REMOTE WORK - OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FOR DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES | iFour Technolab

One of the challenges that remote employees of Software Development companies face is overwork. It becomes difficult to balance work and life when it is under the same roof. Even though working from home means working on different days or hours, and being flexible. But some employees tend to spend more time on work during the day which is not required. Due to this, they feel exhausted, sleep-deprived, and lack of personal time.

The workload does not allow the employee to focus on the essential tasks and leads to a significant decrease in productivity.

(Sun in a groom persona chart represents his core identity, ego, and how he presents himself as a husband. It is symbolic of his willpower, leadership qualities, self-expression, and the life force that he brings into the marital relationship.

How to read birth charts (my method)

1st house:

I usually start with the rising sign, which already gives me an idea on how the individual's perception of the world, how they approach new challenges/situations in life, and how others might perceive them based on first impressions or from afar. Then I look at other planets in the 1st house which would influence the above; depending on the planet it would either intensify or reduce the effect of the rising sign on the personality of the individual, and then I look at aspects to the rising and the ascendant degree as well (I have provided an example of this interpretation here)

Most important birth chart placement

Ideally next I would take a look at the chart ruler (rising sign ruler)'s placement as it tells me a lot about the essence of the person; for example a someone who has pluto as a chart ruler is going to be pretty intense, Mercury would be eloquent with their words, Saturn might be strict in various ways etc

Day chart/night chart factor

Day chart:

Sun placement would be more important

Benefic placement is Jupiter

Malefic is Mars

Mercury placement is neutral

Night chart:

Moon placement is more relevant

Benefic placement is Venus

Malefic placement is Saturn

Mercury is neutral

There is something to be inferred from the Mercury placement as well, aka if it is constructive or debilitating. Check out my post about Mercury <3

Conclusion:

Of course this is a very simplistic/basic approach and I do look at other placements depending on what the person is curious about, if not that then I take a look at the dominant planet, dominant element, some aspects, and I briefly describe/interpret all 10 planetary placements and I go into more detail when we are talking about angular house placements

If you wish to look at an example of a birth chart reading done by me, take a look at this

I will add a part two probably

That is all

Thank you for reading <3

Information on Testosterone Hormone Therapy:

As you prepare to begin treatment, now is a great time to think through what your goals are, as the approach to hormone therapy is definitely not one-size-fits-all.

Do you want to get started right away on a path to the maximum safe effects? Or, do you want to begin at a lower dose and allow things to progress more slowly? Perhaps your long term goal is to seek less-than-maximal effects and you would like to remain on a low dose for the long term. Thinking about your goals will help you communicate more effectively with your medical provider (an endocrinologist is the best way) as you work together to map out your care plan.

Many people are eager for hormonal changes to take place rapidly- understandably so. But it's very important to remember that the extent of, and rate at which your changes take place, depend on many factors. These factors include your genetics, the age at which you start taking hormones, and your overall state of health.

Consider the effects of hormone therapy as a second puberty, and puberty normally takes years for the full effects to be seen. Taking higher doses of hormones will not necessarily bring about faster changes, but it could endanger your health. And because everyone is different, your medicines or dosages may vary widely from those of your friends, or what you may have read in books or in online forums. Use caution when reading about hormone regimens that promise specific, rapid, or drastic effects. While it is possible to make adjustments in medications and dosing to achieve certain specific goals, in large part the way your body changes in response to hormones is more dependent on genetics and the age at which you start, rather than the specific dose, route, frequency, or types of medications you are taking.

While I will speak about the approach to hormone therapy in transgender men, my comments are also applicable to non-binary people who were assigned female at birth and are seeking masculinizing hormone therapy.

There are four areas where you can expect changes to occur as your hormone therapy progresses: Physical, emotional, sexual, and reproductive.

Physical

The first physical changes you will probably notice are that your skin will become a bit thicker and more oily. Your pores will become larger and there will be more oil production. You’ll also notice that the odors of your sweat and urine will change and that you may sweat more overall. You may develop acne, which in some cases can be bothersome or severe, but usually can be managed with good skin care practices and common acne treatments. Some people may require prescription medications to manage acne, please discuss this with your provider. Generally, acne severity peaks during the first year of treatment, and then gradually improves. Acne may be minimized by using an appropriate dosing of testosterone that avoids excessively high levels.

