Full Moon 28 June 2018 ~ Laser Focus

The full moon 28 June 2018 falls at 6º Capricorn decan 1. The full moon June 2018 astrology is extremely focused and has a huge drive to succeed. It is also very ambitious. This decan of Capricorn is probably the most stereotypical of the social-climbing aspect of Capricorn since it includes the ruthless star Facies. Full moons are associated with purging and this one is a particularly good one for very focused weeding-out of undesirable elements in your life. This full moon one has the power of a laser beam. Not only is this Moon in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, but it is also conjunct Saturn.

The June full Moon falls closest to the star Kaus Borealis found in the vane of the archer’s bow. The star Facies is found in the archer’s stare, so it is still in the same constellation. Since nebulas are hard to pinpoint by degree, I feel it is close enough to include in the full moon June astrology report. Full moons can be used for both healing magic or sorcery, with Facies the potential for merciless elimination behavior could be high. Whose name is written on the assassin’s bullet?

Full Moon June 2018 Astrology

Fixed Star Facies 8º ~ “Experiencing violence or turmoil. The sadist, or the humanitarian who wants to help children or minority groups in need. To learn of wounded people, people who have been harshly treated.”[1]

The similarity with the name Facies and Fascist is too uncanny to ignore when you have some prime fascistic types born within this decan, Moon in Capricorn 1 natives include; Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, Marine Le Pen, Ayaan Hirsi Ali (Who has had death threats), Melania Trump, Mark Chapman (John Lennon’s killer), plus the actual Death Of John Lennon. Indeed the values of Capricorn 1 are actually pretty similar to a fascist mindset, whether you like it or not. The word Fascist is tainted by WW2, but its true definition is not really that sinister.

Still, its bad-ass reputation fits splendidly, since Capricorn 1 is used to being the black sheep of the family. The Moon here often has to dish out tough love, and for this, it is never thanked until far into the future. By this time the goat has moved many mountains away, but it does not care much for fawning appreciation anyhow. Fascism arises out of a national emergency, where things have got so bad that a strongly authoritarian leader is necessary to rein in the chaos. It is interesting that Brady says that Facies can be both humanitarian OR the sadist.

Moon Capricorn 1 is the perfect ‘parent’ for the job when the ‘children’ of the State are causing anarchy. “Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature, and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.” ~ Fascismo is an Italian term and comes from Fascio meaning ‘a bundle of rods’. This suggests strength through unity, as a single rod is easily broken, but a bunch is really hard to snap. The Moon generally signifies the family unit and a strong family is also hard for the state to dominate.

Family loyalty is then of utmost importance and by extension, so is tribal loyalty, whether it be to the nation or group that wants to promote its self-interests. The Moon by itself does not have any dignity at all here, so it really does depend on the co-operation of others to succeed. Moon Capricorn 1 has a sense of working together for a long-term goal. Harsh Northern winters breed those of tough stock and who know that a solo man will surely starve. The family unity is a strength, just like the bundle of rods.

FULL MOON JUNE 2018 FIXED STARS & ASPECT

Kaus Borealis ~ “Promoters of idealistic and humane ideas, promoters of mental stimuli, enterprise and a sense of justice.” [2] “It conveys a sense of strength and flexibility combined and this often shows up in the chart of people who can put force behind their reasoning, yet be flexible.” [3] This star is a counter-balance to the more negative associations of Facies.

Facies  ~“The nebula in the Archer’s Face is of the nature of the Sun and Mars, and causes blindness, defective sight (all nebula can cause blindness), sickness, accidents and a violent death.” So says Robson but Eric Morse goes into much more detail and gives a positive side. ” Much blamed for accidents and broken limbs and so on. The Latin name is from the verb “Facere, to make or do something”, and it is often said to portend accidents due to the victim’s own careless actions.


