Unexplained Dimmings in KIC 8462852

Why does star KIC 8462852 keep wavering? Nobody knows. A star somewhat similar to our Sun, KIC 8462852 was one of many distant stars being monitored by NASA’s robotic Kepler satellite to see if it had planets. Citizen scientists voluntarily co-inspecting the data along with computers found this unusual case where a star’s brightness dropped at unexpected times by as much as 20 percent for as long as months — but then recovered. Common reasons for dimming — such as eclipses by orbiting planets or stellar companions — don’t match the non-repetitive nature of the dimmings. A currently debated theory is dimming by a cloud of comets or the remnants of a shattered planet, but these would not explain data indicating that the star itself has become slightly dimmer over the past 125 years. Nevertheless, featured here is an artist’s illustration of a planet breaking up, drawn to depict NGC 2547-ID8, a different system that shows infrared evidence of such a collision. Recent observations of KIC 8462852 did not detect the infrared glow of a closely orbiting dust disk, but gave a hint that the system might have such a disk farther out. Future observations are encouraged and creative origin speculations are sure to continue. via NASA ift.tt/1sBV1YS

Moms: Education Now Brings Success Later

Moms: Education Now Brings Success Later
Intelligence and hard work are vital components to professional and personal success. There is a regrettable lack of educational resources within reach for many people. Mothers who are in need of education can make a difference in their lives and the lives of their children by seeking education. The federal scholarships for moms are a new and important way of encouraging women to earn a degree. This federal program was initiated in 2009 as a way to help moms of all types go to school. The funds for the Obama grant program come from the federal Pell Grants. Five thousand dollars can be used by the recipient at most schools around the nation. There is a significant list of all the school-related costs that can be paid for with the $ 5,000 grant. Hopefully this lack of undue restrictions helps moms realize the opportunities available to them. The areas of study which are acceptable is another area of openness. There are very few restrictions in place that would prohibit a mother from studying what interests her. Business and industry are full of interesting careers, and they often begin with adequate higher education. Achievement starts by being knowledgeable and prepared. Since no one can predict the future, it’s important to prime yourself now. That can begin by taking advantage of the Pell Grant award for moms. The internet is a great tool for many things, including job research. One important research tool is the Occupational Outlook Handbook, or OOH. This guide by the US Department of Labor analyzes the current trends of employment in a number of sectors. Future job predictions on a ten-year scale are the primary benefits of the OOH. To find information about required education or training, salary, job projections and more, CareerOneStop is another valuable publication. Doing job searches on trusted websites and search engines can provide lots of valuable information. Finding trends among the information can often give a clear picture of what is available in the job market. A down economy doesn’t mean that education should move down as a priority. Preparing during slow times is an important way to ensure that needs are met when thing pick up. Strong moms deserve chances to help strengthen their families, and education is a great start.

So what’s holding you back? Get free degree options, whether online or on-campus, and compare over 1900 colleges and universities, who have a need for students like you. Visit http://www.scholarshipsformomsfinder.info/

Weekly Poems from Poems for Free: A Philosophical Friendship Poem and More

MAY POETRY FLOW

May poetry flow
From your moonlit garden,
From your cool, dark fountain,
Untouched by age.

May your spirit read
The book of life
With the same enchantment
As the child within.

DEAR SON, I CANNOT SPEAK

Dear son, I cannot speak, and yet
I have so much to say to you,
Too much for time and will to net.
Life goes with just this last adieu.

I have so much to say to you,
Far more than I can now convey.
Life goes with just this last adieu
To serve as what I want to say.

Far more than I can now convey,
I love you with a love that yearns
To serve as what I want to say,
Ablaze with joy that bleeds and burns.

I love you with a love that yearns
Too much for time and will to net.
Ablaze with joy that bleeds and burns,
Dear son, I cannot speak, and yet . . .

MY LOVER BATHES ME IN HIS PRECIOUS LIGHT

My lover bathes me in his precious light.
I am the Earth to his all-giving sun.
His needs are burned away in serving mine,
Consumed in the production of his love.

In my awe I’m sometimes forced to wonder:
How can such sweet radiance be sustained?
So selfless is the self in need of need,
So much in love with giving others love.

Still, the sun requires no return.
Light and life come humbly from its fire.
And so I worship him as did the ancients,
Grateful for the gift of being near.

WHISKERS

Whiskers will remain a wily wastrel,
Having learned the habits of his heart.
Impulse is for him an inner minstrel,
Singing with the certainty of art.
Kindness cannot cause him to be caring,
Even when exceptionally at ease.
Reveling in love, he finds it wearing;
So saunters off, with no one else to please.

PASTORS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE SHEPHERDS

Pastors are supposed to be the shepherds
A willing flock has bid to guide their souls.
So must you be yourself a lamb of courage,
The one most lost amid the moral wreckage
Of Adam’s sin, whose grief must be the fold’s.
Remember we are all but broken potsherds,
Sustained alone by faith in some great whole.

