Marshall researchers showcase work at Digestive Disease Week
BLOG / By Dr. Uma Sundaram
Digestive Disease Week®, or DDW, is the world's largest gathering of physicians, researchers and industry in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery. It's really the pinnacle event in our field and offers a unique opportunity to showcase our research to an international audience.
Abstracts submitted for this meeting are notoriously difficult to get accepted for presentation. At this year's meeting in San Diego, we had a record eight abstracts accepted for presentation from the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine—the most presentations from Marshall ever accepted to DDW.
This milestone comes as a direct result of the increased emphasis on research both at the School of Medicine and Marshall University in recent years. We've assembled an impressive team of biomedical and clinical and translational scientists at all levels who are doing truly extraordinary work in areas of research that most impact the health and well-being of West Virginians and those throughout the Appalachian region.
What is even more remarkable is the transformational shift we're seeing in research—from faculty and students alike—at the School of Medicine. The research presented by Marshall at DDW was carried out and presented by BS/MD and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty. Their research focused on two of the most common digestive conditions in West Virginia—obesity and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)—and how intestinal nutrient absorption may be affected by these conditions in hopes of discovering novel treatments.
Subha Arthur, PhD, assistant professor of clinical and translational science, on "inducible nitric oxide mediated phosphorylation regulates the altered activity of downregulated in adenoma (DRA) in a mouse model of spontaneous ileitis" and the "Effect of farnesoid x receptor activation on bile acid absorption associated proteins in intestinal epithelial cells"
Molly Butts, PhD, 2019 PhD graduate in Biomedical Research, on "Moderate ethanol consumption inhibits villus cell brush border membrane NA-dependent nutrient absorption in the small intestine"
Jennifer Haynes, PhD, research assistant professor of clinical and translational science, on "Establishment of long-term normal human intestinal epithelial organoid cultures to study the regulation of intestinal nutrient and electrolyte transporters"
Niraj Nepal, PhD, 2019 PhD graduate in Biomedical Research, on "Mechanism of inhibition of villus cell Na/K-ATPase by PGE2 in the chronically inflamed intestine"
Balasubramanian Palaniappan, PhD, instructor of clinical and translational science, on "Unique regulation of intestinal epithelial cell NA-glucose CO-transporter SGLT1 by constitutive nitric oxide"
Soudamani Singh, PhD, assistant professor of clinical and translational science, on "Regulation of NA-glutamine CO-transport B0AT1 in villus cells during obesity"
Vijaya Sundaram, BS/MD student, on "Adipose-derived secretome (ads) mediates the stimulation of intestinal epithelial cell NA-glucose CO-transport (SGLT1) during obesity"
This research is supported by National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Veteran's Administration grants.
Uma Sundaram, MD, AGAF, is vice dean for research and graduate education at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. He is also a practicing gastroenterologist and avid researcher in the areas of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colon cancer and obesity.

Orgōne returns to Arcata Theatre in promotion of their upcoming self-release, Reasons, available this fall. Orgōne (Or-gōne). Noun. 1. A universal life force. 2. A cosmic unit of energy, the creative force in nature. 3. A soul music juggernaut with 8 heads and one heart. Now and always, Orgōne delivers dirty, organic, California soul with heart; music that grabs you by the collar, pulls you to your feet and shoves you wantingly onto the dance floor. It all started with two kids from the San Fernando Valley, whose shared affinity for gritty soul records of the 60s and 70s collided with the colorful music cultures brewing in Los Angeles during the late 90s. That friendship sparked a movement, and Orgōne has been delivering nothing but gold to the funk faithful ever since.


It's really interesting how music can knock down a wall and be an open connection between you and someone else where something else can't. When music comes along, it just opens your heart a little more.
When one door closes, another window opens.
Everybody has a world, and that world is completely hidden until we begin to inquire. As soon as we do, that entire world opens to us and yields itself. And you see how full and complex it is.
His heart was like a sensitive plant, that opens for a moment in the sunshine, but curls up and shrinks into itself at the slightest touch of the finger, or the lightest breath of wind.
I always pray for God's guidance in my life and he always provides it. He opens the right doors he shuts the right doors. And I have tremendous faith in him. He just guided my career in an amazing way.

