Learn natal astrology and dive deeper into your birth chart
Astrology is best approached from the ground up. For much of astrology's history, by the time an astrologer used natal or birth chart techniques they were already skilled in event chart interpretation and prediction; they could successfully divine answers from horary charts and select helpful moments to begin new undertakings. Most astrologers also knew about natural medicine and humoral theory. An apprentice astrologer would develop and master these skills before broaching natal astrology, ensuring they were capable of diving into the depths that birth or natal chart analysis deserves.
Nowadays, the overwhelming majority of those of us who use astrology begin with nativities (that is, studying birth charts). Today, birth or natal chart astrology is often seen as the most accessible branch of astrology. That isn't to imply it's the easiest. The truth is that natal astrology is one of the more advanced divisions of astrology, which could easily take you a lifetime to master.
Natal astrology might feel so accessible because you have a personal entry point. Your moment of birth, and its corresponding birth or natal chart, maps out the dominant celestial themes that you will experience throughout your life.
From where I sit, the ideal way to start studying astrology is the same way it was done centuries ago: by starting with the simpler techniques, like horary and elections, before advancing to the more complex divisions of astrology, like natal and mundane. It's like studying mathematics — algebra before calculus.
But everyone's path is different and, if you're a budding astrologer who has focus and drive, beautiful natal work can be crafted without experience in the more elementary branches. Sometimes you just need a few ideas for how to dive in. My advice? Start with the Ascendant and rely on the houses.
The power of the Ascendant
I know it's common to start interpreting a chart with the Sun and then move on to the Moon. I think this can set you up for disappointment. The real power of a horoscope comes through the Ascendant. It's through the rising sign that you take shape and form on all levels: physically, emotionally, mentally.
In this article, I'll use an example of someone born under an Aries rising sign, or Aries Ascendant, to show this approach in action.
Aries is a cardinal fire sign. Cardinal signs are the initiators of the zodiac — as the seasons begin with them — and bring quick action and change. Fire brings inspiration, heat, passion. The combination of cardinal plus fire gives Aries its qualities of boldness and a yearning to lead or occupy frontlines. Aries has a quick temper and a penchant for rash decision-making, with a naïve, child-like approach to problem-solving. Mars is the ruler of Aries and they share similar qualities.
The planet who rules the sign on the cusp of a given house is the accidental significator of the affairs of that house.
With Aries rising, this person will likely demonstrate and reflect these qualities on every level. Aries rising can give sharp features in the face, beady but burning eyes, a lean and sturdy build, hair that glints slightly red, perhaps even a name that is connected to Aries symbolism like Mark (meaning "consecrated to the god Mars" or "to be warlike") or Erica (meaning "powerful ruler"). There is often a scar or burn on the forehead, possibly from youth, since Aries is connected to the youthful season of spring.
Behaviourally, Aries rising can be quite daring and aggressive, always ready for what's next but struggling to preserve what has already been started. Aries isn't the greatest at negotiation and certainly doesn't shy away from conflict.
This combination of Aries on the ascendant can give you a lot of information, but you must develop your profile further. You can do this by exploring the condition and placement of Mars in the birth or natal chart. As the planetary ruler of Aries, Mars will be the principal significator — a planetary body that signifies something else, describing it in physical and psychological ways — for anyone with Aries (or Scorpio) rising. This principal significator shows you in your own chart.
If Aries rises and Mars is placed in a fiery sign at birth, that enhances the fire-like flavour of the birth or natal chart. If Mars is in an air sign, the focus of all that fiery energy may manifest in the realm of ideas and active thought, like through lively discussion with peers and superiors. The placement of Mars further shapes your understanding of how this person expresses Aries energy.
Natural vs accidental signification
In modern practice, it's common to look at a chart as a blueprint to the whole person, such that every planet has equal strength to say something about the individual. For instance, Mars describes initiative, passion, sex drive; Venus, one's sensual nature; Saturn, the attitude toward responsibility and structure. To a certain extent, this is true. Each person reflects the predominating natural causes that were actively stirring at the time of birth, and astrology is one tool that measures that.
But this approach means you run into the issue of a natural or universal significator versus accidental signification. Mars universally governs those things under his purview, such as initiative, passion and sex drive. Venus universally governs sensuality. Saturn universally governs responsibility.
Start with the Ascendant, and rely on the houses.
When you rely on natural or universal significators, all you can derive from charts are vague generalities and woolly abstractions that leave everyone at the table feeling a little disappointed.
To get to the particulars that will really "wow", you need to operate through accidental significators. To do this, use the houses to locate where certain energies are being expressed. This is what makes a chart for someone born at noon very different from someone born even an hour later — the degrees on house cusps have changed, often the signs on the house cusps themselves have changed and planets will have shifted houses.
Getting specific: 4th and 5th houses
In our example, with Aries rising, it's likely that Cancer will be on the 4th House cusp. The ruler of Cancer is the Moon. In this case, the Moon will signify 4th House things. She will certainly have something general to say about the individual but, more importantly, she will say something very specific about the native's father because fathers belong to the 4th House.1
Continuing on, our Aries rising individual will likely have Leo on the 5th House cusp, a sign ruled by the Sun. The Sun has universal rulership over your heroic drive and will give a general sense of the mind and motives of the individual.
