Vincent van Gogh: Solar Return Charts (1)
Posted on November 17, 2008 by Thomas
I posted this article in October, but according to the statistics on it, there didn't seem to be much interest. Now I am not sure whether they are dull or whether the time at which they were published was not opportune. Please be so friendly as to give me some feedback so that I know whether solar return charts are of interest. I had planned to go through the following 6 years in detail, but will only take the time if there is an interested public!
I examined six critical years in Vincent van Gogh's life:
1869 Vincent begins his apprenticeship with Goupil
1876 Vincent is fired
1880 Vincent decides to become a painter
1887 Vincent moves to Arles in this solar year
1888 Vincent's fateful meeting with Gaugin and his first nervous breakdown (cuts part of his left ear off)
1890 Vincent's (unintended?) suicide
The major planetary clusters in Vincent van Gogh's chart are in mutable signs; Sagittarius (Moon, South Node and Jupiter) and Pisces (MC, Mars and Venus). And so I will be concentrating my attention first on any solar return activity in these signs, where conjunctions, oppositions and squares to the central planetary configurations of the natal chart are made. It is generally a good idea to look for patterns in a whole series of solar return charts, instead of looking at each year seperately. In each of the above years one set of the mutable signs is on an axis. In 1869, 1876, 1880 and 1887 it is the Ascendant/Descendant axis. In 1887, 1888 and 1890 it is the MC/IC axis.
In 1869, solar return Mercury (14 Pisces), L1, is square solar return Saturn (17 Sagittarius), L10. Saturn is also conjunct the radical Moon. This means that the radical Moon/Jupiter and Mars/Venus configuration is activated. In addition solar return Venus conjuncts radical Venus. Solar return Jupiter (L10 of the radix) also conjuncts natal Mercury. So we have both a focus on learning the profession of art dealer, with all its accompanying communicative difficulties. Vincent also has first encounters with the art of painting, albeit passively. There are of course other aspects that are of interest. Solar return Mars interestingly enough is conjunct solar return North Node (15 Leo) and so exactly square natal Saturn (15 Taurus)*. This means that Saturn is at the midpoint between both nodes. The opposite midpoint is occupied by solar return Moon (13 Scorpio) This is interesting as both Moon and Saturn are activated in both charts, one by conjunction, the other by opposition. Both are rulers of the Asc/Descendant axis of the natal chart. I'm not surprised that solar return Mars is in the 4th house, the choice of this apprenticeship was not Vincents idea, it was made for him by his family. They were the driving force behind the decision. Vincent was after all only 16 years old.
* You might also want to note that the antiscion of solar return Mars is at 14 Taurus and so conjunct natal Saturn!

Hello Thomas :0)
Perhaps if you gave us Van Gogh's birth data one or two of us might be able to tease out a few more testimonies of interest?
Good Afternoon Thomas!
I got TOP marks in the Stroop test so do you think my neuropsychological evaluations (which measure mental vitality and flexibility thus enabling me to perform with maximum self-regulation capability) are in their degree of greatest exaltation?
Or shouldn't this 'link' that appears in the comments section:
…sharpbrains.com/teasers/top-15-puzzles-teasers-riddles…
have been on your Weblog at all LOL? 😉

I have looked for this article back in the time, found strange that sudden disappearing.
I don´t think you should do or take your articles based on popularity. You would end up doing love sun sign astrology !
Interest in real astrology is limited, and the much complicated the theme, lesser students will be
Thank you! The link wiggled itself in! I don't mind if someone asks for more riddles, but then if none of them belong to the top 15 puzzles at the site mentioned, LOL, then the link shouldn't be there!
Hello Yuzuru,
You are right of course. It is just that if certain posts are overlooked, statistically, then one does ask whether they generate enough (at least one visitor?) to take the time to write more on the same theme.
Thank you so very much for your feedback!
Here are the birth details:

Hi Thomas :0)
Thank you for Van Gogh's birth details; now we can follow your reasoning in the 1869 S.R. and subsequent years.
And I agree with Yuzuru. Just because we don't comment on an article doesn't mean to say that we aren't all reading and appreciating your work. I for one am very appreciative! 🙂
I shall look forward to your presentation of the whole 'series' .

In regards to Caroline's Stroop test I too had one done.
What we discovered is that my brain is so sharp that I cut myself when thinking !!!
At any rate, my neglect is not from disinterest but from an extemely heavy workload (entertainment business). HOwever, in a day ortwo I shall look at the Van Gogh returns and see what we are searching for.
This is a great site and I, for one, find your posts and forum very intriguing and smartly done.
Sir Arthyr
Hello Caroline, Herman, Arthyr!
Thank you so much for your moral support! I will however try to enliven the next van Gogh solar return charts!
Caroline and Arthyr: nice to hear you did so well with the texts, err- Stroop tents, err_ swoop tests… 🙂 oh well. I get so easily distracted. Shouldn't take the statistics too serious now should I.
warmest regards to you all!
Caroline on November 21, 2008 at 7:51 am said:
I have just been following you on the 1869 return. Beautifully worked out and a joy to follow! 🙂 Thank you. Should we also take note of the position of the natal ascendant in the solar return chart? I thought it fitting for that for 1853 it fell into the 3rd house of communication and learning. Especially with that double whammy of natal Moon on s.r. Saturn, and natal Saturn opposed by s.r. Moon (tying up the return 10th house with the natal first).
Which method do you use to ascertain the ruler of the revolution? Do you use Morin's method? (I theeeenk this is the planet with the most dignities in the 5 Hylegical places) or Abu Mashar's suggestion of taking the Lord of the profected year. In which case Mars wins hands down, and so his being positied in the 4th house would indeed indicate young Vincent abiding by his parental wishes as you state with that mutual reception between the Sun and Mars.
Phew! All too much strain for me at this time of the morning though! I will go and eat some oily fish before studying the next one! :0)