EBOR BRASS ENSEMBLE
SPONSORED BY MARTIN GAFFNEY SOLICITORS
Norwegian Visits June 2012
We will be joining forces with Lauvstad Musikkorps which is a small brass band from the west coast of Norway to stage a joint concert in Rowntree Park, York on Sunday 24th June while they are visiting the area to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
We are also in contact with a band from Stavanger, which is also in Norway and were hoping to arrange a concert with them when they visit York in September but unfortunately, a large proportion of our band are on holiday while they are here which makes it impossible.
It was quite a surprise to be contacted by one band from Norway but a second contact from an unrelated band which is 400 miles away from the first is unbelievable!
We are proud and excited to be involved in this year's Brassed On Festival along with the bands from York Railway Institute / Golden Rail and Shepherds group brass bands
The Festival is part of the York 800 celebration and takes place in the Museum Gardens on 30/06/2012 and 01/07/2012.
We will be playing, along with the bands from York Railway Institute on Sunday 1st July 2012 from 12.00pm to 5.00pm. Our spot will be at approximately 12.45 and we will later join in with a short massed bands concert at 4.30ish. Why not pack a picnic and come along and listen? It's free!! There is a link to the Brassed On website on our links page
We joined forces with Lauvstad Musikkorps which is a small brass band from the west coast of Norway to stage a joint concert which should have been in Rowntree Park, York on Sunday 24th June while they are visiting the area to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Due to fllooding, the concert venue had to be changed to the steps outside the Castle Museum. Both bands performed very well and we were happy to join forces to play one piece of music together at the end of their set. Strong winds made for an interesting afternoon of playing hold the music stand and chase the music. They also joined us on Monday for a mass rehearsal which was thoroughly enjoyed by both bands. We are now hoping to arrange a return visit to Norway to see them next year
Two of our band members (Sandra Pearson – Flugel Horn and Iain Fell – Trombone) are proud to have volunteered (and even happier to have been accepted) to be part of the band which is providing the musical support to over 600 actors in this year's Mystery Plays. The plays are being performed in a huge 1400 seat purpose built auditorium in York's Museum Gardens from 2nd August to 27th August. For more information and to buy tickets for this amazing event go to http://www.yorkmysteryplays-2012.com/
This year is a very special year for our soprano cornet player, Dave Ventress. Dave has achieved the remarkable milestone of 50 (yes 50!!) years of service to brass banding. The photo below shows Dave being presented with a framed certificate from the Yorkshire and Humberside Brass Band Association by Ebor Brass founder Brian Henderson at one of our concerts in Parliament Street, York.
The end of last year saw the retirement from playing of long-serving band member Mike Lucas due to health problems. Mike started playing aged 11 on the south coast of England and has played with several bands around the country before settling in York; he has been a stalwart member of Ebor Brass for over 20 years and has played virtually every instrument in the band during this time. In his early days with the band, he played euphonium and baritone and dabbled a bit on trombone. When his health deteriorated and he did not have the puff to fill the bigger instruments, he moved to tenor horn before finishing his playing career on cornet.
During the band's leaner years, when we were short of players, Mike was well known for taking music home and rewriting his part to fill in the bits that were missing. His final comment to the band was that it was sad to have to leave when the band is so close to achieving a full complement of players and was improving rapidly.
Mike was presented with an engraved pocket-watch and a set of cufflinks in the shape of a cornet at his last practise at St. Barnabas Church, Leeman Road on 21st November 2012 by band founder Brian Henderson..
Ebor brass founder and conductor celebrates 50 years service to brass banding this year. The photo shows Brian being presented with a certificate from the Yorkshire and Humberside Brass Band Association by lifelong friend and soprano cornet player Dave Ventress.
Brian started playing at the York Railway Institute when he was aged 11, where he was taught by the late Fred Holmes. When Fred retired, Brian "inherited" his teaching role and has taught 100's of budding musicians to play various brass instruments in the last 50 years including Craig Brown who was the Musical Director of last year's York Mystery Plays. For more details of Brian's musical career, please see our band History page
Ebor Brass joined forces with the White Star Band from Malton to play at the reception of Iain & Sandra (now Mr and Mrs Fell, who play with both bands. Both bands gave a fantastic 2 hour performance for guests at the reception on 3rd August. The newly weds also played individual solos and an unacompanied duet
The end of last year saw the retirement from playing of long-serving band member Mike Lucas due to health problems. Sadly, Mike passed away peacefully in hospital at 1.10pm on Friday 4th October this year. During his last few days, Mike asked if the band could record a rehearsal of Suite Gothique, one of his favourite pieces of band music. We were pleased and honoured to be able to do this and also to send him 2 CDs and a DVD of previous performances which he listened to whilst in hospital.
Mike started his long playing career at the age of 11 on the south coast of England and played with several bands around the country before settling in York. He joined our band soon after and was a stalwart member of Ebor Brass for over 20 years, during this time, he played virtually every instrument in the band. In his early days with Ebor Brass; he played euphonium and baritone and dabbled a bit on trombone. When his health deteriorated and he did not have the puff to fill the bigger instruments, he moved to tenor horn before finishing his playing career on cornet. Mike was a true bandsman, always putting the needs of the band first. He appreciated that all parts within a band are of equal importance and would play any part he was asked to, even if it was what some players would think of as a step down. His final move was from Solo Horn to 3rd cornet to allow a newcomer to take the Solo Horn seat. Even after this change, he would occasionally move forward to the Solo Cornet bench when the regular solo players were not available and then happily slip back to his normal slot when they returned.
During the band's leaner years, when we were short of players, Mike was well known for taking music home and rewriting his own part to fill in others that were missing. His music often resembled a mosaic, with various hand written bits stuck to the printed parts. After Mike was presented with an engraved pocket-watch and a set of cufflinks in the shape of a cornet when he retired from playing in November last year, his final comment to the band was that it was sad to have to leave when the band was so close to achieving a full complement of players and was improving rapidly.
The band will played their final farewell to Mike with a short selection of his favourite music at his funeral on 22 October at West Thorpe Methodist Church, Dringhouses.
Ebor Brass was proud to be able to provide a small band of 5 musicians to accompany the hymns and to play the Last Post and Reveille at the district war memorial near St. Barnabas Church on Leeman Road. The photo below shows Austin & Sheila Barnett (front row cornets) and Sandra Fell (Flugel horn) at the memorial.