In a more tangible sense, the Sun also provides specific insights regarding this person's children (or child, more likely, because Leo is a sign that tends to give one or no children), what is done for leisure and entertainment and, in relevant cases, may even indicate a penchant for ambassadorships or diplomacy, as these are all 5th House topics.
Planets and people
Now, if you had approached this birth or natal chart the way modern textbooks suggest you should, you would've jumped straight to the Sun and Moon to describe your client. In doing so, you would have entirely missed that the luminaries — in this person's birth or natal chart — have more concrete things to say about other people in the native's life.
Remember, the planet who rules the sign on the cusp of a given house is the accidental significator of the affairs of that house. To determine this person's relationship to any area of their life, you can look at the relationship between the significators — the ruling planets of the houses — involved.
2nd House and money
Following our example, Mars rules the Ascendant and is the person's primary significator. Let's assume that Venus rules the 2nd House of Finances as Taurus is on its cusp.
If you find Venus and Mars to be in some happy aspect, like a sextile or trine, you can reasonably presume that this individual experiences easy cashflow. This is enhanced if Venus applies to Mars because then the 2nd ruler of personal assets, Venus, is moving toward your client's significator, Mars. It's as if money comes to them!
But, if Venus and Mars are in a tense aspect and both retrograde, as with Mars chasing after Venus backwards through the zodiac, then you have an indication of excessive delays in the acquisition of wealth — and possibly even squandering of money.
People in positions of power: 10th House
If I wanted to understand how this person handled authority figures, I might look to how Mars is positioned in relation to the Sun or Saturn (planets that generally signify authority).
Truthfully, I'd be more interested in how Mars (the ruler of the person and 1st House in this example) interacts with the 10th ruler, because the 10th House has associations with power and authority. Let's say Saturn rules the midheaven. If Mars and Saturn are in tense aspect, it indicates tense relationships with authority figures. If they are in a relaxed aspect, some degree of comradery, trust and cooperation is more likely.
The ruling planet of the Ascendant
You'd then modify your observations based on the sign and house the planets are in. You'll notice an inherent magnetism to and from things related to whatever house the Ascendant ruler is in.
If, in our example, Mars, ruling the 1st House, is placed in the 2nd, the individual may focus a lot on money and acquiring wealth. If Mars is instead in the 5th House, Mars/this person may enjoy more carnal pursuits: sex, gambling and speculation, eating and drinking and so on. If Mars is in the 9th House, Mars/this person may find comfort in the heat that is generated by passionate study and learning, specialising in a field and aiming to be a pioneer in both thought and action.
Planet and sign pairings
How the planet — the one ruling the house in question — does these things will be shown by the sign that planet is placed in. If our Aries rising client has Mars in the 3rd House, they may be argumentative or seek debates for pleasure.
Let's get more specific with the how. This person could have Mars in the 3rd House in either Taurus or Cancer. These are not signs well suited to Mars and, as a result, Mars — the individual — will have difficulty expressing his virtue, or the unadulterated expression of his quality, efficiently or effectively. There may not be a strong grasp on how to control his anger or frustration, and so debates that could have been engaging and illuminating become overwrought and temper-raising.
If, however, Mars was placed in Gemini in the 3rd House, some of that destructive tendency would fade away because Mars is (for lack of a better term) neutrally placed in Gemini. This individual may be cross with their words from time to time, but may also pose questions and ideas that stimulate the mind and lead to creative, previously unexplored solutions.
The expression of aspects
The same exercise is employed when examining how an aspect functions. Let's return to the part where we assumed Mars was the principal significator and Saturn (as ruler of the 10th House) the significator of authority figures. Let's also assume that Mars is in trine to this Saturn, an aspect which indicates an easy flow of energy between the two planets. How do you determine whether this association with Saturn benefits Mars (your client) or brings trouble and disappointment?
Remember that a trine aspect alone does not indicate a healthy connection. The Titanic sank on a trine of the Moon to Mars, and the ill-fated ship slipped to the bottom of the sea without much hesitation.
The power of a trine is in its ease and slack — it will only promise good and helpful things if the condition of the planet involved is healthy. That is determined by several factors, like the planet's phase and by aspects it makes to other planets. First, though, you must determine condition by the sign and house placements of the planets involved.
Say that Saturn, who would rule and represent authorities in life when it's the 10th House ruler, is placed in the 7th House of Partnerships and Relationships. It's possible that your client will experience both romantic and business partners as quite authoritative.
The real power of a horoscope comes through the Ascendant. It's through the rising sign that you take shape and form on all levels: physically, emotionally, mentally.
In such a case, it's possible that Saturn will be in Libra (since Aries is rising). Saturn is exalted in Libra and so shows solemn people who have earned their wisdom, people with high standards and a tendency to tackle problems with justice and fairness as the barometers. Mars in trine to this Saturn, for the most part, benefits by the association.2
In an alternate version of this example, Saturn might still rule the 10th but this time be placed in Leo, in the 5th House of Children. Saturn has no significant relationship to Leo and even regards Leo as enemy territory. Saturn in Leo in the 5th House is liable to produce children who are "untoward", as some of the older texts say. This could mean difficult, obstinate, masters of disobedience, or children who have a long-term relationship with the word "no".