THE LUCK IN LOVE LIES MAINLY AT THE START

The luck in love lies mainly at the start,
Having to do with meeting and attraction.
Indeed, the passion that undoes the heart
Remains, at heart, a chemical reaction.
Thereafter, love is on its own, and must
Each hour, each day, each year renew its glory.
Ellipsis may be suitable for lust;
No love lasts long without a proper story.
The luck in love for us lies far behind:
Here love is knowing, wise, and far from blind.

THANK YOU FOR PREPARING ME FOR BAPTISM

Thank you for preparing me for baptism.
How better do we learn than from the heart?
A soul can best find joy by sharing grace,
Not being whole except by being part,
Knowing well the ways across that chasm!

Your love shines through your acts as through a prism,
Of all God’s gifts, the easiest to trace,
Uniting your sweet labor with His art.

If You Want Him Back Fast Make It Easy For Your Ex Boyfriend To Love You Again – Learn How To Do It

If You Want Him Back Fast Make It Easy For Your Ex Boyfriend To Love You Again – Learn How To Do It

After a breakup, if you still love your ex boyfriend, you will be thinking of ways to get him back. The problem is, you might think that you have to tell him how much you still love and need him.  But if you want him back fast, make it easy for your ex boyfriend to love you again.

Remember when he first fell in love with you and how wonderful it felt? But now that you think he might be gone forever, your life is a living hell. You are feeling loneliness and despair. Of course he told you he only needed some space, but you know that was what he thought was a gentle way of breaking up with you. But you cannot let your dreams of a future with him just die. You need to find a way to get him back.

This might surprise you, but the best way to get your ex boyfriend back, is to let him go. Here is the reason – if you go running after him in a highly emotional state, he will see you as needy and desperate. That is not the image you want him to have of you because it will confirm his decision to breakup with you. But if you keep your dignity, it will make it easy for him to fall in love with you again.

When he broke up with you, your ex was pretty sure you still loved him. That makes him expect you to do everything in your power to get him back. Your ex boyfriend is all prepared for an onslaught of phone calls, emails and text messages. Imagine his surprise when none of them arrive. When you accept the breakup and seem to be moving on with your life, he will not know what to think. He will wonder if you have decided to forget him and find someone else.

Your ex boyfriend will also feel that you are rejecting him and that will not set well with him. Men naturally want what they cannot have. That is in their genes. They also cannot stand to be rejected or lose something they feel is theirs. Since he still considers you his girlfriend, your actions will be a challenge to him. This is similar to the situation when he first met you. He felt you were unattainable and that made him desire you. The same thing is happening again.

By not trying to get him back, you will have him chasing you again. Since men love a challenge and a chase, you will be making it easy for your ex boyfriend to love you again.

Overcoming Geography to Find True Love and Keep it!

Overcoming Geography to Find True Love and Keep it!

We all know how hard it is to find someone whom we can spend a long-term relationship with.  Someone you can tell your problems to or someone you can laugh with.  Finding true love can conquer latitudes and time zones.  Especially now that we have the power of the world wide web.  Online dating sites can be of great help in order to find the girl of your dreams.

 

The moment you find that person, distance may not matter anymore.  It might be hard, but, what the heck!  Even when you both live in the same area, it sometimes is hard too.  Overcoming distance just to find true love, can be done with a few clicks of the mouse.

 

When venturing on online dating, it is important to lay your cards down straight forwardly.  I don’t recommend lying about your looks or standard of living.  In fact, it is better to uncover the worst things in your life to a possible future mate.  This way, you will know if she is really into a serious relationship or is just up for something else.

 

If a relationship was formed while couples are miles apart, it might be a lot easier to sustain a long-distance relationship.  The probability of it to work might be higher.  Yet, it all actually depends on how much you’ve learned to care for each other and how much you want to make the relationship work.

 

Use all opportunity and tools to communicate.  If this kind of relationship happened on you 20 years ago, you might end up a total failure.  But since the computer era is on its heights, we can now easily communicate with others with almost zero trouble.  Communication with the people that we love, will now no longer take months of waiting.  Because of the computer technology, your woman seems to be just in the neighborhood. Send messages and use the web cam to be able to feel closer to your girl.

 

Schedule when you are going to communicate.  Since, probably, both of you are busy from whatever you are doing, you need to set a regular time to avoid miscommunication.  This is very important, especially, if your girl is at the other side of the world where an 8-hour-time difference is in the middle.

 

Snail mail might be corny for some, but it feels good receiving letters.  You should both send long love letters via mail.  It will make your girl want more of you. Videos and pictures help too.

 

Try this.  Agree on doing something at the same time and talk about it after.  Seeing a movie perhaps, while your Skype lines are open?

 

Keep the romance alive.  It might be hard since you both live in different continents.  But if you truly love each other, then it will be easy to bridge that gap.  You can both go to a park and take pictures, then you can exchange photos showing each place you wish to have visited together.

 

To find and keep true love, we need to sacrifice our time and money.

To find and keep true love, we need to sacrifice our time and money.  Travel to see her.  If you haven’t seen her since you started your relationship online, it would be great if you can take a few days off and see her.  She will definitely enjoy the idea of finally talking to you in person and really knowing you better.

 

In the end, to find and keep true love, you should trust her.  It might be hard, for you don’t really know what she does when she’s not in front of the computer and you are miles away to check things out but, that’s the risk you need to take.
