to relearn yods altogether. I thought I understood them completely, but maybe I didn't. She says that they are "an entirely practical aspect pattern requiring common sense and flexibility in the areas activated by the planets involved." That makes common sense because quincunxes (a/k/a inconjuncts) have always been described as "a need for compromise and adjustment between the planets and houses involved." And it seems very logical that sextiles could indicate the application of common sense to a matter. They've never been as flamboyant or promised as much as trines.
Uranus is the agent of change. It is a disruptive force that is currently very active in our guy's other charts:
In the natal, it squares the midheaven (impulsive changes in goals, disruptions in career and home life, irate temper, premature actions, erratic behavior, big upsets, sudden changes in fortune).
In the progressed, it conjuncts the ascendant (fiercely independent, rebellious, disruptive, unpredictable).
By transit, it conjuncts the natal moon (change of residence, unusual events involving the mother, separation from mother, home, domestic life), and it's not even close to complete. It hasn't even made partile yet, and is already wreaking havoc on his domestic and family situation. Uranus will come within minutes of completing the conjunction to the natal moon and then turn retrograde (Rx) in mid-July. This could indicate another change of address, this one a return to a former place. Uranus will change to forward motion in mid-December and all natal, progressed, directed, return and harmonic charts should be checked then for anything that's at 8 degrees, where it makes a station, for more insight into yet another change of address. And still Uranus is not done with him. His home and domestic life will not begin to settle down until the spring of 2015.
And now, in the 18th harmonic, Uranus is part of a configuration that will play an important part in our guy's destiny. It's a very strong planet by virtue of being exalted in Scorpio and accidentally dignified in the 11th house. In addition, it's in mutual reception with Pluto, although they make no aspect to each other.
Ceres is the Roman equivalent of the Greek goddess Demeter. Remember the mother of Persephone? She is the only deity to go up against Hades and win. Or at least, draw. It is a testament to the strength of the feminine principle in general, and a mother's love, in particular. Ceres is a nurturing earth mother.
In this chart, Ceres is in Capricorn, so our guy's expectation of unconditional love from his mother is challenged, and he has to adjust to the notion that her love is indeed conditional. What she may want is for him to simply take responsibility for himself and his choices. What he hears is that if his achievements are great enough that he will win her love and approval. His own self-acceptance and confidence is now tied to whatever acquisitions he attains and can point to as being achieved through his own effort. This will be a year when he learns to equate his personal worth with his material and financial achievements, and his focus will be on how to impress others in order to gain recognition and approval. In the first house, it is related to male nurturing and fathers. It almost sounds like a male rite of passage. I know very few men who don't associate their value as a man with their ability to provide.
Uranus and Ceres are joined by the sextile aspect, and so our guy could use its highly intuitive ability to come up with original, innovative ways to do things that involve nurturing, care-taking, or adding branches to the family tree. He has to learn to trust his own intuition and follow his own gut instinct.
Some of his childhood experiences have resulted in difficulties creating emotional bonds. As the product of a broken home and one who rebels against his parents, he experiences conflict between his personal freedom and closeness to his family. That is active now, while Ceres makes a quincunx to the descendant.
Ceres is associated with the need to let go of attachments, whether emotional, physical, or spiritual. These separations are karmic lessons. The dark side of Ceres is the experience of being separated from what you believe is life-sustaining. There are feelings of abandonment and rejection. I highly recommend Asteroid Goddesses by Demetra George and Douglas Bloch.
Uranus, that frustrated planet of freedom and rebellion that's been behaving like a bull in a china shop will be involved in intense confrontations and separations that will have a profound effect on our guy's life. He has to compromise, adjust and bend to the will of someone represented by the descendant. These events will teach him awareness and give him a different perspective. But it will likely be at the School of Hard Knocks and will not be pleasant.
THE FLOATING MIDHEAVEN indicates the area of life where the events of the harmonic energies are centered. Understanding the floating midheaven is something I still struggle with. When I look at a death chart and the fMC isn't in the 4th, 8th or 12th, or at a wedding chart and the fMC isn't in the 7th or 10th, I get flustered. I especially get peeved if there's not enough information provided to understand its relationship to the house where it was posited by the Big Clockwork in the Sky.
In this case, the floating MC (technically) is in the 6th house (health, nutrition, small animals, duty, service, obligation, employment, routine). This is the house of the Daily Grind, the work we are required to do to pay our way in life, the duties, service and obligations we must give, the care and feeding of animals, and our own health and nutrition. These are the basic non-glorified jobs we must perform on our way to the Great Career and Life Path indicated by our midheaven.
While technically the fMC is in the 6th house, it is only one degree from the descendant - a conjunction- and so an important goal (fMC) will be connected to one relationship in particular (DSC), or other relationships in general. The descendant is not only the cusp of the house of marriage and business partners, but also any "Others" who are not ourself. The ascendant is "I"; the descendant is "Not I. Someone else." Sometimes "the Others" are opponents, such as plaintiffs and defendants or other contestants.
Whichever kind of relationship this is, it is connected to both Nodes of the Moon, (timing indicators, turning points, karmic ties, family matters). By both nodes being conjunct, there is unfinished business from the past that is tightly interwoven with the future, like a braid, or a knot that must be straightened, and which must be resolved not before going forward, but by going forward. If you are a believer in reincarnation, you can see how this is not the first lifetime in which this lesson has been offered. It is a repeat class for those who still need to work on it.
Being in this position greatly intensifies the power of the descendant and the importance of the person represented by it. It suggests major changes and adjustments between the people or circumstances described by Uranus, Ceres, and the mystery person known as "Other."
Like the fMC, technically, the moon's nodes are in the 6th house, but should also be read as a conjunction to the descendant. Being angular, they are particularly strong, and they are timing energies involving the 7th house of relationships, where there is both a past and a future karmic connection to the person or situation represented there. It indicates a powerful time in the life.
One thing that bothers me about it is that the descendant is often aspected at the end of life. Symbolically, it is where the sun sets. It's probably no big deal because we all have aspects to our descendants all the time. If it meant certain death, we'd all be gone by the middle of next week.
So, yod or not, the configuration lying across the ascendant / descendant axis is intense and calls for common sense and flexibility. It has to power to transform the life.
Key phrases for this aspect might be: emotional manipulation, compulsive behavior, internal demons, emotional confrontations, and power struggles.
Pluto is in the 2nd house of money and possessions. That's what these behaviors are about.