FULL MOON JUNE 2018 TAROT CARD

The Tarot card associated with this decan is the two of pentacles “The man in the Two of Pentacles needs to find balance and moderation in his life too.  All work and no play made Jack a dull boy.  If he allows no time for relaxation or fun, he is liable to become tired and tense and he may find his mood fluctuates like the waves behind him, up one day and down the next.”

Materialism and ‘matter’ is important to this decan, but also the cycle of time. This is where their prophetic ability comes from, the innate knowledge of natural law. “One Pentacle is higher than the other and surrounding them is a figure of eight loop , the infinity symbol…  All energy is recycled whether it is good or bad for energy is simply energy and cannot be destroyed.  What goes around comes around..” ~ teachmetarot

Like focused star Facies, this tarot card demonstrates being absorbed in one’s work and keeping your eye on the ball.


Full Moon June 2018 Horoscope

Naturally, there is a positive side to Facies, it symbolizes well that kind of Sagittarian who goes out to climb mountains, race cars, enter the ski-jump team or the Grand National steeplechase, making it right to the top and no doubt breaking a few bones along the way. On the more philosophical side, it will mark those who must see their outlook and beliefs carried into practical effect somewhere, so that they go out on missions, set up their own churches and centers, engage in good works of famine or refugee relief and so on. Inevitably they get hurt at times, but perhaps find compensation in the value of their works.” [3].

Bernadette Brady seems to be the most damning about fixed star Facies; “represents the penetrating stare of a lethal weapon. It is one of the most difficult, and possibly the most violent, objects in the heavens. It gives a penetration of action that has no regard for others…Facies in a chart will indicate that the planet it touches will be very focused and driven…the push to achieve goals and aims may well become ruthless.” [4]

This decan is really dominated by Sagittarius the archer. Most of its stars are here ” in the stars of this constellation the human form is blended with a beast’s and placed above it; wherefore it has lordship over beasts. And because it carries a shaft poised on a drawn bow, it imparts strength to limb and keenness to the intellect, swiftness of movement, and an indefatigable spirit.” [5]

Full Moon June 2018 Astrology

Full Moon conjunct Saturn is functional and critical. This will not be the most adventurous or playful moon, but it will be your rock and anchor. It is extremely tempting to Saturnian or Capricorn people around you to take complete control of your life, but if you do surrender to their efficiency drive, expect their command to be 100%. Those touched by this full moon may meet folk who provide protection and security like no other. However, if this person happens to be your romantic partner and there is synastry with this Saturn/Moon, the relationship will often feel too parental for comfort. This full moon is great for extremely disciplined, organized and responsible individuals. Challenges and responsibilities accepted at the full moon June 2018 will help build us a backbone of steel and broad metaphorical shoulders.

“You can’t hide from the truth because the truth is all there is.”

Go to the mountain if you must
Go to the burning bush
Happy would ease your troubled mind
How do the fade just stay behind?

I know you better than you think I do
Don’t worry babe.. this is why i fell in love with you
The man in the looking glass
Is looking back at you at last

You can’t hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can’t hide

If happy times are too few and far between
It’s a pity dear, we can’t erase the things we’ve seen
So disappear, vanish if you wish
Just go before you’re swallowed up by bitterness

And the truth is you can’t hide from the truth
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago that I would have to let you go

May not be true to see that you would return one day
But in your present state you may as well not be here at all
You wear a thin disguise, it’s from yourself you hide
Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall

Now presiding in this court of hip-hop
Justice, my rap forte
Judge, jury, bailing for prosecuting D.A.
Etceteras, paraphrase
My modus operandi
Is carpe diem whether de facto or de jure
Comprende?
The people versus, you and your Sensei
Teaching that style of word-play
Weaker than words they
Regardless of what your friends say
They’re all dissable
Stricken from the record and deemed inadmissable
And this long arm of the law grabs a mic to
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The death sentences of this live litigator
Close the case tighter than the jaws of a ‘gator
Stenographers are steady loggin the jargon
That your counselors ‘a barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
But when you read back verbatim
What they’re saying to pursuade them
They realize exactly how i’ve played them
I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
‘Cause the truth hurts just as much as fuckin’ wit lies will
I brew skill with free fills from now untill
Plagiarizing MC’s get their flows distilled

Baby I don’t die without you by my side
As long as you return into these arms that burn
Baby I won’t die just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn

I won’t die, if you leave me high
I won’t die if you’re not by my side

And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can’t hide from the truth

MIT class 2.009!