NPR's succession plan put Slocum at the top
When NPR general counsel Joyce Slocum took over after Vivian Schiller's March departure, "the move was sudden, but not unscripted," notes Law.com. In 2009 NPR's board of directors drew up a succession plan that designated Slocum as the replacement if Schiller left unexpectedly. Carol Cartwright, vice-chair of NPR's board, says one of the main attractions was that Slocum didn't want the job. "We did not want an interim c.e.o. who would be actively pursuing the role on a permanent basis," Cartwright says.

There's a new exhibition in the Western GM Gallery at the Badlands Community Facility.
The East Central Alberta juried artists exhibit was put together by the Alberta Society of Artists, for whom Lind Craddock is the Provincial Exhibitions Chair.
"We would like to draw in more people from the outlying areas of Alberta, so we created the Best of East Central exhibition and asked people within a certain radius to apply," she explained. "It was an opportunity for them to get their work out, possibly people that don't usually get their work out into the public."
"We're a not for profit charitable organization and our mandate has to do with art education and professionalism in the arts," she outlined. "We really do wantt to get more people, more artists, to engage in public art on a more professional level; that's what we do."
Craddock was happy to come to the Canadian Badlands because of the many local talented arists and the incredible subject matter.
"It's such a beautiful landscape for one thing," she raved. "Most of the work here is landscape, with the exception of a couple of more abstract ones, but most of it is landscape, not surprizingly."
The Best of East Central exhibition opened on Saturday at the BCF and will be here through June 29.


A wok, a round-bottom and now also available flat-bottom, bowl-shaped pan used for centuries in Chinese kitchens. This unique-shaped pan was designed out of necessity to conserve on fuel because a wok conducts heat very efficiently; uses up little kitchen space since a wok takes the place of many pots and pans. With your wok you can stir-fry, steam, braise, sauté, simmer, deep fat-fry, stew and even smoke.
The advantage of using a wok rather than a skillet or dutch oven is that the flared sides and depth permit rapid tossing of many ingredients and the use of a minimum of oil. The bottom of the wok gets extremely hot and the sides remain cool, thus, the food is cooked in the bottom and tossed to the sides; with this constant motion, vegetables are cooked just right…in the hot bottom, then tossed to the cool sides--quickly, efficiently, nutritiously!
Do you need wok ring ($2.95) to stabilize your round bottom wok on the stove?

Pyle, Rattlers Sweep Past TAMIU, 12-4, 13-8
Home » News » Pyle, Rattlers Sweep Past TAMIU, 12-4, 13-8
San Antonio – Cody Pyle had four hits and drove in six runs to lead the way as St. Mary's University swept past Texas A&M International University, 12-4, 13-8, in Heartland Conference baseball action Friday at V.J. Keefe Memorial Stadium.
Pyle (Sr., Spring Branch) went 2-of-3 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in game one, then followed that up by going 2-of-4 with a grand slam homerun, four RBI and two runs scored in the second game. Michael Pawelek (Sr., San Antonio) and Michael Brzezinski (So., Helotes) each had four hits, while Jason Davila (Sr., Boerne) added five hits, including a homerun.
In the opening game Michael Villarreal (So., Eagle Pass) had his first complete game of the season, allowing just two earned runs on eight hits and four walks, while striking out six in seven innings. He improved to 3-1 with the win. Adam Zorzit fell to 3-4, taking the loss for the Dustdevils.
The Rattlers broke the game open early with 10 runs over the first two innings and were never headed after that. Ricky Gonzalez (Jr., Houston), Brzezinski and Jonathon Cisneros (Fr., San Antonio) each had homeruns in the seven-run second inning that put the game out of reach early.
In the second game Brzezinski hit his second homerun of the doubleheader – a three-run shot – to put the Rattlers up early. They put the game away with eight runs in the fifth inning, keyed by Pyle's grand slam, his team-leading eighth of the season.
That helped to make a winner of Zach Kucera (Jr., Spring). Kucera improved to 3-2 on the season, allowing five runs on seven hits and seven walks, while striking out six in seven innings of work. Jeremy Wilhelm took the loss, falling to 2-1 on the season.
With the sweep the Rattlers improved to 18-7 overall, while TAMIU fell to 16-9-1. The teams will complete their three-game series on Saturday at noon with a single game at V.J. Keefe Memorial Stadium.

Australia Post LOSE ashes belonging to slain teenage boy
On January 13, 2021 by Xoonews.com
Parents fume after Australia Post LOSE ashes belonging to their slain teenage son – sparking painful four-month search to find his precious remains
Belinda Beasley sent her son Jack's ashes to a memorial business in Victoria
Ms Beasley, from the Gold Coast, planned on turning the ashes into a ring
Weeks passed and Ms Beasley learned that the parcel never arrived in Victoria
Jack died after he was allegedly stabbed in the heart by a gang of youths in 2019
By Alana Mazzoni For Daily Mail Australia
Parents mourning the loss of their slain teenage son are fuming after Australia Post lost his ashes.
Belinda Beasley, from the Gold Coast, sent a few grams of her son Jack's ashes to a memorial business in Healesville, 50kms north east of Melbourne, in August.
Jack, 17, died after he was allegedly stabbed in the heart by a gang of youths while walking through Surfers Paradise with friends in December 2019.
Weeks passed and Ms Beasley learned the parcel never arrived in Victoria.
Above and Beyond Funerals, who planned Jack's service, and his parents spent the next four months desperately trying to track down the missing package.