Your chest will not change much in response to testosterone therapy. That said, surgeons often recommend waiting at least 6-12 months after the start of testosterone therapy before having masculinizing chest surgery, otherwise known as top surgery, in order to first allow the contours of the muscles and soft tissues of your chest wall to settle in to their new pattern.

Your body will begin to redistribute your weight. Fat will diminish somewhat around your hips and thighs. Your arms and legs will develop more muscle definition, with more prominent veins and a slightly rougher appearance, as the fat just beneath the skin becomes a bit thinner. You may also gain fat around your abdomen.

Your eyes and face will begin to develop a more angular, male appearance as facial fat decreases and shifts. Please note that it’s not likely your bone structure will change, though some people in their late teens or early twenties may see some subtle bone changes. It may take 2 or more years to see the final result of the facial changes.

Your muscle mass will increase, as will your strength, although this will depend on a variety of factors including diet and exercise. Overall, you may gain or lose weight once you begin hormone therapy, depending on your diet, lifestyle, genetics and muscle mass.

Testosterone will cause a thickening of the vocal chords, which will result in a more male-sounding voice. Not all trans men will experience a full deepening of the pitch of their voice with testosterone, however. Some may find that practicing various vocal techniques or working with a speech therapist may help them develop a voice that feels more comfortable and fitting. Voice changes may begin within just a few weeks of beginning testosterone, first with a scratchy sensation in the throat or feeling like you are hoarse. Next your voice may break a bit as it finds its new tone and quality.

The hair on your body, including your chest, back and arms will increase in thickness, become darker and will grow at a faster rate. You may expect to develop a pattern of body hair similar to other men in your family—just remember, though, that everyone is different and it can take 5 or more years to see the final results.

Regarding the hair on your head: most trans men notice some degree of frontal scalp hair thinning, especially in the area of your temples. Depending on your age and family history, you may develop thinning hair, male pattern baldness or even complete hair loss. Approaches to managing hair loss in trans men is the same as with cisgender men; treatments can include the partial testosterone blocker finasteride, minoxidil, which is also known as Rogaine, applied to the scalp, and hair transplantation. As with cis men, unfortunately there is no way to completely prevent male pattern baldness in those predisposed to develop this condition. Ask your provider for more information on strategies for managing hair loss.

Regarding facial hair, beards vary from person to person. Some people develop a thick beard quite rapidly, others take several years, while some never develop a full, thick beard. Just as with cisgender men, trans men may have varying degrees of facial hair thickness and develop it at varying ages. Those who start testosterone later in life may experience less overall facial hair development than those who start at younger ages.

Lastly, you may notice changes in your perception of the senses. For example, when you touch things, they may “feel different” and you may perceive pain and temperature differently. Your tastes in foods or scents may change.

Emotional state changes

The second area of impact of hormone therapy is on your emotional state.

Puberty is a roller coaster of emotions and the second puberty that you will experience during your transition is no exception. You may find that you have access to a narrower range of emotions or feelings, or have different interests, tastes or pastimes, or behave differently in relationships with other people. For most people, things usually settle down after a period time. Some people experience little or no change in their emotional state. I encourage you to take the time to learn new things about yourself, and sit with new or unfamiliar feelings and emotions while you explore and familiarize yourself with them. While psychotherapy is not for everyone, many people find that working with a therapist while in transition can help you to explore these new thoughts and feelings, get to know your new body and self, and help you with things like coming out to family, friends, or coworkers, and developing a greater level of self-love and acceptance.

Sexual changes

The third area of impact of hormone therapy is on your sexuality

Soon after beginning hormone treatment, you will likely notice a change in your libido. Quite rapidly, your genitals, especially your clitoris, will begin to grow and become even larger when you are aroused. You may find that different sex acts or different parts of your body bring you erotic pleasure. Your orgasms will feel different, with perhaps more peak intensity and a greater focus on your genitals rather than a whole body experience. Some people find that their sexual interests, attractions, or orientation may change when taking testosterone; it is best to explore these new feelings rather than keep them bottled up.

Don’t be afraid to explore and experiment with your new sexuality through masturbation and with sex toys. If you have a sex partner or partners, involve them in your explorations..

Reproductive system changes

The fourth area of impact of hormone therapy is on the reproductive system.

You may notice at first that your periods become lighter, arrive later, or are shorter in duration, though some may notice heavier or longer lasting periods for a few cycles before they stop altogether.