Certain harmonic-teaching astrologers refer to Pluto as "the destroyer," and say that it brings sex, death, crime and destruction wherever it goes. Of course, we all have it in our chart somewhere, and it could just as easily be referred to as something less sinister, like "the transformer." In this chart, it rules over the 12th house of things that are secret and clandestine, and will somehow involve 12th house matters (clandestine meetings, secrets, isolation, confinement, solitude, institutions, hospitals, zoos). It is a place of endings and one of the houses of endings.
The moon is in Scorpio, so there is a woman, or maybe emotional or sexual issues surrounding women, or a possible sex partner because she rules the 8th house of sex, rape, crime, surgery, and other people's money, who occupies the 11th house of friends, groups and associations.
She can bring emotional issues, domestic matters, family matters and emotional disturbances to the surface. In fact, she can dip deeply into the well of past slights and hurts for material to rehash. This is the stage for the emotional welling (and wailing and gnashing of teeth).
This can also be the house of hopes, wishes and aspirations, and the house of sudden unexpected and accidental events.
One or more of these things will play a role in events. Don't forget this is one of the houses of endings. Three, and you're out. Not really, but they count.
And then we come to Mars guy (young, brash, hot-tempered, impatient) going head-to-head with Saturn (mature, patient, conservative, authority figure, father). This is like rowing against the tide. Everything our guy does this year will be harder and require more labor and more practice and patience.
Key phrases for this aspect could be: Frustrated apprentice, racing with the brakes on, burning rubber, stop go stop go, self-doubt, inadequacy, lacking in necessary skills, humiliation, steely anger, discouragement, confrontation.
Here we are, back at Mars anger and action around the home. He usually rules the 4th house; now he's in it. He's also in the sign of Aries, where he rules. He brings assertion, effort, and determination. Anger is unleashed on the family. If he's going to bang around the house this much, maybe he should use a hammer. Notice how this repeats the natal aspect of the moon in Aries in the 4th house.
In this chart, Mars rules the 5th house (children, creativity, risks and pleasures) and some of these topics will be brought into events when Mars is activated.
Mars also co-rules the 12th house, so there may also be clandestine elements, secrets, isolation, confinement, solitude, institutions, hospitals, or zoos. This is the third house of endings (the others being the 4th and 8th).
Again, think of the square aspect as an action verb that describes mood swings between depression and determination.
Saturn is equally as strong in his own sign, Capricorn, as Mars is in Aries. Lord Capricorn is an authority figure, and Mars doesn't like him. Mars sees him as old, parsimonious, dull and the keeper of the bank keys because he is Lord over the 2nd house of money. With Saturn found in the 1st house (personality, physical body, first impressions), our guy may try to appear older or more experienced than he is. But haven't we all done that?
And now, the surprise twist:
To begin, when reading a harmonic chart, it is the closest aspect that describes an event. Because this is the 18th Harmonic, we're not looking for a single event, but at a one-year period of time. That's what all these charts have been about: zeroing in on a particular period of time in a young man's life, and so far, they've all seemed related to a "boiling over" type of event to come around the middle of May. But this...this chart has something entirely different in it, something so far out there in left field that I'm thrown off balance.
All I can do is interpret it as I see it, and hopefully later, learn how it turned out. So here goes.
The closest aspect is (drumroll please)
I know, right?
It's an easy flow of spiritual power. Or maybe mystical powers. Or clairvoyant ability. Prophetic dreams? Healing power? I don't know, maybe he is picking up radio waves in his dental fillings, but he's tuned into something somewhere. This is a combination of vision (Neptune) and destiny (Pluto) and gives the ability to use a psychic gift for the benefit of humanity. Discovering compassion and empathy inside himself, he tries to spread tolerance and oneness with the universe among his peers. He believes in justice for all (backed by Uranus liberty and Neptune idealism on the ascendant) and suddenly abhors violence and H8. He may become vegan because it's bad karma to degrade, oppress, kill or eat another living thing. He has also decided he is against the use of animals for testing. Huh? Where did this come from? There is more.
Whenever the outer planets are engaged in a long-term dance together, the interpretations are always going to include the "effects on the masses," or "the values of a generation" type descriptions because the aspect can stay in effect for months or years. But this is not that type of chart, and nowhere in the current transits are Neptune and Pluto in trine to each other, and certainly not by minutes from exact. The best the current planets offer is a very wide sextile between the two. So if the the "#mystical and esoteric" are trending Tweets among his followers, I do not know, but there is surely an interest in them from our guy, along with theories of life-after-death, reincarnation, hypnosis, regression, and channeling. Maybe it's not completely out of character considering all the Scorpio and 8th house influences in this chart, but only just awakening? Is this going to be the subject of our guy's fame and fortune - death, life after death, reincarnation, or channeling? His Jupiter and Pluto (Great and Powerful) are in the sign of Scorpio, the "dark side."
I hate to be this way, but I am highly suspicious of this aspect. Usually, I mean in the normal course of the universe, most of the time, ordinarily, the prerequisite to becoming an overnight spiritual avatar is an interest in the uh...spiritual. This feels more like a spell. Or a cult. I guess it could be love. I do sort of remember that feeling of being at one with the universe when in the throes of passion. It's just that I would think that there would have been some sign of a swimming lesson before jumping into the deep end of the holy water.
Now I can relate it to the Neptune transit over the natal Saturn, the martyr syndrome, the "involuntary detachment" (now the question is from what? The rational mind?) and the"killer fog." This does not seem like the same person with the hair-trigger temper and the Martian tendency to go to battle. So what is going on here?
One other interesting thing that stood out in this chart is the Arabic Part of Death conjunct the Vertex = a date with destiny at the ascendant (you, here, now). I thought the second time I saw this that everyone must have an Arabic Part of Death very close to the ascendant. I rarely look at Parts. I think when I tried to apply them to a reading, they didn't work that well, and that's why my disinterest. So I did a quick check, and no, as a matter of fact, most people do not have a Part of Death conjunct the ascendant. As I said, I "never" use them, and don't seem very good with them. Yet, I happen to know that one little fact about this particular chart. That might mean something, but I don't know what.
18th Harmonic to the Natal
When we place the 18th Harmonic around the natal chart, we get more information.
The ascending degree on the 18th Harmonic and the ascending degree on the natal chart are only a few degrees apart. The Harmonic ascendant, vertex, and Arabic Part of Death are all conjunct the natal ascendant. That is a little freaky.
Harmonic Pluto (destroyer) is opposed to natal Mars in the 8th house, ruler of the 4th house (home, mom, family, domestic matters, endings) and they both square the natal sun, ruler of the 8th house (sex, death, reincarnation, money). The Harmonic moon is four degrees before a conjunction to the natal sun. Too wide an orb to count.
