We've all heard of a waxing or a waining moon as well as the quarters of the moon. Why is there no moon in the sky when it is new, I want to see something bright and shiny, but do we really understand what is what in relation to each other. The process becomes so simple after viewing this chart. Our cub is studying the tides in relation to the moon and the different type of tides for different moon phases. How can something so common be so entangled in our existence. When I was a little boy, my friends and I would lay in the summer grass and look up into the sky and marvel at the moon, especially when it was full. We would look at the stars and discuss the existence of Martians and UFOs. We saw shooting stars streaking across the sky and we saw the vastness of the heavens without end. We lay there for hours staring into the summer night sky and filled our minds with memories. Great picture Tao..

Proxemics
The study of personal space:

Don’t Stand So Close To Me. In 1966 anthropologist Edward T. Hall coined the term proxemics to describe the study of how people perceive the proximity of others. Hall’s work was inspired by an animal study conducted by German zoologist Heini Hediger, who found that animals maintained various boundaries depending on whether they were preparing to escape, to attack, to communicate with members of another species, or relating to a member of their own species.
Based on these insights, and after conducting his own research, Edward Hall developed the idea of a set of expanding circles, called reaction bubbles, that described how humans manage the space around them. The innermost circle he identified as Intimate space, reserved for those we are closest to, and usually measuring 6 to 18 inches (15 to 45cm) in radius. The next level up he dubbed Personal space, the distance we are comfortable maintaining with close friends, about 1.5 to 4 feet (0.5 to 1.2m). He used the term Social space to indicate our preferred proximity to acquaintances, about 5–12 feet (1.5–3.6m), and Public space for the distance we need for public speaking, 12–25 feet or more (3.6–7.6m).
This sounds very specific, but Hall himself acknowledged that these distances vary from culture to culture. While those from less-populated countries, or countries where individualism and privacy are highly valued, are more comfortable with larger spaces between themselves and others, in other cultures maintaining what is considered excessive distance can be perceived as rude or unfriendly.

The early 60's as I remember.

These use to be on every booth table in all the burger joints. 3 plays for a quarter. lots of Elvis, Everly Brothers, Ricky Nelson and Pat Boone. 45 records were $1.00 and Cokes were a Dime. Eisenhower was president and I won a 2 transistor radio to listen to. Leather jackets and ducktails were the style. We slicked our hair with

and our favorite drinks were Cherry Cokes and Cherry Fosifates.

We ate

candy bars and push-ups.

We washet it all down with a rootbeer.

Every kid had a Daisy.

and a box of BB's was a nickle.

Our kids will never know our simple pleasures nor will we understand theirs.

Nemesis (in Greek, Νέμεσις), also called Rhamnousia/Rhamnusia ("the goddess of Rhamnous"), at her sanctuary at Rhamnous, north of Marathon, in the Greek mythology was the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris, vengeful fate personified as a remorseless goddess. The name Nemesis is related to the Greek word νείμειν, meaning "to give what is due". The Romans equated one aspect of Greek Nemesis, which might be interpreted as "indignation at unmerited advantage", as Invidia (Aronoff 2003).
Nemesis is now used as a term used to describe one's worst enemy, normally someone or something that is the exact opposite of oneself but is also somehow similar. For example, white could be considered the nemesis of black. Professor Moriarty is freqently described as the nemesis of Sherlock Holmes.