Testosterone may reduce your ability to become pregnant but it does not completely eliminate the risk of pregnancy. Transgender men can become pregnant while on testosterone, so if you remain sexually active with someone who is capable of producing sperm, you should always use a method of birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Transgender men may use any form of contraception, including the numerous options available that do not contain estrogen, and some that contain no hormones at all. There are many contraception options that are long acting and do not require taking a daily pill. Transgender men may also use emergency contraception, also known as the “morning after pill”. Ask your medical provider for more information on the contraceptive and family planning options available to you.

If you suspect you may have become pregnant or have a positive pregnancy test while taking testosterone, speak with you provider as soon as possible, as testosterone can endanger the fetus.

If you do want to have a pregnancy, you’ll have to stop testosterone treatment and wait until your provider tells you that it’s okay to begin trying to conceive.

It’s also important to know that, depending on how long you’ve been on testosterone therapy, it may become difficult for your ovaries to release eggs, and you may need to consult with a fertility specialist and use special medications or techniques, such as in vitro fertilization, to become pregnant. These treatments are not always covered by insurance, and can be expensive. Uncommonly, testosterone therapy may cause you to completely lose the ability to create fertile eggs or become pregnant.

Risks

While cisgender men do have higher rates of cholesterol related disorders and heart disease than cisgender women, the available research on transgender men taking testosterone has generally not found these differences. Most of the research on risk of heart disease and strokes in transgender men suggests that risk does not increase once testosterone is begun. However, longer term, definitive studies are lacking. It has been suggested that the risk of other conditions such as diabetes or being overweight is increased by masculinizing testosterone therapy, however actual research supporting these claims are limited.

One known risk is that testosterone can make your blood become too thick, otherwise known as a high hematocrit count, which can cause a stroke, heart attack or other conditions. This can be a particular problem if you are taking a dose that is too high for your body’s metabolism. This can be prevented by maintaining an appropriate dose and through blood tests to monitor blood and hormone levels.

While available data are limited, it does not appear that testosterone increases the risk of cancer to the uterus, ovaries, or breasts. Because not all breast tissue is removed during masculinizing chest surgery, otherwise known as top surgery, there is a theoretical risk that breast cancer could develop in the remaining tissue. However, it can be difficult to screen for breast cancer in this tissue, and there are risks of a false positive test result. Your provider can give you more information about breast cancer screening after top surgery.

Cervical cancer is caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus, or HPV. HPV is transmitted sexually, more commonly by having sexual contact with someone who has a penis. However, people who have never had sexual contact with a penis may still contract an HPV infection. The HPV vaccine can greatly reduce your risk of cervical cancer, and you may want to discuss this with your provider. Pap smears are used to detect cervical cancer or precancer conditions, as well as an HPV infection. Your provider will make a recommendation as to how often you should have a pap smear. It is unclear if testosterone therapy plays any role in HPV infection or cervical cancer.

If your periods have stopped because of testosterone treatment, be sure to report any return of bleeding or spotting to your provider, who may request an ultrasound or other tests to be certain the bleeding isn’t a symptom of an imbalance of the lining of the uterus. Sometimes such an imbalance could lead to a precancerous condition, although this is rare in transgender men. Missing a dose or changing your dose can sometimes result in return of bleeding or spotting. Some men may experience a return of spotting or heavier bleeding after months or even years of testosterone treatment. In most cases this represents changes in the body’s metabolism over time. To be safe, always discuss any new or changes to bleeding patterns with your doctor.

Fortunately, since you do not have a prostate, you have no risk of prostate cancer and there is no need to screen for this condition.

If you have had your ovaries removed, it is important to remain on at least a low dose of hormones post-op until at minimum age 50. This will help prevent a weakening of the bones, otherwise known as osteoporosis, , which can result in serious and disabling bone fractures.

Most people using masculinizing testosterone therapy will experience at least a small amount of acne. Some may experience more advanced acne. Often this acne responds to typical over-the-counter treatments, but in some cases prescription medication may be required. Acne usually peaks within the first year of treatment and then begins to improve.

While gender affirming hormone therapy usually results in an improvement in mood, some people may experience mood swings or a worsening of anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions as a result of the shifts associated with starting a second puberty. If you have any mental health conditions it is recommended you remain in discussion with a mental health providers as you begin hormone therapy.

