If you’re about to experience an Algol eclipse, here’s what you should do. First, equip yourself with a clipboard, pencil, red-filter flashlight, and a watch or smartphone to keep track of time. The clipboard should contain a blank sheet of paper and a copy of the Algol Terrain Chart to the left. Then use the attached chart to select a date and time for an upcoming eclipse. From start to finish, each eclipse lasts approximately 10 hours. Fortunately, Algol is almost at its maximum brightness in the first and last hours of the eclipse. You’ll catch most of the action by starting your sightings three hours before mid-eclipse and continuing for another three hours after.

Get out about 10-15 minutes before this time to adjust your eyes to the dark and familiarize yourself with the location of Algol and the surrounding comparison stars. Their magnitudes are marked in green on the Algol field graph. When you’re ready, make an initial estimate of Algol’s magnitude. Simply find a nearby star whose luminosity is equal to that of Algol and write down the time and magnitude. Don’t worry about accuracy; the data you collect is for your eyes only. Your goal is simply to document the behavior of an eclipse variable. While most visual observers of Algol-like variables make their estimates every 10-15 minutes, you’ll get decent results checking every 20-30 minutes. After going inside, plot a graph of your data using time as the X axis and magnitude as the Y axis. When you connect these points, you will have created a light curve of the Algol eclipse. Pretty cool, huh?

If you only have time for a quick glance, estimate Algol’s magnitude a few hours before an expected low. Then, when it is close to its maximum brightness, repeat at the time of mid-eclipse. You will be amazed at the difference!

If your experience with Algol piques your interest in variable stars, I encourage you to learn more about this rewarding activity. Your best source is the AAVSO website (www.aavso.org), where you’ll find a handy guide for beginners and a list of easy-to-watch variables.

Questions, comments or suggestions? Email me at [email protected]. Next month: A final bow. Clear sky!

Ram: Today’s romantic outlook can be a bit shaky. You might be surprised by how you feel if you’ve been in an optimistic period. Tempers can flare up and cool down unexpectedly. Your lover may not know whether or not to offer you a passionate embrace. You should explain your mixed feelings and reassure them that everything will be fine shortly.

Bull: You are conflicted about how you feel about the person you have admired for so long. You used to be head over heels in love, but now you’re starting to notice flaws in what was once an ideal relationship. Stay strong and you will find love again. Maybe some time apart can help you sort through your emotions and make peace. Think about it!

Gemini: It’s the perfect time to finally invite that special someone you’ve been secretly courting for some time to that romantic social gathering you’ve been planning with your closest friends. Expect authenticity, friendliness and candid conversation during this interaction. If you tell that person what you think of them, you will see the walls crumble and love fill the void.

Cancer: Your significant other might not be able to fulfill all of your desires right now. As you prepare for your next move, they may feel left out and unhappy. Maybe you’ve been too spread out to give your partner the attention they want right now. You shouldn’t be in such a rush; there is no prize for being the first to finish.

Leo: Today, do everything you can to avoid any fight, no matter how small, that could leave a sour taste in either of your mouths. Today, focus on the long-term happiness you seek and practice forgiveness and patience. If you allow small disagreements between you, it will only increase discontent and decrease trust. Do not react to any situation and remain calm at all costs.

Virgin: It would be a wonderful time for you and your partner to collaborate and work together on a project. All of your brilliant ideas that have been floating around in your head regarding your home or your shared resources can finally be implemented. If you can pass the preparation phase without major problems, you shouldn’t have too many problems with the rest of the work.

Balance: You are looking for methods to invest more in your relationship since romance is important to you now. The goal of your day is to make your partner happy, so you’re ready to do whatever they need. The more you help your companion, the more he will want to help you in return. Over time, your bond will grow stronger thanks to this pattern.

Scorpio: It’s natural to have doubts about your partner’s long-term commitment right now. However, your position may also be uncertain. The desire to be married one minute, the freedom of commitment the next: this is how your feelings about commitment sometimes waver. Before criticizing someone, check if you are not guilty of the same thing.

Sagittarius: Make room for love to grow in your heart. The endless saga of a specific love story can go much further today. You will have many opportunities to grow closer to each other and deepen your commitment to each other. Even though you’ve tried to keep things light, you can’t deny that the attraction between the two of you grows stronger every day.

Capricorn: Today’s vibes set a pretty clear boundary on where your date can go. You and your potential partner are aware of intense emotions for each other, but you’re not sure whether to act immediately or wait a while. No matter how strong your feelings for each other are, you can give in to temptation and indulge in sensual conversations. Be aware of your actions.

Aquarius: Talking to your partner can feel awkward right now. You and your partner are more attuned to the subtle inflections of tone in each other’s speech. It is possible to overcome your defensiveness and start treating your partner with the respect and consideration they deserve. If you can talk about issues without blaming anyone, you can keep a conversation on track.