Athena on November 21, 2008 at 6:18 pm said:
Thank you for your interesting find on synchronicity with solar returns in the life of van Gogh. You have made the returns for the Zundert, Netherlands, where Vincent van Gogh was born. He died in Auvers sur Oise in France, but it was not important for the results of your research are both towns are close, so it does not change the results of your research on his mutable signs. However, transit Saturn on 27 July 1890 is opposed his 1980 Solar Return 4 Pisces MC for Auvers sur Oise in France.
I believe Van Gogh's Mars and Moon, both Lord of Geniture and Ascendant are essential to understand van Gogh. Mars is close to fixed star Scheat which is artistic but on the wing of madness. Moon and South Node are conjunct Rasalhague augment imagination and is linked also to mental illness.
I thought you would appreciate the fact that the Grand Conjunction of 18 April 1881 has Pisces Mars square to Sagittarius Moon and North Node, repeating the same natal square in Van Gogh's chart. He decided to become a painter in 1880 and his 1880 Revolution in Arles, France has Mars opposed natal Moon and South Node and square his natal Mars and MC, and Mars rules SR 5th of pleasure in this chart. However, on 27 July 1890, Mars and Moon entered Sagittarius together and he shot himself in the chest.
Van Gogh was a man of destiny and resonated strongly with the Grand Conjunction, because the one before his birth on 26 January 1842 was exactly square his natal Aries Sun making him famous, but suffering a tragic end.
Hi Caroline,
A small note on the Solar Return subject. Morin based all responses by the individual from the natal chart. So if we call the Lord of the V.V.G.'s Geniture Venus, it will always hold that position during the entire lifetime and all consequent SR.'s.
The main points Morin expressed in the SR were the Ascendent and the MC's position, any planets by Mundo to the natal chart and the determinations based on the Ingress of the Solstice or Equinox of the area in which the native lived. From these Ingress charts were the determination of the lord of the year and their effect on the general populace of which the native was a part..
Finallly, Morin did find the lord of the Geniture for a SR but it didn't take precedence over the Natal Chart's LoG. The SR LoG simply gave strong indications concerning its condition and sign rulership.
So, If Mercury were the LoG of a SR and it ruled the Ascendent, we would want to pay particular attention to the Natal Mercury and how the SR Mercury worked in "concordance" with each other.
Morin never considered only one planet as a situation in a chart and always reprimanded those who did (Cardan comes to mind).
At your service,
Pisces Mars is the Lord of Geniture of the natal chart of van Gogh, and Sagittarius Moon is the Lord of Ascendant and both are in square sinister aspect.
I would like to share with you that the chart of the Grand Conjunction can be profected. Grand Conjunction of 1881 which had Pisces Mars square Sagittarius Moon and North Node is a repetition of the natal aspect in the natal chart of van Gogh.
If you profect the Grand Conjunction to 18 April, Profected Mars is 10 Sagittarius and profected Moon is 21 Virgo, and Van Gogh 1990 Mars Revolution is also 11 Sagittarius. Revolution of 1890 has also profected Jupiter in Aquarius conjunct Revolution Jupiter in 8th Aquarius opposed to Revolution Leo Moon.
I would suggest strongly to use Grand Conjunctions and profect them. My source for this is Pepita who translated with Anthony Louis, Book 16 of Morin.
@ Arthyr:
What does it mean? It's not clear for me. Can you explain me a little better, please?
Cardano considers the geniture together with the solar return. Or does Morin mean something else? i found Morin very difficult and English too 😦
Arthyr said: "Morin based all responses by the individual from the natal chart. So if we call the Lord of the V.V.G.'s Geniture Venus, it will always hold that position during the entire lifetime and all consequent SR.'s."
'Morning Arthyr,
Yes, I take your point: the message of a solar return is only valid only if that same message is promised by the natal chart.
Regarding Morin never considering one planet in isolation and reprimanding those who did: didn't contentious Morin reprimand every other astrologer as a matter of course, regardless of what they did LOL!
Margherita said: "i found Morin very difficult and English too "
~~CarO ~~ Me Too Margherita!! 😉
gjiada on November 22, 2008 at 9:10 am said:
@ Caroline
But I think that Cardano does the same.
I'm not really sure because Cardano writes in an awful Latin, he wrote he learnt it in a night as in a sudden revelation, and this makes me very skeptical – as usual, the virgo sun 🙂
So it's very difficult for me to follow the translation I have and the Latin text (I always compare both).
Anyway now I'm translating something pertinent, so at this point I hope to complete it soon.