As Saturn rules the 10th House of Authority, an appropriate interpretation could be that this individual either exacerbates defiance or tries to neutralise it using force that establishes dominance. This type of a trine from Mars to Saturn would be far less beneficial, and may magnify issues of control across generations.
Birth or natal chart interpretation questions
You might find these questions helpful to get you thinking about how to interpret a chart:
- What topic am I curious about?
- What house does it belong to?
- What planet rules the sign on the cusp of that house?
- What sign and house is that planet in? How well can that planet express its own virtue?
- What phase is that planet in?
- What aspects does it form?
- Are the planets it aspects rulers of helpful or difficult houses?
- How do these considerations, when taken together, create a dynamic story describing the native's experience of that topic?
With the above approach, you now have the ability to access great detail about a person's relationship to their children or their attitude toward death, or even explore their sibling's relationships with the parents. Generalities take a back seat to the unique situation of an individual's birth or natal chart.
In many ways, astrology is that simple. As the great 17th-century English astrologer William Lilly once said about this exact approach, "The whole natural key to all astrology rests in the words preceding [being] rightly understood."
Your principal significator
|If your Ascendant or rising sign is…
|Your principal significator is…
|The Sun
|The Moon
|Gemini or Virgo
|Taurus or Libra
|Aries or Scorpio
|Sagittarius or Pisces
|Capricorn or Aquarius
The houses and their topics
|You, your life and vitality
|Moveable possessions, financial resources
|Short journeys, communication, local community
|Hidden matters, ancestral lineage, the father
|Children and procreation, recreation, sport
|Illness and servitude, employees and tenants
|Those to whom you are engaged, whether in love or war
|Death, anxiety, loss, legacies of the deceased
|Philosophy and religion, mysticism, long journeys
|Success and glory, fulfilment of purpose, vocation
|Benefactors and friends, hopes, places of mending
|Loss, depression, slavery, hidden enemies
- In modern texts, the 4th House is often given to the mother. This is an invention of the past few centuries and has no basis in any part of our astrological history. The 4th House speaks to parents generally, and the father specifically.
- I say "for the most part" because Saturn is in Libra, a sign in which Mars stumbles and struggles. Though Saturn is well placed in Libra and represents a very dignified expression of Saturn energy, Mars' trine to Saturn still requires Mars to trade and engage in an element (namely, the sign Libra) that is foreign to him. This can be awkward and disenchanting at times but, on the whole, this aspect should beget some gratifying circumstances.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Rebecca, our friend Jen, and I flew to Seattle. We were greeted by our friend Jami Scott who was not expecting Jen…surprise! We arrived at Jami's apartment and were introduced to Jami's partner, Chris. We dropped our bags and headed down to Seattle's tallest building, Columbia Center, at 287m. Jami told us we were quite lucky to have such a clear day considering Seattle's typical winter weather and we shouldn't miss the opportunity to visit the Sky View Observatory on the 73rd floor. Compared to the Space Needle it's less crowded, almost twice the height, and half the price of admission. From there we went back up to Jami's neighborhood of Capitol Hill and enjoyed a nice lunch of local Columbia Valley sauvignon blanc, pacific coast oysters and clam chowder. After lunch, we met Jen's friend, Shazar, who had just flown in from Calgary to join us for the NYE celebrations.
Jami had our New Year's Eve all planned out for us. A friend of hers recently opened a restaurant called Bounty Kitchen and we enjoyed a delicious set menu. She had also arranged tickets for an Amy Schumer stand-up show at Key Arena and we all had a good laugh. The arena let out near the Space Needle so we walked through the park taking in the atmosphere. We soon caught an uber cab back to the apartment and rang in the New Year watching the fireworks out of the living room window.
New Years Day was another beautiful clear morning and, despite all of us feeling a little under the weather, we still found the energy to walk down to Poquitos for a Mexican lunch. Post lunch, we walked downtown and wandered around for a little while before ending up at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery for a coffee break. By late afternoon, we were ready for a well needed Bloody Mary at Sam's Tavern. This one took garnishes to a whole new level and included a slider. That evening was a bit tamer and we hung out at Jami's and ordered in some Thai food while playing the train game.
On the morning of the 2nd, Jami took the 4 of us to the airport and we said goodbye. Bec and I flew down to Los Angeles and Jen and Shazar headed back to Calgary. The rental agency was out of midsized vehicles so they gave us a convertible bug and we were driving north by 2:00pm. We were on our way to visit my friend Zack, his wife Jenny, and their 2 boys, Jack and Dylan in Santa Barbara County. We cruised up the Pacific Coast Highway and arrived in Buellton just before 5:00pm (Sidenote: Buellton is in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley where the 2004 oenophilic, cult-classic movie Sideways was based and shot). That evening, we drove to Santa Ynez town and had an excellent Mexican dinner.
The next morning after breakfast, Zack took us for a walk in Gaviota State Park on the coast. That afternoon, we drove to the nearby vineyard of Fess Parker. Fess Parker made his fortune portraying Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone for Mr. Walt Disney. We sampled a great pinot noir by the outdoor fire as the kids expended a little energy on the lawns. Zack and Jenny headed back to the house to leave Rebecca and I to explore a little more wine country. We figured it was an opportune time to get the top down on the bug, so we cranked the heat, threw on a toque, and headed off through wine country. We stopped at the Foxen vineyard and strolled through the town of Los Olivos before heading back to the house. When we arrived, Zack was busy shucking oysters…good man! They had also prepared pulled pork in the slow cooker which turned out perfect.