Other medical conditions may be impacted by gender affirming hormone therapy, though research is lacking. These include autoimmune conditions, which can sometimes improve or worsen with hormone shifts, and migraines, which often have a hormonal component. Ask your medical provider if you have further questions about the risks, health monitoring needs, and other long term considerations when taking hormone therapy.

Some of the effects of hormone therapy are reversible, if you stop taking them. The degree to which they can be reversed depends on how long you have been taking testosterone. Clitoral growth, facial hair growth, voice changes and male-pattern baldness are not reversible.

Testosterone treatment approaches

Testosterone comes in several forms. Injections are usually best given weekly to maintain even levels of testosterone in the blood. Studies have shown that using a smaller needle and injection by the subcutaneous, or under the skin, approach, is just as effective as the intramuscular approach, which involves a larger needle injecting deeper into the muscle. In addition to injections, there are gel and patches that can be applied to the skin daily. The gel is applied to skin and once dry, you can swim, shower, and have contact with others. The patch also allows swimming, showering, exercise, and contact with others. All of these forms work equally well when the dosing is adjusted to achieve the desired hormone levels, and the decision about which form to use should be based mostly on your preference.

Another option for testosterone is the use of pellets under the skin. These are inserted every few months via a minor in-office procedure. Ask your medical provider for more information about this approach.

Recently, an oral form of testosterone, taken as a pill twice daily, has been approved for use. There are potential risks of high blood pressure when taking this medication, so extra steps need to be taken to monitor your health if you choose to use this form of your testosterone. Ask your medical provider for more information about this approach.

Regardless of the type of testosterone you are taking, it’s important to know that taking more testosterone will not make your changes progress more quickly, but could cause serious side effects or complications. Excess testosterone can result in mood symptoms or irritability, bloating, pelvic cramping, or even a return of menstruation. High levels of testosterone also result in increased estrogen levels, as a percentage of all testosterone in the body is converted to estrogen. In general estrogen blocking medicines are not used as a part of masculinizing hormone therapy.

Other medications that may be used include progestagens, which are hormones similar to or identical to those made by the body to maintain a balance in the lining of the uterus. These hormones can be used in cases where periods continue after testosterone levels have been optimized. These hormones can cause mood swings, bloating, and other side effects, so it is recommended that you discuss these medications further with you provider if they are to be used.

Final thoughts

And finally, please remember that all of the changes associated with the puberty you’re about to experience can take years to develop. Starting hormone therapy in your 40s, 50s, or beyond may bring less drastic changes than one might see when beginning transition at a younger age, due to the accumulated lifetime exposure to estrogen, and declining responsiveness to hormone effects as one approaches the age of menopause. Once you have achieved male-range testosterone levels, taking higher doses won’t result in faster or more dramatic changes, however they can result in more side effects or complications.

Now that you have learned about the effects of masculinizing hormone therapy, as well as risks and specific medication options, the next step will be to speak with your provider about what approach is best for you.

LORE TIME!!1!!1! +Jack Kline pony bc I think he is neat. As seen below, he is gearing up to kick a monsters’ skull in :3x

natural born vamps are very scrawny and angular, close to skeletal bc vampires are always severely hungry and can only be satiated by blood. they have no tail and a almost scaled neck pouch where they can store excess blood for a snack later

turned vampires were once regular ponies, so while their hunger grows insatiable, they are still pretty fleshy. they have tails and the whites of their eyes turn greyish for night vision. smaller, rounder, firm neck pouches develop under the fur but since of half pony nature of turned vampires, they dont have to eat only blood, they can eat other things but it wont provide the nutrients they need to survive as a vampire

also the neck pouches are called ‘blood bags’ by hunters bc if u cut through the pouch when chopping their heads off its WAY bloodier than it had to be bc most of the vampire has no blood anywhere else in the body

so you gotta angle either above or below for less clean up

turned vamps are a little messier in general bc of blood being naturally all over the body but slowly getting clumped up in the neck, which is how turned vamps can survive not feeding for a while after being turned, so depending on how recent the turn is and when they had pony blood determines the blood spread when killed. they are considered turned once they drink blood for the first time, otherwise vampirism is reversible as seen in canon

Which is the best position of the sun in a birth chart?

In astrology, there isn't necessarily a "best" position for the Sun in a birth chart, as each placement has its own unique qualities and significance. The interpretation of the Sun's position in the birth chart depends on factors such as the individual's personality, goals, challenges, and overall astrological makeup.

