The Chronicles of Western Astrology

March 8th, 2009 admin No comments

western-astrologyFor most poets, night is the association of a lady dressed in a black closet and bejeweled with glowing diamonds. However, the shining stars in the dazzling black night with other celestial bodies are more than just the novelty of the sky.

Astrologers for century have studies the sky looking for stars and planetary activities to have effect on people’s daily lives on earth.

Most say western countries are far more advanced to believe this myth of stars having impact on lives on earth, but the truth is there are vast stories behind astrology in the western part of the world. In ancient times, astrology was practices only for the royal bloods, and thus placed astrologers in their respected levels. If ever an astrologer brought ay bad news for the royal families, these poor astrologers had their heads cut off.

Western astrology started somewhat 2500 BC in the ancient Mesopotamia and found its way to the olden streets of Greece. Astrologers thrived in the world from that time with the emergence of Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

While one of Aristotle’s philosophy students Alexander the Great went on colonizing different parts of the world, he redistribute the Greek philosophy and way of life.  After that in a span of three hundred years, it was Egypt who showed much of a response to Alexander conquests and made the greatest influence towards philosophy.

Astrology has after then become a particular center of scholarly learning and accepted by the far most thinkers of the era. The well known astrologer Ptolemy has taught people not only to study sky, but to make mathematically incline astronomy. This joint venture of astrology is now what we know as horoscope and Zodiac signs.

After a several hundred years when people interpreted the power of astrology, they have gone underground to give a thought to their powerful believes of the Christian Church in the middle Ages. They have practiced astrology with their full minds maintaining a low profile as astrology was declared unorthodox at that times. Fortunately after a few years after the Renaissance period, the revival of Greek and Neo-Platonic researches bought back western astrology. Marsilio Ficino was known as one of the strongest astrologer and alchemist of his age.

Unfortunately, astrology was cut short due to the arrival of the Age of Enlightment when the paradigm shift differentiated astrology and astronomy apart. AT that time, physical science took its greatest belief and astrology to be a mere supernatural art.

Astrology was then reviled at the start of 20th century and was made primarily due to the efforts and inspiring works of the astrologers like Sepharial and Alan Leo. They are also called the pioneers of the Astrological lodge of the theosophical society in Great Britain. From then, western technology flourished and become popular and important in the everyday lives of peoples.

The astrological belief in the current age includes Sun Sign astrology, karma, reinsertion and the daily horoscope.

Astrology has become a group discussion in the everyday lingo of current time. It was not until in 1930 when Paul Clancy started publishing the “American Astrology” magazine that opened peoples mind about astrology in a wide view. Highly respected astrologer Dane Rudyard who first started writing horoscope under the twelve astrological signs. The horoscope from them started to be a part of everyday newspapers, magazines and in the daily activates of men.
The history of western astrology survived a long years, supernatural but is yet down earth spirituality.

networkingWith the increasing number of computers in office as well as homes, demand of computer networking is on rise. Every one wants to share data as well as hardware components of every system through a common gateway and that’s only possible with the help of a perfect computer networking. Most of the PC users are now connected to internet through fast speed broadband connection and hence they are even keener to use large data through a common platform. Networking has never been an easy task, due to its complexity many users prefer to share only printers and files. There are several ways by which you can set up an interactive computer network at your home or in office.

Wireless networking is quite feasible, convenient and easy to use but when it comes of reliability and security then it lags behind. Latest wifi technology enables some easy techniques to set up networks but give more preference to Ethernet cable to PC networking. Network sharing through LAN wires with the help of Ethernet adaptors is the best techniques. If LAN wire is not feasible to use then you could even use general electric wire with the help of powerline adaptors. Hence your cost for the LAN wire will cut down and will compensated by powerline adaptors that can be found for around $100.

While sharing multiple laptops together in a network that need some portability then the wireless networking would be the best option. The latest N generation routers provides some added speed to the transferring of data and even costs twice as that of earlier G generation routers. Such a routers is only required if large chunks of data is needed to be transferred frequently. Covering range of N generation routers is also more than enough for an average home or office network.

Through wireless networking, parts of the broadband connection may also be shared. Due to unsafe security settings, sometimes it may happen that intruders can also share a part of your broadband without your permission. For such situations, Fon Router is there to ensure completely safety.

To increase the connectivity up to 8 PC, $50 version of software will be needed.

To add some extra protection to your wireless network you may opt for some open source software like AVG from Grisoft or Norton internet security 2009. AVG ensures a virus free networking to all the system users, its paid version is even faster and add extra spyware protection to the network.

Volcanoes – Earth-Shattering News

February 23rd, 2009 admin No comments

volcano_hawaii_kilaueaVolcanoes are the ultimate earth-moving machinery. A violent eruption can blow the top few kilometers of mountain, scatter fine ash practically all over the globe and hurl rock fragments into the stratosphere to darken the skies a continent away.

But the classic eruption – cone-shaped mountain, big bang, mushroom cloud and surges of molten lava- is only a tiny part of a global story vulcanism, the name given to volcanic processes, really has shaped the world eruption have rifted continents, raised mountain chains, constructed islands and shaped the topography of the earth. The entire ocean floor has a basement of volcanic basalt.

Geologists consider the earth as having a molten core, surrounded by a semi-molten mantle and a brittle, outer skin. It helps to tyhink of a soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk, a firm but squishy white and a hard shell. If the shell is even slightly cracked during boiing, the white material bubbles out and sets like a tiny mountain chain over the crack- like an archipelago of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands. But the earth is so much bigger and the mantle below is so much hotter.

Even though the mantle rocks are kept solid by overlying pressure, they can still slowly flow like thick treacle. The flow, thought to be in the form of convection currents, is powerful enough to fracture the ‘eggshell’ of thr crust into plates, and keep them bumping and griding against each other, or even overlapping, at the rate of a few centimeters a year. These fracture zones , where the collisions occur, are where earthquakes happen. And very often volcanoes.

Volcanoes have not only made the continents, they are also thought to have made the world’s first stable atmosphere and provided all the water for the oceans, rivers and ice-caps. There are now 600 active volcanoes. Every year they add two or three cubic kilometers of rock to the continents. Imagine a similar number of volcanoes smoking away for the last 3500 million years. That is enough rock to explain the continental crust.

What comes out of volcanic craters is mostly gas. More than 90% of this gas is watyer vapour from the deep of the earth:L enough to explain, over 3500 million years, the water in the oceans. The rest of the gas is Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, sulphur Dioxide, methane, ammonia and hydrogen. The quality of these gases, again multiplied over 3500 million years, is enough to explain the mass of the world’s atmosphere. We are alive because provided the soil, air and water we need with the blessings of the Almighty God.