Good Morning Caroline!
Good point. There is so much to be seen in a solar return. Yes, the position of the radix Ascendant and the Lord or Lady of the Year should be considered.
I'm a bit lazy, when it comes to the Lord or Lady, though. I resort to them for those charts where there seems to be nothing going on! But Mars as LY would then further support the other Mars testimonies.
'Morning Margherida!
Thank you for the feed…back. 😉
Hello Athena!
The 1869 return chart was indeed taken for Zundert, as I believe Vincent was still at home at the time. The other charts, I have taken, as best as possible, for the places where Vincent was at during his birthday. He wrote many letters to his brother Theo, and so one has a good chance of establishing this.
I was thinking of posting each of the solar returns for the years mentioned seperately. Although any insights to the earlier charts are welcomed!
I am intrigued by your choice of Mars as Lord of the Geniture. In presenting the natal chart I suggested Venus, with Jupiter also being contender. Could you please explain your reasoning?
Vincent van Gogh, is in the popular mind, most remembered for cutting his left ear off, and so for his 'madness'. The cause for his nervous condition, remains a bit of a mystery. There are suggestions that he could have been in the later phase of syphilis, or that heavy drinking, particularly absinthe (which has a very high percentage of alchol), or depression. What is quite clear, astrologically, is that Mercury plays a prominent role in his chart. See the discussion in the post on his chart. If one reads his letters to his brother Theo, one doesn't have the impression that he was mad. He was however extremely sensitive to his surroundings, particularly for the downtrodden. In one letter, he says that, "in some situations it is better to be the vanquished than the victor, that is better to be Prometheus rather than Zeus…let come what must come."
I usually don't look at Grand Conjunctions in reference to natal charts, but the idea is intriguing, especially for individuals who really have made their mark in history.
The pre-natal GC at 9 Capricorn is interesting as the antiscion of the Moon is at 9 Capricorn. This would of course bind the whole to the prenatal eclipse which is conjunct the natal Moon.
Now on to the next comments. See you soon as you have written further on down the line!
Hello Arthyr,
Caroline has already answered you, I see. Thank you for your comment!
Hello Athena,
Back again. Using profections is also very helpful. In fact we see that in order to understand a natal chart, we need to see how it develops through time. That means that profections, secondary and primary directions and also such major events as pre-natal eclipses or GConjunctions as well as solar returns help. I think it is a misconception to think that a natal chart can be 'read' as a stand alone chart.
It might complicate things, but maybe we should include significant developments in further discusssion of the set or solar return charts that will be considered here?
Thank you for a most satisfactory discussion. (that also goes for everyone else who has contributed!)
Thomas said to Athena: "I am intrigued by your choice of Mars as Lord of the Geniture. In presenting the natal chart I suggested Venus, with Jupiter also being contender. Could you please explain your reasoning?"
Good Afternoon Thomas :0)
I don't know why Athena picked Mars to be the natal LoG, but there is another candidate as well as Venus and Jupiter to be 'Lord of the Geniture' in Van Gogh's chart. May I suggest the Sun?
I learnt early on over on Tom's Solar Return list that Morin proposed the most influential planet as LoG as being the planet that is the strongest in the principle hylegical places in the nativity. That is, strongest in the places of the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven and Fortuna. Whichever planet that has the most dignities in those places was, in Morin's opinion, the LoG, and if more than one candidate, then the planet's own intrinsic essential strength was also considered.
However, Morin tells us that if there is more than one contender, a planet's accidental dignity state outranks its essential dignity.
So with Jupiter being the planet who has the most dignities in the hylegical places (22 points) being cadent, perhaps the Sun in his exaltation in the 10th house with 17 points would make a suitable alternative?
Venus has only 8 points when evaluated this way.
Which just goes to show there are as many candidates for LoG than there are planets or astrologers calculating them at times LOL!
:0))
Thank you for your kind answers. I chose Mars as Lord of Geniture for the natal chart of Van Gogh for two reasons.
First reason, is that I followed the following rule: judging which of the ruler and exalted ruler of Ascendant, MC, Sun, Moon and Part of Fortune has more dignities. I believe it is Mars because he rules Sun and Part of Fortune, whereas Venus is only the exalted ruler of MC. Venus is stronger than Mars. However, Mars is more important even if he is peregrine, and Morin did seem to follow this rule also, i.e. taking a peregrine planet as the Lord of geniture.
Also, with my Solar Fire software, Mars is the almuten of the chart according to Ibn'Ezra. It is true however that software calculations are not the most trustworthy, and I trust my own calculations.
There are usually different arguments for choosing which planet is LOG. Sometimes it isn't one planet alone! That is what makes it so difficult. Thank you for explaining your reasoning.
I concur with Caroline that:
I agree that Venus is also Lord of Geniture. However, Mars even if peregrine, but being the Lord of Sun and Part of Fortune and conjunct MC has been more important. And this can be seen, I believe, in the fact that Mars was important in the returns where there were major turning points for Van Gogh.
1880 Revolution has SR Mars on SR 12th cusp opposed to natal Sagittarius Moon and square natal Mars, and Van Gogh left everything to start painting full time. 1890 Revolution has SR Mars conjunct natal Sagittarius Moon and square natal Mars. Transit Mars start retrograding to Scorpio, but in July, transit Mars re-entered Sagittarius with transit Moon and he suicided himself by a shot in the chest. I think this can show effectively that Morin is right to say that a peregrine planet like Mars can be the Lord of the Geniture, if it is angular and has rulership on either Ascendant, MC, Sun, Moon and Part of Fortune. It the case of Mars, it is Sun and Part of Fortune.
I must say that looking at the importance of Mars in the life of Van Gogh gave me more confidence to grant the title of Lord of Geniture to Mars.
Yes you have a point there. I also agree that a peregrine planet, provided it has accidental dignity, can also be LOG and that this function is not only reserved for essentially dignified planets. If we pop over to the 1876 solar return we see Mars conjunct Venus. Any thoughts on this chart?
I erected 1876 Revolution for Paris, France. Lords of the Year are SR Mars and Venus in conjunction but in Taurus in natal 11th. It repeats the same natal conjunction and both Mars and Venus are also Lords of Geniture. I think that this conjunction square natal Moon and Jupiter made him very passionate and rebellious and inclined to do as he pleases.
This conjunction sextile SR Mercury in fall in Pisces on natal MC which rules natal 12th of self-undoing. SR Mars also rules SR 12th of self-undoing.
If you look at the SR 12th, you will see also Jupiter which is the Lord of SR Ascendant also in 12th which is opposed to Moon in 6th which is the Lord of natal Ascendant. The environment in Paris, France is not adequate for him.
SR Mercury rules SR 7th of associations and SR 9th of foreign travel and faith. SR Mercury in Fall on MC could indicate that he would have communication problem with his profession, and there could be some changes.
He was fired on April 1, 1876 when transit Mercury was exact on natal MC. He then returned to England to teach gospel, as he was passionate for religion, and this was done impusively in my view, as SR Ascendant was conjunct natal Moon square natal Mars.
As you see, focussing mostly on Lord(s) of Geniture, Lord(s) of the year, as well as Lord of Ascendant could help find the most important events promised in a Revolution.
Athena.