The yod that we looked at extensively in the previous chart is still pretty much in the same place, with just a slight increase in separation. The double nodes at the descendant (with the floating midheaven, remember?) are now trine to the natal midheaven, linking our guy to community and family, being in public, being "seen," publicity, or making the news.
There are two other things I see worth mentioning.
One is the Harmonic Mars conjunct the natal moon. Here is that natal moon in Aries theme yet again. Is it unresolved rage against women in general and maybe his mother in particular? Is it a tendency to act out at home? Is he a pyromaniac? Unless he's involved in the home improvement business, I really don't like seeing this much Mars in the home life.
Poor moon. It's not enough that Mars wreaks violence on it in the 3rd house of communication, transportation and the rational mind, but it's also being battered by Harmonic Saturn. It's Saturn that forms the ring of ice crystals around the moon and turns emotions cold. Our guy is probably lonely and feels isolated, and with Mars conjunct the moon, Mom is a handy scapegoat for all those hurt feelings. This feels like a confrontation because Saturn rules the ascendant, the moon rules the descendant, and Mars rules the IC.
18. 50553
When I followed the clues of the eclipses and discovered May 17th to be the day that our guy, who has Mars issues, will potentially have a very big Mars problem, I cast a Harmonic for that specific day to see what I would find.
This is interesting. At least, to me.
Mars, the planet we've been watching all this time is besieged by Saturn and Pluto. That strips Mars of nearly all his power. He can no longer act on his own. He is the ruler of the 12th house of things that are secret, and places of confinement like hospitals and jails. And those who besiege him appear to be escorting him. Three conjunct planets are noteworthy, but not particularly special. Except when it's these three. And the order they're in. And though they are a lot to digest, they still aren't the closest aspect, which is what we're supposed to be looking for.
The closest aspect is The Moon Quincunx Uranus
The moon is in Scorpio in the 7th house (relationships, sexual relationships, business partnerships dealing in goods from the 8th house Short List). It's the ruler of the 3rd house (transportation, communication, rational mind, siblings).
Uranus, the planet of freedom, is in the 12th house of hiding. That's an odd place for it to be when it lights up the Midheaven like a Christmas tree.
There's a need for compromise and adjustment between a relationship and a change in status, reputation, or direction in life.
With Uranus in the 12th house (confinement, institutions, hospitals), he's hiding his light under a bushel (do people still know what that means?) He needs to use common sense and stay flexible. Which sounds like a prescription already. Take two aspirin and call me in the morning. Kidding aside, I'm blind on the partnership question, but the moon to the Uranus quincunx might do something like bring a hidden relationship out into the open.
I'm just now thinking that the quincunx aspect might translate most simply to "deal with it."
Splat. In your face. Now adjust. Compromise. Stay flexible. Think about more quincunx aspects that you know of, and see if the energy between the planets and situations between the houses was one of "deal with it." Leave comments; let me know.
Another configuration in the 18. 50553 Harmonic chart are the moon's nodes forming a T-Square with Jupiter in the 12th house of things hidden or confined. It's not quite the traditional T-square, as Jupiter isn't at the apex as would be expected. Nevertheless, it's the only one to provide many details. It's the ruler of the 8th house of sex, death, crime and money. The south node (a malefic) is on the cusp of the 3rd house of transportation.
18. 50553 to the Natal
The chart above is the 18.50553 Harmonic chart around the natal wheel. This is a busy chart, so in order to make some sense of it, I'll begin with the angles, where planets are strongest, and where three out of the four have conjunctions.
The midheaven (career, reputation, honor/dishonor, fame/infamy, the spotlights and highlights of life) gets a conjunction from the north node of the moon. This is favorable. This is a timing indicator that seems to show a change in direction or turning point in the life. Family is likely to be involved. But on a deeper look, we see that it is a little tarnished by Jupiter in the 3rd (gossip, hearsay, innuendo) and not liked nor supported by a partner or relationship represented by the south node in the 7th. This is not favorable.
The next angular planet is Saturn conjunct the descendant. The descendant is associated with the sunset of life. To have Saturn in this position does not seem favorable, although it depends on several other factors like the Saturn Cycle of Career Success and whether one is contemplating marriage or suicide. It's the ruler of the Capricorn ascendant, and it's opposing its own home. That's like turning its back on itself. The besieged Mars and Pluto are also in the 6th house of health, routine, obligations and duty to others. This is not favorable.
Finally, we have Uranus on the cusp of the 4th house. You have to know this one by
heart by now. Come on and sing it if you know the words: home, mom, family, domestic matters, endings. Uranus does things quickly, suddenly, without warning, unpredictably, surprisingly. It looks like a disruption, a big change, a sudden end. This is the area of life where our guy has to stay flexible and make adjustments. The harmonic sun conjuncts the natal Saturn, ruler of the ascendant. The sun is the ruler of the 8th house.
CONFIRMATION - OR NOT?This reading began with the realization that transiting Neptune was conjunct our guy's natal Saturn. It was an Oh, no! What's that doing there? moment. Then there was the progressed new moon and new beginnings but rough starts. Uranus transiting the natal moon in the 4th house brought a change of residence. We know that our guy has a volatile temper because he has a very fiery Mars square his sun, and the moon in Aries in the 4th house. As he gets older, I would warn that he will never be monogamous and domestic violence is a likely possibility. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, so I leave it to the family to answer that. Following eclipses in a series of charts for our guy, we discovered the upcoming solar eclipse will square his volatile Mars and oppose his sun, the rulers of the 4th and 8th houses. Then it's transiting Mars square natal Mars, which is almost always a time of conflict.
We have data for other family members, so I'll see how their charts look on the day in May for which all the other charts have been read. I did this early on when the question first came up. And I saw something odd that caught my attention and I knew I had to see where it led.
Here is the Harmonic chart for my client, the mother of our guy with Mars issues cast for the day when it looks as if her son might go a little postal:
And here is the Harmonic chart for our guy's sister on the same day.
Do you notice anything interesting about them? Take another look. Even someone who doesn't know his own sun sign can find the two things that are alike.
This is what got me: Both of them have Harmonic Mars conjunct their ascendant on the same day. Mars, as you know, and if you don't, you have not been reading this, is physical energy that when badly aspected, can be angry, aggressive, hostile, and physically violent. The ascendant means the physical body and personality, and as a timing device, means "You. Here. Now."
So we have three family members who all live distantly from each other. One with anger management issues, and two who suddenly, on the same day, have anger issues hovering around their ascendants. I don't know about you, but I wonder what that means.
I see something else interesting here, but am not at liberty to say without permission from the chart owners. Maybe at a later date...
The Harmonic charts are interesting, and compared to the natal charts, they are even more interesting, but I have to stop sometime. Charts are like cats. One just leads to another.