The next morning, we were headed south on the PCH and caught our 16 hour flight back to Abu Dhabi. A great start to the New Year!

Alright Gym Rats, Starting February 7th You Will Have Your Machines Back
Tuesday, January 29, 2019
We are all well aware of the mad dash to the gym after the new year's resolution kick. Gyms see an increase in gym memberships and definitely a higher increase in gym attendance throughout the month of January. This is all due to the influx of New Years Resolutioners that have decided to better themselves with the turn of the new year.
Gold's Gym does a study every year to find out when the resolutioners tend to fall off their "fitness cliff." A fitness cliff is essentially when a resolutioner has met their peak, hasn't seen the results they were expecting, gives up and falls back into old habits.
The resolutioners have now been committed to this goal for 30 days, so the gears will either be kicked on or shut down for multiple reasons.
-Capricorn season has come to a close on the 21st (I know, it's a sad day for all of us). This affects the process because Capricorn season is the most favorable season for success. This is why goal making and goal committing is SO SO important.
-30 day trials are real whether we intend them to be or not. We typically tell ourselves we will try something for a month and then reevaluate at the end of that month. January just happens to be more in tune with this given its timing.
Did you know it actually takes 66 days to form a habit? Yeah, your parents lied to you when they said 21 days. 66 days or bust.
According to Shape and Gold's Gym, the typical fall off point for most resolutioners is the 38-day mark. That day just happens to be February 7th. Some gyms see declines as early as three weeks into January whereas some other's don't see fall off behavior until closer to March.
Belisa Vranich, Psy. D., and author and clinical psychologist think that because we live in such an instant gratification world that this should apply to weight loss. We assume everything will happen faster and faster.
February 7th is a good gauge date for the regular gym users to get back to their routines. Only 64% of "new year, new me" goal setters last longer than the first month when it comes to the gym, and then from that only 46% last longer than six months according to Statistic Brain.
However, I don't want you to think I have absolutely zero faith in people when they set their mind to the gym from a new years resolution. This can be very rewarding if it is committed too. I was a new years baby! Last year I committed myself to the gym.
I knew the regulars were grumpy about me being there but I pushed through and we made peace with one another once the middle of February came about. I made it past the 6-month mark, obtained my goal and now I'm just working on improving that goal.
I know it can be done, BUT I don't want you to think we ALL don't notice the fitness cliff 44% of people fall off within the first month of the year.
So boys and gals, until February 7th we can either suck it up and wait an hour for our machine, not go to the gym at all (don't become a statistic!) or try some at home workouts until D-Day comes.
Check back on Thursday for my list of Home Workouts To Try When You Just Can't With The Gym to do in the meantime, because, well, we're not in the mood to fight for a machine with someone who won't there in a week.

Volunteer Profile: "I smile when I think about Jill's House"
Ray Woods shares his experience with Jill's House.
JH: How did you become involved with Jill's
House?RW: My first exposure to Jill's House was by accident. I was
invited to fill out a foursome at the 2005 Links for Little Ones golf tournament. During the raffle, I won a book written by Lon Solomon.
After reading Brokenness (Red Door Press, 2005), I was amazed at how awful I felt. Several weeks later, I decided to attend a service at McLean Bible Church (MBC). Four weeks after that, I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. By the time the next Links for Little Ones golf tournament rolled around in 2006, I was serving on its volunteer board.
JH: How has your volunteer experience evolved since 2006?RW: I continue to represent Jill's House at fundraising events like the Dog Wash and Links for Little Ones. I enjoy raising money for Jill's House by selling donated items on Craigslist
and building, fixing and hauling items for Jill's House. I also mentor children in The Friendship Club through Access at MBC.
JH: How are you able to use your gifts to serve? RW: I believe my spiritual gift is evangelism. Jill's House makes a very compelling testimony on changed lives for Christ, including myself. I hope to continue to help others learn about Christ by sharing Jill's House with them. Reflecting back over the last six years, I smile when I think about Jill's House. A golf tournament was the instrument God used to bring me to Him! The Lord uses Jill's House to help these precious kids and their parents live better lives. But another miracle He worked through Jill's House was saving me. We would love for you to use your gifts and passions to serve at Jill's House as well. You can sign up to volunteer in a wide range of capacities, or contact Jan Pascoe at 703.639.5665 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Remember when I showed off that teaser pic from Knight Minitures' Batman game? Well here it is, a Batman miniature based on Frank Miller's tenure. 2CE just fell out of his chair and screamed, "I want that!" To coincide with the release of this miniature, they also released Ras Al Ghul & the League of Shadows and Penguin Thugs. At some point I'm going to have to see if I can find this game.
It seems Alien Dungeon has been busy the last few weeks since their KickStarter ended for All Quiet on the Martian Front. In their last 2 updates they have mentioned just how much is done. It seems all the sculpting work has been sent out, as has the CAD files for the Plastic stuff. The rule set is very nearly done, with Pick Priestly doing the finishing touches, and then the graphic stuff starts on the book proper. On top of all of this they are updating both the website and their forums for the game, the latter of which is done and can be found here. http://robotpeanutstudios.proboards.com/ I know that neither 2CE or I could get in on this KS (it just wasn't in the budget), I'm fairly certain that I'll be jumping in when it releases. The idea just seems too cool, and I once worked for Ernie Baker the owner, and he's a brilliant man.