Sorry that I neglected answering your comment! Your reading is a valuable addition to the 1876 article!
! Thank you. We'll be returning shortly to Van Gogh in further articles on his solar returns. I am looking forward to your reading of them, when the time comes.


Any help would be appreciated :] I think I've tunneled vision on this so I can't quite see another alternative.
At the start of the loop with i = 0, you check if str[i] === reverse_str[i]. If so, true is returned. Otherwise, false is returned. Either way, you return a value at the first iteration of the loop. The loop breaks too soon, and only the first characters are compared.
Instead, you want to check if str[i] is not equal to reverse_str[i]. If so, return false. The return true should be outside just after the for-loop, after you have checked each letter and are sure that all letters match.
The outermost if/else are actually redundant.
Protip. Instead of pasting a screenshot of the code, paste the code itself. It's easier for others to copy/paste code to a code editor than to type the code right out of your screenshot.
Thanks kev! Is there way to indent here in the forums? I didn't copy/paste because the code looked messy without indents.

The Judge: Last Exit for Mankind
While so many listen to the woo woo cooing of a large part of the alternative media, we have come to the brink. The madness that has allowed the progression of the Fukushima meltdowns has at least made newsworthy enough the reporting of nuclear waste leaks at Hanover, Carlsbad, NM, and elsewhere. Events that might not have made it to the news were it not for gathering public interest. But, just as at Fukushima, the official releases have been focused on purely handling public perception and not truth.
We will connect the recent wave of earthquakes and the magnitude threat posed by shifting conditions in Yellowstone to such irresponsible practices as these. Together with the extensive extraction of oil and now fracking, subsurface detonations in the past, the madness of employing HAARP, and the decline of an atmosphere that once shielded us from full spectrum light, this planet has been brought to the very crossroads where one more wrong turn can easily lead to our extinction.
Instead of the slow death by an already poisoned environment, you may have a fast one. You have little time left to turn it around. My colleagues and I feel we are simply trying to find new ways to say the same things. - JCH
The show has been plagued by several interruptions, at one time David had to reboot his whole system.
During the first interruption at minute 40 into the show, James was discussing the lawyer from Florida and how, when James answered his question about what happened in Sasebo Harbor, the lawyer decided to give up the trip. James take on it was that if that was too difficult to accept, he wouldn't have been ready for what was in the ridge valley.
In the second one where James audio breaks up at 2h24min, James explains how the powers-that-be are so entrenched in their madness that they had rather destroy everyone, including themselves, as long as they are still on top than survive with losing any of their hold on power.
Timed Out
Truth comes with crushing embrace
lies lingering so long
Since mocking birds all night
sing their song
Trailing mist visiting death
slowly settling to earth
Strontium, aluminum, flouride
reactors burning, distilling
Into life loss the once life giving
And food denied by one scheme
or another
The health of bounty traded
declined to shudder
By it's own epidemic in the face
of hunger
Until the mocking birds go

Mirage Men Documentary
Mirage Men
How the US government created a myth that took over the world.
ET visitors… crashed UFOs… back-engineered alien technology… the government cover-up of a secret that would change the world as we know it…
These are the core elements of the modern UFO mythology, a story that has captivated farmers, princes and generals for generations, and shows no sign of loosening its grip on the popular imagination.
But what if, instead of covering up the UFO story, elements in the US military had actively encouraged it as part of their Cold War counterintelligence arsenal – manufacturing the myth of the UFO as a powerful weapon of mass deception and the perfect cover for all manner of clandestine technologies and operations.
Now, for the first time, some of those whose actions have directly shaped the UFO mythology, and some of their victims, tell their stories, revealing a surreal disturbing and sometimes tragic sequence of events that is part Manchurian Candidate and part Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Mirage Men draws viewers into a saucer-shaped hall of mirrors, a shadow-world where every lie contains elements of the truth, and the truth is far stranger than the UFO believers, or their detractors, would have you believe.
The Eyeopener Report | A Brief History of SSRI Shootings, April 16, 2014

