Golden Opportunity: How to Make Your Own Safe Food Coloring at Home

I was amazed when I read this article about what manufactured food coloring can do to a person. Than I was excited to read how it explains how to make your own out of vegetables and other things.

Information on how and why to make your own food coloring

It’s hard to imagine birthday cakes without colorful writing, vibrant flowers, or other exciting designs. But the colors in our cakes, candies, and other popular foods may not be as innocuous as their pretty exteriors would lead us to believe.

Research suggests that synthetic food coloring may harm human health in a variety of ways. But in spite of the risk factors, these colorants are cropping up in more foods than ever before. Although they provide no nutritional value, they’re added to a wide range of foods to intensify color or give those foods the color people expect to see.1 (For example, boxed cake batters may be dyed yellow in to look like they’re made from real eggs.)

With a little effort, you can avoid synthetic food coloring. Here’s why

The Einstein Cross Gravitational Lens

Image Credit & License: J. Rhoads (Arizona State U.) et al., WIYN, AURA, NOIRLab, NSFExplanation: Most galaxies have a single nucleus — does this galaxy have four? The strange answer leads astronomers to conclude that the nucleus of the surrounding galaxy is not even visible in this image. The central cloverleaf is rather light emitted from a background quasar. The gravitational field of the visible foreground galaxy breaks light from this distant quasar into four distinct images. The quasar must be properly aligned behind the center of a massive galaxy for a mirage like this to be evident. The general effect is known as gravitational lensing, and this specific case is known as the Einstein Cross. Stranger still, the images of the Einstein Cross vary in relative brightness, enhanced occasionally by the additional gravitational microlensing effect of specific stars in the foreground galaxy.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, October 17 to Saturday, October 23, 2021

What do that stars have to tell us for the upcoming week?

All Signs

The Sun is the energy source of the solar system, and likewise, it is also the energy source of the horoscope. When the Sun changes signs each month, it energizes a different part of our chart. This is why sometimes, we’re keen to do home improvements and redecorating projects, and at other times, we can barely sweep the kitchen floor. The Sun energizes everything — from jogging to taking a nap. Speaking of which, Yogi Berra said, “I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.” And one time, when a bunch of naked people ran across the ballfield, he said, “I don’t know if they were men or women fans cuz they had bags over their heads.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are high-energy, active and competitive. (You hate to lose.) Believe it or not, for the next four weeks, you will be even more high-energy and more passionate! (I kid you not.) This passion will apply to your sex drive as well as every aspect of your life. Issues will be more black and white. You will be “for” something or “against” it. You will have strong opinions that you insist on defending, especially anything related to shared property, shared ownership and shared responsibilities. You might dispute an inheritance or your fair share of something. The good news is you will also have a strong desire to be the best that you can be. This is great! You like to be the best that you can be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be opposite your sign. (This occurs only once a year.) It will pose the question: How well are you doing at the art of living? (Especially since your birthday.) What were your goals for this year and how are they unfolding? Because the Sun is opposite your sign, you will have more focus on your partner or a close friend. You will also have more objectivity, which will help you see your style of relating to those who are closest to you because the Sun will cast “a light” on these relationships. This will help you see how you can improve your style of relating to others. Hey, this is a gift! Knowing how to relate to others is one of the most important skills in life.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This week as the Sun changes signs, it will make you want to be efficient, effective and productive in the following four weeks. You will set high standards for yourself, which will include other aspects of your life as well. For example, you might explore exercise, dance classes or an improved diet because you want to be healthier. (Excellent choices.) All of this is because you sense that this is the time to pull your act together. Many of you will also become more involved with a pet. Meanwhile, relations with partners and close friends will be cozy and supportive, which is a lovely influence. Enjoy fun times with loved ones.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Different parts of our chart describe different aspects of our lives. Some parts focus on career, some focus on home and family. But there is one part of our chart that represents fun, pleasure, romance, creativity and having a good time! And this is exactly where the Sun will shine for you for the next four weeks! It will give you the freedom to express yourself and be who you are. Amusing diversions, parties, sports events and social outings will be your first priority. You will feel lighter and happier! Romance will be more fun-loving. You might be more involved with children. It’s the perfect time for a vacation. Enjoy your good fortune!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week as the Sun changes signs, it will draw your focus to home, family and your private life. You’ll be happy to cocoon at home and enjoy the privacy and comfort of familiar surroundings. You might be more involved with family, especially a parent. You will enjoy solitude and time by yourself. This increased focus on home and family will also trigger memories of the past for you. Because of this, the next four weeks are the perfect time to confide in another person, perhaps a professional counsellor or someone who can help you to do some self-evaluation. It will be a pleasant time with rich benefits.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because the Sun is changing signs. Suddenly, you have things to do, places to go and people to see! You will be more involved with friends, neighbours, siblings and relatives. It will be an excellent time to take short trips and enjoy a busy schedule of appointments and errands. During this window of a faster, busier pace, you will read, write and study more than usual as well. In fact, the next four weeks are an excellent time to take up a new study or learn a new skill. You will also feel comfortable telling someone your views and ideas about something important.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