Ms Beasley said she was 'devastated' and in disbelief by Australia Post's blunder.
'I was beside myself. I was supposed to do it at the beginning of the year but I kept on putting it off. I kept thinking what happens if it gets lost … and then it happened,' she told the Gold Coast Bulletin.
'It's not good enough, but I got him back that's the main thing. I don't want anyone to get into trouble or anything like that but maybe they just need to take a little bit of care with all their packages because you never know what's actually in there.'
A few days before Christmas, Ms Beasley was finally reunited with her son's missing ashes.
Funeral director Rebecca Bailey, who helped the family try to track down the package for weeks, said Ms Beasley broke down in tears every time they spoke about the ordeal.

Australia Post on Wednesday apologised to the family, and an urgent investigation into the incident was launched
'Each time we tried a different avenue it would come up that there was no record of it. Somewhere along the line he (the parcel) hadn't been scanned in,' she said.
On December 5 the package was finally located and had actually arrived in Healesville.
However, the tracking number wasn't traceable and the family still doesn't know how it got there.
A week later the ring was sent back to the Gold Coast, but Ms Beasley opted not to go through Australia Post and instead brought it back by a funeral service.
Australia Post on Wednesday apologised to the family, and an urgent investigation into the incident was launched.

which would cascade from the sky, with every roaring thunder.
Your heart would skip a beat, with every breaking sound.
You take a deep breath, it's just a storm. Nothing to worry about.
Everyone in the house has long been asleep.
Why tonight, of all nights, are you the only one still awake?
Left alone with only your thoughts and the sounds of the rain.
It's getting fainter now, perhaps the storm is going to pass, you think.
At least you hope so anyway.
You peek outside, at least the moon is starting to come out.
Maybe there will be some light to this night, after all.
Something is terribly wrong, but you can't put your finger on it.
and for a moment, you think you hear something.
You're quiet for a moment,waiting to hear it again.
But all you hear is the sounds of your own breath.
Your mind is just playing tricks on you again.
It's just in your head. Get a hold of yourself.
But you can't shake these feelings, no matter how hard you try.
Just then, a door closes from what sounds like the other room.
What was that? Is someone awake?
You decide to investigate. You must be crazy, anyway.
This can't be happening for real, can it?
But it's like you're driven to know….
Or that everything isn't just inside your head.
The hall is dark and chillingly cold.
Now you can't help but feel really, really alone.
You open up the first door.
A few more steps to the next room.
Wait, a minute. Where did everybody go?
They were here not too long ago.
Why did they leave without saying goodbye?
You walk up to last door, praying that you can find them in there.
You start to slowly turn the handle. Nice and easy, you say.
You can hear the door creak as the old wood rumbles against the floor.
Out of the corner of your eye, you see it.
But the light begins to get a little brighter.
Your legs start trembling, you can't help it.
She's facing away from you now, staring out the window into the night.
Hello? Who are you? Hello?!?!?
You're braver than you give yourself credit for sometimes.
She doesn't utter any words, but you can hear her crying.
She turns her head slightly to the side, her reflection is now more visible than before.
You watch the tears roll down her face.
She looks shockingly familiar, though.
What's wrong? How did you get in here? Where is everyone?
You are starting to get irritated.
Why won't she answer you?
She finally turns around and comes face to face.
It's you, but it's not you.
She runs her cold, clammy hands across your cheek.
You say you don't understand.
I am the ghost of the girl you once were, she says.
The girl who once dreamed the most amazing dreams.
And knew she could do anything she put her mind to.
It still doesn't make sense. What is she talking about?
She guides you to the window, again, you look outside.
when you were up all night, wanting it all to end.
It's not that easy to forget that kind of pain.
So tired of feeling so lost, alone, and invisible.
I don't know how to say this, she says.
That night was a full moon.
A blood moon at that.
and that you wanted it all to end.
And now we are just ghosts.
That's not what you wanted, you cry out.
You just wanted to feel better.
To have a break from the pain, from the sickness.
One moment of peace, you said.
You didn't choose to be sick in the first place.
Like being invisible wasn't hard enough.
Now you're invisible and a ghost.
And nobody believes in ghosts.
It's alright, she says, calm down.
Being a ghost is going to be hard, but it's not the end.
You'll just have to fight even harder than you ever have before.
To find a way to have your voice heard.
To not be forgetten in this world.
Remember, you are stronger than you give yourself credit for.
There will always be the ones who doubt you, she says.
That don't believe in you.
Go ahead and let them not believe.
For you will learn quickly to haunt all the walls of this world.
doesn't mean that it's not real.
You ask her if she'll be coming with you on these adventures.
Sorry, no, she's afraid not.
She's just a memory now, anyways.
but to help us to remember that life can be worth living for.
To keep up the fight and keep going.
A reason to go bump in the night.