Blackcoin Opportbronze Fund Llc: The Affluence Network: Fast Moving Business Minded Indviduals Needed
Thank you so much for coming to us in search of "Blackcoin Opportbronze Fund Llc" online. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it is worth noting that the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This option also creates a stable flow of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the reward. In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be dealt like a product. Promoters of cryptocurrencies say that this sort of virtual income isn't governed by way of a fundamental banking system and it is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted quantity of products, this moneyis importance is founded on market forces, letting owners to deal over cryptocurrency trades. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is only a representation of worth, but there's no actual palpable type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal limitations enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: as a result of nature of the method in which it is transacted. All deals over a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. After you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything short-term where your visitors may dispute or need a concessions, or use unethical sleight of hand. In-practice, most merchants could be a good idea to make use of a payment processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto-currency orders, you should make sure that stability is difficult. With any kind of crypto-currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially get access to your private secrets and therefore take your cash. However, you probably can never get it back. It's quite crucial for you to undertake some excellent secure and safe practices when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may protect you from all of these unfavorable activities. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers contend that there is "real" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some sort of wages so that you can ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which can be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions resides.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be just that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It is also possible the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act.

You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! Viewers incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) The creation of websites has changed many lives, but there is always a concern as it pertains to the security of websites. There are other people with ill intentions who will see what you're doing online. They can monitor your trends with time. Some of the things they can check online contain seeing your on-line photographs, what you post online and even track your fiscal transitions over time with an intent of stealing from you. Even if there are many solutions which have been implemented, there is always risk due to third parties. For instance, when purchasing online using a credit card, you are going to be giving away a lot of your personal info to the third party. There are also transaction fees which make online payment expensive. It's certainly possible, but it must be able to recognize opportunities irrespective of market conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be okay. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making enormous ammonts of money with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on quite profitable business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. It should be challenging to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having modest increases is more lucrative than trying to resist up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Secondly, there's more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that never have made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz.