2.009 Product Engineering Processes

 

Course Description

In 2.009, Product Engineering Processes, students work in large teams of approximately 15-20 individuals to design and build working alpha prototypes of new products. Students learn about creativity, product design, working within a budget, and gain unifying engineering experience. The course is designed to emulate what engineers might experience as part of a design team in a modern product development firm.

The effort spans the early phases of product development, including: opportunity identification; generating ideas; gathering customer and market data; selecting ideas, devising concepts and building sketch models; building and testing mockups; customer evaluation of mockups; embodiment design; and construction of a high quality functioning alpha prototype.

The large teams must work effectively to realize this task, so students also learn about group dynamics, team roles and management, consensus building, and the value of communication.

Each year the teams work on projects unified by a theme. The theme gallery for themes of previous years.

At the end of the course, teams present their work to a live audience of ~1100 practicing product designers, entrepreneurs, academics, and classmates, as well as a significant webcast audience. In 2016 there were also over 15,000 unique viewers on-line.

Examples of projects from previous years and project milestone presentations are available in the course gallery.

Key Goals 

2.009 is about experiencing the process of developing new product ideas, improving design skills, and learning strategies/processes for successful innovation. Some of the key goals follow.

Improve creative-thinking capability.
Improve ability to identify the significant product opportunities, and to develop appropriate solutions through a structured product development process.
Improve expertise in constructing models for reasoning about design alternatives. These include estimations, sketches, sketch models, spreadsheets, geometric models, mockups and prototypes.
Improve engineering expertise and proficiency in techniques for building high quality product models and prototypes.
Learn about and experience structured methods for working in large teams on a project that requires teamwork to be successful.
Improve presentation skills using a wide variety of media.
Develop an understanding of, and enthusiasm for, the engineering activities involved with designing a new product.
Develop an appreciation for the significance of societal contributions that can be made as a technological innovator.

Lectures

Monday, Wednesday and Friday 1-2 PM in room 10-250. See the class schedule for details. Lecture notes are posted on-line shortly after each class.

Labs
Tuesdays 2-5 PM, 7-10 PM; Wednesdays 2-5 PM, 7-10PM; Thursday 9 AM-noon, 2-5 PM. All lab meetings are in the Pappalardo Lab (3-069). The lab/team assignments are established after the first week of class (registrar section assignments are not used), and labs begin the second week of class.

The course is organized around the team labs, which are used to define the product development process. See the lab schedulefor information about how the labs, lecture and project milestones are coordinated. Lab notes with recommended activities for each week are posted on the course website.

Grading
Lab instructors are responsible for grading students in their lab section. The grade allocation is primarily determined based upon: the team’s product design and prototype; design reviews and presentationsdesign notebooks; and peer reviews.

Some components of the grade are individual, some are common to a lab section, and others are shared by an entire team. The project workflow illustrates how two lab sections are combined to make a single team.

I AM NOT WHAT YOU THINK!

By Antwon Rose (poem written for a 10th grade honors English class at Woodland Hills High School on May 16, 2016)

I am confused and afraid
I wonder what path I will take
I hear that there’s only two ways out
I see mothers bury their sons
I want my mom to never feel that pain
I am confused and afraid

I pretend all is fine
I feel like I’m suffocating
I touch nothing so I believe all is fine
I worry that it isn’t though
I cry no more
I am confused and afraid

I understand people believe I’m just a statistic
I say to them I’m different
I dream of life getting easier
I try my best to make my dream true
I hope that it does
I am confused and afraid