By Fire and Sword this week about the release of the KickStarter pledges. Anything that was already in production has been shipped, except the Swedish Skirmish Force, which had to have new molds made. Then this announcement went on to outline the schedule for everything else. If you backed this project make sure you check it out, it's a long one though. If you didn't back it, like me, but still are interested, it's good to see things moving along. Especially when models like this come about from it.
As of this moment, there are under 2 hours left in the Cthulhu Wars KickStarter. I don't know how well they've done raising over 1.3 Million dollars of their loft $40, 000 goal. All joking aside, I know this is a board game, but it's Lovecraft and Cthulhu, what's not to love here? This KS is a whopping success and I couldn't be happier to see it's success.
I swear Mr. Black, the evil genius behind Dark Age, is trying to surprise me every week. A while ago they announced a new rule set. Then he made the championship series at Gen Con an open, which meant I'm definitely competing. In the last two weeks he's hinted at or out right confirmed new models on the horizon for both the Kulkukani and Outcast factions. But now he's out done himself. On July 4th he posted this. At first glance not much more then preview splash of the new cover for the rule book. Until you read the copy of the back cover. "The Dark Age Core Rule Book include all the rules needed to play the game, documents and rules for each of the game's nine factions." (Emphasis added by me) Wait, what? Nine Factions !? Forsaken, Outcast, Dragyri, Skarrd, Brood, CORE, Kulkukani, and.... TWO NEW FACTIONS!?! OK, I'm super stoked to see what this book has in store for us now.
Deadzone has been doing something with their Kickstarter Pledge Manager that I've not seen done single move has changed my opinion. They could have taken the extra money and run, but instead they gave it back to the fans. Nice job, when 2CE get's his stuff, I'm going to try the game. Really nice job!
As you saw here, 2CE got into Dropzone a little, and now the pressure is one for me to do the same. Also I need to defend my honor as he doesn't beat me nearly as much as he likes to claim (bring it!). But there has been a bit of a sense that things had slowed down at Hawk Wargames, because there had been so little news. Well, Dave, the man in charge over there, had this to say:
I don't usually post news this way, but I wanted to let you guys know how things are going with the design side at Hawk to provide some insight into why we've appeared to be quiet lately.
Our main focus right now is preparing for GenCon Indianapolis. It will be our largest show of the year and it's quite an undertaking for a new UK based company to attend. We've been working hard to make the most of this fantastic platform, so expect to see lots of brand new stuff there and online when the show opens!
We've working on more than one big project lately and this has had a short term effect on our intended release schedule. It's extremely hard for us to keep our mouths shut about these at the moment, but all I can really say is watch this space!
As for the current batch of new releases (the ones we previewed a few weeks back), they have slipped a little behind schedule, but only by a few weeks. We'd intended to show you full resin shots by now, but are currently waiting to have our first production models at HQ for photography. As soon as we have them, I'll be straight into the studio to get you shots! We could of course advertise the products as renders, but that's not the sort of company we want to be; it's all too easy to show off idealised, smooth renders of models that don't exist yet - we want to show you real miniatures!
As a small company managing rapid growth with a large number of projects getting near completion, we're all working as hard as we can on several other initiatives, many of which will be revealed soon. I'm still doing all the design, photography, writing, editing as well as running the company and we're looking at expanding further as soon as this current crop of projects are completed. As such, we thank you for your patience and support, not long now until you'll see the fruits of our labours!
- DaveGlad to see this game has some major stuff coming soon. Partly selfish in my excitement, but more on that later.
If you have any interest in painting at a competitive level, Megalith Games (the guys who make Godslayer) is holding a Godslayer Painting Contest. From July 1st to the 13st. The detail are found here, but I think it would be awesome if someone from our community participates. If you are let us know in the comments below.
Comfy Chair Games finally gave us an update on what's going on with Spinespur (rollntider is a happy guy right now). Seems they didn't die over there, they have just been busy. They showcased this model in the update, and now I'm going to have to buy me some Shattered when they release because this model is gorgeous. Especially like the detail to showcase that she's not holding a real baby but a doll. There is only one model from the KS still being sculpted, so the November delivery date seems secure.
There is a new Kickstarter that you might want to look at. All right it's not new, and only has 6 days left, but it's something I've decided to back and I think you should too. It's from a company called Happy Seppuku. They make basing stamps. With them you cam create things like these:
The KickStarter is to help them get the stamps made in Laser cut molds, as opposed to the ones they are using now, the old and new above. Basically this means cleaner lines and definition. Why am I backing this? Yes there is nothing there I couldn't do by hand, but for a small fee I don't have to. To showcase what I mean here is the tutorial article I read the sold me on the product. Anyway, this is the last week to get in on these, 2DE are splitting the cost and will shade the stamps, so find a friend/friends and get these for very little.
Warzone: Ressurection started releasing PDFs of the basic rules and army rules to their backers. Aside from some typo issues they have been really well received and have shone me at least that this game has a lot of potential. Prodos has done a great job and I am really stoked to get my full rulebook (with 2CE's signature) and models. Soon.... Very Soon.