For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to understand how the process works in and of itself, but it's essentially crucial that you understand that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can just choose to print endless numbers (I 'm not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that may result in business being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. Many individuals choose to use a currency deflation, particularly people who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal privacy, for instance, is great for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living pay check to pay check, it'd take place as part of your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. You have probably heard this many times where you usually distribute the good word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What goes on if the cost crashes? " to date, many POS devices delivers free conversion of fiat, relieving some worry, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people will soon be unwilling to put up any. We need to discover a way to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. If you are looking for Blackcoin Opportbronze Fund Llc, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Blackcoin Opportbronze Fund Llc: The Affluence Network: The Future of Digital Finance
Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it is a fact that one can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, some of those websites you're demanded fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have rather poor liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a fair investment strategy. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also be a part of more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain always leaves public evidence that a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all existing bitcoins. This scenario isn't to suggest that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is no requirement for big amounts of money to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest events in the world market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and confirm these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to get transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.

Hey loves…how are you doing?
Just some work-style inspiration for y'all. I wanted to "toughen" up the pink shirt, so I opted for a masculine watch, half-tucked my shirt and rolled my sleeves up a notch. I was gunning for a look that is both powerful and feminine at the same time; what do you think?:D
Would you wear this to work? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. 🙂
Thank you for reading my post.