Pisces: You need to reframe your expectations if you’re still waiting for “the one” to come into your life. Today’s Mood recommends that you re-evaluate your perspective and maybe reflect on the fact that the only way to meet this very funny person is to start having fun yourself. If you start living in the present and having fun, you’ll meet someone wonderful in no time.

Shelli Spotts, an adjunct faculty member in BYU’s English department, says creativity is important for everyone, not just writers, artists, actresses and singers.

“If you have a great creative process and you know how to engage your own creativity, you can create anything, as long as you know what it looks like,” Spotts said. “But it’s about learning to find patterns on your own.”

Spotts said people can be creative as long as they understand the circumstances, abilities, and tools needed to create something.

Spotts said she wants her writing students to find what their own voice sounds like, because everyone has a unique voice to contribute. She said people can be passionate about their interests and advocate for change, but if individuals don’t know how to articulate these things in their own voice, they will always imitate someone else.

“I love working with students,” Spotts said. “I love being able to see their writing and see what they have to say about the world.”

Channing Spotts, the eldest daughter of Shelli Spotts, said her mother always encourages her and others to start where they are and with their passions.

“She just fosters an environment and a place where… whatever you’re passionate about, you can do something about it, which I think is really important because it just gives people the autonomy to do what they want. they want and not what they think. they should,” Channing Spotts said.

Spotts said finding the places and times of day when one feels they can be more creative is important in determining personal creativity. She said it’s important to sleep well and eat well because creativity is a higher need and basic needs must be met before higher needs.

Spotts said thought patterns are also an aspect of creativity to pay attention to. She said budding creators should learn to write things when they get an impression or think of something interesting.

She also encouraged individuals to learn how to research ideas, follow interesting rabbit holes, and put those things together.

Spotts has always been a writer. She said she has published poetry, non-fiction and fiction and is currently working on a collection of essays and two different novels.

“I love telling stories,” said Shelli Spotts. “I think we…as humans are conditioned to connect through history, and so it’s a very powerful way to connect with others.”

Spotts said the world around us right now is bound together by stories. She said social media is entertaining because it tells stories that keep us engaged, and so storytelling is a super powerful tool.

Spotts said her path to her current job was unconventional as she attended school throughout the time her children were growing up, earning her master’s degree when her eldest daughter graduated from school. secondary.

Women have this idea that they have to be perfect at everything they do, Spotts said, and women don’t have to do everything and they have room in their lives to do the things they are passionate about. She added that doing these things nurtures their individual souls and spirits.

“One of the essay collections I’m working on right now is actually a collection that looks at women’s creativity and the spaces available and the spaces we create for her,” Spotts said. “I feel like sometimes we have to go in and create our own space for the ways we want to create – the ways we want to contribute in a way that maybe isn’t the same as the way of which a man is creative.”

Spotts said women should find a mentor who has done some of the things they seek to do and knows what it’s like to try to balance those things.

“Understand that there are seasons in your life for doing all kinds of things,” Spotts said. “But…at some point you have to make a decision about the things that are really important.”

Spotts said she has many interests, including playing the violin, music, acting, sewing and quilting. She said she had had the opportunity to do all of these things in her life, but had to prioritize them based on what was most important at the time.

Kath Richards, one of Spotts’ former students, said she was the kind of person who is proud and unashamed of everything she loves.

“Being able to see her love so hard made me feel like I had nothing to do with being a guilty pleasure,” Richards said. “Anything could be something I like, and it’s okay.”

Sports clubs in the region have expressed concern over rising energy costs, with some having to dip into money earmarked for long-term projects.

Drastically rising energy bills are impacting sports clubs in the Grantham area, including Kesteven Rugby Club and Harrowby United FC, with the latter boasting electricity bills four times the current rate.

These difficult times come after the financial uncertainties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic since March 2020, putting many independent sports clubs under “a lot of pressure”.

Kesteven Rugby Club, based in Woodnook, Grantham, say their energy costs are currently “astronomical”, but have opted not to raise membership fees.

Club treasurer Kerri Arlando said: “Our energy costs are astronomical at the moment, but as a club we didn’t want to increase membership fees to help cover them because everyone is feeling the pinch in this moment.

“We are looking at alternative energy sources and ways to improve our energy efficiency. This, however, has a ripple effect in other areas.”

Rising energy costs not only impact Kesteven’s short-term strategy, but also impact long-term plans.

“We were saving to upgrade our locker rooms because we currently don’t have separate locker rooms for men and women,” Kerri said.

“It looks like we’re going to have to dip into those funds to enable us to meet our ever-increasing energy costs. It’s a real shame as we are a growing club, especially with the women’s section of Kesteven.”

Harrowby United FC, who play at Dickens Road, described the energy crisis as “another blow to the club”, after two years of uncertainty and declining revenue due to Covid-19.

Amber Kitching, operations manager at Harrowby United, said: “As I imagine with most businesses, rising energy costs are a big concern for us at the moment.

“With heating and electricity costs soaring, we are under a lot of pressure to cover costs that we had not anticipated.