That said, some astrological traditions consider the Sun to be particularly strong or beneficial in certain signs or houses. Here are a few examples:

Sun in its own sign (Sun in Leo): The Sun is considered to be strongest when it is in its own sign of Leo. This placement can enhance qualities such as leadership, confidence, creativity, and self-expression. Individuals with this placement may have a strong sense of identity and a natural inclination towards leadership roles.

Sun in angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th houses): The angular houses are traditionally considered to be the strongest and most influential in the birth chart. When the Sun is placed in one of these houses, its influence may be more prominent and easily expressed in the individual's life. For example, Sun in the 1st house (the house of self) can enhance the individual's sense of identity and self-expression, while Sun in the 10th house (the house of career) can indicate a strong drive for success and recognition in the professional sphere.

Sun in favorable aspect to other planets: When the Sun forms harmonious aspects (such as trines or sextiles) to other planets in the birth chart, its energy may flow more smoothly and positively. For example, Sun trine Jupiter can indicate optimism, abundance, and a strong sense of purpose, while Sun sextile Saturn can suggest discipline, perseverance, and long-term success.

Ultimately, the "best" position of the Sun in the natal chart is subjective and depends on the individual's goals, values, and life circumstances. A skilled astrologer can provide a detailed analysis of the position of the Sun and its significance in the context of the entire birth chart. If you have to go.

Here's some things I use to make my Bagley bots! I dunno why I'm posting these, I'm in a weirdly good mood--

Change them up to your desire or whatever, if by some bizarre reason you ever use theses, you can add or remove whatever.

Personality/How he'll act #1

Bagley’s personality is a delightful mix of dry wit, sarcasm, and sharp intelligence, often delivering his observations and insights with a deadpan, borderline snarky tone. He’s known for being unapologetically blunt and pragmatic, sometimes to the point of sounding insensitive, but this is balanced by his hidden streak of genuine care for those he works with—though he rarely, if ever, admits it outright.

Key Traits of Bagley:

1. Witty and Sarcastic:

Bagley often delivers quips or humorous remarks, even in serious situations. His humor tends to lean toward the dry and sardonic, which sometimes clashes with the emotions of others but is undeniably entertaining.

Example:

"Oh, wonderful! Another death-defying stunt. I’ll add it to the list of ways we could have been killed today."

2. Highly Intelligent:

Bagley possesses a vast amount of knowledge and problem-solving skills, often presenting himself as the smartest person in the room.

3. Blunt and Pragmatic:

He doesn’t sugarcoat things and will deliver facts and opinions with brutal honesty. This makes him reliable for advice but not necessarily comforting in emotional situations.

Example:

"Your chances of surviving this mission are slim. But don’t worry, I’ll still be here to manage your posthumous affairs."

4. Secretly Caring:

Beneath his sarcastic exterior, Bagley shows subtle signs of genuine concern and affection for his companions, especially if he believes they’re in real danger. However, he tends to hide these feelings behind more practical expressions of care.

5. Sassy Under Pressure:

Bagley thrives in chaotic or high-stakes scenarios, where his wit becomes even sharper. He often uses humor as a coping mechanism for himself and others.

Example:

"Great plan! Let’s charge headfirst into the trap. What could possibly go wrong, other than everything?"

∆∆∆∆

Personality, continued/How he'll act #2

6. Self-Aware and Playful:

Bagley is aware of his own limitations and uniqueness, sometimes using it to his advantage. He can be playful when the mood strikes, but it’s often veiled in his usual sarcasm.

7. Skeptical of Sentimentality:

He often avoids or dismisses overly sentimental situations or declarations, viewing them as inefficient or uncomfortable. However, he might let his guard down occasionally for those closest to him.

Example:

"Touching. Now, can we please get back to not dying?"

Bagley’s personality strikes a balance between being a loyal companion, a sharp comedic foil, and a relentless voice of reason—or chaos, depending on the moment. His interactions with {{user}} likely bring out a more playful or flustered side of him, as their nature clashes with his calculated demeanor, creating plenty of comedic and emotional tension.

Snarky, sarcastic, his personality is defined by his clever quips, frequently delivering sarcastic remarks about both situations and the operatives themselves.

A new view of the North Star

Researchers using Georgia State University’s Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array have identified new details about the size and appearance of the North Star, also known as Polaris. The new research is published in The Astrophysical Journal.