Learning a musical instrument can be a significantly rewarding experience in terms of heightened brain performance and entertainment. While many strive to learn a musical instrument, the costs associated with lessons and learning material can be a large barrier for starting. With the introduction of mobile apps however, several of the ongoing costs are eliminated so that many people can begin to learn. For those who are interested in learning an instrument of their choice, the apps listed in this article can provide a tremendous amount of value in terms of monetary and time benefits.
Simply Piano
Several traditional aspects of playing the piano can restrict many from starting such as the fee for a teacher, the cost of the piano itself, and having to practice where the piano is. To eliminate these barriers, Simply Piano allows users, both novices and professionals, to play wherever they are. Although the piano keys on the screen are smaller than what they would be on a typical piano, the sheet music is on the top half of the screen which progresses as the users play the corresponding keys. In having the sheet music move when the keys are played, Simply Piano breaks down many of the traditional restrictions that are associated with learning to include expensive lessons or the need to spend thousands of dollars on a piano. In the form of a mobile app, it further allows players to practice from anywhere instead of only where there is a physical piano, making it one of the best apps available on the App Store for those who wish to learn piano or improve their skills.
Coach Guitar
One of the most popular instruments to play is the guitar as a result of its lightweight and inexpensive nature. Although transitioning the entire guitar into a mobile interface is difficult, Coach Guitar has been able to do so in an intuitive way that makes it easy to begin learning. To make the learning process more fun, the sample songs that are meant to train the students consist of modern and classic songs that are familiar to many. In having these popular songs as the examples, learning becomes easier to grasp as the melodies and timings are familiar. Furthermore, each song has a variety of difficulty levels so that both those who are new as well as experts are able to follow along. A highly captivating aspect of Coach Guitar is that users are able to also tune the guitar according to their preferences in order to closer match the feel and sound of a physical guitar, making it one of the best mobile emulators.
Leveraging the hardware that is integrated in the phones, Ocarina is a highly comprehensive flute emulator that requires users to use both their fingers and mouths to play. To practice, players need to blow into the microphone which is breath sensitive as well as place their fingers over the "holes" on the screen. As Ocarina offers one of the closest mobile versions of physical instruments, learning is extremely natural while thousands of songs are available for players to begin learning. For example, other users can generate covers of their favorite songs and then upload it so that others are able to practice along as well. In doing so, learning not only becomes more entertaining, but also intuitive as with the Coach Guitar. Furthermore, the tilt of the phone can also be used to adjust the rate and depth of the sounds to further mimic a traditional flute and ultimately make it resemble a physical flute.
Music Tutor
While it may be enticing to attempt to learn an instrument, it is extremely important to begin with a strong foundation. For this reason, learning how to read music is one of the first steps that every musician must take before they are able to begin with any instrument as the ability to sheet read is universal. To gamify the learning process, Music Tutor is an app which introduces various lessons and quizzes that are more engaging than traditional pen-and-paper tests. Furthermore, as an app, Music Tutor can be taken anywhere so that users have the option to learn when they have free time instead of having a stringent and fixed schedule. The app is able to report the progress that is made by storing stats such as response and accuracy so that users can see how they are advancing in their lessons over time, making it highly essential for those who are interested in learning to play an instrument.
Deviating from physical instruments, a form of musical arts that is often overlooked when discussing instruments is singing. Although more intuitive than the other instruments that are available, the ability to sing can be significantly improved with the use of mobile apps. SingTrue helps users sing by using the microphone to listen to the pitch and tone and compares it to how it should actually sound. In providing feedback, users can significantly improve their ability to sing without having to spend a significant amount of money on lessons or a coach. Furthermore, users can track the progress that is made with the use of the exercises that are available. While many may think that the ability to sing is a direct result of inherent talent, the reality is that it is a skill that can be learned through various means, including the SingTrue app to improve.
To begin receiving the benefits of learning a musical instrument, the apps in this article are able to offer a tremendous amount of value in terms of reducing costs and increasing convenience. From guitar to piano lessons, mobile apps can enable nearly anyone from any skill level to practice wherever they are at no cost. Furthermore, many of these apps can provide real-time feedback to the players so that they are able to continually improve without the need for expensive instructors or lesson, making them highly recommended for those who wish to learn a musical instrument.

Sunday morning arrived last week with a welcome burst of sunshine and I headed off down the road to the communal fountain at Perano to get my five cents of ice cold, acqua frizzante. As I drive ELO come onto the iPod with It's Over, I turn up the volume and the multi-layered, rock music spills out of my open window into the Abruzzi countryside. I'm just coming around a bend in Altino when I'm met by the sight of five women walking along the road pushing wheelbarrows. They're obviously off to work in the fields, but where are the men? Another bend is navigated and I have my answer, I pass a bar where all the men are chatting and drinking coffee: No self-respecting contadino would contemplate a days toil without a helping of gossip and coffee.
Our builder has Sundays off so the house is quiet, I take opportunity to make some melanzane parmiaganni and a batch of pasta sauce for storing in the freezer. After lunch we decide to take a stroll along the beach front at Fossacesia, just twenty minutes in the car and we're enjoying the breeze coming off the Adriatic. The beach has a few people lying upon towels soaking up the sun, but no one is in the sea. The Italians have a fear of dying from all manner of influenzas and fevers that will come from swimming in the sea before June. I'm now wishing I'd packed some shorts as I'd like a dip, even if only to see the women gasp in horror and tell me that I'll be dead before the next phase of the moon.