SSRI stands for Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor, and it is a class of drugs that is often used to treat depression and anxiety. It includes Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, Paxil and a host of other commonly prescribed antidepressants. And the perpetrators of a raft of school shootings, mass murders and other violent incidents in recent years have been taking them.
Although the drug manufacturers are quick to downplay this connection as anecdotal or coincidental, mounting scientific evidence points to a strong correlation between the use of psychiatric drugs in general, and SSRIs in particular, and violent behavior.
Find out more about this correlation and its implications in the treatment of mental illness in this week's edition of The Eyeopener. -corbettreport.com

Researchers use DNA strands to create nanobot computer inside living animal
Labels Nanobots /
Source: phys.org
A team of researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel has successfully demonstrated an ability to use strands of DNA to create a nanobot computer inside of a living creature—a cockroach. In their paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, the researchers describe how they created several nanobot structures using strands of DNA, injected them into a living cockroach, then watched as they worked together as a computer to target one of the insects cells.
Prior research has shown that DNA strands can be programmable, mimicking circuits and even solving simple math problems. The team in Israel has now extended that work to show that such programmability can be used inside of a living organism to perform work, such as destroying cancer cells.
DNA strands can be programmed because of their natural tendency to react to different proteins. In this new effort, the team unwound DNA strands and then tied them together in an origami type box structure. The box was then "filled" with a single chemical molecule. Next, other such objects were created for the purpose of interacting with both the box structure and certain proteins found inside of the cockroach. The whole point was to create multiple scenarios in which the box would open automatically upon colliding with certain proteins. Adding multiple nanostructures allows for increasing the number of possibilities. For example, if the box structure will only open if it encounters three kinds of proteins, one made naturally by the cockroach, and two others carried by two different DNA origami structures. By mixing the combinations, it's possible to cause the box to open using logic operations such as AND, OR, NOT (where the box will not open if a certain protein is present) etc., and that of course means that computational operations can be carried out—all inside of a living organism.
In their study, the researchers filled the origami box with a chemical that binds with hemolymph molecules, which are found inside a cockroach's version of a bloodstream. All of the injected nanobots were imbued with a fluorescent marker so that the researchers could follow their progress inside the cockroach. They report that their experiments worked as envisioned—they were able to get the box to open or not, depending on the programming of the entire fleet of nanobots sent into the insect on multiple occasions under a variety of scenarios. Cleary impressed with their own results, the team suggests that similar nanobot computers could be constructed and be ready for trial in humans in as little as five years.

Pentagon Secret Plane Has Been In Space For Almost 500 Days - And They Still Won't Say What It's Doing There...
Labels Secret Space War, US Space Command, X-37B /
Source: unknowncountry.com, redicecreations.com
The X-37B, the U.S. Air Force's secret robotic space plane, has now been in orbit for almost 500 days, a record-breaking time period for space endurance. The latest version of the relatively tiny spacecraft, which is just one quarter of the size of the space shuttles, was launched in December 2012 on a top-secret mission.
The X-37B has a payload bay approximately the size of a pickup truck bed, and it is thought to be carrying highly sensitive cargo. It began its life as a NASA project to build a small, unmanned space plane, then the project was passed over to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in 2004. A lack of funds prompted a further handover to the U.S. Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, which is continuing to manage the X-37B program.
The unmanned spacecraft can remain in orbit for much longer than the original Space Shuttles, which were limited by the requirements of the crew on board to short missions of up to 17 days.
The first X-37B launched, OTV-1, was able to orbit for 225 days; its sister plane OTV-2 doubled that time by staying in space for 469 days. Now the latest X-37B has already exceeded its predecessors and there is no indication that its mission is at an end.
So what is it doing up there?
Despite its record stay in space, no details have been released about its mission, or when it might return. The U.S. Air Force is happy to comment on the space drone as a technological achievement, but refuses to elaborate on its purpose.Consequently, rumors are rife, but the official line is that the X-37B is merely an experimental platform for "operating experiments which can be returned to, and examined, on Earth."
Brian Weeden, a former Air Force officer with the Space Command's Joint Space Operations Center and now at the Secure World Foundation, believes that the X-37B is primarily a test bed for new technologies. [...] Read the full article at: unknowncountry.com

Are holidays true? If yes, go to the audio apologizing that the service is closed. If not, call continues to the next decision point.
You could describe the above scenario in one sentence: "A caller reaches the hotline at a time when the service is open who wants to talk to support but the call times out."
So if you want to draw scenario based call flows you would need to draw nine for the scenario discussed here and it might sometimes get tough to keep an overview. Therefore, we always recommend that you draw at least one abstract overview of the call flow even though it's much easier to read the scenario flows.
But so far, we only looked at the call flow. Let's investigate how you could map automation and integrations.