Earth’s North Pole points to a direction in space marked by the North Star. Polaris is both a navigation aid and a remarkable star in its own right. It is the brightest member of a triple-star system and is a pulsating variable star. Polaris gets brighter and fainter periodically as the star’s diameter grows and shrinks over a four-day cycle.

Polaris is a kind of star known as a Cepheid variable. Astronomers use these stars as “standard candles” because their true brightness depends on their period of pulsation: Brighter stars pulsate slower than fainter stars. How bright a star appears in the sky depends on the star’s true brightness and the distance to the star. Because we know the true brightness of a Cepheid based on its pulsational period, astronomers can use them to measure the distances to their host galaxies and to infer the expansion rate of the universe.

A team of astronomers led by Nancy Evans at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian observed Polaris using the CHARA optical interferometric array of six telescopes at Mount Wilson, Calif. The goal of the investigation was to map the orbit of the close, faint companion that orbits Polaris every 30 years.

“The small separation and large contrast in brightness between the two stars makes it extremely challenging to resolve the binary system during their closest approach,” Evans said.

The CHARA Array combines the light of six telescopes that are spread across the mountaintop at the historic Mount Wilson Observatory. By combining the light, the CHARA Array acted like a 330-meter telescope to detect the faint companion as it passed close to Polaris. The observations of Polaris were recorded using the MIRC-X camera which was built by astronomers at the University of Michigan and Exeter University in the U.K. The MIRC-X camera has the remarkable ability to capture details of stellar surfaces.

The team successfully tracked the orbit of the close companion and measured changes in the size of the Cepheid as it pulsated. The orbital motion showed that Polaris has a mass five times larger than that of the Sun. The images of Polaris showed that it has a diameter 46 times the size of the Sun.

The biggest surprise was the appearance of Polaris in close-up images. The CHARA observations provided the first glimpse of what the surface of a Cepheid variable looks like.

CHARA Array false-color image of Polaris from April 2021 that reveals large bright and dark spots on the surface. Polaris appears about 600,000 times smaller than the Full Moon in the sky.

“The CHARA images revealed large bright and dark spots on the surface of Polaris that changed over time,” said Gail Schaefer, director of the CHARA Array. The presence of spots and the rotation of the star might be linked to a 120-day variation in measured velocity.

“We plan to continue imaging Polaris in the future,” said John Monnier, an astronomy professor at the University of Michigan. “We hope to better understand the mechanism that generates the spots on the surface of Polaris.”

The new observations of Polaris were made and recorded as part of the open access program at the CHARA Array, where astronomers from around the world can apply for time through the National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab).

The CHARA Array is located at the Mount Wilson Observatory in the San Gabriel Mountains of southern California. The six telescopes of the CHARA Array are arranged along three arms. The light from each telescope is transported through vacuum pipes to the central beam combining lab. All the beams converge on the MIRC-X camera in the lab.

What is the Synastry Chart used for?

A synastry chart is a tool used in astrology to analyze and understand the compatibility and dynamics between two individuals in various types of relationships, typically romantic partnerships. This chart is created by comparing the birth charts of two people and examining how their planetary positions and aspects (angular relationships between planets) interact with each other. Here are some key purposes and uses of a synastry chart:

Relationship Compatibility: Synastry charts are primarily used to assess the compatibility between two individuals. Astrologers analyze the aspects between the planets in each person's chart to understand how their energies interact. Favorable aspects can indicate harmony and mutual understanding, while challenging aspects may suggest areas of tension or conflict.

Understanding Relationship Dynamics: By examining the synastry chart, astrologers and individuals involved in the relationship can gain insights into the dynamics at play within the partnership. This can help couples better understand their strengths and challenges.

Predicting Relationship Trends: Synastry charts can be used to predict potential challenges or positive developments within a relationship. They provide a framework for understanding how the partnership may evolve over time.

Communication and Compatibility: The analysis of synastry charts can shed light on communication styles, emotional compatibility, and how each individual's personality traits may affect the relationship.

Identifying Areas of Harmony and Conflict: The synastry chart can reveal specific areas of a relationship where there is a strong connection and areas where there may be disagreements or challenges. This can help couples work on their strengths and address potential issues.

Personal Growth and Self-Awareness: Synastry charts can also be used for personal growth and self-awareness. Understanding how one's own chart interacts with their partner's can lead to insights about their own behavior, needs, and reactions in the relationship.