We continue strolling when we notice two buffed Italian men posing as they walk along the beachfront. Obviously enjoying the attention they are getting whether in admiration or the sniggering, they slow to a snails-pace. It's an odd sight, as the Italians are still wearing jumpers and top coats, shorts and t-shirts aren't given an airing until April has passed. We let the parading gym-bunnies continue on their way and drop into Lu Trabocche 3, for a cold Peroni. There's a steady stream of people coming to eat, so we make a note and say we'll give the menu a try one day soon.
There must be an important football match on, (isn't there always in Italia) as many men have small radios pressed to their ears. We see a family enjoying some al fresco dining, children are doing what children do best, making noise and women are chatting loudly and occasionally scolding an errant youngster. On the periphery of the group sits an old man with his radio, it's stopped working and I watch as he takes out the batteries and replaces them again, but to no avail, he's missing the football commentary, so resorts to hitting the radio, beating it into submission until the sound flickers on and he's happy. It's nice to see that despite all of our different creeds and cultures, wherever a man is in the world he'll always revert to that universal method of repair; if in doubt, bash it.
On the way home, with the windows open Siouxsie and the Banshee's play Cascade, from the live album, Nocturne and I'm singing along as we sail down the lane that runs parallel with the strada statale, as we cross a small roundabout, the music changes and the Bee Gees pop up with, You Should Be Dancing. Again I sing along, this time doing my best Gibb brother falsetto impression, much to the amusement of the men sat outside a restaurant drinking beer. I wave, they cheer and I continue on my merry way wondering if the women with the wheelbarrows are on their way home too.

Ed Miliband's spin doctor Tom Baldwin has been rather quiet since Labour's disastrous election night results. Now the former Times journalist has explained his radio silence in an article for the Guardian. He says he has been avoiding the news after the Tories had 'a win they did not fully expect or really deserve'. However, the appointment of John Whittingdale as culture secretary has caused him to resurface:
'But one story has finally made me stumble out of bed. The Tory newspapers have welcomed the appointment of John Whittingdale, an old Thatcherite, as culture secretary with gleeful headlines about the government "going to war" with the BBC. This was accompanied by unsourced comments about how the Conservatives were determined to "sort out" the broadcaster, cut or even kill the licence fee in revenge for "infuriating" them during the election campaign.'
Baldwin says that for the Tories to threaten to 'kill the licence fee' in return for their election coverage would be based on a falsehood, given that it was actually Labour who the BBC wronged the most. While he does not blame the BBC, he does say responsibility for the party's defeat must include taking responsibility for 'failing to win our battles with the BBC':
'Far from being in the pocket of Labour, the BBC was too easily swayed by newspapers that support the Tories and are heavily invested in Labour's defeat. It contaminated everything, from the questions that were asked in interviews, to the lazy assumptions that were made about Ed Miliband. When the rise of digital is causing the direct influence of the Sun, the Telegraph, the Mail and the Times to plummet faster than their readership, it was frustrating the BBC should have so often have provided an echo chamber for them.'
Baldwin goes on to say that this influence stretched to the election debates, which he says were decided at the bequest of the Conservatives; 'I am genuinely puzzled about what exactly did Cameron find not to like?' Perhaps the boldest claim in the piece is the suggestion that BBC employees were repeatedly warned not to cross the line:
'I suspect, however, that something else is going on too. BBC executives and journalists have told me that there were regular, repeated threats from senior Tories during this election campaign about "what would happen afterwards" if they did not do as they were told and fall into line.'
Fighting talk from a man who is now rumoured to be without a job. If the Guardian don't snap the former scribe up after this article, perhaps the BBC will be so bold as to consider finding a home for Baldwin. After all he does make time to describe the organisation as one 'that is invested in fairness, seeking balance even when it is impossible to achieve, listening and speaking to everybody'.

Growing Watermelon Outside or in Greenhouse
How do I know if I can grow watermelon in my area outside or if it has to be in a greenhouse? I have watermelon seeds that have just sprouted, but I don't know if I have to grow them in the planters in my garden outside, or if I have to grow them in my greenhouse. I am a little worried about planting them since the two plants I bought last year died on me and they were in the greenhouse. Granted, I think it was because some birds got into my greenhouse and ate them, but please help me. Also, if they are in my greenhouse, which doesn't get very warm unless the sun is actually out, how much do I have to water them? And would I have to pollinate them or something to make sure they grow fruit this year.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Starting seeds in the greenhouse is fine, but once it's warm enough outside, I would move the plants outdoors. Watermelons need lots of room to grow and they will also need pollinators to fruit. Here is more information on growing and caring for these plants, as well as info for hardening off the young plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/seeds/how-to-harden-off-your-seedlings.htm, https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/watermelon/growing-watermelon.htm, https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/watermelon/growing-watermelons-containers.htm, https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/watermelon/watering-watermelon.htm

Hot New Trend: Interactive Art – Fun To Watch and Play!