Our body's protein requirement increases considerably when we lift weights. Majority of the protein supplements available today are dairy based, although more people are switching to plant based proteins because of dairy intolerance's.
Protein powder can be very useful if you aren't getting enough of this vital macronutrient from whole food, and it can be equally as helpful if you just want the convenience of having access to a good protein source that, unlike food sources, won't spoil too easily.
In addition to straight protein, a lot of manufacturers strengthen and better their products with minerals, vitamins, fats, fibre, grains, greens and/or thickeners. Known as meal replacement powders (or MRPs), protein powders that are made in this way contain considerable amounts of fats and carbs.
What are the benefits of taking protein powders?
Ensuring a high level of protein intake should play an important role in the lifestyle of all sportspeople. It is very important for the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, and it's for these reasons that it's considered an important source of nutrients for all that's involved in fitness and sports.

There is a view that politics is not so much a spectrum as a circle. The conventional idea of two polarised extremes of right and left wing with a middle ground comprising of liberal conservatives and social democrats often does not work in practice. In many cases the extremes of both right and left can be so similar in their means of pursuing their ideologies that they become basically the same thing.
Much of this thesis is based on the experience of the 20th century and the witnessing of the left wing dream of the Communist revolution in Soviet Russia and how it turned so completely into an authoritarian regime as controlling and repressive as any extreme right wing military dictatorship in history.
Political conservatives have used the Soviet model as evidence to say that socialism could never work because of human nature. Whatever ideals we have to begin with, the view is that " power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely ". This view has been used to undermine and defeat many socialist political groupings throughout the Western world and the Labour party in the UK has been held in check by its widespread recognition.
Astrology would not have a view about this theory of history apart from the general one that it is very dangerous and misleading to make all encompassing political statements because each situation is different. Every political struggle and every leader has their own chart.
In order to have a good understanding of the astrology of politics we have to look at Saturn and Uranus. For millennia, the solar system was believed to stop at Saturn. The simple reason for this is that the ringed planet is the furthest one from the Earth that is visible with the naked eye and so everyone assumed that it was the last planet. As such it was always seen as the planet of limitation, the end of all things. It is a restraining influence, the only thing that prevents us flying off into the unknown uncharted territory of space. In many ways it's obstructing influence is for our own good, its job is to teach us to recognised our limits and to work with them applying a level of focus and discipline that would ultimately enable us to grow. The positives of Saturn are all found through acceptance of limitation and hard work which in the end creates achievement.
The negatives, however are numerous. When Saturn is conjunct important planets in a chart the individual can frequently accept its teaching role as it tends to work from within the person so they would be inclined towards restraint and self discipline. When Saturn is in opposition or square aspect these impositions and obstructions appear to come from the outside and other people and there is a tendency to fight against them to a much greater degree. A repressive external authority is held to blame for curtailing the individual's freedom to act as they wish.
This is an interesting take on it, because we all have to have a Saturn, without it we would be floating around in a kind of anarchic state and there would be no need for discipline of any sort. Some people, because of other features in their own charts would find it difficult to impose this discipline on themselves so therefore it has to be forced on them by others. So we blame Saturn for our troubles.
Saturn has been known as the " Greater Malefic ". Ultimately it was known as the planet of death, the Grim Reaper, the final limitation of life.
In a political sense it has always been conservative and when in difficult aspect in can be a powerful force for reactionary movements. It is the planet of authority, the thing that tells us to stop.
In 1781, scientific breakthroughs with the use of primitive telescopes enabled another planet to be discovered. Because this was such a radical development, Uranus has always been seen as the planet of revolution, of breaking through barriers that were previously considered impenetrable. It completely shatters all of the previous assumptions and points to new possibilities and a totally new direction in life.
Uranus' whole purpose is to destroy the assumptions of Saturn and open up new undreamt of possibilities.
Whenever a new planet is discovered, the impact on the human race would be enormous. Uranus' discovery heralded a time of immense change including the American and French revolutions. The idea of democracy as an actual method of government took hold during this period. This was also the time that the Industrial Revolution completely changed the old feudal landscape and the seeds for the emergence of socialism were beginning to be sown.
Just as Saturn is the planet of the conservative right, Uranus is the representative of the left. As Saturn in difficult aspects is a reactionary force, Uranus with hard contacts would be revolutionary one.
They naturally pull in opposite directions but what would happen in a chart that contained both ? The chart for the Soviet Russia, constructed for the moment that Lenin's Bolsheviks took power in 1917 is an intriguing example.
This chart has already been discussed in an article on Karl Marx, but it clearly shows both Uranus and Saturn in opposition. An opposition means that two completely opposite views or themes will have to be expressed in the life of the person or country that the chart belongs to.
In the Soviet Russia chart, Uranus is in its own sign Aquarius. This is the simplest astrological symbol of the socialist ideal of the classless society where everyone lives in harmony and equality.
Leo is the opposite sign to Aquarius, and it is symbolically linked to the divine right to rule of Kings. Saturn is in Leo and this represents the complete opposite to Uranus, it is an authoritarian and autocratic rulership.
As individuals we all like to identify with the positive parts of our chart and we try to put all our energies in those directions. If we have oppositions, however we are forced to deal with two divergent principles. Even if we try our hardest to focus on one end of the opposition, the other planet will constantly assert itself and force us to deal with its pull as well.
There is a saying " Every stick has two ends " and an opposition aspect is a difficult force to handle until we accept that we have to express both ends of it, however complicated that might be.
Much of the Marxist theory was based on a Hegelian understanding of opposites. The creation of a bourgeois class of wealthy individuals together with an urban proletariat doing all the work meant that for Karl Marx revolution was inevitable. Two such divergent poles create a tension and energy between them that inevitably results in an explosion.