RSPCA Herefordshire Branch
Registered Charity: 223364
To report cases of cruelty, or animals that are injured or suffering, please call the
24-hour Cruelty and Advice Line on 0300 1234 999
Website of the RSPCA Herefordshire Branch
We work in Hereford and throughout the county to further the same animal welfare aims as the national organisation, (Please note: we are not in a similarly named county just north of London!).
Click here to download a leaflet about the Branch and what we do.
Ted and Jenny are two of the longest serving and most committed trustees of RSPCA Herefordshire Branch. They have a combined service of more than 30 years between them, and various trustee roles under their belt, including those of Treasurer, Branch Secretary and Chairman. Also, along the way, they have adopted animals from the branch; see the picture of their beloved Beaver in the background. They have decided that the time is right for them to step down from committee work for the RSPCA and enjoy a well-earned retirement. All of us at Hereford Branch thank them for their efforts and wish them both the very best with lots of happy holidays. What follows now is the task of filling their shoes. We will have vacancies in the near future for both Treasurer and Branch Secretary. Ted and Jenny have both agreed to help their successors, so, if you have some time to spare on your hands and a passion for animals, and would like to find out more about these roles, or any other vacancies we have, please get in touch.
We benefitted by more than £1,640 from the Co-op Local Community Fund, so on behalf of the animals we help, many thanks to the Co-op and all the customers who chose us as their local cause.
Want to buy something for your pet, or as a gift, and help us as well? If you go to the RSPCA Online Shop by clicking on this button, you will find a fabulous selection of items and ALL PROFIT comes to us in the Branch to help local animals.
|If you are interested in adopting or fostering a pet, please click here.
|If you are interested in helping us by volunteering, donating, sponsoring an animal, etc, please click here.
The Branch is run entirely by volunteers and its main role is finding new homes for domestic pets, especially those rescued by RSPCA Inspectors and other field staff. We also help people with vets' bills.
In 2016, we re-homed 42 dogs, 82 cats and 44 other animals, mainly rabbits and birds. We ran a neutering scheme that helped over 100 animals. In addition, we helped with treatment costs for almost 40 cats, dogs and rabbits owned by the public.
Running the Branch costs about £85,000 every year (£1,600 each week) and we rely entirely on donations and legacies for this. We also depend heavily on volunteer effort.
The RSPCA Inspectors and Animal Welfare Officers are part of the national organisation, not our Branch, but they are active in Herefordshire too. In a typical recent year, they responded to over 1,500 calls in Herefordshire, involving almost 3,000 animals.
Over 500 of the calls were complaints about suspected ill treatment or suffering of nearly 1,600 animals, including over 500 dogs, almost 500 farm animals, almost 200 cats and over 150 horses. The other calls were about animals who were lost, injured or needed to be rescued. Most of these were wildlife, but also included cats, dogs, farm animals, etc.