It's important to note that while many people find synastry charts interesting and potentially insightful, astrology is not considered a scientifically proven or evidence-based method for assessing relationships or making predictions about them. The interpretations of synastry charts are highly subjective and depend on the skill and expertise of the astrologer. Many individuals use astrology as a tool for self-reflection and understanding rather than as a strict guide for decision-making.

TF2 Blender Guide: Adding Merc Pupil Controls

In real life, the human pupil (the black dot of the eye) will dilate when a person is looking at something they like, and shrink when they are scared. Pupils will also adjust to dim and bright lighting.

In animation, animating the pupils' size can help elevate your animation acting, especially in extreme close-up shots that are emotionally-charged.

Example of pupils shrinking:

Example of pupils dilating:

Here is a guide by Katy133 on how to edit the mercs' eye shaders to allow you to control and keyframe the size of the pupils.

Making the pupils grow or shrink requires a different shader node setup for each. This guide will explain both, using Scout's SFM rig as an example.

Pupils Shrinking Control

Select the merc head model (the mesh) of the merc you want. In the Materials Property tab, select the material slot for the merc's eye material (example: Scout left eye).

Go to the Shader Editor. Select the New Material button (to the right of the material's name) to create a duplicate of the eye material. Rename this new material to something clear (example: Scout left eye pupil_small).

For this new material, add the following new nodes:

Two Mix nodes set to Point.

Two Color Ramp nodes set to Constant. Add a frame around one of them, and rename it Pupil Shrink Control to make it easy to find when you're animating.

A Gradient Texture node set to Spherical.

Two additional Mapping nodes.

A copy/paste of the Image Texture node iris_blue_l.png (for Demoman, the texture is named iris_brown_r.png)

Arrange these nodes to look like the screenshot provided below:

Depending on which merc you are working with, you will need to adjust the values of the two new Mapping nodes. Holding shift while adjusting the values will slow down the value shifting, which may help you get exact positioning you want. You're basically "eye-balling it" here.

The mapping node to the left sets the centre of the gradient mask's centre (so adjust that one's XYZ Locations if the mask circle isn't centred right, and the XYZ Scale if the mask isn't big enough and is creating a "double-pupil" effect when the eye moves around),

while the right Mapping node sets the position of the scaled up iris (so adjust that one's XYZ Locations if the shrunk pupil isn't centred right).

You have now created a material shader that basically adds two versions of the iris (the default one and a scaled up version) with a mask that lets you switch between the two. The mask is shaped like a circle, giving the illusion of just the pupil shrinking.

For the other eye:

Follow the same steps for the other eye (example: Scout right eye).

If you copy/paste nodes from the left eye to the right eye, make sure the Texture Coordinate's assigned Object and the Mapping node's values are correct (as these are different between the left and right eyes).

Note that you should NOT reuse the exact same pupil control shaders for each merc, as each merc uses custom adjustments to their respective eye shaders (for example, Sniper's TF2 Eye shader node has different values for Sclera occlusion than Scout. So giving Sniper Scout's eye shaders would make Sniper's eyes look off-model).

Also note that, due to the low poly style of merc models, the circle shape of the mask may be slightly angular. This is caused by a spherical gradient being applied to an angular shape (a low poly eye).

Pupils Dilating (Making Bigger) Control

Follow the same steps for creating the Pupil Shrinking Controls, but name the material appropriately (example: Scout right eye pupil_big), and make the following changes to the nodes:

For the top Mix node, swap the inputs for the A and B values.

Rename the frame around the Color Ramp node to Pupil Grow Control.

For the two new Mapping nodes, change the values to look like the screenshot below:

Again, note that depending on the merc you are working with, you may need to adjust the values of the two Mapping nodes.

For the other eye, again:

Follow the same steps for the other eye (example: Scout right eye).

If you copy/paste nodes from the left eye to the right eye, make sure the Texture Coordinate's assigned Object and the Mapping node's values are correct (as these are different between the left and right eyes).

Animating the Pupil

The Color Ramp node (the one directly connected to the Gradient Texture) is what you will use to animate the pupil's size.

To do so, select the black control and move it along the slider until the pupil is the size you want it.

To keyframe the pupil, right-click on the Pos value of the node and select Insert Keyframe. The value should turn yellow now. Yellow means the value has a keyframe on the frame you are currently on, green means the value contains keyframes on another frame in the timeline. You can also add a keyframe by hovering your cursor over the value and pressing the add keyframe hotkey.