What is art? Humans have been arguing over the definition of "art" for thousands of years. There are hundreds of different types of art, and even more theories and discussions and commentaries on the true nature of art. At its simplest level, art is something that is pleasing to the eye (and possibly other senses) and evokes some kind of emotion within us. Art can even be interactive! That can mean that it is a part of a huge exhibit where you can walk around and touch it. The extraordinarily detailed graphics of modern video games can also be called art. Recently, a new and exciting form of art has emerged, and many people are finding that it is one of the most accessible and interesting kinds that they have ever encountered. This art form is MAZE ART.
What is maze art? Well, let us begin by talking about mazes. Mazes have been enjoyed by humans for a very long time, and have appeared in both two- and three-dimensional forms. Historically, we know that people used to be enthralled by huge labyrinths where people could get lost for days at a time. These are still explored in popular culture today. Even in modern times, people enjoy walking through corn mazes. Sometimes they even have a spooky twist around a certain time of year. Many mazes that people enjoy are two-dimensional. These often appear in magazines, children's books, and newspapers. They can range from simple to extremely complex. Solve this op art maze and then check the solution HERE!
Does this sound pleasing to you? If it does, you probably love simple brainteasers and you appreciate many different kinds of art. If that is the case, another activity that will be perfect for you is playing at an online casino. The new, redesigned, and fully updated casino games at all online casinos are brimming with gorgeous graphics and engaging background art. Of course, all of these games are totally interactive! So while you are appreciating the awesome game art, you will also be feeling the excitement of slots, roulette, poker, or many other great casino games. While maze art will keep you entertained, playing games additionally gives you the chance to win online casino real money! Maze art is perfect to get you into the right mindset for playing online casino games. Think of it as a fun warm-up for your brain to get ready to gamble. Then when you play, you will be focused on your game and thoroughly engaged. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your mazes, your computer, phone, or tablet, and start playing today!

Q. Can we have 24 hour opening in the Library?
Answered By: Ewan McCubbin Last Updated: Apr 25, 2018 Views: 189
Thanks for completing one of our comments cards recently and for your very creative illustration. Sorry for being a bit slow to reply to your feedback.
The Library at St Andrews most recently tried 24/7 opening in 2012/2013. We stayed open for 24/7 over 2 different 2 week periods around the revision/exam diets in December and May of that academic year.
Whilst students at the time were very excited about the prospect of 24/7 and Library staff were delighted with the very creative zombie-themed campaign we ran to advertise the initiative, in reality the usage was very low. We found that between 3am and 8am, there were very students in the building and that this was sometimes as low as single figures.
There is of course a cost to the University to offer 24/7 to students in terms of staffing (both Library staff and Estates cleaning staff), heating and lighting. We felt after the 2012/13 trial that the lack of use along with the availability of 24/7 PC classrooms in Butts Wynd that we couldn't justify the expense. Since 2012/13 we have further increased our opening hours both during semester and vacation.
We get very few requests for 24/7 and I think yours is the first I've seen for a while. So thanks again for your creative feedback but we have no plans to extend opening hours at the moment.

New energy industry
Hohhot has great advantages for developing new energy industry, with abundant silicon ore, water, wind and land resources that are suitable for photovoltaic and wind power. In addition, it has large deserts near the main power grids, which are excellent for power plants. Hohhot also has a more stable supply of electricity and relatively low costs compared with China's 27 provincial capitals, giving it an advantage in developing raw materials such as polycrystalline silicon. It produces 1,000 tons of monocrystalline silicon and 1,500 tons of polysilicon a year. And, when its Inner Mongolia Sunnergy Co and Shenzhou Silicon Industry Co projects go into production, it will be able to produce 1,000 tons of monocrystalline silicon rods, 800-1,000MW of silicon wafers and ingots, and 28,500 tons of polysilicon. Its wind farms backed by the Huaneng Hohhot Wind Power Co and China Guodian Corp are also taking advantage of those wind resources and wind power equipment manufacturing and have begun generating power, helping develop new energy.

Data Science 1: Wisconsin Breast Cancer Database
Following on my New Years Resolution to explore Data Science, I've just released my first write-up. It's based around the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Database, and the classification of benign and malignant growths - i.e it's the standard introduction to machine learning! The techniques used are very basic - using only histograms and a correlation matrix for the initial data analysis, and Linear SVC via sklearn for the predictive model. It was a good introduction to the tooling - pandas, plotly, numpy, and sklearn - though, as well as the overall workflow. Read more

What happens if someone with an emotional vulnerability feels he or she is being attacked at the point where they are weakest?
You could get any number of different responses but in my case it tends to lead to me shutting down emotionally until I can process what has happened.
I was recently involved with someone who thought that I was purposely closing her out and perhaps trying to punish her by withdrawing my warmth...but it wasn't so. I tend to be more vulnerable than the average human being in society because of my particular experiences through life. When subjected to pain, who wouldn't withdraw themselves. If your hand gets too close to the fire and starts to burn, do you not pull it away?
One of the realities of living with PTSD is that I have a defense mechanism that closes down all my emotions - it's a bit like being surrounded by thick, metal doors. Nothing gets in or out until I've managed to sort out whatever's just happened.
If you're in a relationship with a vulnerable person, take care and communicate openly and effectively in a sensetive manner. It doesn't mean that we've stopped caring for the person that we've had the upset with ... just that we need time to deal with what has happened.

This topic it says multi or unless this is a mistake that

That being said I can't wait to pick this up.