The Public's Health: a symposium on public health histories
The University of Toronto's Health History Group presents:
We are pleased to announce a request for submissions on the topic "The Public's Health." This interdisciplinary conference will be of interest to anyone thinking about the history of public health from diverse, unique perspectives. The conference will take place on Friday March 6 and Saturday, March 7, 2015 at the University of Toronto. Friday will be an academic day with a series of peer-reviewed sessions on the Public's Health. Saturday will be a public day, with a series of public talks by contributors to the civic debate regarding definitions of the Public's Health, and showcasing the work of high-school students who will have been engaged in a Collaborative Public History Project (Discovering the Public's Health) during the summer and fall of 2014. A reception will be held on the Friday evening of the first day and will feature a keynote address
We encourage proposals for original papers for our academic day from individuals and groups. We invite abstracts from students and scholars in the social sciences and humanities, from those with clinical backgrounds, and from any others who are engaged in thinking about the public's health. The following areas or themes are of particular interest:
1. Who defines "the public" and therefore its health?
2. Global public health in Toronto: immigrants, refugees and visitors bring the world here and change how we think about health
3. Toronto's place in global health
4. Community engagement: its power and its complexities within the history of public health research
5. Indigenous health: Toronto's Aboriginal communities and their historical and current health practices
6. History of ethics in public health research
7. The built environment: changing views and their effects on health
8. Epidemics and pandemics through time: cholera, diphtheria, polio, SARS, H1N1, etc.
Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes, with additional time for discussion. All papers must present original, unpublished work.
Those who are interested should send an abstract of no more than 250 words to conference@torontohealthhistory.ca. Please send your submission as a Microsoft Word document. Abstracts must be received by August 31, 2014.
All submissions will be judged on their merits by the Program Committee according to the following criteria:
1. Relevance to the theme and/or priority areas
2. Organization and clarity of the abstract
3. Interest to an interdisciplinary audience
The author listed as primary contact will be notified of the committee's decision regarding their abstract submission by October 31, 2014.
About the Organizing Committee:
In 2010, a group of historians, librarians, archivists, healthcare professionals, educators and students at The University of Toronto came together as a result of their shared interest in heightening the visibility of scholars, resources and collaborative research opportunities in healthcare history at the University of Toronto. Since then, the group has grown to include representatives from the faculties of medicine, pharmacy, social work, information, occupational therapy, kinesiology and physical education, nursing, the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, Public Health Ontario, the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, and the Royal Ontario Museum. By initiating a conference in Toronto in 2012 on healthcare and its history, we had hoped to achieve four main goals: appreciating our history, building a community, fostering collaborations, and preserving our past. We are pleased to report that we achieved those goals at our first conference, "Taking Toronto's Healthcare History,, and now intend to build on them with this second conference, on "The Public's Health."

Tonight and the night before last Marmite had been shut out on her own at bedtime. Last night both Marmite and Spangle were shut out. They were both sat on top of one of the nest boxes and tonight Marmite was on top of the nest box on her own.
I felt so sorry for her. She whimpered as I went through the gate and I picked her up and placed her on the amigo's perch.
I checked on them near to bedtime last week and this is what I think is happening. It was getting dark and the bigger girls and Cinnamon and Dandelion were on the back perch. The silky girls were pecking at shavings in the pop hole and blocking it so that the amigos couldn't get in.
I don't think this is particularly intentional. They just enjoy pecking at the shavings before settling and it's by the pop hole that it's light enough for them to do this. The amigos being lower ranking have to wait for the silky girls to perch at the back before they can make their way in. By this time the door is closing.
On the day that I saw this happening two of the amigos got in in time and three got shut out. I think that because Marmite is firmly bottom girl and is timid she is the one who mostly doesn't get in in time.
All of this wouldn't happen if they went in earlier and I am not sure why they are leaving it so late. I think it is going to be inevitable that one or more girls are going to be shut out each night. I will continue to go up to them either just after the pop hole has shut or just before the pop hole shuts to make sure that they are all in.
I had wondered if I was a distraction for them and if by going to check on them later they would have more of a chance of going in but this clearly isn't the whole story. Luckily I will always be here to put them in so it's not a huge problem it's just a bit annoying that they can't work it out for themselves.
Pecking order accounts for so much in the chicken world. She is one beautiful bird – lovely feathers and lovely serama posture.
When you know chickens as we do you know that the pecking order is so important to their behaviour.
Marmite is a beautiful girl. That photo really shows her off.
Good job they have you, as their keeper. Some people would not even go up and look after dark.
With this lot I would never miss checking. I have always liked to check anyway but it's more important with these girls as they can't be relied on to get themselves in.


There are things I am proud of, accomplishments I've achieved, things I've done, skills I've acquired. I am proud when I've finished a 5k. I am proud when I've completed a project to my satisfaction.
I am not, however, proud of being American, white, straight, or a woman. I am not proud that I am a southerner. I am not ashamed of these things either. They just are. I was born this way. How does one take pride in, what George Carlin called, a genetic accident? None of these things was of my own doing. They do not make me superior in any way. Nor do they make me inferior.

Heidi Schultz, a former top staffer for Illinois Democrat Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (pictured above), is speaking out about the recording of her making racist remarks about Rockford residents.
The person Schultz accuses of recording her is Austin Quick.
"It's him, no doubt," said Schultz in an interview Thursday with WQAD-TV.
She says the comment she made was "wrong" and "inappropriate," but argues that what is more wrong and inappropriate was that she was taped. She claims it was done illegally.
"It's okay to out me," said Schultz. "They're going to protect him [Quick], but throw me under the bus? I'm disappointed that they would go to this new low of trying to go after somebody who isn't even a candidate," she said.