In Astrology, if two planets are opposite each other and another is square to both of them we have a formation called a T Square. The tensions and challenges between the planets in opposition are forced to be expressed through the third, ( apex ) planet.
In the Soviet Russia chart this apex planet is the Sun, so the result of this challenge between the forces of reaction ( Saturn in Leo ) and socialist ideals ( Uranus in Aquarius ) is revolution ( Sun in Scorpio ). So the chart neatly explains the events of Autumn 1917.
The trouble is that the chart for the Bolshevik takeover of power would also hold for the whole future of the Soviet regime, so the opposition between Saturn and Uranus that forced the revolution in the first place would continue to hold sway over the new world order.
Lenin and his followers would undoubtedly want to identify with the socialist ideals and equality of Uranus in Aquarius, but would be forced to take on the authoritarian dictatorship of Saturn in Leo as well. This was rationalised by Marx's own view that in order to proceed towards a utopian ideal, a dictatorship of the proletariat would have to be put in place to begin with.
The only problem with that is that Saturn would not go away and neither would the dictatorship.
Its interesting that Neptune was also loosely involved in this T square. Neptune is conjunct Saturn and although technically out of range to be opposite Uranus, it does have an impact.
Neptune's role in life and in politics is to blur the distinctions between things. Like all of the post Saturn planets it represents change, but it is change of a very unclear nature. Neptune is basically a spiritual planet whose aim is to erode the differences between mankind. It is eminently suited to the worlds of religion or arts as it brings visions and inspiration, but its role in politics seems to be largely delusory or undermining, particularly when the aspects are difficult.
Neptune's role in conjunction to Saturn in the Soviet chart seems to suggest a delusion that the dictatorship would inevitably melt away. In fact it helped to sustain the Soviet Union by creating the illusion ( Neptune ) that it was not authoritarian ( conjunct Saturn ).
The Dissolution of the Soviet Union came when Pluto transited to the T square, conjunct the Sun and square to the Saturn / Uranus opposition in 1989.
Pluto is a planet of revolution but unlike Uranus, it is not a political left wing force. It causes revolutions for its own sake or because that is what is required by the time. The results of a Pluto explosion can be a movement in either a right or a left direction politically. The impact however is generally more powerful than that of Uranus as it sweeps away the ground completely in order for an utterly new order to begin.
Uranus revolutions are often predictable given the Saturnian conditions that existed before them. Pluto is the planet of atomic change and its revolutions are quite unpredictable as if they are quantum jumps coming from a parallel universe.
So the year 1989 marked a revolution in Eastern Europe, with the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Empire. Many of the old despised regimes met their downfalls but its arguable that none of these would be celebrated as much as the end of Nicolae Ceasescu.
Ceausescu was a Romanian politician, an indestructible dictator for 24 years and one of history's mass murderers.
Born 3 months after the Russian revolution he was a classic example of the notion that power corrupts. The Sun in Aquarius conjunct Venus and Uranus in the 10th house would portray the popular socialist leader that Ceausescu really wanted to be. The fact that the Venus and Uranus are in exact conjunction at the apex of a Tsquare meant that he was destined for high office.
There are some problems however. His Aquarian Sun is opposite the same Saturn / Neptune conjunction that was so important in the Soviet chart, so his idealism would be countered by the same authoritarian delusions.
His T Square is based on an opposition between the Moon in Scorpio and Jupiter. A Scorpio Moon is the most intense and manipulative planetary placing and when its aspects are difficult, it is an indication of someone who is extremely ruthless and prepared to sink to any depths in order to get their own way. The opposition to Jupiter would simply magnify these tendencies.
Ceausescu also has an exact Mars / Pluto square aspect which is probably the one most likely to result in acts of violence.
So to say that Nicolae Ceausescu was a complex character with a number of vastly different astrological influences on his character and life would be a great understatement.
As always Pluto's transits to the Sun cover the two watershed moments of his life. The first one was the opposition from 1947 – 50 when the Communists seized power in Romania in 1947, Ceausescu was made minister of agriculture, and then deputy minister of the armed forces under Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, becoming a major-general.
The second one was the square aspect in 1989 when his tyranny reached its end and he was overthrown and executed.
It would be simple to leave it there but the other transits during his life make interesting commentaries on how a socialist idealist and anti fascist freedom fighter turned into one of the most repressive dictators in history.
Ceaușescu was one of the ten children of a poor peasant family. The first transit of note in his life was Neptune's square to his Moon / Jupiter opposition when at the age of 11, he ran away ( Jupiter ) from his abusive, alcoholic ( Neptune ) father ( Moon ).
Pluto was opposite his Mercury from 1931 – 5, which brought about a powerful change ( Pluto ) to his thinking ( Mercury ). He joined the Communist Party in 1932 and was first arrested in 1933, at the age of 15 for street fighting during a strike and again, in 1934, for collecting signatures on a petition protesting the trial of railway workers The Romanian secret police already had named him as "a dangerous Communist agitator" and "distributor of Communist and antifascist propaganda materials".
Ceausescu's chart is arranged in a way that all the major significators fall within certain areas, an 18 degree band in the Fixed signs between Saturn at 10 Leo and the Moon at 28 Scorpio. This could be extended a further 10 degrees to include Jupiter and the Ascendant.
The effect of this arrangement in terms of transits would mean that a transiting planet would have an extended period of influence as it moved through the second and third decanate ( a 10 degree span ) of the Fixed signs.
So such a period of time would be strongly coloured by the planet doing the transits. Therefore Ceausescu's life would be deeply affected by these different phases.
The period between 1935 and 45 was dominated by the idealistic Uranus as it transited square Neptune / Saturn and the Sun / Venus, opposite the Moon and conjunct Jupiter and his Ascendant.
During this period he was constantly involved in revolutionary and anti fascist activity and spent much of the time in prisons and internment camps during the war where he shared a cell with Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, becoming his protégé.
The period after the war between 1945 and 1957 was dominated by Pluto as it transited opposite to his Sun / Venus / Uranus and square to the Moon. This was particularly strong in 1947 and 48 as Pluto and Saturn were opposite the Sun.
Pluto and Saturn are essentially about power so its no surprise that the left wing antifascist rebel was given his first taste of office and respectability under this transit.
The Communists seized power in Romania in 1947 and Ceausescu was head of the ministry of agriculture, then served as deputy minister of the armed forces under Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, becoming a major-general.