When the Sun changes signs this week, it will draw your attention to earnings, cash flow and financial matters for the next four weeks. You might look for a better paying job or ways to make money on the side. You will be more interested in your earnings and assets. You will have a stronger focus on your own possessions – maintaining them, cleaning them and storing them. Likewise, many of you will shop for beautiful things. When you buy beautiful things, it is not as frivolous as some might think because you are the one sign in the zodiac who is strongly affected by your immediate environment. Colours, smells, lighting and furnishings literally uplift you or vice versa.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week the Sun enters your sign where it will stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it’s a blessing for you! The Sun is your source of energy. Therefore, this is now your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year! Furthermore, the Sun will attract favourable situations to you as well as important people. Obviously, this means the next four weeks are a time of opportunity for you, so make the most of it! Meanwhile, Venus will attract money to you and encourage you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Ka-ching!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In the next four weeks, the Sun will be hiding in the wings as your personal year draws to an end, and before your new personal year is ready to begin. Therefore, this four-week interval is a bit like a time of limbo for you. It’s the perfect time to seek out some solitude so that you can reflect and think about where you have been and where you want to go. What do you want for yourself in your new year ahead? This is the perfect time to set some goals because goals give you focus, they define your direction, and they certainly make future decision-making easier. Think about this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your popularity will increase in the next four weeks because you will be more interested in friends and more involved in groups, clubs and organizations. Because of this, it’s the best time of year for you to examine friendships and your relationships to groups to see what role they play in your life. There is no question that the people you hang out with influence your mind; and in turn, your mind is what makes the decisions that creates your future. (Think about this because what is true of your friends is also true of you, for the most part.) It’s important to establish who you really are and be yourself without fear or apology. This is the true freedom.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re entering a favourable four-week window where the Sun is at the top of your chart. (This is the only time all year this happens.) It symbolizes that the Sun is shining down on you and casting you in a spotlight that is flattering to you. What this means is that without doing anything special on your part, you will impress everyone, especially bosses, parents, VIPs and teachers! Since this is almost like a blessing from a “magic wand” – make the most of it! The next four weeks are the best time for you to make your pitch and do what you can to advance your agenda. Because people are impressed with you, they will be receptive to your ideas.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your desire to travel and explore more of the world will be very strong in the next four weeks. You will want to break free of routine and do something exciting! You want to learn more about your world. In fact, this is an excellent time to take a course or study at school. It’s also a wonderful time to explore writing and opportunities in medicine, the law, publishing and the media. Be open to making even the most trivial encounter a positive learning experience. Be ready to learn about exotic subjects that are metaphysical, religious or spiritual, perhaps mind-expanding explorations. Some might be involved with the law directly or indirectly. It’s an exciting time ahead!

16 October Southern Hemisphere Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions

Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

From Moongiant.com

Today the Moon will be in a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Visit the October 2021 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Gibbous Phase

The Waxing Gibbous on October 16 has an illumination of 83%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day.

BELTANE: SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

Southern Hemisphere Beltane by Jane Hardwicke Collings

The date for the Southern Hemispheric Beltane is October 31st and ‘May Day’ is November 1st. The climax of Spring!

Beltane is the peak of Spring, a celebration of fertility. In ancient times it was the Beltane Rites that recon- nected each year the King to the Goddess, the masculine to the feminine. It is a time for us to give thanks for our fertile lives, our creativity and our gender specific gifts and roles. Its a time to notice and honour the difference in the masculine and feminine. It is a time of increasing growth, building to almost full potential, of beauty and heightened passion.

Beltane Spiritual Practice

Your being, as part of the Earth, part of the cycle of the seasons, will be influenced by this energy whether you’re paying attention to it or not. If you pay some attention, you will feel it, and you can be in flow with it.

Think like the gardener, and align with the Earth energy of now, contemplate the growth that is peaking in your life, that is getting all the attention…

The Holographic Principle and a Teapot

Image Credit: CaltechExplanation: Sure, you can see the 2D rectangle of colors, but can you see deeper? Counting color patches in the featured image, you might estimate that the most information that this 2D digital image can hold is about 60 (horizontal) x 50(vertical) x 256 (possible colors) = 768,000 bits. However, the yet-unproven Holographic Principle states that, counter-intuitively, the information in a 2D panel can include all of the information in a 3D room that can be enclosed by the panel. The principle derives from the idea that the Planck length, the length scale where quantum mechanics begins to dominate classical gravity, is one side of an area that can hold only about one bit of information. The limit was first postulated by physicist Gerard ‘t Hooft in 1993. It can arise from generalizations from seemingly distant speculation that the information held by a black hole is determined not by its enclosed volume but by the surface area of its event horizon. The term “holographic” arises from a hologram analogy where three-dimension images are created by projecting light through a flat screen. Beware, some people staring at the featured image may not think it encodes just 768,000 bits — nor even 2563,000 bit permutations — rather they might claim it encodes a three-dimensional teapot.

From Moongiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.