Q: History not visible in VSS, now what? I've been tasked with "fixing" an old VSS database. At this point in time, we are considering migrating to TFS, but for the time being, if we could get VSS back to a stable condition, it would provide some peace of mind.
We're starting to get worried that VSS is going to die on us, because when we try to view the history of any file, nothing seems to happen -- the dialogue appears to just be dismissed. That said, we don't seem to have any problems doing check outs and check ins from Visual Studio, and comparing a changed file to the latest from VSS seems to work (though I doubt this is a functionality of VSS and more of Visual Studio).
I made a backup of the project folder, and ran the Analyze utility, which said it didn't find any problems. I'm not sure what else to try. Help!

Nicolae Massim (1909–1981) was a Romanian theater director. A graduate of the School of Liberal Arts and Philosophy of the University of Cluj, Romania, and of the Institute of Theatre and Film Arts (IATC), Bucharest, he made his directorial debut staging historical plays by the renowned historian Nicolae Iorga at the Cultural League Theatre of the People's University that Iorga founded in the town of Vălenii de Munte.

Career
At the National Theatre Bucharest, Nicolae Massim made his debut as assistant director to Ion Sahighian, and during long and distinguished career with the National Theatre, Nicolae Massim directed many memorable hits such as Othello, The House of Bernarda Alba or "The Glass of Water".  In parallel with his activity at the National Theatre of Bucharest, Nicolae Massim was a professor, and for a while the dean of the Stage Directing department, within the Institute of Dramatic Arts and Cinematography (IATC) of Bucharest.

In 1945, together with Lucia Calomeri, an actress, Elena Pătrăşcanu and Lena Constante, set design artists, Nicolae Massim founded the world-famous "Ţăndărica" Marionette and Puppet Theatre of Bucharest. Recruiting a first nucleus of talented and enthusiastic puppeteers such as Dorina Tǎnǎsescu, Antigona Papazicopol and Elvira Chladek, and using the voices of reputed actors from the National Theatre of Bucharest, Nicolae Massim directed the first marionette show in Romania "With Ţăndărica to the Southern Seas". After that, throughout his entire career, Nicolae Massim remained an enthusiastic contributor to the theatre being an artistic mentor of stage director Margareta Niculescu, his former student at IATC, who in 1949 replaced Lucia Calomeri as artistic director of the theatre.

Later life
After a long and distinguished directorial and teaching career, Nicolae Massim was forced to leave the National Theatre Bucharest for political reasons and accept an artistic director position of the less prestigious "Youth Theatre". At that theatre Nicolae Massim worked with young and promising actors such as Florin Vasiliu, George Marcovici, Olga Tudorache, Mircea Anghelescu, the Ciprian brothers, the Marsellos brothers or the Sahighian sisters, contributing to establishing them as stars in memorable plays such as a stage adaptation of Dickens' David Copperfield, Schiller's The Brigands, Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, Shaw's Bunbery and many others. In addition to helping young talents achieve stardom, Nicolae Massim was also diligent to bring back to the limelight established veterans of the Romanian stage, such as Maria Filotti, who had been condemned to oblivion by the communist authorities because of their "bourgeois" origins.

The Pitch Competition at the ATX Television Festival
Waytao Shing / ATX
Heads up, TV creators: If you're sitting on the next big idea, ATX Festival is ready to hear it. The Austin-based TV festival's annual Pitch Competition is currently accepting submissions, and 10 finalists will be able to pitch their show directly to studio executives before mid-year. Submit your idea here.
"The Pitch Competition represents a collaboration with ATX, The Black List and Sundance Episodic Program that celebrates the power of story and opportunity," ATX Festival co-founder Caitlin McFarland said in a statement. "Ultimately, [co-founder Emily Gipson] and I started this competition within the festival based on the idea that access to decision-makers and building a community of mentors and fellow writers is imperative to creating television. More than any other medium, it is a community of collaboration and we wanted to build something that lasted beyond a single award or cash prize. As we go into our eighth year of the competition, we couldn't be more proud than to have seven winners who continue to write TV, support one another, and have either gotten management, sold pitches, or been staffed directly from being finalists at The Pitch Competition."

Entering its eighth edition, the Pitch Competition offers undiscovered creators a shortcut to Hollywood decision-makers. After submitting a 90-second pitch video and a five-to-10 page script sample, pitches are evaluated by Hollywood writers, executives, and more industry professionals over four rounds, including the live final phase at ATX TV Festival.
The Black List and Sundance Episodic Program serve as partners on the Pitch Competition, selecting a combined 25 finalists during the first round of competition from their own submission pools. Those selections join the 25 pitches chosen by the ATX TV Festival's open competition, before the field is narrowed to 20 semi-finalists in Round 3 and 10 finalists for the fourth and final round, which is judged live in Austin this June.
The winner will receive an opportunity to pitch their series to one of the festival's studio/network partners, a mentorship with an ATX judge or panelist, the latest script-writing software from Final Draft, and access to additional opportunities with The Black List and the Sundance Episodic Program.
Of the seven past winners, each has secured a range of industry opportunities, including securing management, multiple staffing positions on various series, and selling their pitch (which included being paid to write the pilot). Most have moved to Los Angeles and formed a supportive community among the veteran ATX champs.
Throughout the pitch competition, submissions will be judged by industry professionals, meaning writers' ideas will be read and considered by staff writers, junior executives, showrunners, studio executives, and the festival's network partners. Previous partners include FX, HBO, Hulu, Fox, Annapurna Pictures, Paramount Television, Sony Pictures Television, and more. Panelists for last year's final round included Jenny Bicks (showrunner on "Divorce"), Stephen Falk (creator and showrunner on "You're the Worst"), Sahar Vahedi (Director of Development at Blumhouse Television), and Nancy Cotton (the Executive Vice President and Head of Scripted Programming at EPIX).
Pitches are being accepted until Friday, January 17. The ATX Television Festival runs from June 4-7, 2020 in Austin. This year's full lineup is still being unveiled, but reunions for NBC's drama "Parenthood" and the FX series "Justified" have already been set. For more on this year's lineup, keep checking IndieWire; to submit to the Pitch Competition, head right here, and for more information on the festival, head to ATX's official site.