In 1952, Gheorghiu-Dej brought him onto the Central Committee months after the party's "Muscovite faction" led by Ana Pauker had been purged. In 1954, he became a full member of the Politburo and eventually rose to occupy the second-highest position in the party hierarchy.
Pluto was square his Scorpio Moon in 1955 when he was made a full-time member of the Politburo, and was soon managing the party's organization structure and cadres. So Pluto's transits had marked the full transition from revolutionary to pillar of the establishment and a position of great power in Romania.
The next planet to transit the main part of his chart was Neptune between 1964 and 1975, square his Sun / Venus / Uranus , conjunct his Moon and opposite Jupiter and Ascendant.
When Neptune was square his Sun in 1965, Gheorghiu-Dej died and Ceausescu was elected general secretary. He was not the obvious choice but amid widespread infighting among older and more connected officials the Politburo turned to Ceaușescu as a compromise candidate.
The Neptune period was intriguing as there was a constant shifting of position which made Ceausescu's regime more amenable to the Western powers and had the effect of creating some distance between Romania and Soviet Russia. Ceausescu created a distinct national identity for Romania but it was all part of consolidating his position. So despite his appearing to be more open in foreign policy terms the net effect of this period was to set up the conditions that created his own dictatorship.
One of his first acts was to change the name of the party from the Romanian Workers' Party back to the Communist Party of Romania, and declare the country a socialist republic rather than a people's republic. In 1967, he consolidated his power by becoming president of the State Council (head of state).
A series of official visits to Western countries helped Ceaușescu to present himself as a reforming Communist, pursuing an independent foreign policy within the Soviet Bloc.
Whilst this appeal to the West was going on however, Ceaușescu had become particularly interested in the cultural national transformation of North Korea and China. He was also inspired by the personality cults of North Korea's Kim Il-sung and China's Mao Zedong.
In July 1971, he issued the July Theses which proposed the continuous growth in the "leading role" of the Party, improvement of Party education and of mass political action, youth participation on large construction projects as part of their "patriotic work", an intensification of political-ideological education in schools and universities, as well as in children's, youth and student organizations and an expansion of political propaganda, orienting radio and television shows to this end, as well as publishing houses, theatres and cinemas, opera, ballet, artists' unions, promoting a "militant, revolutionary" character in artistic productions. An index of banned books and authors was established.
This is the problem with the difficult aspects of Neptune. Something that can appear to be highly inspiring and idealistic can in fact be very deceptive and result in the exact opposite.
The Theses heralded the beginning of a "mini cultural revolution" in Romania. Although presented in terms of "Socialist Humanism", they marked a movement towards a strict ideological conformity in the humanities and social sciences. Culture became an instrument for political-ideological propaganda and hardline measures.
In 1974, Ceaușescu made himself President. Although he had been head of state since 1965, he had merely been first among equals. The new post, however, made him the nation's top decision-maker who could appoint and dismiss the president of the Supreme Court and the prosecutor general. From Neptune's opposition to his Ascendant in 1974 onward Ceaușescu basically ruled by decree.
Between 1982 and 84, the hardline position was reinforced by another Saturn transit, this time square his Sun / Venus / Uranus conjunct his Moon and opposite Jupiter and the Ascendant. Under this influence Ceaușescu's regime became increasingly brutal and repressive. His secret police maintained strict controls over speech and the media, and internal dissent was not tolerated. In 1982, with the goal of paying off Romania's large foreign debt, Ceaușescu ordered the export of much of the country's agricultural and industrial production. The resulting extreme shortages of food, fuel, energy, medicines, and other basic necessities drastically lowered living standards and intensified unrest.
Ceaușescu's regime was also marked by nepotism and many of the senior posts in Romania found their way into his family's hands.
During the early days of the Russian Revolution there was much debate about whether it was possible to establish " Socialism in one Country " or whether the whole world would have to to join in because the idealistic system could be easily undermined by foreign powers.
In Ceausescu's Romania there was a joke about the President establishing " Socialism in one Family ".
Even at this peak of personal power the seeds of Ceausescu's downfall were discernible. A coup d'état was planned in October 1984 but failed when the military unit assigned to carry out the plan was sent to harvest maize instead.
If Saturn's transit had established a real authoritarian power base for Ceausescu, Pluto's second appearance took it to a level of obscenity that brought about his downfall.
Pluto came to square Neptune and Saturn in 1986 to 88. Under this influence food rationing was introduced and heating, gas and electricity blackouts became the rule. During the 1980s, there was a steady decrease in the Romanian population's standard of living and Ceaușescu shut down all radio stations outside of the capital, and limited television to one channel broadcasting only two hours a day.
Ceausescu was out of step with the developments in Russia. He was firmly against glasnost and perestroika and the Soviet leader Gorbachev made no secret of his distaste for Ceaușescu, whom he called "the Romanian führer." Gorbachev told Ceausescu "You are running a dictatorship here".
The forces of opposition were increasing not just in Romania but throughout Eastern Europe and the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the domino effect throughout the Communist bloc was triggered by Pluto's conjunction to the Soviet Russia Sun.
Pluto was also square Nicolae Ceausescu's Sun so his days were numbered. The regime collapsed after he ordered his security forces to fire on antigovernment demonstrators, killing and injuring men, women and children, in the city of Timișoara on 17 December 1989. The demonstrations spread to Bucharest and became known as the Romanian Revolution, which was the only violent overthrow of a Communist government during the revolutions of 1989.
Ceaușescu and his wife, Elena, fled Bucharest but were captured by the armed forces. On 25 December the couple were hastily tried and convicted on charges of genocide and sabotage of the Romanian economy. They were both executed by firing squad.
With the Sun conjunct Uranus in Aquarius opposite Saturn and square the Moon in Scorpio it's possible for one man to be both freedom fighter and repressive dictator.
The transits of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto showed the transition from one extreme to the other. Uranus showed us the anti fascist rebel, Saturn pointed to the authoritarian leader, Neptune showed how the transition from one to the other was veiled with idealistic deception and Pluto, as usual, took the whole thing to extremes and finally finished him off.
Nicolae Ceausescu's life confirms the saying in politics that " Saturn power corrupts but Pluto power corrupts absolutely ".