“For example, we see quotes for electricity that are four times higher than the current price. For voluntary sports facilities, this means that we have to increase revenue by the same amount, which is neither easy nor quick. .

“We are also unable to reduce our usage easily, as floodlights are a necessary evil in these circumstances.

“We will continue to monitor the situation and hope that government assistance will be forthcoming. But having come out of an extremely difficult period with Covid, now being affected by this is just another blow for the club.

“We want to develop and grow as a club, but things like this can easily derail those plans.”

An SKDC spokesperson said: “SKDC is continuously reviewing the situation at all premises for which we are responsible.

“Budget proposals for 2023-2024 will be debated as part of the annual budgeting process over the coming months.

‘Any price changes for Leisure Center rental or activities are determined by LeisureSK Ltd, a council owned company.’

]]> https://universoviviente.com/meet-the-projection-activist-who-just-trolled-elon-musk-on-twitter-headquarters/ Sat, 19 Nov 2022 02:53:58 +0000 https://universoviviente.com/meet-the-projection-activist-who-just-trolled-elon-musk-on-twitter-headquarters/

The messages, in simple white text, flashed on the walls of Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco on Thursday evening.

“Musk’s Hellscape.”

“Going into bankruptcy.

“Worthless billionaire.”

Other messages called Elon Musk, who closed his Purchase of Twitter for $44 billion at the end of last month, a “Space Karen” and an “anarchic oligarch”. Another quoted a former Twitter engineer who quit and called on others to protest“If your personal circumstances permit, it is your moral duty to disobey. To strike. To protest.”

Like a mass exodus Twitter employees who rejected the “hardcore“The ultimatum was happening inside the building, the messages continued to be broadcast from a projector mounted on a tripod set up across the street. Crowds began to gather outside and the projections started going viral online.

The projections were the work of Alan Marling, a Bay Area activist who declined to give his age or comment on his profession. He stood nearby – donning a Captain America face mask and a sunrise movement beanie – as passers-by, many of them technicians coming off work from nearby offices, stopped to take videos and photos.

A man, out of breath, approached Marling and said he had run away from his home to catch a glimpse of the public display after seeing videos of the messages posted on social media.

After about an hour of screening the messages, Marling packed up his gear and headed home. As Twitter’s fate grew increasingly bleak on Friday, Marling told The Times why he protested the tech giant and its controversial new owner.

Was this the first time you projected your work on Twitter?

I projected on Twitter before and started there in 2017. I wanted the company to enforce its hate speech policies and stop amplifying its Donald Trump tweets. Twitter really gave him a platform and they amplified his hate speech. They gave him a way to spread his white supremacist conspiracy theories, dating back to his birther movement tweets.

The story continues

Were you happy when Twitter banned Trump from its platform?

I would have argued that they should have done it five years ago. I’m not going to thank them for doing it so late.

Why did you show up to screen more messages on Thursday?

Over the past few months, as I started to pay more attention to it, it became clear that Elon Musk is a white supremacist himself.

In this case, I was particularly concerned that Elon Musk went above and below other companies in firing his human rights staffhis diversity and inclusion staff and many moderators.

I wanted to speak out against that and also his claim that he wanted to make Twitter a space for free speech. It’s not genuine because it’s a private company looking to profit from it freedom of speech.

We were considering screening next week, but were concerned that Twitter might declare bankruptcy by then.

Have you protested in other movements in the past?

I protested against the war in Iraq. But in 2017, I realized that the scale of extremism on social media was a problem in the United States. Social networks are pushing our society to become extreme because of how their algorithms work.

And why use a projector this time? Is it difficult to set it up?

I wanted a new way to protest. It is a non-violent, silent protest that allows people to interact with it as much or as little as they wish.

The difficulty of the projection is to feed it. I was dragging a lead acid battery that weighed 50 pounds in a suitcase. The suitcase was breaking and spilling acid everywhere. Now I use lithium batteries, but they tend to melt. But it doesn’t explode like Tesla batteries.

It is difficult to manage. That’s why you don’t see a lot of projection activists.

How do people normally interact with your work?

Some people just walk on the past. But some people respond positively to it. When I’m projecting, I’m trying to project something they’re thinking about but haven’t put into words yet. When I get there, I hear “good job”, “great job” and I get a thumbs up. The most common interaction is simply taking a photo.

Even if Twitter collapses, would you still return to its building to continue protesting?

I would be tempted, yes.

Whether Twitter implodes or not, we should on the whole be holding tech companies accountable for what they post and what they broadcast to the world. Specifically, extremism is getting the most engagement on Twitter and elsewhere, and they will continue to amplify it, even above truth and democracy, even above the interest of their own country, until we make it unprofitable for them.

Astronomical education and research brings together the full range of studies – from the physics of invisible elementary particles to the nature of space and time to biology concerning natural phenomena. These qualities make astronomical studies a valuable way to educate people about science, introducing scientific concepts and encouraging scientific thinking to students at all levels.