Son Tung M-TP's new music video asked to suspend distribution in country
SGGP Saturday, April 30, 2022 15:50
The Department of Performing Arts under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has asked relevant departments and agencies to discontinue the release of a new music video titled "There's no one at all" by pop star Son Tung M-TP due to its negative and sensitive image.
Son Tung M-TP in his new MV "There's no one at all"
Son Tung M-TP's first English MV contains negative and non-educational messages, scenes of violence and destruction, and ends with an image of a character committing suicide promoting negative behavior, especially violence and aggression in society and children particularly, said the Head of the Department of Performing Arts Tran Ly Ly.
According to the Deputy head of the Authority of Broadcasting, Television and Electronic Information under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Le Quang Tu Do, the unit has cooperated with the Department of Performing Arts to eliminate the videos from social platforms and impose fines for artists who violated the code of conduct for artists by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
On April 29, inspectors of the HCMC Department of Information and Communications invited Son Tung M-TP, whose real name is Nguyen Thanh Tung, to work and provide information on the music video 'There's no one at all.'
On Son Tung M-TP's official fanpage on the same day, the pop star announced he has stopped the distribution of the music product in the country.

Why don't I have rights like them?
These houses in the Karmel settlement are built on Palestinian land inside the West Bank.
Right next door to the illegal Israeli settlement of Karmel, its neat yellow houses in perfect lines, its large industrial chicken farm looming on a nearby hill, is the Bedouin village of Um al Kher. The village consists of 21 families, a total of 127 people. People living here says that before 1948 they lived in Arad, but became refugees in that year during the Israeli war of independence (the Nakba, or Catastrophe, of the Palestinian people). They purchased the land of Um al Kher and have lived on it since then. They are shepherds living a very simple life on the land. Their water comes from a pipeline that runs through the illegal settlement, which began its existence in the 1980s.
Eid, at Um al Kher, with the settlement behind us.
One family reports that last week, just before President Abbas went to the UN, the settlement cut off their water supply and electricity. Family members reported that they were told this was a threat to show what would happen to the Palestinians if Abbas went to the UN for statehood. The family has some solar panels and some water stored in the cistern. But the water they have will not be enough for the families there and the many goats as well. Nevertheless, they always make tea for visitors, sweet tea with mint. It is the custom.
We were fortunate to speak to Iman, an articulate woman of 18 who will attend university soon. One of my team members offered her a drink of water from her water bottle, but she refused, saying, "I must be ready for no water, then if there isn't water I won't mind, like in Ramadan." (Moslems keep a strict fast during daylight hours in the month of Ramadan, not drinking or eating anything from sunrise to sunset.) I found it heartbreaking to hear her comment, as if the religious observance of Ramadan could be compared to the lack of water due to someone else's stealing it. To think that the factory farm on the hillside contained chickens who got more water than these people was very disturbing to me.
When we asked Iman how she feels about the actions of the settlers, she said she felt angry. She went on to describe how, on the Sabbath, the settlers come onto the village land and stand on it to pray and to stare at the residents of the village. In addition, on many occasions, they have blocked the road so she and other young people cannot go to school.
"The land means everything to me," she said. "My grandfather and uncle are buried here….Why, why must they stop and check my car, why can't I go on my own hill…. Why don't I have rights, like them?"

Become an expert on the U.S. health care policy landscape at a top-10 graduate school in health policy and management.
The U.S. health care system is plagued with persistent challenges in access, cost, quality, and equity. Students in this concentration gain detailed insights into the complex U.S. health care system, including public health, health care delivery, payment and finance, and state and national reform efforts. Students learn the research and analytical frameworks essential for making change, and then apply those skills to issues such as health disparities and access, drug pricing, reproductive health, maternal and child health, pandemic response, and more.
Students in the health concentration combine classwork with internships, fellowships, and opportunities to work on in-house research projects, putting them in an immediate position to take their careers to the next level. Graduates of the health policy concentration regularly land jobs in national, state or municipal governments, research organizations, think tanks, foundations, not-for-profit organizations or in Congress or state legislatures. Others go on to PhD programs.
Concentration Chair: Michael Doonan, PhD'02

"Whether you want to become a researcher, a policymaker, or even the head of an agency, my hope is that the health policy concentration will open your eyes to how the U.S. health care system works and give you the skills to change it for the better."