For Shoppe Keep on the PlayStation 4, GameFAQs has 27 trophies.... Once placed on the farm the Craftshop cannot be deleted, at least at this stage unless using an iDevice but it can be stored. With the changings from July, 2011 the Craftshop can now be expanded up to 6 product stations and you can have 1 Craftshop on each farm.
Keep in mind that the farm you buy is like all our other dealings � you look for the solid, but �unwashed�. You search for the place that is basically sound, but that has fallen into disrepair. Ideally, you will find a farm that is around 160 acres, belonged to an alcoholic son of a good farmer; one which has a good sound barn and house built by the father, but has fallen into shambles... This one is a bit different than the Name/Initial Christmas glass decal. It's a set of Merry Christmas' These would look so beautiful on a Christmas Table.

Jason is the head butcher at Heatherlea Farm Shoppe, the new on-farm market opened in Caledon this spring by Pat and Gord McArthur. He wields his knife with ease, showing me and my fellow workshop participants how he portions the poultry displayed in the shop�s 18-foot meat counter behind us.


That's when I saw it – the thing that had scared Evan. It was … a dog, maybe? But massive. As black as night. And with red, glowing eyes. If it weren't for the eyes, I might have mistaken it for a werewolf. Well, that, and the fact that the moon hadn't risen. Wolves didn't turn when the sun went down, only when the moon rose. It wasn't even the full moon; I would never have left Ana with Scott if it were.
The monstrous thing lunged for Jim, a thirty-something man in very good shape who couldn't seem to outrun it. It tore at the backs of his legs, drawing blood and sending Jim sprawling to the ground on hands and knees.
I couldn't move, and not because Evan's power still held me. That thing was about two seconds from eating Jim, a man I happened to like and who I knew had a wife and two kids at home.
A strangled yell emerged from Jim's throat. Guns blazed – I hadn't even noticed Frank and Sheriff Adams drawing their weapons. The beast growled, momentarily losing interest in Jim as it fixed those demon eyes on the two men trying to fill it with lead.
Then, suddenly, it was in the air, flying backwards through the trees and out of sight.
The guns went quiet but the sheriff and his deputy continued to run toward their fallen comrade. Evan stood stock still, staring into the woods, arms raised and waiting. Listening.
Suddenly, the sound of a canine howling filled the air.