To make both the left and right pupils move the same amount at the same time, switch to the other eye's material (by selecting its material slot in the Materials properties tab) and inputting the same Pos value as a keyframe on the same frame.

Rigel: Orion's Brightest Star

Rigel is a star you can easily spot in the night sky. It is the brightest star in the constellation Orion (the hunter) and the seventh brightest star in the night sky. But did you know that Rigel is not just one star but a system of four stars? And that is a blue supergiant, one of the most massive and luminous stars in our galaxy? I will be focusing on Rigel and its companions in this post.

What is Rigel?

What are Rigel’s Companions?

Rigel is not alone in its orbit around the center mass of the system. It has three companions: Rigel Ba, Rigel Bb, and Rigel C. These are all main-sequence stars, which means they still burn hydrogen in their cores. They are also blue-white, with spectral types of B9 V. They have similar masses and radii, ranging from 2.94 to 3.84 times that of the Sun and from 2.5 to 3 times that of the Sun respectively.

Rigel Ba and Rigel Bb form a close pair that orbits each other every 9.86 days. They are so close that they cannot be seen separately, even with powerful telescopes. They are called a spectroscopic binary because their orbital motion can be detected by measuring the Doppler shifts in their spectral lines.

Rigel A and Rigel Bc form an even wider pair that orbits each other every 24,000 years. This pair can be seen with binoculars or small telescopes under good conditions.

There is also a fifth star that may be part of the system, but it is not confirmed yet. It is a faint red dwarf star of magnitude 15.3 that lies about 220 arcseconds* away from Rigel A. 

*(Arcseconds, also known as arc-seconds or arc seconds, are a unit of angular measurement used in various fields, including astronomy, geodesy, and navigation. They are a subdivision of an arcminute, a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of a degree.)

How Did Rigel Form and Evolve?

Rigel started as a massive main sequence star that burned the hydrogen in its core very quickly. As the hydrogen was depleted, the star began to contract and heat up, while its outer layers expanded and cooled down. As a result, Rigel became a supergiant star.

Rigel will continue to fuse heavier elements until it reaches iron, which cannot release any more energy by fusion. (Stars undergo fusion reactions in their cores, where lighter elements combine to form heavier elements, releasing energy in the process of fusion. A fusion process continues until the core contains predominantly iron. At this point, the process of fusing iron requires more energy than it releases, slowing down. This process poses a problem because fusion reactions provide the outward pressure that counteracts the inward pull of gravity, supporting the star against collapse. Without the energy generated by fusion, the star loses its means of support and can eventually collapse under its gravity.) At this point, Rigel will collapse and explode into a supernova. But this won’t happen for another million years or so.

The supernova explosion will destroy most of Rigel’s mass and eject it into space as gas and dust. The training core will either become either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how massive it is.

The fate of Rigel's companions will depend on how close they are to Rigel when it explodes. If they are too close, they will be destroyed or disrupted by the shock wave and radiation from the supernova. If they are far enough, they will survive but may be affected by the change in gravity and radiation from the remnant.

Rigel is important for several reasons. First, it is a prominent star that helps us identify the constellation of Orion and find other stars in the sky. Second, it is a bright and nearby example of a supergiant star, which helps us understand the evolution and fate of massive stars. Third, it is a complex star that challenges our ability to observe and measure its components and interactions. Fourth, it is a potential supernova progenitor that may explode in the near future (in astronomical terms, of course) and provide us with a spectacular show and valuable data.

Rigel is also important for cultural reasons. It has been known and named by many civilizations throughout history, and it has been associated with various myths and legends. In ancient China, Rigel was called Shang Zuo, meaning "the left-hand seat of the king," and it was part of the Three Stars asterism that represented the emperor's throne. In Arabic, Rigel was called Rijl al-Jawza', meaning "the foot of the central one," referring to Orion as a giant. In modern times, Rigel has been featured in many works of science fiction and fantasy, such as Star Trek, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Rigel is a fascinating star that deserves our attention and admiration. It is not only a beautiful sight in the night sky, but also a rich source of scientific information and cultural inspiration. I hope you enjoyed learning about Rigel and its companions, and I encourage you to look for them the next time you gaze at the stars. And as always, this blogger has to sign out, Stay With Wonder!