Does your service department suffer from the following symptoms:
- Incomplete or sloppy service tickets
- Low service ticket revenue
- Customers who feel the need to shop the Internet after the diagnostic
Yes, but what do you do about it?
You train your technicians but you are still not achieving uniform results. You talk with other owners and they have the same issues, so you resign yourself to live with it. After all, you don't receive that many customer complaints about it. Not so fast. Let's examine this issue in a little more detail.
Let's take the example of a service tech who went out on a no cooling call and found a bad capacitor. After replacing it, he wrote the words "25 MFD Cap Bad" in the area of the ticket detailing the work performed. Then he showed the price of the capacitor at $118 and labor at $69 for a total ticket invoice $187. What might your customer do? They might just get on the Internet and surf for 25 MFD Cap and correctly determine that a capacitor was replaced – only to discover that a 25 MFD capacitor can be purchased online for about five dollars. Now they're hot! Obviously, they don't understand your cost of doing business so what do they do? Call you and complain? Probably not. In all likelihood, they simply stop using your services and tell everyone they know that your company is a ripoff. Studies show that a satisfied customer will tell 2-3 people about their experience with your company, but a dissatisfied customer will tell 8-10 people about their experience. The odds are not in your favor. And the worst part about it? You have no idea it's going on!
So what is the solution? Consider Call Smart.
What is that, you ask? Call Smart is a revolutionary point of sale, mobile system from Callahan Roach Business Solutions that runs on both Droid and iPad. It features a unique and secure logon for each tech, and is customizable, utilizing your graphics and information.
Stay tuned for more blog posts on this subject. In the meantime, take some time to go through recent invoices generated by your service technicians to see if you are fully satisfied – or if you think there is a better way to go.

Plain old jelly or jelly and custard? And what about the sprinkles?

Today's gardens are a modern 'reconstruction' of those laid out by monks in the 17th century, but that's a detail: the spirit of the place pervades them as, I like to dream, it has always done. They are beautiful; there is a potager with fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers; an orchard; a vineyard; a scent garden; a maze; a shady terrace of pleached plane trees. Depending on the season, different parts of the garden shine. In autumn, the trees hang low with Normandy apples and the vines drip with grapes. As I wander through them all, I hum with contentment - rather like a bee! In the enclosed scent garden, to one side of the abbey, the perfume held on the still air is intoxicating. There is a sublime fragrance I can't identify. I think it is a variety of 'sarcococca', a sweet box It is as potent as incense from a censer.
|La Vierge à l'enfant by Jean-Marc de Pas
L'Abbaye St. Georges is in the village of St. Martin de Boscherville. It's a stone's throw from Rouen and a practical place to stop en route to and from the Channel tunnel. Right next to the abbey is an excellent bed and breakfast, Les Hostises de Boscherville, which meets more earthly needs. It's like a boutique hotel but with a friendly family atmosphere. The beds are super comfortable, the food is home-made with local produce and there is Normandy cider to go with it.
From every room is a picture postcard view of the abbey and when, at 7am, the first bells of the day call you from bed to look out, you may find the abbey rising up out of a magical mist that has risen silently from the Seine overnight.

This morning big snowflakes were falling for a while. Following that little bit of inclement weather, the sun came out and has been shining ever since. I poked my head outside in order to shake my red kitchen rugs; and although the temperature is a bit chilly, the birds were singing so joyfully. It did my heart good to hear them and to just stand in the sunshine for a moment. God is very good. I am quite certain a long walk in the sunshine is in store for me today.

Cunning Construction?
At other times, something pops up straight away...such as the Japanese lamp on page 82 in the first edition Alan Peter's must have book, 'Cabinet Making, the Professional Approach'.
We need another lamp in the lounge and SWIMBO was rather taken with the photo in the book, but at the top of the frame on each corner is a construction that looks like my pic, where the rails have been extended by 40mm or so.
This was a practice piece, but if you can work out how it was made, you can have a week's membership, free and gratis, to this Blog...now there's an offer you won't receive every day!
Don't have nightmares!...

Both the center post and the "spokes" are square, and are equal in thickness. The center post has four opposing cubic mortises (one on each corner), with each dimension of the mortise being 1/3 the width of the post, leaving an infill centered on each face, and equal in volume to the two adjacent mortices on that face. Each "spoke" has a cubic un-shouldered (lapped) tenon on its edge that is equal to the dimensions of the mortise with which it will mate.

Walter Shaub, the outgoing director of the Office of Government Ethics, told MSNBC Friday the ethics program in the White House under President Donald Trump was a "very serious disappointment," The Hill reported Friday.
Shaub, a career employee with the agency who was appointed director by former President Barack Obama, announced Thursday he was resigning from the position.
Shaub answered, "Well, no," when asked if top White House officials and the president were free of conflicts of interest, but maintained that he only had "really good things to say about the ethics program that President [George W.] Bush ran and the ethics program that President Obama ran."
"We've received very little information about what the individuals in the White House do on a day-to-day basis for a living. They've negotiated ethics agreements with them and they've refused to even let the Office of Government Ethics so much as see those ethics agreements," Shaub said.
"We've asked for information, and it's like pulling teeth. Weeks go by before we get answers in many cases," he added. "And, after I issued a data call for all of the waivers and authorizations that had been issued at the end of April, they refused for over a month to answer any questions from my staff as to whether any individuals had received waivers, because they were still deciding whether they were gonna comply with that data call."
Shaub will officially step down from his position on July 19, his resignation letter stated.

might be a party? Would it be prudent to allow convicts to act as jurymen? Would their admission satisfy free settlers? Would not their exclusion, etc., be considered as an invidious mark placed upon the convicts, and be at variance with the great principle upon which the institution itself is founded?
These are questions which it will be very desirable should be well weighed, and on which I shall be happy to have your opinion.
The proposed alterations in the Court of Judicature need not wait for this solution. On the contrary it may be perhaps desirable that alterations in so important a part of the internal policy should be gradually introduced.
The attention of His Majesty's Government has in the next place been directed to those restrictions which it may be proper to impose upon the authority of the Governor, and on this point they so far concur with the opinion expressed by the Committee as to consider the powers with which he is at present invested of granting real or conditional pardons as unnecessary and in some instances extremely inconvenient. The manner in which you have exercised this branch of your authority sufficiently evinces your opinion of the very great discretion with which it should be used; and I have therefore the less hesitation in discontinuing a power which, at the same time that it is liable to great abuse, is not necessary to the good government of the colony. It is however by no means intended to withhold altogether this mode of encouraging the convicts to endeavour by good conduct to ameliorate their condition. . . .
To the recommendation which the Committee have made of assisting the Governor by a Council, His Majesty's Government feel no disposition to accede. The difficulty of selecting proper persons for the situation of members of the Council; the dissensions and disputes to which their opposition to the Governor, or their protest against his conduct, must give rise; the parties which would thence arise in the colony, the length of time during which the public tranquillity would be interrupted before a communication could be received from home; the danger of weakening the higher authorities in a society composed of such discordant materials, are all causes which have more or less influenced the determination of His Majesty's Government to leave the Governor unfettered by a Council. . . .
...The question respecting the validity of the Governor's Proclamation is more important than the former, in proportion as the____________________

|The Great Dipper Constellation
The chart below shows its last 2 of such dips. Are we expecting the start of the next dip? Such dip provides great buying (or shorting) opportunity.
|AAPL weekly stock chart from 2012 to 2017
(Click chart to enlarge)
Apple share have been showing bearish divergences in all 3 technical indicators since Feb 2017 (see chart below). Would this divergence finally play out to cause the share to start its next dip? The last time this happened, it broke down from the 14-month rising channel (marked by light purple colour) that sustained from Apr 2014 to Jun 2015.
If we're breaking down from the current 12-month rising channel that sustained from Oct 2016 to Sep 2017, the technical argument would be stronger for the start of such stellar Great Dip.
The 2012-2013 correction led to 44% price drop for 7 months, and the 2015-2016 correction led to 30% price drop for 12 months.

Chart as of 20 Sep 2017

Will keep an eye on price action and let it, and it alone, to decide the Great Dipper thesis.
Of course, you can have the scenario where the prices break down from this rising channel, but then comes back into the channel, and only to form double or trip tops (the handle of the Great Dipper) like it did the last time. Likewise, prices could go up a little bit more before breaking down from this rising channel. Will see.
